Charming Beach Getaway/Next to Beach & 2nd Street/Lower Unit
Welcome to our updated and remodeled Classic Spanish-inspired Duplex (Lower Unit), located on a corner lot in the heart of Belmont Shore. Situated between the world-famous 2nd Street and the beach, our property offers easy access to wonderful restaurants, shopping options, close proximity to the bay, and various recreational amenities, all within a short walk.
The unit has 2 large BR & 1.75 baths, and a full large kitchen, fully stocked with a blender, coffee maker, pots & pans to cook with, a dining, and a large living room. It also comes with a full washer and dryer.
This property exudes unique charm with its distinct architectural characteristics of the era, including coved and rounded ceilings, plaster walls, double doors and windows, shutters, built-ins, nooks, original hardwood flooring, and open floor plans.
The unit offers a front lawn, perfect for relaxation and hanging out, as well as a back patio exclusive to the lower unit. It provides a much quieter environment compared to properties near 2nd Street or the beach. Being situated on a corner means you won't have neighbors' noise on both sides. This feature makes our unit highly desirable, as properties close to 2nd Street or the beach often suffer from significant traffic noise. Additionally, our unit has central heating, which is uncommon but essential for chilly evenings, and portable AC units to keep you cool during the summer. We've equipped it with super-fast fiber-optic WIFI and a Minut Noise Monitor for your convenience. Moreover, a built-in water filter system ensures you can fill up your water bottles with fresh and delicious water.

Please be aware that quiet hours in the neighborhood are observed from 10 pm to 7 am. Our Minut system ensures compliance with this policy by automatically notifying you via text and/or phone call if the decibel limit exceeds 75 for more than 10 minutes between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am.
We kindly request your attention to a particular aspect of our property. Our space may not be suitable for young children who are prone to running around indoors or in hallways.
While we certainly welcome families, we feel it's essential to highlight that our property may have certain features or limitations that could pose safety concerns for energetic youngsters. We want all our guests to have a safe and pleasant stay, and we believe it's important to be transparent about any potential hazards.
