OCEANSIDE COMMUNITY • 2nd Floor •Private Beach Access • Pool • Kitchen

Stay in a tranquil Oceanfront Community in a convenient location close to dining, shopping, and local attractions!

Guests enjoy 600 feet of Private Beach through two charming gazebo walkways, complete with shared seating areas and Scenic Ocean Views—perfect for relaxing and taking in the coastal breeze.

After a day of exploring the coast, unwind at the sparkling community pool, a refreshing spot to relax under the sun.

[THE SPACE]
This 300 sq. ft. studio is best suited for 2 adults and can comfortably accommodate up to 3 adults.

Great week in Atlantic Beach!

The location was just as described, the beach was just over the dune! Nice and quiet. We were there to visit our kids so it was a perfect place for us to stay after a long day. Only thing I would mention is that there is no closet space or drawers for clothes. Minor for the two of us, who hasn't lived out their suitcase once or twice. Would recommend for anyone looking for a super close spot to the beach at a good price!

This spot was just what we needed for a quick beach getaway. A perfect boardwalk to get you right to the ocean and the season and weekday added to the uncrowded atmosphere. We felt safe and comfortable during our stay.

Fall getaway!

We had an amazing short trip to our favorite area, AB. This was our first time staying at Ocean Sands and it will not be our last! It was PERFECT for the two of us. It was clean, decorated cute, quiet and super accessible to the beach and pool! The condo was well supplied with kitchen utensils. I suggest making a trip to the Beaufort farmers market on Saturday mornings and bringing back your bounty for dinner 😉 we had fresh shrimp, crab claws, corn and potatoes all locally sourced. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our delicious meal. Restaurants are so close if you aren't into cooking and a Dollar General is within walking distance for any forgotten supplies. Great rental- you won't regret staying here!

Great stay!!

We really enjoyed our visit! Being right on the beach is wonderful! My kids loved playing in the pool, too! The bed and the futon were comfortable. The room was clean and had all the extra accommodations for a very comfortable stay! Access to the room was easy. We really appreciated the air conditioner and the dehumidifier in room! They both worked well!

These condos have just been remodeled. Ours was well appointed, tasteful and comfortable. They are small, only 300 sq. ft so plan accordingly. The parking lot really needs repaving but otherwise the interior is beautiful and the common amenities: pool, boardwalk, etc in very good condition.
