Located in the beachside neighborhood of Holiday Beach, this property has drive-on, in-neighborhood beach access. As you enter the property, you're greeted by a tiki bar where you can enjoy a drink and hear the Gulf. As you continue, you'll find a firepit, sand shower, game room, and plenty of storage space for beach toys. Inside, the SPACIOUS open concept kitchen and living areas have access to two decks, one facing west from which you can sun all day and take in sunsets at dusk and the other facing east to enjoy the permanent view of the Gulf down Gulf Rd. Back inside, the primary suite features a wood paneled trey ceiling and enough additional space for a sitting area or desk. Upstairs, there are two additional bedrooms - one of which is large enough for a king bed and the other a very large bunk room. A guest suite located on the ground floor is where the fourth bedroom and game room are located. Schedule a showing today to see for yourself!
