The aptly-named "Beach House" is a prime example of the cute-island-cottage so many people seek. Located on Useppa Island's eastern beach shoreline, it sits at the water's edge and features big water views to the east with daily sunrise performances. Lovers of watersports will have a deep appreciation for this home, as it has direct access to Useppa's beach shoreline, with the ability to easily store kayaks, sailboats and paddleboards underneath the living space. Its outdoor space is consistently impressive all around, with a collection of porches and decks which possess attractive qualities and two exterior stairwells direct to the beach. Dockage is also solved, because a slip with boatlift at a nearby shared dock within sight of the home is included. Needless to say, this home meets many of the most common expectations & goals shoppers target on Useppa Island and provides a wealth of comfort with views which never grow old.
The Beach House is situated near the Useppa Marina on the island's historic Pink Promenade pathway amid tropical landscaping and shady palms. Upon entry, the water views are in full view through a series of stackable sliding doors which separate the living space from a beautifully renovated porch. The porch features remote-controlled roll-down screens which allows for versatility in deciding if you want screens or not, depending on the season and weather. An additional layer of porch protection exists in form of remote-controlled impact-rated shutters, allowing for security and storm protection while away. Within the living room is a wood-burning fireplace, high ceilings and a dining area, all of which have full focus of the water. Astride the living room lies a spacious kitchen with new appliances and freshly re-finished cabinetry. Through the living room and just past the fireplace you'll find the Master and one of two guest bedrooms. The Master has expansive water views and direct access to the living room porch and its stairway to the beach. The third guest bedroom is independently located and accessed just north of the front door. It contains an en-suite bathroom and direct access to the northernmost exterior deck. From the deck and down a spiral staircase, you're on the beach and within steps of the water.
Below the living quarters is a large, covered storage area with plenty of headroom and space for a multitude of water-toys, as well as an insulated & airconditioned workshop. Kayaks and sailboats are easily launched and then later stored out of sight through lattice gates just off the water. The entire home is shrouded with impact rated doors & windows, the metal roof was replaced in 2023 and a 22kw generator with 400gal of propane storage was just installed. This home did quite well in Hurricane Ian and the Seller has been performing the necessary repairs to not only restore it to pre-storm condition, but improve it beyond. There are still more improvements and repairs to be made which have been contracted and are awaiting execution. The asking price is based on all contracted work being completed, and the home is being sold turn-key, with a golf cart, 3 kayaks, a paddleboard and more. The qualities and features of the Beach House are vast, and they're highlighted in a detailed list provided within the photo gallery.
