About this property

Balmy Waves Sur Mer - Atlantic Watergate Oceanfront

Enjoy fabulous oceanfront views from every level of Balmy Waves Sur Mer, our three story townhome in North Bethany. We’re located in the family friendly Atlantic Watergate community of Tower Shores. Imagine being steps away from a private beach - nothing can beat the feeling of being right on the ocean!

Indulge in the sights and sounds of the ocean from the moment that you walk in the door. Our end unit rustic getaway with modern amenities is directly on the ocean. The living room is furnished with comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and internet. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances (including a double oven) and is well stocked. There’s a dining table for six and counter seating for three. Also on the first floor you’ll find a powder room, utility closet with washer/dryer, stairs leading to the four upstairs bedrooms, and entrances to the private oceanfront porch and deck. The oceanfront screened porch has a table for six. Additional seating is available on the oceanfront lower deck.

There are three bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor. The oceanfront bedroom has a queen size bed with a private deck furnished with bistro seating. The two smaller, cozy bedrooms on the second floor have a view of the bay in the distance. One room has a double bed and the other has two twins. Room darkening shades and ceiling fans can be found in the bedrooms and on the first floor.

Directly facing the ocean is the third floor master suite with king size bed, vaulted ceiling, full bath and SmartTV. The master suite is very private with entry to the bedroom at the top of the third floor stairs. Experience sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean or enjoy your morning coffee from the master suite’s furnished private deck.

Our home has an oceanside cold water shower, beach supplies, a grill, four bikes, and parking for two cars underneath the front deck. We also have plenty of board games, puzzles, a selection of books, and fun activities and crafts to keep you busy on rainy days. Take what you make. Rented sheets, bath towel sets, bath mats and kitchen towels are provided year round for up to eight people. Please plan on bringing your own beach towels.

Well behaved, non-shedding or low shedding dogs on monthly flea/tick preventative are considered on a case by case basis. Modest nonrefundable pet fee applies. Please mention your pet(s) when you make your reservation.

Our cleaning crew is excellent and adheres to a rigorous cleaning protocol. In our home you’ll find cleaning and laundry supplies to use during your stay if you so choose. Paper products are also provided.

If you reserve our home, please let us know who’ll be joining you on your trip. We’re hands on owners who personally ensure that the house is just so before our guests’ arrival. It truly would be our pleasure to share our peaceful seaside escape with you!

Perfect Beach Retreat!

Our stay at this beautiful beach house was simply perfect! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. The location couldn't be better – right on the beach with stunning ocean views from every room. The check-in process was seamless, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful, even leaving us a welcome bouquet and snacks. Our dog loved the private beach path, and we cherished the peaceful mornings on the balcony watching the sunrise. We can't wait to return to this slice of paradise!

Absolutely perfect!

We got exactly what we wanted, a place to decompress and enjoy the ocean views. Literally right on the beach. We had the beach to ourselves. We brought our dog and he loved it. We enjoyed the most beautiful, breathtaking sunrises from the bedroom balcony. Toni provided us with everything that we could possibly need. We arrived to fresh flowers and towels and bedding from a linen service. Everything was clean and the appliances seemed to be brand new. We hope to return again. Rennie and Brian

Great place to return to for another week at the beach

Second time we have stayed here-always very clean and supplied with snacks and a surprise bouquet of flowers. Owners very communicative and accessible if needed. Very quick to respond to questions before and during stay. Lovely that two good size bedrooms face the ocean and have lovely decks off each. Outdoor deck on street facing side and screened porch and a deck with seating area-great to enjoy coffee in the morning before taking private path to the beach

Lovely place to stay

- The hosts were very attentive to their guests... kept us informed prior to the stay, left us lots of nice extras which we appreciated. Beyond what we have ever had at other vacation rentals. - The site is outstanding. On the seashore (of course) but also very close to the shore. Beautiful views of the ocean from every floor. - Can't wait to go back!!

Our Favorite spot!

This is our second time staying at this location. It is so beautiful and relaxing. We love watching our kids play on the beach, while enjoying our morning coffee on the porch. The beach is literally your backyard! The house is set up to accommodate large families comfortably and is always spotless. We can’t wait to return again soon!

Beautiful view

This home is literally steps from the beach. We woke up and went to sleep listening to the sound of the ocean. The house was beautiful and clean. The pictures don’t do it justice. Toni, the owner, had snacks, paper products and linens delivered prior to our stay. Toni responds to inquiries promptly and she made our VRBO stay an extremely positive experience. We had a very memorable NYE weekend here and it felt like home.

Perfect location!!

With the back deck exiting directly onto the beach, this location couldn't be better. Between the views and quick access to the house for snacks or bathroom breaks, it was perfect. The house came with so many extras, including linens, toys, kitchen staples, and little shampoos. Toni was very responsive and the welcome bag was a really nice touch. I can see why this property is already booked up for next summer!

You cannot beat the beachfront location of this house. The condo is ON the beach. There’s a playground right there as well, and tennis courts. One restaurant within walking distance.

Our family of six had a lovely stay at Tower Shores . The home was very clean when we arrived. The owner added a lot of little 'hotel' touches to the place like soap and shampoo. The beach is right out back and the views from the balconies are amazing. Hope to stay again. Also the owner was very responsive when I had a few questions.
