About This Home

As of August 2023

***Rare 3 Bedroom Beach Villa ***Fully furnished and Rental Ready*** Private Beach***Great investment***Vaulted Ceilings***These coveted top floor true 3 bedroom Villas in Seascape Resort rarely come on the market. This Villa has a large deck that overlooks a pond with a soothing fountain and provides sweeping views of the 17th fairway of the Seascape golf course. A perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, listen to the tranquil fountain and watch the sunrise! Soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams and two sliders make for a light and bright open floor plan flooded with natural sunlight. The kitchen has granite countertops. The living and dining areas are beautifully furnished with a color palette of coastal hues and decorative accents. This beach retreat is being sold fully furnished and rental ready and is ideal as a second home or top-producing rental property. PRO TIP: Top floor units are super quiet because you have no one above to create noise.
No deferred Maintenance New HVAC and Hot Water Heater in 2021, and new double pane glass replaced in all windows. Tile floors in main living areas and Luxury tile plank flooring in all bedrooms (no carpet to replace!) You will also enjoy the large outside storage unit for all of your beach toys and chairs. This phase of Seascape is scheduled to have the exterior siding refurbished and painted in 2023.
When you're not relaxing on the sugary white beach, you can enjoy the many activities the resort has to offer! Seascape has 330 acres with 2,000 linear feet of private beach. The resort includes an 18-hole golf course, 5 pools, 6 pickleball courts, 6 tennis courts, a brand new basketball court, and 5 restaurants! Seascape also has a conference center, Whale's Tail Restaurant on the beach, and more. The beach is a short stroll or you may want to jump on one of the trams. There is also ample private parking at the beach for Seascape owners only. This spacious 3 bedroom, 2 full bath condo will accommodate up to 6 guests as furnished now, but just add a sleeper sofa and make it 8 guests! This unit is not and has not been on a rental program so easy to show. Call me today and let's go see it for yourself!
