DESCRIPTION
Just steps from the shimmering warm waves of one of the East Coast’s most breathtaking beaches, this classic beach cottage invites you to leave your luggage behind and hit the sand in less than a minute. Perfectly positioned, the cottage offers the ultimate in coastal living, where sun-soaked days can be spent lounging on the beach, followed by romantic strolls down the shore beneath a canopy of stars.
For those who savor Southern flavors, the nearby restaurants of Surf City beckon, some just a short walk away, offering fresh seafood feasts to delight the senses. The charm of the cottage extends to its screened porch and spacious romantic front deck, where mornings start with the scent of fresh coffee and evenings wind down with sunset cocktails and al fresco dining—an experience to savor with every breeze that rolls in off the sea. The convenience of one-level living makes this cottage ideal for families of all ages, with no stairs to navigate and the beach access just across the street. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet retreat or creating lifelong memories, Sunshine Trio is a place for everyone. And don’t forget to bring Fido—the cottage is pet-friendly, so your four-legged companion can join in the fun.
Easy beach access right across the street!
