50 Steps to Private Beach•Oceanside Community•1st Floor•Pool•Kitchen•BBQ Grills

Enjoy relaxed coastal living in this first-floor studio located in a peaceful oceanfront community.

Stroll past the private gazebo to a quiet stretch of beach just moments away. Shell hunting, sunset walks, and the scenic coastal bike path are all part of the experience!

For a closer look, watch our YouTube video titled Ocean Sands presented by Sun, Surf & Sand Vacation Rentals.

[THE SPACE]
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.

☞This condo is located in an Oceanfront Complex, but the unit faces west toward the neighboring property, so the ocean CANNOT be seen from inside. Enjoy Panoramic Ocean Views from the community gazebos and wraparound decks with seating. You can also park right outside the unit for easy unloading and convenient access.

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 for availability and details.

Lovely Room in Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay here. My husband and I were in just for the weekend. It was our anniversary and the host left us a anniversary card, which I thought was a nice touch. The room is very small; yet, perfect for just the 2 of us. Very clean and the bed was comfy. We liked having our car right outside the door. The beach was gorgeous and they provided beach chairs for us.

Property was as promised. It was clean and appeared as in photos. One criticism I’d share is that the sponge in the sink had been used previously. Places we’ve been in the past would give a fresh, unopened sponge for dish washing since used sponges can be home to lots of bacteria. Otherwise very clean. And lastly, every where we go, mattresses are incredibly soft, so you’re not the first. But for back issues, a soft mattress is terrible. But it was a good stay for 2 people, close to the beach. We enjoyed it.

Highly recommend

The only negative I can say about this place is that the boardwalk and gazebo leading to the beach has no lights at night time. There is not adequate lighting around the property at night. Other than that this was a most wonderful and pleasant stay. The room was exactly as described. It was very clean and very neat and just what I needed. Location to the beach was wonderful. Very quiet, very relaxing. I will definitely book here again.

Perfect Getaway

I had such a wonderful and relaxing stay! The room was clean and cozy and right on the beach. I enjoyed drinking my morning tea and reading in the gazebo. Such a healing and much needed time away. This was a solo trip and I felt safe, it's a family friendly community of other residents, and not an over crowded beach location for those looking for that like myself. I will certainly return for another stay, thank you!

Wonderful (although rainy) beach getaway!

The rental was very clean and just as pictured. We greatly appreciated the extra accommodations, such as beach chairs, pots, dishes/silverware,etc., offered by the owner, they made our stay more comfortable and removed the travel hassle. Unfortunately, the weather was very rainy and gloomy, but we still got the chance to take advantage of the super convenient beach access, the ocean was literally a 5-minute walk away! We greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying again! :)

Great stay for small group.

I was looking for a rental close to the beach for a short getaway. My daughter joined me for one night. This location was absolutely perfect. The room was clean and had everything I needed including extra toilet paper and paper towels and shampoo and body wash. The beach was literally 100 steps away and the gazebo was fantastic. I got too much sun one day so sat under the gazebo and read the next day with a view of the beach and wonderful breeze. This is a very small room so not for more than 2-3 people but was perfect for my needs. I would definitely book this location again. The only recommendations I have would be a larger trash can in the kitchen and a few more ice trays for the freezer. Thank you!!

Great stay by the beach!

We rented just for the 2 of us to get away, the place is easy to get to, convenient, within steps to the beach. Dollar General and gas station across the street, Food Lion about 1.5 miles away so great central location. The pull out couch bed was quite comfortable! Linens provided were all good. Not much storage inside so pack lightly. The main complaint of this location is the very deep sand trying to get out to beach and back up in the afternoon when the sand is very hot, even with shoes. It would be so nice if this complex would build some stairs rather then the very deep sand pit walkway from the gazebo to the beach. Definately not suitable for anyone very old or with bad knees/walking issue. Just a simple walkway and stairs would be awesome for future guests.
