We are a pet-friendly property and welcome up to two small dogs (under 30 lbs each) for a pet fee. Please notify us in advance if bringing pets, as pets and emotional support animals are subject to this fee. Only ADA-recognized service animals are exempt.

No daily housekeeping service is provided. Guests may use the in-home washer and dryer in the laundry room as needed during their stay.

Our home is built on stilts, like many others in the area, for hurricane and flood protection. Because of this, the living space is upstairs and access is by stairs only — there’s no elevator. You might notice a bit of movement in the house, especially during strong winds, which is completely normal and nothing to worry about.

For your safety and the security of the property, a motion-activated floodlight camera is installed at the front of the house facing the driveway. In addition, a Ring doorbell camera is installed next to the front door, facing outside.

We had such a wonderful family weekend at this beach house! The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. We especially loved all the games and the hot tub—it made for so much fun family time! The setup was great for both adults and kids, and you can tell the owners put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. We would absolutely stay here again!

Our stay was wonderful! We brought our own golf cart and it was a quick, convenient ride to the beach. The house it self was spacious and welcoming. My young son really enjoyed the variety of supplies games and we all sat around taking turns playing Mario! The host gets special kudos for the provided property guide they sent ahead of time. It was very thorough and didn’t leave me having to question ANYTHING!

Spring break

The house was very nice and had a great location at the end of road. Their are houses on both sides of the home but aren’t to close to each other. You have privacy around the hot tub area. The garage has everything you need for the beach too.The kitchen was stocked well for preparing meals. The beds were comfy and bathrooms were perfect for our family size. We liked that there were tvs in every room. A storm made the power go out before we got there. The owner messaged me ahead of time to keep us posted. They were very nice and available for any needs. The home is well decorated and very cozy

Sapphire by the Sea was amazing!

Sapphire by the Sea lived up to it's name! We arrived to a spotless house with the perfect touch of decor giving a cozy and inviteable feel. The bunk room was perfect for our teenage group, and the master suite was the perfect size. Beds were comfortable as was the seating in the living room. The hot tub was the perfect ending to a day at the beach. The garage is filled with everything you need for the beach, from chairs to umbrellas and even a rolling cart. Also, great communication from the owners and an easy check-in process. Definitely recommend Sapphire by the Sea! We hope to be back soon.

Beautiful Modern Beach House

We loved our stay here. We surprised one of our best friends with a 50th birthday party here. We relaxed on the beach for a day and the next day we opted to just stay at the house, play games, and sit in the hot tub. The inside was beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities you could think of. From board games to a Nintendo switch (we played Mario cart) it really was just so much fun :) Would stay here again. Although we were all adults, bringing the kiddos would be perfect for this place as it has everything you would need to entertain them. Thanks again for letting us stay. We loved it.
