Martyn is a 5-bedroom Ships Watch home only steps from the ocean, with a deck hot tub, upgraded kitchen, comfortable living and dining areas, and a downstairs game room with a foosball table. The bedding layout gives larger families room to spread out, with multiple queen bedrooms, a king primary, twin sleeping, and flexible space for up to 11 guests.
Martyn is a good fit for larger families who want to stay close to the beach, enjoy a private hot tub, use the game room, and still have access to the pool complex, soundfront pier, Duck shops, restaurants, and bike path.
For guests who want a simple rhythm, this home makes it easy: beach in the morning, pool or tennis in the afternoon, dinner in Duck, and sunset from the soundfront pier. Comfortable living, dining, kitchen, bedroom, and outdoor spaces help the home feel practical for a full vacation week.
Ships Watch makes the week feel easier with amenities between the ocean and the sound. Guests can use the beach access, pool areas, hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, playground, boat ramp, and soundfront pier.
