Since purchasing unit E-1 in 2019, the owners retained the services of Waters Designs to add stylish decor and local artwork to its comfortable living spaces. The owners also made numerous improvements to the unit, applying window tint to reduce heat along with replacing all window coverings and window/slider screens, adding TVs in two bedrooms plus a 75" TV in the living room, even installing a new spigot and hose at front entrance for rinsing off sandy toes. Appliances updated in recent years include the full size washer/dryer, stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, water heater, and the air conditioning system. Installed in 2021, a gas grill on the unit's covered patio next to a handy wet bar invites you to enjoy colorful sunset skies as dinner is prepared al fresco. Ready to welcome you and your guests, well-appointed unit E-1 includes garage parking (with storage for beach gear) as well as one additional open parking space.
