Description Description

Spend your vacation in this simply perfect oceanfront home. Fancy Free is just what you need in just the right location for a great beach trip. Come make lasting family memories right by the ocean and less than half a mile from Surf City's center- where shopping, great food, and of course ice cream awaits.

Step inside to the open living room where the family can gather in front of the flat screen TV for movie night or to play games. With the comfortable furnishings and having the ocean still right out the window, rest and relaxation are easy to come by here. Join your family for dinner at the large dining table just inside while still gazing over that great view. The kitchen, with eat-in bar, is right behind the dining area. It has all the basic necessities you need to make cooking a breeze. The oceanfront covered porch just may be where you start and end every day, coffee and a sunrise or dinner and sunset. Making memories and relaxing has never been easier!

What a wonderful house. This was our second year there and we will be back next year. We entertained relatives from Idaho again this year and they loved it. Thanks to Ward Realty and the homeowners.
