Three FSTV's with streaming capabilities, phone, DVD player, cd player and wireless internet access.

With a split floor plan featuring two bedrooms and a shared hall bath on either side of the open concept living area, this is an ideal beach home for two families to share and appreciate together.

The refreshed kitchen includes numerous new major kitchen appliances, Quartz countertops and backsplash and freshly painted cabinets with plenty of storage for your items. The rest of the home has also been newly updated throughout with new floor, washer/dryer, couches and comforters.

A cavernous enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water as well as a changing area make cleaning up after returning from the beach a breeze.

As an added additional, the spectacular walkway over the Davis Canal at 29th St is even closer than the beach and provides a marvelous opportunity to view the island’s wildlife, including foxes, herons and other shorebirds, deer and more.
