If you want a shore home that is not like everyone else’s, look no further. This is truly a one of a kind summer retreat - located just 7 houses from the Delaware Bay. Everything is different about this property. There’s a main cottage plus a guest cottage that is connected by an elevated boardwalk. The main cottage is set back high in the dunes elevated to capture the comfortable bay breezes. The property stretches 140 ft wide - giving you plenty of space between your neighbors. Shade trees and perennial flowers are sprinkled throughout the property. Outdoor living space includes a large screened-in porch with ceiling fans. Inside you’ll find an open living area with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beam. The "moon gate" bedroom doorway is another one of a kind feature found in this home. There’s an eat-in kitchen with a large round window positioned for viewing scenic wildlife while having a bite to eat. The guest cottage has sleeping quarters and a private bath.
