It is rare to find a beachfront unit at this price that offers both a "designer" feel and total peace of mind. This ground-floor home stayed bone-dry during the recent storms—not a single drop of water made its way inside—which is a huge testament to the unit's placement.

You are less than 100 feet from the sand and the brand-new pool deck, making the beach feel like an extension of your living room. Because the building is right next door to the Lido Beach Resort, you can wander over for a sunset dinner or a casual lunch and truly feel like you’re living the resort life every day. Note: Unit is being sold mostly furnished. See the attached exclusion list for specific items not included. For those who love being outside, you’re in the heart of it all.
