2nd Floor Ocean View Condo•Private Beach Access•Pool•Kitchen•Pet-Friendly

Enjoy coastal living from this 2nd-story Ocean-View Studio, refreshed with a calming, beach-inspired design with subtle retro touches.

The Ocean is visible from the window, and Private Gazebo access leads to a quiet, secluded stretch of beach just steps away. Shelling, sandy strolls, sunset walks, and a scenic coastal bike path are all part of the experience!!

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

Just remember you are not paying for the room!You are paying for the convenience to the beach where it will be your tranquility. The front seat to the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises. If you rather, sit on the porch and feel protected from the elements while observing nature at it's best. The comfort of the room is where you will chill ! Place your head on your pillow to listen to the ocean serenade your most comfortable relaxed "get away" THIS IS THE PLACE

Long weekend

Place was very convenient to the beach and Atlantic Beach restaurants. Small but had everything I needed! Kitchen was well stocked for a couple or small family. It’s a little weird not having a bathroom sink, but the kitchen sink is directly outside the bathroom door and there is a mirror behind the sink so it didn’t feel too odd, and the full size shower was nice. Appreciated the beach chairs available and the cold ac! Only recommendation would be to make the door easier to lock, deadbolt is a bit off from the frame. Overall a great stay by the ocean!

Nice for a Short Beach Trip!

This is our third summer staying at this complex but our first summer in this specific building. I’d definitely say we preferred the blue building to this one, but it was still nice for our short visit. Love the private beach access and community pool. Room looked pretty similar to the listing. I saw all the complaints about the lack of sink in the bathroom but didn’t think it would be a big deal. We truly wouldn’t mind that much, but there was also virtually no counter space in the kitchen. With more counter space, the lack of sink in the bathroom would’ve been no issue. Bed was super comfy, and super appreciated the complimentary beach chairs! Kinda bummed the guest book was filled up, but that’s obviously not a big deal for booking. Unit could definitely use some updates, but overall nice value for the price we paid.

Our go to place

We love Ocean Sands. Did not like the newly remodeled building though. Not having a bathroom sink is just weird. Having to wash dishes in the same sink as you wash your hands after going to the toilet or brushing your teeth is weird to us, especially just to have an extra large shower...Had no issue being moved to a different room/building that jad a full bathroom. Property is always nice and clean. We've srayed here 2 years in a row and will continue to stay here on our trips. Property is always clean

Loved everything about it

LOVED the location and the room, and appreciated the ability to take our rescue dog. Room is very small but very well appointed, so it was like a hotel room with bonus accessories. Bed was comfortable and so was the futon. The complex property is immaculately cared for. We are old people who had trouble with our "smart" tv, and a technician was standing at the door about 10 minutes after I sent a text for help! He fixed us up in about 30 seconds. Highly recommend.
