True Oceanfront Home! 7BR/5.5BA Sand Castle

Update: the beach steps have been fully rebuilt and guests are able to enjoy direct beach access from this property.

Set directly on the ocean, this 8000 square foot home offers both privacy and luxury for your next gathering of family and friends. As you approach the home and pass the detached 3-car garage, you'll wind around a bricked bath to enter a lovely, bricked courtyard surrounded by lush landscaping. You'll feel the weight of the world lift off your shoulders as you follow the courtyard and enter this luxurious mansion. The open floor plans allows the Atlantic Ocean to greet you from the moment you walk into the home with floor to ceiling grand windows strung along the back of the home.

To the right of the entrance is a fun lounge space completed by a blue sofa and large TV perfect for gaming. An adjacent full bathroom is located between the lounge and game room. Just past the bathroom is game room which includes a multi-functional game table, fun décor, and ceiling LED rope lights. The game table is both a pool table and air hockey table for hours of fun!

Walking forward from the front doors you'll be greeted with a gorgeous, open family room with a grand linen sectional and a large, decorative telescope, HD Smart TV. The family room includes an office space that overlooks the ocean as well as a queen sleeper sofa. To the left of the family room is a formal living room with cozy seating while overlooking the ocean. A lovely spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails.

Adjacent to the living room is the oceanfront dining room. A sprawling, gorgeous dining table allows the entire group to dine together. The fully remodeled kitchen is adjacent to the dining area and includes bar stools for additional seating. The kitchen comes fully stocked for all of your cooking needs and includes all new appliances. The laundry room and half bathroom are located just past the kitchen. Just past the laundry room is the first guest bedroom containing a king bed, Smart TV, and a private entrance to the bricked courtyard. This is the only bedroom located on the first floor.

Near the entrance of the home lies a grand staircase leading you to the second floor. Located on the left is the oceanfront primary suite. A king bed, HD, Smart TV, and sitting enable this room to become a retreat within a retreat. The adjoining primary bathroom contains a two separate vanities, a spacious walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet.

There are three other guest bedrooms and one additional full bathroom located on the second floor of the main house. One of the guest bedrooms includes a queen bed and a Smart TV. An additional guest bedroom includes ocean views, a Smart TV, and a king bed. The last guest bedroom on this level includes ocean views, a Smart TV, and 2 twin/twin bunk beds. Please note that bunk bedroom has glass French doors instead of a traditional bedroom door so this is a better room for tiny travelers. The full guest bathroom includes a walk-in shower.

Stroll back across the bricked courtyard and up the exterior staircase which takes you above the detached garage and into a private guest house. The guest house boasts an outdoor balcony and sitting space that allows you to look over the main house and gaze upon the ocean waves. The guest house holds a large living room complete with a queen murphy bed and a Smart TV, a full-sized kitchen that comes fully stocked, and a dining area. The guest house also contains not one but two identical bedrooms with 2 ensuite identical bathrooms. Each bedroom hosts a king bed, Smart TV, and ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Grandparents have been known to seek refuge in this peaceful guest house!

Back through the bricked courtyard lies an extended bricked path along the side of the home leading you to your private, oceanfront deck. The sprawling deck includes an outdoor dining area to enjoy oceanfront meals and breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. To access the beach steps from the back patio, guests must walk through the grass which is on a slope. Then, you must step up into the beach steps. This may be somewhat challenging for those with limited mobility.

The majority of adult guests must be at least 25 years of age to book. After booking, Oceans Luxury Vacations will reach out to you via email in order to obtain a photo ID and an e-sign rental agreement. If you book a reservation anywhere other than AirBNB and your arrival date is 14 days away or less at booking, we do also need a photo of you holding your ID in order to verify your identity and prevent fraud.

Please note that unless you are booking on AirBNB, that even if you cancel outside of the cancellation window and receive a full refund, the "Administrative Fee" is never refundable.

While this home has ample parking, we do not allow any trailers or recreational vehicles to be parked on-site. We can refer you to an off-site parking company upon request. Three vehicles, or the motorcycle equivalent, can park in the 3-car garage. Up to 2 additional vehicles can park in the driveway. This means guests can have up to 5 vehicles at the home or the motorcycle equivalent.

Please note that the outdoor table was previously a firepit but is now just used as a table. There is a decorative only balcony on the second floor of the main house facing the ocean. There's no way to access it because it is only decorative. We do not advertise a firepit or oceanfront balcony in the listing but we like to make a point to ensure guests are aware as they may notice these items when they arrive.

To ensure you receive the best possible cleaning experience, we do not allow Saturday departures during Spring and Summer school breaks and Bike Week. Simply enter any departure date other than Saturday in those seasons to see a quote and book online instantly.

Great home and awesome time. We just misssed the hurricane but our weather was awesome. It's such a fun area and great to be able to put on your trunks and walk the beach or go in for a nice morning wake me up. We did have a plane delay and the host was gracious enough to give us a few more hours at the home as we waited for our flights to get unscrambled. Thank you.

We came to Florida for our daughter’s wedding. We wanted to stay somewhere by the beach for a mini vacation as well. The house is beautiful, spacious and had plenty of room for our family and some friends. We would love to stay there again sometime.

Family reunion
The house was a perfect choice for our family reunion. There were a few minor issues but they were resolved almost immediately. The best location, the best beaches, and the amenities are abundant. The only thing we wish for is direct access to the beach, but we managed. Would definitely return to this house for our next reunion.

The property was exactly as pictured. The beach and location was near perfection. The home was clean and well appointed. We had a great time. The propane tank was empty and they sent someone immediately with a refill. We will be back.

Great family stay!!
There were 15 of us staying at the house for 5days and we loved it! Being on the beach was definitely the highlight of our stay. The house was clean, the managers were in contact with us and very responsive to anything we needed. The house is older but they have done a pretty good job of remodeling and updating. And the decor is super cute. Thank you for such a great stay! It was a very relaxing vacation in much needed warmth!!!

The place is a health hazard with mold and roaches. 3 car garage unable to be used for parking due to construction debrey.bathrooms full of mold and also ventilation system full of mold and dirt .observed numerous water damage in ceilings and absolutely not a very pleasant stay.toilets constantly running and all blinds in house show rust which indicates dampness and water inside of house with musty smell. Do not waste your money at this location,you will be disappointed.

Family Birthday Celebration
We rented this property to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday. The inside pictures of the house in the listing are accurate. The beach is gorgeous. The back of the house was a construction site. The deck was in the middle of being replaced, half of it was finished while the other half was bare. This made it uneven and easy to trip. There were also pavers lined up on both sides of the deck. The path down to the beach IS NOT a gentle slope, it is steep, and difficult to navigate up and down. Certainly not easy or safe for an 80 year old. The A/C was also not working, which we unfortunately found out our last night when the temperature outside warmed up. The fire pit is also unusable and unfixable. Although the location is beautiful this house needs many repairs and updates.

Family Time
The 4 star rating was because there were spiderwebs and dust on the cabinet against the wall in the living room. Who builds a beach house with no towel bars in the master bathroom? Your online listing picture showed the level beach right up to the patio. It did NOT show the big drop-off to get to the beach--very disappointing for elderly guests and transporting beach gear. We did like the long dining table. We did enjoy our family stay.

Sand Castle Review
House was beautiful. We had one bathroom down upstairs that we could not shower in. Shower downstairs did not always have hot water. Most had to shower upstairs in the master bedroom which had a glass door leading into the bathroom. Glass door needs to have a curtain so people cannot see in when someone is showering. Bedroom with bunk beds also all glass. OK for small kids but had to hang a sheet up for the teenagers. Should place a curtain there also so they could have the option of privacy. Beautiful balcony on second story but no door to access. Need a rug on the inside of the house downstairs to catch some of the sand coming in from the beach. Did not have enough towels, 16 people but less towels than that. Washer had to be used quite a bit to keep up with the number of towels needed for showers and beach. The house was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. Management did provide a credit for the inconvenience of the shower upstairs. REquested a broom to keep sand out but never received.

Amazing home and host
We had a wonderful stay at the "Sand Castle". Right on the beach and the perfect setup for a large group. Communication was prompt and the property was well equipped. You can't go wrong with a rental here and we'd welcome the chance to stay again on a future visit

Perfect to get away with family and friends.
The view and location were perfect, has enough space, bedrooms, and bathrooms, towels. Only the game table was not working. There were only small details about cleaning, but everything else was perfect.
