Map & Owner's Profile
Stunning Lakefront Penthouse Villas Condo -Nmb's Best
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Ocean Keyes
All the community amenities and only a five minute walk to the beach helped make our decision to own in Ocean Keyes an easy one. And within Ocean Keyes, our building has the best views from any floor - but being on the top floor the views are spectacular as you can see from the pictures provided.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium Villa
We enjoy walking on the beach and picking up shells -- especially since the beach access at 6th Ave. N. is in the middle of the longest stretch in NMB without highrise development. We also enjoy the pools and exercise room in the community only a few steps away from our building's elevators. Golf Courses are everywhere in the NMB area. There is professional entertainment of all types; amusement parks, etc. for the kids; and, there are hundreds of restaurants nearby as well.
Owner's Map of Ocean Keyes
We are midwesterners transplanted to the Virginia suburbs of Washingtion DC where we raised our family. Together with my sister-in-law, we have, for some time, wanted to own a nice property in a family friendly environment near the water. Our penthouse villa condo in Ocean Keyes fits the bill nicely. (NOTE OCEAN KEYES IS ON THE FORMER GATOR HOLE COURSE -see Building 39 on site plan, please ask us for the link.
