Welcome to this BOATER'S PARADISE on the Slaughter Beach Inlet. Options on the inlet in Slaughter Beach rarely become available as these few properties offer the ability to own and privately dock a large boat. The depths on the Inlet allow for more flexibility than most areas here at the Delaware beaches. This home offers 4 bedrooms, a completely renovated living space and kitchen, with some of the best views at the beach. Living on the ocean or bay offers a nice lifestyle but living on the Inlet here offers access to explore the waterways. Whereas the sand and waves are never changing , the boater's life is a true adventure. This home would make an excellent second home for those needing more salt air or this home can be an excellent short term rental. The investment upside for a property like this is icing on the cake as you secure a beach and boater's lifestyle while procuring a slice of the ever so scarce waterfront properties...
