Nothing beats a home-cooked meal nestled around the dining table with your loved ones. Except, maybe, a fresh family meal enjoyed in the ocean air, prepared at your Garden City Realty vacation home’s outdoor kitchen. Between refreshing poolside sips and seasonal snacks, you can find plenty of ways to savor your vacation home’s outdoor luxuries.
Maximize your sunny days on the South Strand at one of Garden City Realty’s premier properties with deluxe outdoor amenities. Next to salty breezes and sun-bathed leisure, below are some reasons to include an outdoor kitchen or bar on your list of ultimate vacation home enhancements.
Keep an eye on the kids’ pool activities while fixing lunch at your outdoor kitchenette. The opportunities for outdoor entertainment abound at Boykins Rest, where the fenced-in yard is the only thing keeping the fun contained.
