Beachfront 1st Floor Condo w/ Kitchen•Pool•Private Beach Access•Pet-Friendly

Close to Shops and Restaurants with an UNMATCHED BEACHFRONT LOCATION!!

Tucked within a tranquil Oceanfront Community with Private Beach Access, this cozy Coastal Studio is simple, relaxing, and perfect for soaking up the sun on a more secluded stretch of sand.

Shelling, cruising the coastal bike path, sunset strolls, and unwinding by the pool — it’s all part of the experience.

For a closer look, watch our YouTube video titled Ocean Sands presented by Sun, Surf & Sand Vacation Rentals.

[THE SPACE]
This 300 sq. ft. studio is best suited for 2 adults and can comfortably accommodate up to 3 adults.

Family Getaway

Property was as described. We enjoyed our stay, but could hear neighbors above walking heavily. Great place for a short getaway and access to beach was easy. Place was clean, an older facility, though updated. Pool was nice and refreshing after the beach and location ideal for groceries, food, and some entertainment. We would rent again.

Just me and the wife

Amazing place to stay as always. Such a great location and quite. If I had to complain about anything was people parking there to use the beach. Seen many times people leaving the beach and getting to there cars and leaving. Maybe they were special ones, I don’t know. Wish the futon couch was a little more comfortable to lounge around when watching tv. This is being to picky! The place was great and we will be back. This is our go to spot. Been here many times! Love it!

Cozy

The place was a bit cozy, but as expected in description does specify 300 SF. Still good place just the 2 of us for a few days to enjoy the ocean and a last minute reservation that was available for the dates we were planning. Only a short walk across the grass to the private gazebo and dunes to get to the sand and ocean.

Good location, Room not so much

The room was the size of a broom closet. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. It was so hot in there it was unreal. The location was great pool was great but they could definitely upgrade the room especially for what they charge per night for it . Worst stay in a long time

Place was clean, exactly like the photos, not modern/updated, slightly “run down” but clean.

Loved the speedy, booking and check in, very fast response with owner for any and all questions. Instructions were very detailed and easy to understand. Would probably stay again.

Pretty Good

This was a nice, little apartment for our stay. The owners were quick to reply, it was a great price, and it was right on the beach. The complex as a whole is a little outdated and the actual room could use some fresh coats of paint. The appliances were also quite noisey. So, this may not be for someone looking for something more modern or super quiet. As for the other tenants, literally no one parks in between the lines. This caused multiple spots being taken by one vehicle. We were instructed to park in front of our apartment, but were unable to because either other people did or because one car took up two parking spots. Overall, it was a good visit and we would stay again.
