About This Home

As of August 2023

Majestic, storybook beach cottage provides privacy, peace and a sizeable rental revenue! This pristine beach retreat is the perfect home whether you are looking for a residence, second home or rental investment. With over $45,000 a year rental income, this updated home on the beach is a rare gem you may want to share with others! A new HVAC unit, grinder pump, dryer, window treatments, mattresses are definitely a big plus but the renovated primary bathroom is amazing! A fully, oversized tiled walk in shower along with the new vanity area is a gorgeous update that exudes spa vibes. The charm of this cottage flows effortlessly room to room and onto a covered screened in porch where you can watch the sun come up and listen to the lull of the waves. But wait! There's more! This property is expansive and leaves room for adding your own outdoor kitchen, firepit or a pool. The deeded beach access is defined by a clear path from this precious cottage to the gorgeous white beaches of Fort Morgan. The quiet area is reminiscent of bygone days where nothing impedes your view of the beach or the stars. Summer, fall, winter or spring are all the right time to enjoy friends and family in your own piece of paradise. Convenient to attractions, restaurants and marinas, you cannot beat the location. And drumroll please....the price is incredible! No associations or fees! No assessments! This home has lots of space for memories and income to be made. This home won't sit long....but make it yours and you can sit as long as you want in your new beach home! Call today to tour!
