    What's special

    Step into the pages of a Nicholas Sparks novel with this classic oceanfront beach house, where timeless charm meets coastal comfort. Nestled among the dunes, a private walkway leads you directly to the 2-story gazebo and the sandy shoreline, offering a front-row seat to sunrises, sea breezes, and the soothing rhythm of the waves. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for families or groups, featuring two sets of bedrooms, each pair sharing a full bath, perfect for both privacy and convenience. The kitchen is a coastal cook's dream, outfitted with gleaming stainless steel appliances, elegant marble counters with a matching backsplash, and crisp white cabinets that brighten the space. The dining table comfortably seats six or you can grab a quick bite at the breakfast bar before heading to the beach. The living room flows effortlessly onto a spacious deck crowned by a stunning two-story gazebo, ideal for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply soaking in the sweeping ocean views. Just off the living area is a flexible bonus room with a panoramic window facing the water, making it the perfect space for hosting extra guests or enjoying a cozy game night on rainy days. Outside, you'll find everything you need for a true beach lifestyle: a refreshing outdoor shower, handy storage for all your gear, and a charming brick BBQ area for seaside cookouts. Whether you're seeking quiet coastal mornings, lively beach gatherings, or just a place to breathe in the salt air, this home offers the perfect escape.
