Morning light settles over the lanai while steam rises from your coffee cup, the yard still quiet before the day gets going. By afternoon the kids and the dogs have claimed the fenced yard as their own, and once the sun dips, the fire pit takes over as the evening’s gathering spot. Henry’s Hideaway is built around that rhythm - open space, easy togetherness, and room for everyone (two legs or four) to settle in.
Sleeping Arrangements:
The single-level layout sleeps up to nine across three bedrooms and five beds - two kings and three twins - plus a queen pull-out sofa in the detached game room for extra guests. Every bed comes with cotton linens, extra pillows and blankets, and room-darkening blinds for a proper night’s rest.
Indoor Living:
The main living area opens up with high-beamed ceilings, a sectional and recliner facing a 65-inch HDTV, and a game console for quieter nights in. Central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, and portable fans keep things comfortable regardless of the season, and an indoor fireplace adds warmth when the evenings turn cool. A dedicated workspace with a chair, desk, and surge protector is tucked into its own private space if you need to get some work done.
Kitchen & Dining:
The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking, with a Samsung refrigerator, Samsung stainless steel oven, SAMSUNG stainless steel electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, mini fridge, and freezer. Mornings run on a drip coffee maker or Keurig, and the dining table seats the group together, with the lanai’s table for eight as an easy overflow for meals outside. Cookware, dishes, silverware, wine glasses, a toaster, baking sheet, and blender round out the setup, and barbecue utensils are on hand for the gas grill outside.
Bathrooms:
Both bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, and cleaning products, plus a hair dryer and a bathtub for soaking off the day.
Outdoor Living:
Outside, 1.5 fenced acres give everyone - kids, dogs, grown-ups - room to spread out. The above-ground pool runs 4 feet deep and is open all year, though it’s not heated, so expect it to run cool outside the warmer months. The detached, climate-controlled game room sits just steps from the house with an 8-foot pool table, 60-game arcade, life-size games, a theme room, 55-inch Smart TV, and a beverage fridge - built for rainy afternoons or just escaping the heat. Beyond that, you’ve got a fire pit, gas grill, outdoor dining area, and plenty of outdoor furniture for sitting out under the gazebo lights.
Pet & family Details:
This home is pet-friendly, with 2 dog max on how many dogs can come along - (may consider more on case by case basis) and we may ask that you check in with us first, since it can depend on breed and training. A $99 per-pet fee applies. For families, a crib, pack ‘n play, and standalone high chair are available upon request, along with children’s dinnerware, outlet covers, baby safety gates, and board games. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit are on-site for peace of mind, along with exterior security cameras (a Ring camera at the front door and a Ring Floodlight at the game room) for guest safety and comfort.
