Cozy Ground-Level Beach Retreat – 75 Steps to the Gulf | Bamboo Apts #4

Welcome to Bamboo Apartments #4, a freshly renovated ground-level one-bedroom, one-bath hideaway just 75 steps from the Gulf—no streets to cross, no stairs to climb, and no crowded hallways. A short stroll through our wildflower meadow leads you to soft white sand, gentle Gulf breezes, and spectacular sunsets.

Family-owned since 1971 and featured in Southern Living, our boutique beachfront property blends Old Florida charm with modern comfort. After surviving Hurricane Helene, we invested in thoughtful renovations while preserving the cozy character guests have loved for generations. Our property remains safe, spotless, and lovingly maintained—with no hidden or “junk” fees, ever.

Set on nearly an acre of pristine shoreline, Bamboo Apartments offers 150 feet of private beachfront and six spacious patios for grilling, lounging, or simply soaking in the views. If you forget something, your apartment is just steps away—perfect for families with little ones.
