The grassed front yard with its white picket fence is a terrific and safe place for the kids to play in the cubby while you relax on the porch. Bask in the northern sunlight as you sit back and listen to the waves lapping at Shoal Bay. The covered rear deck offers an amazing alfresco entertaining space to host family and friends, with a 4-burner hooded BBQ, outdoor dining setting and retractable shade blinds. There is even a handy second toilet located off the deck and a hot and cold outdoor shower to rinse off the sand after a day at the beach.
