Just steps from the ocean, this charming cottage captures the essence of coastal living. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, it offers a relaxed beach lifestyle both inside and out. With an inverted floor plan, the open living spaces — including the great room, kitchen, powder room, screened porch, and sunny decks — are located on the upper level to take full advantage of the sea breeze and a peek of the ocean beyond. The inviting kitchen features granite countertops, a large breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances. The vaulted-ceiling great room is filled with natural light and opens through sliding glass doors to both a spacious screened porch and a large sun deck, perfect for gathering with family and friends. All four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are conveniently located on the first floor, providing a quiet retreat after a day in the sand and surf. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off after the beach a breeze, and the storage room provides plenty of space for chairs, umbrellas, and bikes. Lovingly cared for and offered tastefully furnished, this home is not currently in the rental market but does have a strong rental history. Located in the private, gated community of Ocean Village — known for its exceptionally wide dune and beach — this property sits on a peaceful, non-thru street just a short stroll from downtown Bethany. The opportunities are endless, as this beach retreat is ready to be enjoyed for years to come or while planning for a sizable new home in an exceptional location.
