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!!

[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.
