This completely remodeled and tastefully furnished, 2,000 square foot, oceanfront, 10th floor condo has everything you need for a home-away-from home experience...PLUS MORE! Few homes are ocean-front property with absolutely breath-taking views (24/7) of the ocean AND the inter-coastal waterway.
There are very few condos in this area which offer breathtaking views of sunrises over the ocean AND spectacular sunsets over the Inter-coastal in the evening. This condo offers both (which is one of the reasons we bought it as our winter escape). Rarely will you find so much beauty, all day long! With the feel of walking into a new home, this condo has the added benefit of being on the quiet, "no-drive" beach.
The living room and master bedroom provide a 180 degree, breathtaking view of the beach, ocean and Sunglow Pier, as well as a spectacular view of the Intracoastal waterway and the ocean from the dining room and bedroom windows. Someone asked us our favorite place to go to "hang out and have cocktails." We had to answer "Pool-side while we grill our dinner...or on our back balcony, watching the sunset over the Halifax River!" Did you know that the sunset reflects a pink sky over the ocean as you face east? You rarely experience as much beauty as you will here...which is WHY we bought our "Home away from home!"...and why we LOVE to share it with like-minded guests!
We completely remodeled 1001 (which we have affectionately named "Cloud 10!") in 2016. If you have questions, please feel free to get in touch with the owners, Cheryl and John.
Walk out the front door of the building & play in the pool, walk the beach, lounge on the balcony patio while watching dolphins, surfers and the glistening waves...as well as pelican fly-bys!
Free WiFi, Smart TVs in every room, all the linen, dishes, toys, cookware, spices...and MORE...that you need are provided because this is our "home-away-from home." All we ask is that you enjoy your stay and treat the condo with the same TLC that we do!
The condo is a corner unit (the reason for its spectacular views), in an eleven story, secured, 75 unit building. It has private, secured and designated parking for one car. Additional outside parking spaces are available.
This unit rents Saturday to Saturday only except during September through January, and special events/weekends. For the comfort of all of our guests, PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED and this is a NON-SMOKING unit.
We also have a two-bedroom condo in this same building which also has been recently entirely remodeled. DO check out the reviews for that site [VRBO page 1045440] to get an even better feel for how we work with our renters/guests. We stay in both condos, depending on our family numbers...and we furnish them as if they are our home...because they ARE our retirement homes - our home-away-from home. We try to make every renter feel like they are our guests...because they are!
