Amazing Bay Views From a Corner Penthouse
This fourth-floor, three-bedroom condo offers expansive bay views and two balconies. It’s steps from the Rusty Rudder (and so close you can hear the music—so, this may not be your rental if quiet is a priority). It’s one of the largest condos in the Residences at Lighthouse Cove, which offers outdoor and indoor pools plus a fitness center, all just one block from the ocean.
