About This Home

As of October 2019

This tiny cottage is adorable, and lives larger than you would expect. With an ideal location one block from the beach, life does not get much better than it can be here. This 1950's beach cottage has been recently gussied up with new solid core, water proof, plank flooring in the entire house, fresh paint, in and out, a new acrylic coating on the kitchen counter, a new gas stove, and new heater. Life is short, live by the beach.
