Step into a custom, fully renovated, coastal-modern oasis in the Shipwatch Building, West Beach. You will feel like you are staying in a luxury hotel with all of the amenities of a villa. This fourth floor (top floor-elevator access) end unit provides total privacy. This unit is a corner unit with no ocean view. Enjoy, 3 balconies, one from each bedroom, and a larger balcony off the living room. The exterior and interior of the unit were completely redone in 2023, including new concrete porch floors, railing and all new interior design elements. The open kitchen and living room allows for easy entertaining and enjoying the ocean breeze through the two sliding doors that open onto porches. Custom cabinetry and all Viking appliances grace the gourmet kitchen with a large island for eating with a custom built-in banquette. The master suite has a lovely private porch for enjoying morning coffee. The elegant, attached bathroom has a large walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and a private toilet room. The secondary bedroom has another private porch, and a bathroom a few steps down the hallway with a beautiful tiled walk-in shower. Closets in both bedrooms are customized. The villa is in an oceanfront building that has a private boardwalk for the building guests, which is the gateway to the pristine beach in literally 150 steps.

Wonderful property for 2 couples vacationing together. Unit is located on 4th (top) floor and is a corner unit. Recently remodeled and very modern and nice, excellent location, good amenities. Good commutation with the property manager, who was very reasonable. Property was exactly as described. I’d highly recommend staying here again.
The instructions upon arrival to open the door was Not clear. Washing machine did Not offer a Cold water option, it was always Hot. All the balconies had a Parking Lot View. The one side had a Very Small View of ocean.
We had a lovely stay for a few days after the Christmas holiday. The property was perfect, well stocked kitchen, all the necessities, comfortable beds, clean, great location. We would stay here again and would recommend!
This property is absolutely beautiful - exactly as pictured online. The building is very quiet and peaceful, and right on the beach. Location is perfect for enjoying the beach and shady bike paths while also being very close to the grocery store and other shops. We hope to return on future trips!
