Description

Picture this: laying in bed or relaxing in a couch in the living room and looking at waves, the beach, sunset all from your home - all day and all night long! 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.

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.
