2nd Row with Awesome Views and Great Fishing! Easy Beach Access-
Gated Decks for Your Small Children/Pets. Abby Sands Castle Beach Cabin is a second row home with beachfront views in Caplen with great surf fishing! Caplen beach is the best beach area for shark’s teeth and sand dollar hunting along with a fishermen’s paradise for catching the perfect redfish! A very quiet end of the beach for families with small children, fishing or couple’s romantic weekend away from the crowds. Walk around decks on both levels with two large decks (covered and uncovered areas) to relax and enjoy the unobstructed views of the beach and the bay! Both levels are gated to keep your small pets and children safe. This bright and contemporary vacation home is the perfect place for friends and family to enjoy a relaxing trip together. Featuring comfortable, colorful, and tropical furnishings, the living space features comfortable seating and an open floor plan to the kitchen and dining room which makes socializing easy - plus it means the chef won't miss any of the fun! Includes satellite TV and secure WIFI. When you are ready for some time outdoors, take advantage of the miles of beaches right outside your door – walking, by car or golf cart (rentals available on peninsula). Slab (ground) level includes an enclosed hot/cold sand shower, fish sink, picnic table and a large permanent charcoal grill!
