Beachfront Investment Opportunity | Airbnb-Friendly | Sea Views | Summerstrand
Positioned right on the Summerstrand beachfront, 38 Marine Drive is a two-bedroom apartment purpose-built for the investor who wants returns without compromise. The complex sits directly adjacent to the beachfront promenade, and the ocean views from the enclosed glazed balcony are immediate and unobstructed — the kind that drive booking decisions on short-term rental platforms.
The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen layout is well-proportioned and functional. Large sliding doors flood the main living area with natural light and frame the sea beyond. The enclosed balcony features a built-in granite bench top, storage cabinetry, and a dining setup — an extension of the living space that guests gravitate toward. The kitchen is fitted with bold red gloss cabinetry, a granite-effect countertop, and a breakfast bar island, giving the space a distinctive, photogenic character that photographs well for listings.
Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, with laminate timber flooring and moderate natural light. The main bedroom`s en-suit includes a stand alone shower, a vessel basin on a vanity unit and toilet. The general bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower, a vessel basin on a vanity unit, and full-height white wall tiles with a red mosaic border detail — well-maintained and consistent with the broader finish quality throughout.
The complex offers a curved communal swimming pool set within paved and landscaped grounds, an in-building laundry room, and 24/7 manned security — features that support strong occupancy rates and guest satisfaction scores.
