RARE OCEANFRONT CONDO W/ PANORAMIC OCEAN & SUNSET VIEW_PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS_WiFi

Welcome to the HIDDEN GEM of Atlantic Beach! Originally the Captain's Bridge Motel in the 1970s, the interior of this PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEW CONDO has been fully renovated into a CLEAN, Stylish Modern Condo. It is 1 of only 2 units within the entire building DIRECTLY FACING the ocean and the only unit with OCEAN, SUNSET, & POOL VIEWS! Watch our YouTube video titled Ocean Sands presented by Sun, Surf & Sand Vacation Rentals.

Step outside and walk across the lawn through our PRIVATE GAZEBO to access a SECLUDED PRIVATE BEACH perfect for peaceful strolls, shelling, and sunbathing!. The Community Pool is the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation.

This Coastal Oasis combines comfort, convenience, and beauty in one cozy, inviting space, perfect for single travelers or a couple. The unit will sleep up to 3 guests however is recommended for 2.

If you are traveling in larger groups and require additional units, inquire about our other listings within the same Oceanfront Complex. We have multiple units that are right next to each other.

[INTERIOR DESCRIPTION]
The 300 sq. ft studio layout presents the ideal setting for a casual retreat by the SEA. The unit is furnished with a queen-sized bed. The ensuite bathroom features a custom tile shower. There is a kitchenette stocked with basic appliances and a Keurig coffee maker. In the living area, you'll find a sofa sleeper, TV, Wi-Fi, and a counter height table for 2.

NOTE: This unit's shower was recently remodeled. We elected to provide a full size shower and due to space considerations we took out the bathroom vanity. The kitchen sink serves as the only sink in the unit. We have found this an appropriate use of the space, however we want to make sure our guests are aware and comfortable with the layout of the unit prior to booking.

Our first time in Atlantic Beach and we loved it. The apartment was perfect for what we needed and so close to clean, spacious beaches. We ended up leaving early because my husband didn’t feel well but will definitely come back again!

Oceanfront room

This was my second year staying at Ocean Sands through this rental company. The room was nice! It was just me so the smaller bathroom wasn’t a huge deal. I loved having the view of the ocean from my room! Always an easy check in and check out process.

I was very relaxed and pleased with my stay. The room was adorable bright and sunny.

The room had a fresh feel and it was spotless. The floors were tiled and easy to care for. You could sit on the couch and see the ocean. Views from the room were beautiful. The sheets were soft and the towels were fluffy. The bed was extremely comfortable. Everything you needed was there. The room was perfect for a couple. There is sleeper couch for a third person. For our needs the room and Ocean Sands had everything we could ask for. The owner is very efficient and cared about our needs well in advance. He responds quickly to questions and concerns even before you arrive. We are blessed to have found him. We generally stay for two to three weeks so we expect comfort and we found it.

Everything You Need

The pictures are spot on however it is not possible to have privacy and the views. It’s one or the other. Folks from other occupied units have to walk past both the windows to access theirs so the window coverings must be pretty much closed. The location is great! The beach is not crowded, The beach access is well done. There’s plenty of lawn, an outdoor rinse spot. the pool looked good but we opted for the ocean. Great restaurants nearby. Everything works in the unit. Plenty of hot water and a good size shower. The linens were clean. The unit could have used a more detailed cleaning/turnover but overall, not terrible. We enjoyed our stay and will be back to Atlantic Beach.

Almost a Five

Great access to the beach, close to a number of restaurants and Atlantic Beach attractions, large shower, condo window view of the water, ample towels for two, clean, adequately stocked, and a quiet spot in mid-May. There are a lot of positives but it’s equally important to recognize the condo has its limitations. The unit is the size of a small motel room with the bed tucked in a corner giving you only one side to exit or requiring you to get out at the end of the bed. There is no sink in the bathroom. The dehumidifier needed to be emptied regularly. The fan/light over the bed is missing one chain so you could not operate the two functions independently. All in all, this Atlantic Beach unit worked for us, as a couple, for a short 3 night reservation.

We loved this particular spot. It was really one of the best from what we could see.

A couple of issues for us. There were no hooks for hanging coats, etc. That would have been good. Also a dark curtain for the front window by the door to completely block out the 3 outside lights. Also the sanitizing substances used and the cleaning and laundry products used, created a truly toxic entry to our stay. We really suffered from the extent of the smell and the feeling in our bodies. Please consider using non-toxic cleaning materials. It would also have been good if there was a window we could open as it was stuffy often in the apt. We could have used the AC but it is nice to open a window when there is a lovely wind blowing into the apt. Otherwise it was a lovely place to stay. Thank you.

Steps from the beach, perfect for couples!

The condo was perfect, nothing bigger than a hotel room, but when you are that close to the beach, you don’t need a bigger place to stay! Just an FYI to future guests, there is no bathroom sink, you use the kitchen sink for hand washing, brushing teeth or cleaning up outside the shower. The shower was nice and big and updated with shampoo and body wash for use. Plenty of bathroom towels.

Can't beat the location

The place is right on the beach and has a great view of the ocean. Can't beat that. It is tiny, no-frills, and a bit out-of-date, so it won't be for everyone. If 1-2 people just want a functional place with easy beach access, though, they won't do much better than this.

Great rental, terrible futon.

We loved this apt. Although very small, it was fine for what we needed. Very clean, quiet, great view and proximity to the beach. *BUT* the futon was NOT the one in the photo. It was uncomfortable to sit on and terrible to sleep on. When opened, it literally slanted down to the floor. I even took pictures to have proof of this. It was right out of a cruddy thrift shop and was really disappointing, considering how great everything else was. Hopefully you will consider replacing it with something a lot better.
