3110 Atlantic Avenue #205, Wildwood, NJ 08260

Peacefully positioned a few short blocks from the beach & boardwalk in Wildwood this one-bedroom unit at Beach Holiday Condominiums was designed for summer fun and convenience. Come into town Friday night, drop the bags, and you're already close enough to walk to the boardwalk and catch the fireworks.

Everything sits on one floor, four rooms total, so nothing about the layout works against you. Tile runs throughout the main living areas and the kitchen has been updated with stainless appliances and a subway tile backsplash. Heat pump heat and central air keep it comfortable, and city water, sewer, and electric hot water mean simple utilities for a condo this close to the beach.

Two full bathrooms is almost unheard of and under appreciated. Beach Holiday Condominium sits on the island in Wildwood, an easy two blocks from the beach. The building was recently stuccoed and repainted, and the barbecue area got a full rebuild. You have assigned parking, a large sundeck or and an outside shower for rinsing off after the beach.

Step down to the pool when you want water without the walk, or head to the ocean when you want the real thing. The HOA here runs on solid financial footing, which matters more than people think until they own somewhere that doesn't. A furnished, single-level unit this close to the beach, with a recently redone building and a pool on site, doesn't sit on the market long at this size.

If you want a low-maintenance foothold on the island, ready to use this season without a punch list, this is one of the few that actually is.
