Located within the exclusive, gated community of the Marlin Quay, this fully renovated, updated and beautifully furnished residence defines coastal luxury. Lovingly maintained by its current owners and never rented, this immaculate 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath penthouse offers an unparalleled living experience in one of the area’s most desirable waterfront settings. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a bright, open layout designed for both comfort and sophistication. Expansive windows flood the living spaces with natural light while perfectly framing breathtaking views of the ocean, inlet, and marina. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with stainless steel appliances, solid surface countertops, and premium cabinetry — ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The dining area flows seamlessly from the main living space, creating the perfect setting for hosting family and friends. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, showcasing spectacular water views, a spacious walk-in closet, and a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom with luxurious details.

Note: Some images have been enhanced to highlight the spectacular sunsets — one of the most captivating features of this stunning penthouse.
