This stunning oceanfront split-level home, located DIRECTLY on the beach, has just that.

On the lower level, accessible through a spiral staircase off the kitchen, is the bonus room that will comfortably sleep two people on two twin beds. A few steps from the spiral staircase is access to the loft, boasting a queen bed and a balcony perfect, for counting the millions of stars in the night sky over the Atlantic. Two other bedrooms, one with a king bed and access to the ocean-side deck and one with a queen bed, complete the sleeping arrangements and are found near the split-level living area in the middle of this property. On the main level, you will find a beautifully remodeled kitchen complete with tile, huge farm sink, a granite island with seating for six and a cozy table that overlooks the lower living room area. Gorgeous exposed wooden beams can be found throughout. The two person hot tub sits just off the kitchen area, waiting to complete your stay in paradise. AHHH, peace!

(5/5 stars) If you're for a house that is well maintained and stocked with kitchen supplies then you found it. The pictures of this house do not do it justice. It was very clean and well cared for. There is plenty of space for everyone and ocean views out of almost every window. This house sits alone which provides an almost private beach experience. - Kenneth M Posted on 8/17/2025 ### Amazing Home (5/5 stars) This home is amazing and was perfect for our family! From the furniture inside to the outside has plenty of room for all to sit. The beds slept great and kitchen had everything we needed. Not to mention the view of the ocean was absolutely beautiful. Also, it was so easy to checkin and checkout. We will definitely be back to stay at this home! - Henry E Posted on 8/2/2025 ### Memorial Day Weekend 2025 (5/5 stars) Convenient location with everything you need. - Jeffery C Posted on 6/25/2025 ### GREAT ESCAPE (5/5 stars) This house was amazing for my family and pet. We enjoyed waking up to the ocean waves and birds chirping.(AWESOME FRONT WINDOW) I promised my father whose wish was to wake up at an oceanfront setting where as soon as he opened a door his he would see the sea and the sand. (wish come true!!) He enjoyed every part of this home. Property was clean, updated, and close to everything. The Jacuzzi was great for the evening of relaxing and overall a great vacation!! Thank you for the memories. - Theresa J Posted on 3/28/2019 ### Oh... I'm goin back to this place! (5/5 stars) The place is exactly as pictured. the decor and amenities are exactly as shown. There is no surprises of the bad kind at all. we spent a week here with extended family and our 2 dogs. Loved the beach, loved the house, loved the town! Spent hours on the deck soaking in the sound of the surf, even after spending all day on the beach. Yea, I would recommend because I most definitely will be back. - Jeff B Posted on 6/14/2018 ### Livin On The Edge (4/5 stars) This is a really cute updated home. I would have scored it higher but no one would sleep in the downstairs bedroom because the spiral staircase was treacherous. To do laundry you also had to go down that staircase. So many cute updates in this unique home. We got our excercise climbing stairs but we would rent again. That living room window view is amazing! - Kimberly C Posted on 7/26/2017
