If you're looking for a fantastic beach experience then my Clown Fish Cottage is where you want to be!!! It's a fun, brightly colored, roomy, first floor space with ocean views. There are a bunch of windows which bring in lots of light showing off our nautical decorated theme. It's a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a separate built-in bunk bed which is so much fun and brings out the kid in all of us. Guess what? The Clown Fish Cottage is pet friendly too. Wow isn't that exciting!!! Since this space is on the first floor there is just 1 step into the space. There is a covered patio outside the full length of the house for storing all your beach gear and toys and in the front there is a screened in porch with another dining table, porch swing & chairs for lounging. In our master bedroom you'll be sleeping on a wonderful king size bed. Each of our bunk beds are comfortable twin size adult mattresses. The space sleeps 4 people. We have a smart TV in the living room and a smaller smart TV in the bedroom. Although we don't offer cable television we do have internet & wifi so you can stream all your favorite programs from your apps such as Amazon, Hulu, Netflix and more. There is limited live TV from our Roku TV but plenty of free movies and shows if you don't have any apps. Staying here you won't need a golf cart to get to the beach because it's such a short walk. You can even see the ocean from the living room and the screened in front porch. Right across the street is a boardwalk leading down to the beach making it easy to pull your beach toys in our provided beach cart. You're also close to the area restaurants and there's a grocery store within a 1/2 mile from the house Do you like sitting outside, looking at the ocean, feeling the ocean breezes? Then you’ll love the Clown Fish Cottage screened in front porch. We have a huge comfortable porch swing, chairs and even an outdoor dining table to enjoy sipping your morning coffee, lunch & dinner. Our neighborhood is quiet too. Lots of full-time residents and second home vacation properties. There are no apartments, beach condos or high-rise beach hotels blocking the view either.
