Enjoy panoramic water views, dual beach access, and a peaceful coastal setting adjacent to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. The property includes a 1,817 SF main residence plus a fully renovated 686 SF vacation-rental condo, offering an outstanding opportunity for personal use, extended family, or income generation. The main residence blends classic Cape Cod charm with modern refinement. Original hardwood floors, curated finishes, new landscaping, new decking, and a new carport complement thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces perfect for sunrise coffee and sunset reflection. The home's character and coastal setting create a warm, inviting retreat with exceptional water views. The separate 686 SF condo was completely renovated in 2023 and is being sold fully furnished and turnkey. Features include updated bathrooms, new hot water heaters, new A/C (2025–26), washer/dryer, and a game room. The condo is an established, high-performing Airbnb with a 4.98-star rating from 112 reviews and Guest Favorite designation, placing it among the top 1% nationally. The rental generates approximately $30,000 annually and has produced more than $92,000 in gross rental revenue from 2024–2026. Guests consistently highlight the property's cleanliness, comfort, quiet beach, and family-friendly setting. Recent improvements include new ASCEND composite siding (2025) with a transferable lifetime warranty, an EcoPod advanced septic system (blower replaced in 2024), separate electric meters, and active flood insurance. Property is located in Flood Zone VE. No HOA. A rare opportunity to own a fully updated Delaware Bay beachfront property with immediate rental income potential, multiple living spaces, exceptional water views, and direct beach access.
