Feel like a holiday in a brand new home where the beach is just at the end of the road. Everything in this home is set to go for a perfect summer break. Fully fenced back garden to keep the little ones safe and the garage is a games room to keep the older one occupied away from the TV.
Perfect for a BBQ & entertaining whilst admiring the mountain views, & listening to the ocean waves roll in. This property has it all for a ladies weekend away or getaway with the family by the sea.
