About This Home
PRICE REFRESHED! DEAL OF THE SUMMER! Welcome to "Castle in the Sands," a cherished oceanfront retreat situated on beautiful White Sand Beach. Lovingly maintained by the same family for generations, this two-story cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a property rich in history, tradition, and unforgettable memories. Each day begins with peaceful mornings on the patio, where breathtaking water views, gentle waves, and birdsong create the perfect backdrop for a cup of coffee.

An outdoor shower adds convenience after a day spent at the beach or on the water.
