OCEANFRONT! BEST LOCATION! EXTRAORDINARY VIEWS! HOT TUB! FIRE PIT!
The location is PERFECT! Great view just across the street. Short walk to beach, boardwalk, and lighthouse. The home is an older home, but has been maintained well. Hanging out in the front porch admiring the view and people watching was our favorite part of this home.
