Escape to Paradise: Your Perfect Beach Getaway at Steps to the Sand

Looking for the perfect beach retreat for your family or friends? Look no further than Steps to the Sand—a fully furnished 4-bedroom, 2-bath vacation home just a short stroll away from the beach. Whether you’re planning a fun-filled family vacation or a relaxing getaway, this spacious property offers everything you need for the ultimate coastal experience.

The Ideal Space for Families & Friends
Designed with your comfort in mind, Steps to the Sand boasts two master bedrooms—one featuring a king-sized bed and pull-out sofa, and the other with a queen bed—perfect for couples or anyone seeking extra space. The two kid-friendly bunk rooms provide ample sleeping arrangements, with one featuring a double twin bunk bed with a trundle and the other with a twin bed and trundle.

This home comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests, making it the perfect choice for family vacations or group getaways.

A Kitchen That Feels Like Home
Say goodbye to vacation rentals that leave you scrambling for kitchen supplies. At Steps to the Sand, we’ve made sure that your kitchen feels just like home. The recently updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, and solid surface countertops, making meal prep a breeze.

You’ll find a full set of real pots and pans, a Ninja blender for smoothies, stoneware plates and cups, beach glasses, and all the spices and condiments you could need. No more settling for a “starter set”—we’ve got the essentials covered, including coffee and coffee maker, toaster, and lots of pots and pan for those evenings you want to stay and grill up your fresh catch from the beach.

Beach Access Made Easy
You’ll never be far from the water with the private boardwalk leading you directly to the beach—just a quick 5-minute walk and you’re ready to sink your toes into the sand. Beach days are made even easier with beach chairs and sand toys available for your use. Whether you’re soaking up the sun or cooling off in the waves, This prime location offers the perfect spot for relaxation and a quick 5 min golf cart ride to downtown

Entertainment for Everyone
When you’re done at the beach or need a break from the sun, there’s no shortage of entertainment at Steps to the Sand. The main living area features a 70” flat-screen TV with surround sound, so you can enjoy your favorite shows or sports in style. Each bedroom is also equipped with its own flat-screen smart TV, giving everyone their own space to relax. With full cable, HBO, Netflix, and high-speed 500 MB internet, you can stream, work, or binge-watch without a hitch.

Outdoor Living at Its Best
Enjoy the coastal breeze from the back patio, complete with a table, umbrella, and seating for 8. Surrounded by lush landscaping including hibiscus and gardenia, it’s the ideal place for meals, happy hour, or just relaxing with family. Need to rinse off the sand? An enclosed outdoor shower is conveniently located just behind the front steps.

Golf Cart for Extra Fun
During the summer months (late May through September), we offer the free use of a 6-seat gas golf cart to make getting around town or to the beach even easier. This fun and practical amenity comes with a few guidelines, including a liability waiver and refundable deposit, but it’s a great way to explore the area at your leisure.

Pet-Friendly Policy
We know that pets are part of the family, which is why we allow dogs to stay with you at Steps to the Sand. We have three dogs ourselves, so we understand how important it is to have a pet-friendly place to stay. We do ask that pets are kept on a leash while outside (per local laws) and that the designated pet area in the neighborhood is used. A small fee applies for each pet, along with a pet damage insurance policy, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a worry-free vacation.

Your Next Step
We’re eager to welcome you to Steps to the Sand. Booking is easy, and with our instant availability updates, you’ll know right away if the dates you’re interested in are available. Please be aware that we do have specific guidelines for reservations, including minimum stay requirements for peak seasons and holidays. If you have any special requests, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!

Cancellation Policy
Life happens, and we understand that plans can change. Should you need to cancel, we offer a flexible policy that provides full refunds for cancellations made at least 30 days in advance. If something unexpected comes up, just keep us in the loop—we’ll work with you to make things right.

Perfect space to getaway!
My family and I had such a wonderful stay at this property for my 30th birthday. The owner was so sweet and was responsive to all of our questions. Doggie station was only a few steps away so taking my dog out to potty was really easy. Getting to the beach was SUCH an easy lil walk across the boardwalk. It had all the comforts of home and the grocery store is only a quick drive down the street to stock up on whatever you need. I truly hope we can return to this property again because it was such a wonderful trip!
