“The Erin” a nautical condo with beach & pond view

"So hoist up the John B's sail," but you won't ever want to go home, not after you step into this one-of-a-kind, 1-bedroom (2nd floor) condo (perfect for 2) with whimsical nautical décor and fireplace! "Erin" is Irish for "peace" and that's what you'll get here, along with all the comforts of home, yet you'll feel like you've sailed away from it all! The stunning views of Whitecap Beach you'll see from the balcony ~ the sand & sea, dunes and saltwater pond, the sunsets ~ are just the beginning!
