About this property

1st Floor Studio · Beach Access · Pool & Kitchenette

  • Be among the first to enjoy this beautifully renovated beach studio in Atlantic Beach’s oceanfront Ocean Sands community! Stroll through the private gazebo to a stretch of peaceful beach, cool off by the sparkling pool, and stay connected with 400 Mbps WiFi.

    Restaurants, shops, and the scenic coastal bike path are minutes away! Privately owned & self-managed—not a hotel; ideal for easygoing guests who enjoy a simple beach escape.

    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.

    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 inquire about our other listings.

    ☞IMPORTANT NOTE:
    This ground-floor unit is located within an oceanfront complex but faces east toward a neighboring property and DOES NOT offer an ocean view from inside the condo.

3-4 level condos on either side dwarf this property but no worries. Nice quiet stay for two ppl and it works. I think any more than three ppl, you might have an issue. Quite, nice and clean. Checking in - out was easy and wouldn't have a problem staying there in the future.

Wonderful Stay!

I can’t recommend this property enough! We decided at the last minute to see if we could add a night to our stay & communication/response from the owner was immediate AND we got our extra night! Everything in the room was in perfect working order & clean. Walk over the dune via steps and a gazebo, and you are literally on the beach! The sunrises were AMAZING!! Thank you so much, we can’t wait to return!
