Our Happy Place - Luxury Oceanfront Escape w/Pool

In season (Mid-January through March & June through July) we rent Saturday to Saturday. Please keep this in mind when booking your stay with us!

Best. Vacation. Ever! Is what you’ll say after visiting Sea Coast Gardens II Unit 305, better known as “Our Happy Place”. This beautifully appointed 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom direct ocean front unit is designed to maximize your vacation experience and provide all that you will need to make memories that will last a lifetime. The entire condo underwent a complete renovation in 2022. From floor to ceiling in every room the décor and amenities have been upgraded and modernized.

The living room is comfortable and stylish with new furniture including a queen sleeper sofa. It features a 55” LED Smart TV along with an upgraded cable package. We’ve added a DVR for you to record your favorite shows as well as a Blue Ray disc player. In the entertainment center, you will find videos and board games for family fun time. There is also a small library with books that will interest readers of all ages.

The all-new kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a dual temperature wine refrigerator. Guests are welcomed with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. The space was reconfigured for a more open feel and finished with new cabinets, quartz countertops, and modern lighting. The new dining room table and chairs can accommodate up to six people.

The primary suite is the ultimate beach retreat. Designed for relaxation in a “spa like” setting, it features a king size bed with high thread count Egyptian Cotton linens, 47” LED Smart TV, and an incredible ocean view. The ensuite bathroom has been completely remodeled and includes a luxurious shower to wash away any stress you may have brought with you from home.

The second bedroom has been completely transformed providing the ultimate in sleeping flexibility. Choose from bunks or a queen bed based on your family’s needs. The room also includes a 27” flat screen with Fire TV for access to all of your streaming services. The second bathroom now features a tub/shower so the little ones can enjoy bath time after a long day on the beach.

The balcony is a second living room with a “million-dollar view”. The space is comfortably furnished with a sectional couch, love seat, and a table. This is the perfect spot to start your day with a cup of coffee while watching our magnificent Atlantic Ocean sunrise. Curl up with a good book in the afternoon. Or in the evening relax and unwind under the stars to the feel of ocean breezes and the sounds of waves upon the shore.

For “fun in the sun” time guests are provided beach towels, chairs, a chaise lounge, and a “Sun Ninja” for UV protection. Also included are boogie boards, fishing poles and sporting equipment, along with beach toys and games for the whole family to enjoy. But be warned, once you visit “Our Happy Place” you’ll want to come back year after year.

Perfect vacation spot

We truly enjoyed our stay! The owners put a lot of thought into what guests may want/need (games, beach toys, first aid kit, forgot something bag etc...). The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked and it was VERY clean! The overall complex was wonderful, we really enjoyed the two pools, the clubhouse, grills and access to the beach. We anticipate returning next year. It is a great unit!

Amazing Condo!

Probably the best VRBO property we've ever staying across the US. It had every little detail you can think of including aloe vera for that Florida sunburn. The condo was comfortable and the view was outstanding. Thanks for sharing your happy place with us. The Jacksons

Nicest Condo Ever!

The stay started off a bit rocky due to Rebecca with Great Ocean Condos telling us that we could check in early. They were hard to get to answer the phone to begin with, but nonetheless we arrived at 3 pm & the owner was cleaning the condo. We called Rebecca back and she stated that the condo would be ready at 3:45. We were aggravated as it was so just waited until original check in time at 4 pm to go back. I will say as soon as we walked in we were taken aback by the beauty and cleanliness of this condo. It has the most perfect view and the owners had it decorated so nicely. They provided everything we needed and more. It was nice of them to leave chairs, umbrellas and beach towels to use if needed. Other than the initial hiccup we did not have a bad thing to say about this condo and would love to go back.

Incredible view

Our family of 6 (4 young kids) had the best stay. The condo had everything we needed - including plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, etc. We had very chilly weather but it was sunny and we still were able to enjoy the porch, which feels very private. We saw two rockets launch and the sunrise every morning. We swam several times in the heated pool. While my older kids surfed, I was able to watch them from the porch. We rented paddle boards and drove to the landing near blue springs park to see the manatee - the wait was long but so worth it. The only note is to be sure to have quarters or be able to download an app to use the laundry facilities. The cleaning services only cover two loads of laundry so we had to wash a couple loads. Highly recommend this spot!

The condo is great very clean and well stocked with really everything you need. My only issue is no washer and dryer in the condo! It is community on each floor and you have to pay to use it. The washer on our floor was broken which was a huge problem!!!! We loved everything else about it.

We could not have had a better stay! Such a lovely location and quite a pleasant surprise at how many extra amenities they have. We were fortunate to be there during the full pink moon and witness the SpaceX shuttle launch at night. So awesome!!!! We will definitely be returning to our "Happy Place" next year. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place to vacation!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at this beachfront condo. We loved sitting on the deck taking in the ocean views. The kids had a blast in the pool and on the beach. The unit has a great assortment of beach toys, chairs and everything we needed for the beach. The beds are comfortable, the place is clean and well kept, and the unit has all these little special touches that set it apart from other places. We'll definitely be back!
