Be Warned: If you want to visit the beach this property is zoned for VERY little coast. It is NOT Rosemary like the listing states; it is Seacrest. There is not enough shoreline to support the development that attaches across the street and shuttles in guests like Grand Central Station. The home is zoned for Sunset Beach, which we found to be an absolutely crowded nightmare (think General Admission grass seating at a Dave Matthews concert with chairs from shore to stairs.) It’s not that way ANYWHERE else on the beach - we walked both directions 20+ minutes and NO other “private beach” had anywhere close to the amount of people they’re packing into this tiny space. Many other areas were desolate with maybe 20 visitors, where we easily had 1,000+. It was not relaxing or safe - there was no room for children to play and the only way to get decent seating was to show up at 6 am to mark your territory. And this was off season/October. Mostly it was sad and unnecessary as there was an abundance of empty shoreline in all zones outside of this one. What a shame these homeowners allowed this to happen. And what a shame it wasn’t disclosed that beach access was scarce - it absolutely ruined our trip to drive 7+ hours for the beach and find one not available. We ended up having to load up and drive to use public beaches, despite paying the price tag for private ones walking distance from a beach with no room.
Now we do want to share that the home was PERFECT. We can’t say anything but positive notes on the layout, the balconies, the outdoor space, natural light, cleanliness, etc. Excellent for a family of 4. If the homeowners ever rezone to sandy Shores (one street over) we would be back im a hurry! But as it stands we love the beach and this property doesn’t allow adequate access. Happy to share photos of the absurd crowds on the beach - it’s truly unbelievable.
