    Seaside Heights

    Ever Heard of a Dune Deck? Us either. But this place has one and we're here for it! With hammocks, umbrellas, and beach chairs, it seems like you get the beach effect, but a little further from the water. Not your thing? Keep walking down your private walkway and there is the actual beach. This home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms spread across 3 floors. It's absolutely beautiful!
