Boasting over 2,400 square feet of living space, there is plenty of room for your whole family to maneuver comfortably. When you're ready to hit the beach, the Bismark Dr. beach access is just 0.2 miles (a short 3-minute walk) away. Pull up to this gorgeous Corolla cottage and enjoy plenty of parking in the driveway for all your vehicles. Begin your relaxation by taking an afternoon nap in the hammock beneath the home. Out back, a large fenced-in pool deck area features an inviting private pool and plenty of chairs and pool loungers to make tanning poolside a breeze. After a long day on the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading inside. The first floor also includes a washer/dryer and leads you to the 2nd floor through a short staircase.
