Enjoy cooking at the rotisserie BBQ while taking in uninterrupted views of the beach and ocean. Multiple seating areas on the balconies, patio, and sunroom offer perfect spots to relax and admire the beautiful beach scenery throughout the day. A direct beach view, along with a public sand court located directly out front and easily accessible, further enhances the outdoor experience.
The home includes air conditioning via mini-split systems, central heating, a washer and dryer, smart TVs in both bedrooms and the kitchen, and a private one-car garage. Guests will also find premium beach gear, a handheld steamer, and everything needed for a comfortable extended stay.

The Nautilus is a private residence with its own separate entry and interior living space.
