The two-story condominium building is oceanfront, and your suite is ocean view. Your second-floor room is on the side of the building, three doors down from the oceanfront corner of the building.

From your suite, appreciate an ocean view while soaking in the tranquility of your oceanside beach getaway.

---SUNRISE & SUNSET OVER THE OCEAN---
Atlantic Beach is located on a southward-facing island which, depending on the time of year, gives you the opportunity to see both the sun rise and set over the ocean! When the sun does set over the sound vs the ocean, you can take a fast drive across the street and down Pelican Drive where the peaceful public pier offers handsome photo opportunities.

This handsome space is your own personal oceanside getaway. We remodeled the condo with care and expert craftsmanship to bring tranquility and luxury to your beach vacation. We are proud of this pretty ocean view unit and would appreciate for you to call it home for your Atlantic Beach vacation.
