Three large bedrooms right on the beach

Nice, and large house (with three large bedrooms facing the ocean)... and it is well located... and it is right on the ocean; but it is a little dated and needs minor touchups (hurricane shutters not secured in their track). Upper level sun deck with a lower deck that is shaded.

Great Beach getaway!

This was a very clean property with excellent beach access and views. We had plenty of space for our friends and family to gather, eat, and relax at the beach. Would highly recommend.
