Tiny House at the Beach

We enjoyed it for 2 people(3 would be too tight). Bathroom was great with nice big shower and plush towels. Kitchen good counterspace. Do not bring too many clothes as there are no real closets but a nice vanity that worked. Very accommodating with an easy walk of about 1 minute to the beach with a wonderful gazebo walkway. Near many restaurants, Fort Macon, and Beaufort. Looking forward to returning soon!

Seconds from the Ocean

This was our 3rd stay at Ocean Sands but our first in Jen and Ben's unit. This is by far our favorite one. Everything you need is provided including the softest towels and a dehumidifier! It makes such a difference and there was no musty smell like some of the other units. We recommend emptying right before going to bed to avoid being woke up by the beep that's it's full. The pool is great and of course it is steps away from the beach. We can't wait to come back next year.
