Welcome to a truly special oceanfront escape—designed by an architect to feel like you’re tucked into a coastal treehouse, surrounded by nature and the sound of the ocean.
Set on over an acre of private oceanfront property, this home offers a rare sense of space, privacy, and calm. Mature trees frame the home, creating a magical setting where you feel worlds away, yet steps from the beach via your private walkway.
Originally built and cherished as a private family retreat, this home carries decades of memories—and now offers guests the opportunity to experience that same warmth, charm, and connection to the coast.
This is the kind of place families return to year after year—the kind of home where mornings start with coffee on the deck and end with sandy feet and sunset dinners..
