A quintessential coastal hideaway awaits at this three-bedroom home in Sunset Beach, where you'll be just around the corner from the beach itself, the pretty Atlantic Ocean, and the town fishing pier.

With the beach only a quarter-mile down the road, this cheerful home is a place to spend your days swimming, body boarding, fishing, and collecting seashells on the sand. A number of eateries, cafes, stores, and amenities are just across the Intracoastal Waterway less than a mile north.

Stroll home from the beach in the afternoon to be greeted by sunny yellow shutters, a shaded patio beneath the home, and a pretty back deck where you can soak up a bit more sun, play cards, or gather for an alfresco meal in the shade of the umbrella. The adjacent screened porch is a ideal spot for morning coffee, afternoon crossword puzzles, and beverages at sunset.

Inside, find a centrally air-conditioned living space with lofty ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and the colors of the beach running throughout. This is a natural gathering space whether you're cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, sharing appetizers at the breakfast bar and high-top dining table, or watching after-dinner movies on Netflix, cable, or the DVD player in the living room. Additional features include three colorful bedrooms and complimentary WiFi throughout the home.
