''The Enchanted Mermaid'' - Turn-Key Beachside Duplex Just Steps from the Beach & Marina! Welcome to The Enchanted Mermaid, an exceptional, fully furnished coastal duplex that perfectly combines beachside living, modern updates, and outstanding income-producing potential.

The lower unit (2 bed / 1.5 baths) has operated successfully as a full-time vacation rental since the owners relocated last spring, and is offered fully furnished and rental-ready. It features an updated kitchen with stylish cabinetry, a gas range, refreshed bathrooms, a screened-in front deck, and a covered outside deck - perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or relaxing after a day in the sun. Whether your goal is to maximize rental income by continuing to lease both units, live in one while renting the other, accommodate extended family and guests, or enjoy the entire property as your own private beach retreat, this versatile duplex offers the flexibility today's buyers are looking for. The oversized 50' x 125' lot provides generous outdoor living space with a vinyl-fenced backyard ideal for entertaining, grilling, yard games, or pets.
