Properties

You can almost hear the steel drums playing at this Caribbean-style beach house with its waving palms. Nestled in the popular gated community of Caribe West, it is located south of Highway 98 and is exceptionally close to the beach. Set behind a fenced and landscaped yard, this custom-built home has a covered front porch with three sets of doors opening directly onto it. The open living space has plantation shutters, crown molding and tall column features. It's brimming with natural light. Cool tile floors provide a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining room and sitting area, which features a 'living flame' gas fireplace. The fresh white kitchen centers on the island with a glass stovetop and extractor above — a double farmhouse sink and stainless appliances round off this

Supplements: well-appointed space. Marbled countertops extend onto a peninsula breakfast bar to serve tasty snacks. Head upstairs to a divided landing where gleaming wood flooring leads into each spacious bedroom. The sleek master bedroom boasts balcony access, and the adjoining bathroom has a twin vanity, shiplap walls and a whirlpool tub for the ultimate lazy soak. The second floor also has a full-width covered porch for sipping coffee or tropical concoctions while catching the breeze. In the evening, head out onto the elevated rear deck. The shady arbor provides a delightful space for barbecues, relaxing and entertaining. This lovely beach home is just 100 yards from private access to the white sandy beach, making it ideal as a second home or investment. The paved driveway leads to a covered carport. Short-term rentals are permitted (minimum seven days), which preserves a sense of continuity. Two beautiful community pools, tennis courts and a pavilion are available for residents and guests to enjoy. With a newly replaced roof and tankless hot water system, this beach vacation home is move-in ready.
