Historic District

Upon entering “Sede della Sirena”, home of the mermaid, Lorelei, a 6-foot mermaid, welcomes visitors. This Italianesque-designed home has an abundance of natural light and wonderful ocean views. Don’t miss the secret garden.

Ocean Park

The cook’s kitchen in this home is a “must see”, as it features two La Cornue ranges, hidden refrigerator and freezer and a separate caterer’s kitchen. Not surprisingly, the homeowner is a culinary school graduate.

Oceanfront

Step inside this spacious oceanfront home designed to be family-friendly, and enjoy all the amenities designed to ensure the comfort and privacy of guests. Even more amazing than the views from inside the home are those from the three levels of decking at the back. A putting green, joggling board and a boardwalk leading to the beach can be seen from the veranda.

Rhett’s Bluff

Take in the marsh views from this contemporary home with a red cedar and glass exterior. The best views are from the third level where there is a rooftop terrace with fire pit, cocktail bar and library-like glass wall connecting other spaces which house an office and additional bedroom suite.
