"Catch A Wave", ONLY 2 Blocks to the BEACH!! A Family Favorite! *** Not Pet Friendly

Great location to many island activities, restaurants and attractions.

This wonderful home has updates throughout and a fun coastal theme. Located only 2 blocks to the beach and Seawall, you can walk to the beach for endless hours of fun in the sun! Free on-street parking so no need to hassle with Seawall parking!

The multiple decks offer great Gulf breezes and a cozy space for morning coffee or soaking up some sun. Enjoy the upstairs sundeck from the master or by exterior stairs.

Please note the layout of the rooms upstairs; access to the master is through the twin bedroom, however, there is an exterior door to the sundeck.
