LOCATION:
The location is my favorite thing about the property. I enjoy the amazing breezes and the convenience of a central location. The entire island is only 2.5 miles long and the entire island is accessible by a golf cart and/or bikes. The home is conveniently located mid-island and just 1 block from Memorial Park which has a YMCA, Library, island-themed playground, and basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts. Additionally, the home is located close to the beach access boardwalk at 6th Street via a short 4-block walk (roughly a 5 minute stroll).
