About this property
The Original Turtle's Nest- Classic 1950's Oceanfront 5br Cottage in Surf City
This classic 1950’s cottage offers two levels with interior and exterior stairs for your family’s convenience. The main level upstairs welcomes you with the warm wood tones of the knotty pine walls and the charm of yesteryear, with splashes of coastal color. Sink your toes into the new plush carpet and 2 comfy couches. Ocean views and sounds can be enjoyed from the LR and DR as well as both oceanfront bedrooms,(K & Q); the 3rd. a twin bedroom has a partial view. The ground level apartment offers extra space. Tile floor with a seating and small dining area as well as a second kitchen, two bedrooms and game room, make this level ideal for additional family or young adults in your group. The ocean front covered porch is just the spot for taking in the salt air breezes, outside dining, or reading your book. While the large open deck is the best place for soaking up the sun’s rays and enjoying the view of the beach from the rocking chairs. All the charm of the 1950’s and an easy 6 block, 1/2 mile walk on the beach or street, to the heart of Surf City Town and all it has to offer!
