Sip a cocktail, or just soak in the sunshine from the separate deck built close to the water's edge. The home is accessible by the 75 stairs, but the owners have even built-in small seats for taking a break halfway up the stairs, or for staging items part of the way up and down if you have a large load. There is also a 3 season 4-wheel drive shared driveway. You can park out of the weather under the deck with a smaller vehicle, or park on the pad built at the bottom of the drive.
