About This Home

As of November 2025

Nestled by the beach, this charming three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home offers a perfect blend of comfort and coastal living. The wrap-around deck (less than 5 years old and recently stained) provides ample space for relaxing and enjoying the ocean breeze, while ideal for sunbathing or entertaining. Inside, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen featuring granite counter tops, tile floor, and renovated, soft close cabinets as well as an open, yet cozy living area. The comfortable bedrooms have large closets for storage. Want easy beach access. The home is within a block of two beach access points, allowing for endless days of sun, sand, and surf. As a bonus, the home is within a mile of a public access boat ramp. Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves and spending your days exploring the shoreline. Evenings can be spent on the porch, watching the sunset, or on the deck, under the stars. Ample room under the home, has many possibilities. Use as a work area, place to store your golf cart or park your car. This area has tons of lighting, a code locked storage closet and everyone's favorite, an outdoor shower. The owners spared no expense when installing the aluminum roof and no worries with an HVAC installed in 2021. You will see the love in every detail of this home. This beach home is more than just a place to live; it's a retreat, a sanctuary, and a gateway to a relaxed, fulfilling lifestyle. It's the perfect place to create lasting memories.
