Located across from the white sands of the Atlantic and just 30 steps from the heated community pool, this home blends relaxation, fun, and comfort in a stylish oceanside setting.

The architecture reflects a modern coastal aesthetic, with intentional design choices that enhance both comfort and oceanfront living. Whether you’re soaking in the private hot tub, playing in the arcade game room, or relaxing on one of the two-story decks, unforgettable memories are waiting to be made.
