    What's special

    Welcome to your new beach home! Your beautifully updated second-row retreat has fantastic ocean views and spacious gathering areas with plenty of room for everyone to relax and reconnect. Located just steps from the beach access, your home combines the essence of beach life with updated comforts, styles...and it's got a solid rental history to boot! Designed for easy entertaining, the open-concept floor plan provides a bright and airy living area with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless flow into the kitchen and dining spaces. Recent updates include fresh interior paint throughout, renovated cabinetry and kitchen island with new quartz countertops, tile backsplash, fixtures and lighting; new living area furniture and lighting, new LVP flooring in bedrooms, new LED recessed lights throughout and tons of other thoughtful improvements that create a clean, easy to love, coastal-modern feel. Multiple covered and uncovered decks provide lots of outdoor living spaces where you can enjoy the ocean air, morning coffee, stars and moon at night, spectacular sunrises and breathtaking evening skies. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and a sleeper sectional you have flexible sleeping arrangements that will allow you to comfortably accommodate large groups while providing plenty of privacy. Covered parking, outdoor storage, fully enclosed fence with dog-run, artificial turf, low maintenance natural areas with established palm trees (that are exceptionally gorgeous when they're lit up by the landscape lighting at night!) all provide a worry-free and beautiful landscape year-round and there's still so much space to do so much more! Whether you're searching for a personal beach getaway, a second home, or an investment opportunity this property delivers a terrific location, well-appointed updates, to-die-for views, and the lifestyle that makes Ocean Isle Beach such a sought-after destination. Welcome Home!
