About this property
50 Steps to Private Beach•Oceanside Community•1st Floor•Pool•Kitchen•BBQ Grills
Enjoy relaxed coastal living in this first-floor studio located in a peaceful oceanfront community.
Stroll past the private gazebo to a quiet stretch of beach just moments away. Shell hunting, sunset walks, and the scenic coastal bike path are 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.
The space can host up to 4 guests only if the group includes 2 adults and 2 small children. 4 adults would be too tight, so please consider the compact size when booking to ensure a comfortable stay.
☞This condo is located in an Oceanfront Complex, but the unit faces west toward the neighboring property, so the ocean CANNOT be seen from inside. Enjoy Panoramic Ocean Views from the community gazebos and wraparound decks with seating. You can also park right outside the unit for easy unloading and convenient access.
Traveling with a larger group?
We have multiple units within the same oceanfront complex, including side-by-side units—perfect for larger groups who want to stay close while enjoying extra space and privacy. Please inquire for availability and details.
