Stunning ocean views from the living room and the front bedroom. Step on to the deck outside the living room and master bedroom -- spectacular views of the ocean and beach, you can see occasional dolphins, jumping in the water closer to sunset. What is between you and the water? Just a flight of stairs down to the private beach from your beautiful home. You can have your own bonfires on the private beach designated only to the owners. Its a fully furnished 2 bedroom and 2 bath condo with an in unit laundry. Being on the 3rd floor gives you long and wide views of the ocean. You must be wondering, can I/we afford this ocean-view home? The HOA allows short term rentals, you can offset your ownership costs by renting out the condo. Send photos or livestream the jaw-dropping beach and ocean views to your soon-to-be-jealous co-workers. The complex has walking trails along a small duck pond (little kids love that), you can do birdwatching, play tennis, pickleball, and basketball. Want to party and invite a large number of friends? A private party room available for the owners to reserve for guests on the property.
