A delightful retreat - perfect for those craving a seaside lifestyle. This charming two-level home, fondly known as "The Mermaid's Cottage," offers a cozy & inviting atmosphere w/ views of Sunset Cove & beach access just across the street.

A full bathroom completes this level. Make your way to the 2nd floor where you'll find four comfortable bedrooms, each designed to capture the essence of coastal living. Two of the bedrooms provide direct access to a sun-drenched deck, an ideal spot for enjoying morning coffee w/ a view. There's also a full bathroom on this floor.
