About this home
Situated in the oceanfront community of A Place at The Beach on Ocean Isle Beach, this fully furnished two-bedroom, two-full-bathroom ocean view condo presents an exceptional coastal opportunity in Brunswick County. Positioned between public access points, the location offers a noticeably more relaxed, uncrowded stretch of sand compared to neighboring complexes. A proven high-performing investment, the property consistently generates $40,000-plus in annual gross rental revenue with strong forward bookings. Unlike standard 1.5-bath configurations in the complex, this expanded interior layout features two full bathrooms - a strategic asset that optimizes guest comfort and provides a distinct advantage for rental potential. The refreshed interior space highlights a freshly painted primary suite, durable luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated kitchen appliances, and relaxed coastal styling throughout. Outdoors, the covered west-facing private deck features newly updated railings and provides total shade for midday dining, offering a comfortable, front-row seat overlooking the oceanfront pool. Unobstructed, panoramic sunset views extend across the water every evening. A fully funded HOA and healthy reserve funds offer buyers straightforward financing options and long-term financial stability. Community amenities include private beach access with an outdoor rinse station, outdoor grilling areas, dedicated parking, and laundry facilities. This turnkey residence sits minutes from the shops, golf courses, and dining of Ocean Isle Beach and the greater Wilmington-to-Myrtle Beach coastal corridor.
