About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Enjoy coastal living from this 2nd-story Ocean-View Studio, refreshed with a calming, beach-inspired design with subtle retro touches.
The Ocean is visible from the window, and Private Gazebo access leads to a quiet, secluded stretch of beach just steps away. Shelling, sandy strolls, sunset walks, and a scenic coastal bike path are all part of the experience!!

Enough for couple people .Defenately being by the beach is a huge plus, Little kitchenette was enough for making a warm meal. Wish there was a separate bathroom sink though.
The room was clean, easy to find, quite, and just the right size for me and my daughters stay, and the beach was in walking distance so we didn't have to drive around looking for a public access..price was also reasonable. Will most definitely be booking with them again.
I enjoyed every minute at this location. The glass door & frame should be replaced it was a little annoying to have to adjust and fix the door every time we’d leave. But overall the place was great! I’d recommend, and I’d go back!
Location. Property. Things to do in the entire building. Access to beach. Availability of food stores near by. Short drive from Morehead city. We absolutely loved our time and stay. Definitely be back.
LOVED the location and the room, and appreciated the ability to take our rescue dog. Room is very small but very well appointed, so it was like a hotel room with bonus accessories. Bed was comfortable and so was the futon.
The complex property is immaculately cared for.
We are old people who had trouble with our "smart" tv, and a technician was standing at the door about 10 minutes after I sent a text for help! He fixed us up in about 30 seconds.
Highly recommend.
We love Ocean Sands. Did not like the newly remodeled building though. Not having a bathroom sink is just weird. Having to wash dishes in the same sink as you wash your hands after going to the toilet or brushing your teeth is weird to us, especially just to have an extra large shower...Had no issue being moved to a different room/building that jad a full bathroom. Property is always nice and clean. We've srayed here 2 years in a row and will continue to stay here on our trips.
Property is always clean
Condo had everything we needed for a great week! Condo was clean and bed was comfortable. Plenty of pillows!!! Location is great. We’ve stay at Ocean Sands for the last 6 years and have never been disappointed in the facilities. Laundry room was clean and well kept. Excellent grounds keeping.
We love coming to stay at Ocean Sands! Nick and Mia are incredibly responsive. The room is clean, comfortable and convenient. So grateful for this getaway each year to celebrate my husband’s birthday!

It was great. Exactly what we needed for our family. thanks so much
It was great, beautiful weather, just awesome this time of year. Great view too.
The place was very clean and cute. Outside had high top chairs that are perfect for sipping coffee in the morning with an ocean view. They had great communication with me during the stay and even upgraded me free of charge. Very easy check-in and out process. I would definitely recommend it!
Place was very convenient to the beach and Atlantic Beach restaurants. Small but had everything I needed! Kitchen was well stocked for a couple or small family. It’s a little weird not having a bathroom sink, but the kitchen sink is directly outside the bathroom door and there is a mirror behind the sink so it didn’t feel too odd, and the full size shower was nice. Appreciated the beach chairs available and the cold ac! Only recommendation would be to make the door easier to lock, deadbolt is a bit off from the frame. Overall a great stay by the ocean!
This is our third summer staying at this complex but our first summer in this specific building. I’d definitely say we preferred the blue building to this one, but it was still nice for our short visit. Love the private beach access and community pool. Room looked pretty similar to the listing. I saw all the complaints about the lack of sink in the bathroom but didn’t think it would be a big deal. We truly wouldn’t mind that much, but there was also virtually no counter space in the kitchen. With more counter space, the lack of sink in the bathroom would’ve been no issue. Bed was super comfy, and super appreciated the complimentary beach chairs! Kinda bummed the guest book was filled up, but that’s obviously not a big deal for booking. Unit could definitely use some updates, but overall nice value for the price we paid.
Although the property was very close to the beach it was very small. The bathroom were cramped. The air conditioning worked but did little to help with the humidity always seemed to be sweating. The fridge was very small.
The beach was just right over the dunes from us and visible from our room. Everything you need in a compact area. We were able to get groceries to cook a little and enjoyed the beach without having to leave in the car.
