Beach living at its best! While beach views may be limited, this cozy coastal getaway is all about salt air therapy, affordability, and location -- just one block west of the beach with 2 convenient public beach accesses nearby and only a few blocks from Freeman Park access.

Completely updated and exceptionally maintained, this beautiful condo has been used only as a second home and has never been rented.
