Three large bedrooms right on the beach

Nice, and large house (with three large bedrooms facing the ocean)... and it is well located... and it is right on the ocean; but it is a little dated and needs minor touchups (hurricane shutters not secured in their track). Upper level sun deck with a lower deck that is shaded.
