This cottage is so close to the beach you can hear the waves crashing. Roughly 200 feet lie between it and the sand so it's a great spot for a new beach home: or, because it doesn't have to be elevated, save money and renovate the existing cottage. Ocean Beach Unit II is a private community with both ocean and bay beaches as well as a clubhouse with summer activities. Plenty of time to do work and be in by summer. This home is on owned land.
