About this apartment rental

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.

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.

Enjoy parking directly in front of the unit, along with panoramic ocean views from the community gazebos and second-floor wraparound decks.

Stayed in the same room last year. Was surprised when we arrived. Still cozy and clean. Wonderful place to stay.

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.
