About this property
Bear Necessities | 366 ft. from the beach | Private Pool, Pet Friendly
New for 2026: A coffee bar, quartz countertops, and additional dishwasher added to the mid-level kitchen.
New for 2025: Major renovations will be converting the top-level loft to a master bedroom. The adjoining bathroom will be remodeled, as well as the two mid-level hall full bathrooms.
New for 2024: The name changed to Bear Necessities (formerly Casa Mi Lo). New owners added a pool and fenced patio. Two of the mid-level bedrooms have been converted to master bedrooms. Updated furnishing and décor, new carpeting.
This iconic oceanside beach house mixes the best of old and new - the traditional pine-paneled décor is updated with new furnishings, fixtures, and two new master bedrooms. The pool and patio add options to cool off in the water or soak up the sun. Children and dog-friendly, the shaded deck offers a play area and fencing for both. Enjoy an ocean view and breeze from the tri-level, wrap around decking. Inside, gather in the large living room or enjoy games and puzzles in the top level loft. Create beach feasts in the fully-stocked kitchen with its large, buffet-ready island. Dine in the expansive dining room or outdoors on the screened porch overlooking the ocean. Retire for the evening in spaciously sized bedrooms and wake up well-rested for another day on the beach! From sunup to sundown, Bear Necessities has everything you need for a great Sandbridge vacation.
