About this home

Beautifully Updated & Move-In Ready | Proven Turn-key Airbnb | 3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms | . 64-Acre Private Lot | No HOA | ADU Potential | Updates include - new Hardie Plank siding, fresh exterior paint, a new electrical panel, and more. * * INVESTMENT APPEAL - Successfully launched as Windy Woods Cottage in June 2026, generating strong early guest demand and consistent 5-star guest reviews. This beautifully furnished cottage is styled for comfort, connection and relaxation and is ready to enjoy from day one--as a primary residence, vacation escape, or turn-key short-term rental. * * A PRIVATE BACKYARD ESCAPE - Set on a generous . 64-acre homesite, featuring an expansive backyard shaded by mature pines, designed for entertaining, unwinding, and enjoying the coastal climate. Host dinner beneath the pergola, gather around the firepit or relax in the hammock. * * FURNISHED - Inside, warm coastal design - 3 comfortable bedrooms, 2 full baths, a cozy fireplace, and a bright dining area create an atmosphere equally suited for full-time living, weekend escapes, or guest stays. * * FLEXIBILITY, FUTURE EXPANSION - Bring your boat or RV--there is no HOA and no restrictions on recreational vehicle parking. For even more flexibility, the property is zoned to allow an accessory dwelling unit up to 1,200 square feet. * * LOCATION - Enjoy convenient access to beaches, local dining, entertainment, boat ramps, nature parks, downtown waterfront attractions, and year-round coastal recreation. * * WHATS NOT TO LOVE - Windy Woods Cottage is more than a beach-area home--it is a furnished retreat, a proven rental opportunity, and a private coastal escape designed for the way you want to live, host, and invest.
