About this property

2nd Floor Ocean View Condo•Pet Friendly•Pool•Private Beach Access

Settle into easy coastal living in this 2nd-story Ocean-View studio, styled with a calming, modern beach-inspired design and subtle retro charm.

Catch a glimpse of the ocean from your window, then wander through the private gazebo to a quiet, secluded stretch of beach just steps away. Shell hunting, sandy strolls, sunset walks, and a scenic coastal bike path are all part of the fun.

Watch our YouTube video titled Ocean Sands, presented by Sun, Surf & Sand Vacation Rentals.

Beach time

Although it is an older building, it was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it is close to everything. Just a short walk over the boardwalk to the beach, areas to rinse off the sand and anice pool available to those who stay here. Our little Yorkie felt welcomed, too.

Exactly as described

I love Ocean Sands. Located near everything, steps from the beach, places are always clean and easy to get in and out of. The place can’t be beat for location and price. The unit in particular was clean and well stocked with the essentials. The shower was surprisingly roomy and accommodating for my 6’3” self. I would absolutely stay here again.

Mothers Day weekend getaway

I really wanted a relaxing weekend at the beach. It was just me, my son & the pup. We didn’t have any plans other than relax in the beach, eat some good seafood & spend time together. This rental was perfect! It was spotless, well furnished; it even had a hot plate & pots & pans but we didn’t use them. There was a vacuum to pick up the sand that inevitably gets into the room. The beds were comfy & the room had a dehumidifier which made it very comfortable. Being beach front was just perfect, we could go back if we wanted food or ice for drinks & of course being able to wander onto the beach whenever we wanted was amazing. The check in & out process was clearly described & so easy.

Great stay right on the beach

Great beach access plus the dog was able to come! There is only 1 restaurant in walking distance which was still closed weekdays during off season. We were able to cook breakfast each morning and had some dinners on the deck. Great affordable place.
