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.

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.
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!
It was fine but the bed has only one side to exit it’s difficult for elderly person to get out of bed when side of the bed is against the wall.I should review the place photo carefully
I stayed for three months and it was great!! Location is everything! Pool and all outdoor areas were kept in tip top shape. I have not one bad thing to say.
