This charming coastal cottage offers the perfect blend of relaxed shore living and modern convenience. Whether you're looking for a peaceful year-round residence or a stylish weekend escape, this 2-bedroom home delivers. Inside, the heart of the home is an updated kitchen featuring sleek granite counters and stainless-steel appliances--perfect for whipping up a post-beach dinner. But the real magic happens outdoors.
