LEVEL BY LEVEL
Level 1 — Ground Floor:
Five bedrooms, a full entertainment wing including a dedicated game room with professional pool table and board games, a home theatre room for movie nights and presentations, a wet bar, and a poolside cabana. Direct access to the heated pool, hot tub, and outdoor areas.( Heated pool Open April 26–October 10; heating included in July/August (safety-limited), with optional heating at $750/week when weather permits (including July enhancements and off-season).
Level 2 — Main Living Level:
The heart of The Hemingway. An expansive great room with vaulted ceilings and panoramic ocean views, a gourmet chef's kitchen equipped with dual commercial-grade refrigerators and freezers, two gas ranges, dual dishwashers, and granite countertops. Indoor seating for 16+ guests, plus bar seating and casual dining. The oceanfront deck provides breathtaking sunrise views and al fresco dining. A library and family lounge area provide quieter spaces for reading or conversation.
Level 3 — Upper Bedrooms:
Four additional bedrooms, multiple shared bathrooms, and a private upper deck with panoramic ocean and coastline views.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The Hemingway features 14 bedrooms and 15 full bathrooms distributed across all three levels. Bed configurations include king beds, queen beds, and twin-over-double bunk beds. Multiple ensuite and shared bathrooms provide ample space and privacy for all 32 guests.
ENTERTAINMENT & RECREATION
The Hemingway delivers resort-level entertainment throughout. The ground floor entertainment wing features a dedicated game room with professional pool table and board games, a home theatre room for movie nights and presentations, a wet bar, and a poolside cabana. Multiple smart TVs with streaming are positioned throughout the residence. The expansive outdoor areas are complemented by a premium gas grill for oceanside dining. Starlink satellite internet delivers speeds up to 400+ Mbps throughout the property — ideal for remote work, streaming, video conferencing, and keeping large groups connected.
EXCEPTIONAL VALUE FOR LARGE GROUPS
The Hemingway delivers outstanding value for groups of 20–32 guests. During peak season, the per-person cost at The Hemingway is significantly less than splitting your group across two or three smaller rentals — while offering resort-level amenities, professional management, and the privacy of your own oceanfront estate.
Compare: Two 8-bedroom rentals at $15,000–$19,000 each = $30,000–$38,000/week for fewer bedrooms, fewer bathrooms, split logistics, and no shared gathering space. The Hemingway keeps everyone under one roof with 14 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and dedicated event-ready spaces — often at a lower total cost.
EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS
The Hemingway is purpose-built for life's most significant moments. From destination weddings and corporate retreats to graduation weekends and milestone anniversaries, events are welcomed and fully supported.
Wedding Reservations: From rental starts $17,000 for a 3-night weekend stay.

Full event coordination and vendor partnerships available.

Additional services—such as grocery pre-stocking, private chefs, in-home spa treatments, and activity planning—are arranged through trusted local vendors; guests connect directly, and these services are optional and not included in the rental cost.
TRANSPARENT PRICING — NO HIDDEN FEES
We believe in full transparency — no hidden fees and no surprises. Your quoted rate includes access to all standard amenities including the heated private pool, hot tub, game room, and fully equipped gourmet kitchen.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Our stay at the Hemingway was incredible! This oceanfront home is truly one of a kind—spacious, beautifully maintained, and designed for both comfort and fun. With 14 bedrooms and plenty of living space, it was perfect for our group to spread out while still feeling connected.The amenities were outstanding. We loved the private pool and hot tub, and the direct beach access made it easy to enjoy the sand and ocean anytime. Inside, the home had everything we could ask for—multiple gathering areas, a fully equipped kitchen, Smart TVs, and comfortable bedrooms with private baths.The location in the 4x4 area is unforgettable. Watching the wild horses roam freely right by the property was magical and something you don’t experience anywhere else. It added a sense of wonder to the trip that we’ll always remember.Check-in was smooth with keyless entry, WiFi worked well, and the host was excellent—responsive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed.The Hemingway is more than just a vacation rental—it’s an experience. Perfect for large families, groups, or special events, and one we’d absolutely return to again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
We had an amazing time at The Hemingway from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach with breathtaking views of the ocean. The home itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.The freshly done gourmet kitchen was a standout feature, fully equipped with everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy quality time together. The multiple living spaces made it easy to spread out and unwind, and the attention to detail throughout the home made our stay extra comfortable.If you're looking for a luxury beach retreat with top-notch amenities and plenty of space, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend!

Very nice premium property on ocean front. The booking and checking process was a breeze and the owner/management is very responsive to questions.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The location of the home is so nice and peaceful and the instructions about the access was excellent. The response and attentiveness of the property management team was excellent. However, the house itself needs a lot of work and TLC and is very over priced for the quality of home. The kitchen appliances don’t work properly, the furnishing are dated, there is no real seating options on the deck, many of the decking board are popping up and creating trip hazards, the pool liner is loose in many places, several of the bedspreads were stained, etc. I give the location and the responsiveness a 5 star, but the home itself is truly a 1 star.
