This beautifully remodeled, one-level beach cottage blends laid-back island vibes with serious investment potential—ideal as a personal retreat, full-time home, or a high-performing short-term rental.
The main cottage features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and has been thoughtfully & stylishly updated throughout—highlighted by gleaming refinished hardwood floors, new waterproof vinyl plank flooring, and a renovated kitchen with solid surface countertops, electric stove, subway tile backsplash, soft close drawers, under cabinet lighting and a custom pantry cabinet. Upgraded lighting features include dimmers on most of the lighting throughout the home as well as innovative low-profile remote-control ceiling fans. The renovated bath is fresh and stylish with new enamel tub, tile flooring, custom tile niches, vanity with storage & mirror with additional hidden storage. A versatile laundry/office space adds functionality, while replaced windows and screens invite in the coastal breeze. Step outside onto a massive back deck that’s perfect for outdoor dining, relaxing, or entertaining under the stars.
The fully fenced backyard with 8-foot fence is a private oasis packed with added value. A separate 350+/- SqFt 1 bedroom/1-bathroom Tiny House—ideal for hosting guests or maximizing rental income. You’ll also find a climate-controlled bonus room/storage building, a powered workshop, an expansive covered entertaining space, and even an outdoor shower to wash the beach off your feet.

There is plenty of room to take this property to the next level and add a pool to this lot. Double gates make room for a boat or additional vehicle to be parked behind the fenced in back yard.
