About this property

Can't Beat This Direct Ocean View! Just Steps From the Beach!

This nicely decorated condo is a treasure on Paradise Island featuring a direct ocean view from the great room & large private deck. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets and sunrises from the deck. You are literally just steps from the beach. It is absolutely beautiful and so easy to enjoy setting up for a day on the beach. An added bonus is the ocean view from all rooms in the condo!

Kitchen - The kitchen features stainless steal appliances & a dinette set. It is well equipped to fulfill all your cooking needs. There's a full size refrigerator with ice maker, electric stove, microwave, and dishwasher. You'll also find dishes, glasses, utensils, pots/pans, bakeware, storage containers, Keurig Coffee Maker, Mr. Coffee pot, toaster, mixer, electric can opener, and a blender. There is a direct & side view of the ocean from the kitchen.

Living Room - The living room is furnished with a sleeper sofa, love seat, & chair, and a 50 in. flat screen Samsung Smart TV with DVD player. The French doors open out to the large private deck. The direct ocean view from the living room and the deck is absolutely magnificent! You will not beat this view! This seaside bungalow gives you the feel of a private beach house. In October of 2022 we replaced the sofa and loveseat with a new set. They look just the same, but for those who are returners, we thought you would like to know the set is new! Our decorator recommended we use the same set because it matches our décor, and she had it in stock. A new rocker/recliner should be in place by the 1st of the year. It has been on order since March of 2022!

Master Bedroom - A comfortable icomfort queen size bed and the wall mounted flat screen TV with DVD player make this room very inviting. Once again, a direct ocean view from the bedroom window makes sitting at your computer and surfing the net a pleasure whether for fun or business. New wood flooring adds a clean, fresh coastal look. No carpet!!!!

2nd Bedroom - The 2nd Bedroom features cozy twin beds and a flat-screen TV with DVD player. Once again, a magnificent view of the beach and the gulf is a huge perk from the window in this bedroom. New wood flooring adds a clean, fresh, coastal look. No carpet!!!!

Bath - A full bath with a modern tiled shower meets your needs. It includes a rain shower head/hand held combo as well as a seat in the shower. The Washer/Dryer is conveniently located just outside the bathroom and near the bedrooms.

Other items available to make your stay enjoyable are the linens, a blow dryer, and a private covered parking space for 2 vehicles. Wireless Internet service is available inside the unit.

All rooms have amazing ocean views whether direct or from the side. If the weather does not allow you to actually be on the beach, you can still enjoy the view from the condo. Ceiling fans are in every room.

Everything you need is located within walking distance. Options are Waves Grocery & Package Store, S & S Fresh Seafood (steamed or grilled to perfection), eating breakfast, lunch or dinner at the West Beach Grille or enjoying your favorite ice cream at Island Ice Cream Treats. Of course the location is convenient to getting right back to Hwy. 59 to go to the water park, the zoo, or for shopping. Give Unit 502 at The Beach Front a try. This beach side bungalow will meet all your needs and give you views and beach access that will be hard to beat anywhere!

A gazebo is on site for use by all the units at The Beach Front. The Beach Front Condominiums offer a quiet, relaxing, family environment.

Check-in is 3:00 pm & check-out is 10:00 am.

Relaxing Time
This was our second time staying during the New Year time. We brought my wife’s 70 parents with us this time as we traveled from Illinois to Miami. It was a perfect stay to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. We saw 3 incredible sunrises and 3 beautiful sunsets without leaving the porch. Everything from booking to communication to arrival was smooth. This is a wonderful place to enjoy and relax.

Girls Trip
We had the best time! Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. Most importantly, it was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The owners really thought of everything. There were even laundry pods for the washing machine. The view from the porch really can't be beat and the bed swing was so relaxing. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing stay and hope to book again next year!

Relaxing
We’ve stayed at many different beach front condos and this one in our experience was the cleanest and most comfortable. The view was great and our host was quick to respond to anything we had concerns with. The place was well put together with a beautiful view when sitting out on the back deck that’s completely yours to chill on while taking a break from the waves. Thanks for having a wonderful place to stay and a lovely experience. 😁

This lovely condo is even cuter in person and has everything you need for an amazing stay. The view and that huge porch are breathtaking! I also appreciated the comfy, high-end furniture and bedding. I love a comfy bed! Harriet was amazing and took very good care of us. The location was great. I enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants, grocery stores, and the ice cream shop. We’ll definitely return!

Perfect Beach Getaway
This unit is all it was said to be....clean, well appointed, and literally on top of the beach, with an incredible porch and stunning views of the Gulf. We had a wonderful stay and we will be back...A big thanks to our very communicative host, Harriet, for a memorable vacation on the sand.

About the host

Hosted by Harriet White & Jim Sanford

Host profile image
The 8 in JKS8 represents the 8 members of our family unit. Of the older family members, six of us are educators. In fact, one of us was a former Superintendent of Education. We are a family of coaches and teachers. Our 2 youngest family members are a pharmacist & a teacher who have married a speech therapist and businessman, respectively. This beachside bungalow has offered us many years of pleasure while getting refreshed and renewed to face daily life. We have decided to share this pleasure with others, so we hope you will enjoy your stay with us as much as all of us have enjoyed The Beach Front.

Why they chose this property

The Beach Front is a quiet, family oriented complex. Our unit is one of 4 with a private deck for the enjoyment of its occupants. The Ocean Views are awesome from every room! The convenience of the private covered parking and the ease of stocking the condo for the stay is a big plus. Being steps from the beautiful ocean is priceless!

What makes this property unique

Being able to enjoy the views from all rooms is a plus for all ages of occupants. Bad weather and other physical issues do not keep the occupants from having the pleasure of the beautiful sights & sounds of the ocean.
