We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in our 1st floor oceanfront studio in building B(blue). The studio is small, but was fine for my wife and I. Very comfortable and quiet. The location is great. The Ocean Sands property is smaller, just two stories, than surrounding properties. This makes the beach much less crowded. The view from the porch is a lush lawn and the dunes covered in vegetation. Very pretty and relaxing. The steps and walkway up and through the gazebo and to the beach is close and short. The gazebo is large and offers a fantastic view up and down the beach. All and all we were extremely happy with our visit and will be back. By the way VRBO is excellent. Easy self checkin and checkout.

Excellent location! This unit is first floor (despite what check-in directions say) and “oceanfront” (but really dunes front because you can’t see the water), but less than a minute walk to the sand. The apartment was small, but super efficient, very clean and instructions for checking in and out were very clear. The ceiling fan over the bed rattles & seems very loose when turned up past level 1, so definitely kept that low & slow while we were sleeping. The futon in the living room area was plush & comfortable to sit on. Not a lot of privacy, but that was expected as all the outside spaces were shared. I did like the glass front door, so you could see out; just be mindful of all the folks walking by. Because we were on the ocean side, we had to park on the street side of the complex & walk around to the unit. It was not a long walk, but worth considering when it’s super hot out or carrying a lot of items from your vehicle. We were there towards the end of June and the pool was very dirty; there was a lot of dirt/debris floating & along the bottom. It had been a bit windy, but I think it was just not appropriately maintained. There was a resident there, who got out the net, after she heard my comment about the pool cleanliness, but it was just too much for her. The water was still refreshing, but there is NO shade around the pool area. We enjoyed ourselves & I would recommend this unit; especially for couples or small family of 3 looking for a quick, quiet beach getaway.

This beach condo has everything you need to make your summer vacation, or your weekend get-away a memorable experience.

This property is a hidden gem that many people just don't know about! The truth is that many owners want to keep this piece of private beach a secret.
