To spend a day by the ocean, head to the nearest beach access which is just 10 minutes away. Inside, you'll love the open-style floorplan of the ground-level, which makes the cottage feel open and spacious. A large built-in entertainment center acts as a focal wall with coastal décor, a TV (w/ Dolby Surround Sound Home Theater System), and a cozy fireplace (seasonal). Lounge around on the sofa that pulls out to a bed for extra sleeping space. The fully functional eat-in kitchen boasts granite countertops, a Keurig, and provides everything you need to whip up a masterpiece. The kitchen island offers bar seating for three.
