Catch A Wave! 2 Blocks to the Beach! Two-Story, With Porch!
"Catch A Wave", ONLY 2 Blocks to the BEACH!! A Family Favorite! *** Not Pet Friendly
Great location to many island activities, restaurants and attractions.
This wonderful home has updates throughout and a fun coastal theme. Located only 2 blocks to the beach and Seawall, you can walk to the beach for endless hours of fun in the sun! Free on-street parking so no need to hassle with Seawall parking!
The multiple decks offer great Gulf breezes and a cozy space for morning coffee or soaking up some sun. Enjoy the upstairs sundeck from the master or by exterior stairs. Catch a Wave is over 100 years old and includes unique features like a claw-foot tub, beautiful old sleigh bed, and gorgeous hardwood floors.
This two-story home sleeps 6 with sleeping for two in the downstairs living room with a queen sleeper sofa. There are two bedrooms located upstairs, creating more privacy. The first bedroom includes a twin with trundle bed and the second/master bedroom features a queen bed. Please note the layout of the rooms upstairs; access to the master is through the twin bedroom, however, there is an exterior door to the sundeck.
On-street parking available at a maximum of two cars, however, parking is enforced with parking permits which we provide for your convenience.
