Semi-Oceanfront Ground Level Apt🌊 Basic, Beachside Living⛱Private Access Road

This is a BASIC, older apartment - nothing fancy - on the ground floor (below sea level).

A good place to unwind after a day at the beach, fishing, or other outdoor activities. It is listed with a max occupancy of 2 people, but families with up to 2 children can be accommodated on a case by case basis if providing own bedding and with advance permission.
