This community also offers two shuffleboard courts, boat slips (LIFTS ARE ALLOWED), kayak/paddle board storage and launches, three convenient beach access points directly across from the community plus biking and walking paths that meander through 26 acres of professionally landscaped bay front grounds. As though this isn’t enough for a great island lifestyle, this condo includes a private and secure ground-level storage room for bikes and beach gear, along with a deeded under-building covered parking spot and ample guest parking.
