About this home
Oceanfront, fully furnished, and income-ready - this Shipwatch Villas condo is positioned to deliver from day one. Wake up to uninterrupted Atlantic views and the sound of rolling waves in this beautifully positioned oceanfront 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom condo designed for effortless coastal living. The open-concept layout is framed by expansive windows that draw in coastal light throughout the day, creating a bright and calming living space that flows seamlessly leading to a private balcony where ocean views take center stage. From sunrise coffee to evening unwind sessions, the outdoor space becomes an extension of the home - offering a front-row seat to the shoreline just beyond the dunes. The kitchen features butcher block countertops (sealed April 2026), along with a full appliance package including a range replaced in 2025. Positioned as a first-floor unit, convenience meets functionality without sacrificing the oceanfront setting. What sets this unit apart is the level of care and key system improvements already in place. Recent updates include a water heater (2023), HVAC system (2025), and a Category 5-rated sliding glass door installed in March 2025 - an important feature for coastal durability and long-term confidence. Enjoy low-maintenance coastal living with HOA amenities and services that cover nearly everything - including beach access, a community pool, picnic area, water, sewer, trash service, master and flood insurance, roof maintenance and elevators, plus beautifully maintained grounds and common areas.
