    What's special

    If you've been dreaming of owning a turnkey beach home with stunning views and effortless charm, this fully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bath gem delivers. Just one row from the ocean and only a few steps from the public beach access, this is a rare find with water views on both sides of the home! Wake up to the soothing sounds of the waves and sip your morning coffee on one of two ocean-facing covered decks. In the evening, relax with a glass of wine and watch the sunset on the sound side from your covered porch. You'll feel connected to the water no matter where you are. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street and just 5 minutes from the Surf City Bridge, you're close to the best dining, shopping, and local activities, yet feel like you're in your own peaceful paradise. The main level features an open living space with the kitchen, living room, and dining area all overlooking the water. A bedroom and full bathroom are also located on the main level. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms and a spacious full bathroom designed for both comfort and style. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and direct access to the large bathroom featuring double sinks, a walk-in shower, and a jetted soaking tub perfectly positioned to take in serene views of the sound — the ideal place to unwind after a day on the beach. Outside, enjoy the convenience of a private outdoor shower, a storage room for all your beach essentials, and a grilling area that overlooks the spacious, fully fenced yard. With plenty of storage, spacious living areas, and coming fully furnished, this home is perfect for year-round living or a private coastal escape.
