The owner has access to use the room based on an allotted usage policy.) Located at 501 Beach Avenue, The Marquis de Lafayette complex overlooks the beach and features include a heated pool, a restaurant and the Barefoot Bar!

A 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit at Lighthouse Pointe Marina (5117 Shawcrest Road) sold for $145,000 as-is and with a laundry list of buyer’s responsibilities prior to closing and seller’s disclaimers.
