Beach Access #1 – Sleeps 14, Heated Private Pool, Perfect Location!

Just 60 steps from the sand at Beach Access #1, 1401 Gulf is a spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath beach house sleeping 14 guests and is perfectly placed—close to bars, restaurants, and the beach, yet tucked away on a quiet street near the causeway to avoid traffic. Parking for four vehicles makes arrival a breeze.

Sip your morning coffee on the front balcony with ocean breezes and nightly fireworks, or fire up the gas grill on the back balcony for a sunset cookout. Take a refreshing dip in your heated private pool, surrounded by a shaded backyard and grassy area for outdoor games. After the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower—perfect for sandy feet and paws.

Inside, the large open layout features a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, and small appliances like an air fryer, Keurig coffee maker, and more, plus a huge pantry for all your groceries. We've also stocked the home with board games, books, and family-friendly extras like a baby/dog gate, stroller, highchair, and bouncy seat.

Plenty of towels and beds and space. 1out of 2 fridges worked. 1 K cup coffee machine didn’t work. Air fryer didn’t work. Had to figure out the dryer needed to be pulled out from the wall to allow the hot air out the crimped vent hose and dry our clothes properly. Two toilets flushed/drained slow. We still had a good time.

Good times

The house is in a great location. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 4 kids. We enjoyed the balcony and easy access to the beach. It was clean and modern. Booking and check in/out was easy and the mgmt company was easy to deal with. Loved the beach gear credit. Would stay again!

Wonderful Property

We spent a whole week at this house and loved it. It is a convenient walk to the beach access point. The house is spacious and well-maintained. The kitchen came fully stocked and the beds were comfortable enough. We will definitely rent this property again.

Great House Great location

This was the perfect house for a family getting away. 8 adults and 6 kids. Plenty of room, nice pool and very close to beach entry. Bunk beds would probably be fine for children, not so much for adults. :-) But still a great stay.
