If Frodo Baggins ever decides to buy a vacation beach house, have we got the place for him.
Built in 1975 by renowned architect William Morgan, this unique home is actually built into an oceanfront sand dune. If you don't mind the added home maintenance of mowing your roof, you can own two cozy duplexes, each with one bedroom and one bathroom. In the back of each unit, a large window provides a spectacular view of the beach.
