What's special

Wide ocean viewsScenic balconyLuxury vinyl plank flooring

Wide ocean views set the tone the moment you walk inside this 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. Direct ocean views from both the living room and primary bedrooms create a natural connection to the shore. The scenic balcony offers the perfect place to sit and unwind with the sound of the waves below—ideal for slow mornings and unhurried evenings. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, and the condo is being sold furnished with a washer and dryer in place. Privately used and not a rental with the current owners, the home has been well maintained and thoughtfully kept. An easy, comfortable beach property with flexibility for full-time living, a second home, or future rental use.
