So close to the beach your flip-flops won’t even notice the walk. 203 Carlton Ave is an updated 2-bed, 2-bath home in Surfside Beach, Brazoria County, just a quick stroll from the sand, with Gulf views at a price that won’t make your wallet cry. Catch ocean sunrises and evening breezes from the big covered deck. Inside, the bright open-concept layout makes hosting easy, and modern finishes keep it fresh. Durable cement board siding means less upkeep, and the outdoor shower keeps the sand outside where it belongs. Downstairs, covered parking doubles as a shady hangout and BBQ spot. Use it as a second home, a personal beach escape, or explore short-term rental potential. Gulf views without the beachfront price tag. Tour it before somebody else claims your deck chair. Experience the Signature Difference.
