The outside of the building needs repair and felt unsafe as the top portion of studios were blocked off by wood planks.
The studio was very clean and great location. I enjoyed my stay.
Property was well located. Very clean. Check in & out were amazing. Location to the beach was great. Just a short walk across the gazebo and you’re there. Loved the fact that it was sort of private. Not a lot of people. Not commercialized. Travelled alone and felt very safe. Will consider staying here again. Thank you
Spotless!! Very clean!! Small bathroom but it was fine. Could use some shelves to put personal things on in the bathroom. Location was great, room could not have been cleaner!! We did not have a stove but we did have a 2 burner hot plate. It was all we needed. One of the burners was not working, we let them know and they brought us a brand new one. We also had a toaster oven. We bought a pizza at Food loin on night, cut it in half and toasted one half at a time. Worked Great!! The bed was comfortable!! We didn’t hear the neighbors beside us either. Would stay here again!!
Property was very clean and fresh feeling, Furnishings were nice and everything we needed. We had stayed at Ocean Sands before so we knew what to expect as far as location and size of the room.
We came down just the two of us and had a fantastic couple experience! Clean, beautifully decorated room with all the essentials. The proximity to the beach is prime. Will be returning, great spot!!
My daughter and I went to this property for a 3 day beach trip and loved this cute room! It had so much there, beach chairs, hot plate, toaster oven, good size refrigerator and more. It was so close to the beach. It was our first visit to Atlantic beach and it won't be the last. The wifi wasn't working while we were there, but we were too busy enjoying the outside to miss it too much. I will definitely stay here again!
