Shark Shack - Dog Friendly! Quiet Neighborhood with easy beach access!
Set in and among the island oaks of the Island Oaks community, this lovely 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is just a short walk to the easy beach access or to the community gazebo, boat day dock and ramp on the sound. There is plenty of space for your family here, especially with 4 large decks! Located on a quiet cul-de-sac down an oak lined drive, you can take your pick of spending the day on the beach or spending the day on your boat in the sound.
The popular reverse floorplan puts all the living and dining spaces on the second floor, which maximizes the views of both the sound and the ocean, as well as the greenery of the live oaks surrounding the property. The open floorplan includes a large comfortable living room, a dining area that seats 6, with room for 4 more at the kitchen counter. The spacious modern kitchen has an extra-large breakfast bar with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Sliders open up to large sun decks on each side of the home for both sun rise, and sun set views.

shark shack
Shark Shack was well described and photographed in the listing. It had everything we needed to cook in a beautiful kitchen and living space. The mattresses in all the rooms were great and the rooms, the beds, were clean. The laundry washer and dryer were fantastic. Unfortunately, the upstairs HVAC system went out on Sunday in the upstairs living eating area. Ward Realty did get a 10000 btu free standing ac/dehumidifying unit for us and two floor fans. They called in the HVAC people. Unfortunately, the repair could not be done during our stay and the heat was a bit more than the free standing unit could handle. We know this was out of the control of Ward Realty but this really hampered our trip in that we have food allergies that are not well accommodated by restaurants in the area. We had to eat out at night because the upstairs was too hot to cook and eat in, we spent our evenings in the bedrooms downstairs. Fortunately, the queen room and full rooms had tv's, we did our best to make the best of it. Denise in Sales, Kim in Maintenance, Joe in Maintenance, and Therese in Property Management did their best.

We loved this house, being at the end of a culdesac with ocean and water way views, and a quick, safe walk to the public access. Kitchen was stocked with utensils, and pots and pans, but hasn't accumulated spices from previous guests yet! beds/pillows were great.
