5 · Surf n Sand Studio Apartment by the Water 5

Our goal is to preserve the old Florida and to offer you the opportunity to experience a stay at a vintage themed motel. Our Airbnbs are all unique. Some include neon signs, some the original colorful subway tiles, and others terrazzo floors. You will be staying at the exact Airbnb as pictured on the listing. We seek to keep the properties original and authentic by implementing repairs instead of replacements.

Our offers aim to provide unique experiences for our guests with the use of retro themed motels from the ’50s and ’60s. However, if you are looking for a luxury vacation, Sand Pearl Hotel or Opal Sands Hotel may be a better fit for you. Otherwise, if you would rather enjoy a chill, relaxing and modest vacation place with a one of a kind vintage vibe, you are in the right spot!

Our listings are located only 3 minutes walking distance from the beach and about 10 minutes walking distances from restaurants, bars and shops. Publix, the grocery store is a five minute drive.

Cleaning is our priority. We have a great cleaning team and we, ourselves are on top of that as we inspect each and every Airbnb before each check-in. If you like traveling for free, we recommend Couch Surfing. We do not offer free vacation. We have seen all the tricks so please don’t waist your time and book somewhere else. We have zero tolerance for guests who refuse to follow our few simple rules:

-No smoking in the Airbnb
-No pets
-Quiet time starts from 10 pm
-No parties or events
-Must be 21 to book

(see rules for more information)

We host a lot of awesome and respectful guests. We would rather save a spot for them!

All of our listings are located in a tropical environment. If you are not a fan of nature or bugs, this is probably not a good fit for you. Lizards, mosquitos, palmetto bugs, and ants are a part of Florida’s nature and are quite common in the area. We have professional pest control inspecting and treating all of the Airbnbs, however, mother nature can be more powerful. One advice that we have is to keep all food concealed and closed.

We do not have a front-desk or a common indoor area. However, there are plenty of outdoor areas for the guests to enjoy. We prefer to communicate through the Airbnb messaging system. In case of emergencies, you can always call us. Phone numbers will be visible after the reservation is confirmed.
