About this property

Beachfront Community • Private Beach Access • Pool • WiFi • Kitchen

Nestled in a peaceful Oceanfront Community, this charming condo enjoys a convenient, UNBEATABLE LOCATION close to restaurants, shopping, and local attractions.

Step outside to 600 feet of private beach access through two oceanfront gazebos with community seating and stunning ocean views, or unwind by the sparkling pool after a day of coastal adventures!!

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.

☞The unit is located on the 2nd Floor on the north side of a Beachfront Complex. The ocean is to the south, while the unit faces the parking area, so there is no ocean view from inside the condo.

☞Guests can enjoy Panoramic Ocean Views from the community gazebos and wraparound decks, which offer shared seating areas .

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 reach out and we’ll be happy to help find the best options for your needs.

Atlantic Beach + Ocean Sands

The regular owners who were there were welcoming to renters. The studio apartments were right on the water front. Beach access was private. Only gripe is the space can be tough with two kids and the large bed was not comfortable. Outside of that, a great stay!

Weekend Getaway

Property was less than what we expected. Overall cleanliness was bad. Kitchen sink was dirty. Microwave door was cracked. Not safe. Mold along the bottom of the shower curtain. Bathroom vanity soap dispenser was watered down. Mattress sagged in the middle. Very uncomfortable. Used bottles of liquid body wash and shampoo in the shower. Air conditioner was noisy. Ceiling fan in living area was noisy. Worn our futon. Would not remmend this property to anyone.

Beach Getaway

Very cute studio condo unit with beachy decor. 2nd floor unit leads to wraparound porch with beach view. Easy, private beach access. Refresh your soul at the beach with a quiet, relaxing setting that has restaurants and a grocery store close by. I highly recommend the short drive to Beaufort for more restaurants and cute shops.

Relaxing

I had a nice, relaxing visit. My room was comfortable, nicely decorated and clean. Just steps from the ocean and although there was no view from my room, there was from the wrap around porch on the second level where I was staying. Close to shopping, eating and Fort Macon. I definitely will consider staying there again.
