About this property
Awesome Ocean views- Beachfront! STUDIO
You will love the 5th floor ocean views from the private north facing balcony of this studio. The Florence complex sits right on the beach. It's just a short walk over the boardwalk to the ocean. I don't think you can stay any closer to the beach!
This updated unit has a new queen bed & queen pull out sofa will comfortably sleep 4. It's fully equipped kitchen is perfect for your meal prep needs. We use 100% cotton sheets and supply plenty of nice towels for your stay. To lighten the packing load we also have beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards & a small cooler for our guests to use. Pool and hot tub, cable & WIFI
We are located toward the north part of the island between Clayton's and Wanna Wanna. Walking distance to many places but away from the noise and crowds.
The island has a free Metro bus that picks up right in front of the building and runs until 9:00 PM.
Pet friendly. Pet fee and Pet Agreement required.
Max guests: This unit must not exceed 4 guests.
We are just a phone call away in case you need anything.
