Located within the gated, exclusive oceanfront community of Dolphin Ridge off Coast Guard Road, 9813 Sandy Court is a rare and remarkable coastal retreat offering an impressive 5,282 heated square feet between the main residence (3,362 HSF) and an attached spacious guest house (1,920 HSF). With 4 bedrooms, 6 baths, and multiple flex spaces, this property delivers the ideal blend of luxury, comfort, privacy, and versatility. Extensively updated, the home showcases new windows, doors, siding, metal roof, decking, beach walkway, lighting, fixtures, and fresh interior and exterior paint, along with select flooring upgrades. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to preserve its timeless coastal charm while enhancing modern livability--making it truly move-in ready and offering exceptional potential for rental income. The possibilities are truly endless.

The spacious attached guest house also provides an ideal setup for extended family, guests, or a separate rental, allowing multiple households to enjoy the beach together while still maintaining their own private space. Whether envisioned as a multi-generational coastal retreat, an income-producing investment, or a combination of personal use and rental income, this property offers a level of flexibility rarely found in an oceanfront home. Perfectly positioned along the shoreline, this home offers stunning oceanfront views and direct beach access just steps away. Expansive outdoor living areas create the perfect backdrop for sunrise coffee, sun-soaked afternoons, and breezy coastal evenings. After a day on the sand, enjoy the convenience of covered under-house parking and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, ideal for owners and guests alike. Inside, a light-filled, open layout invites effortless entertaining and relaxed coastal living. Generous gathering spaces and flexible rooms provide endless possibilities--whether hosting large groups, accommodating extended stays, creating a private space for guests, or enjoying the ultimate second-home escape.
