Some beach houses give you a place to sleep near the water. Bay Breeze Retreat gives you somewhere to actually arrive.

Just steps from the Atlantic in Surf City, this three-story home was designed with a rare level of intention — touches that make the whole house feel curated rather than generic, a private saltwater pool and hot tub for the days you'd rather not leave the backyard, an outdoor gas grill and a fire pit for the evenings that call for cooking under the stars, and a gourmet kitchen with a walk-in pantry that's ready for everything from morning pancakes to a proper seafood dinner.
