Calm and convenient location

Guests say this area is peaceful and it’s easy to get around.
Beach-bound and barrier-free! Whether you use a wheelchair, walker, or wagon, at Ocean’s 16Eleven, your family and fur-babies can relax and work remotely just 200 steps to the sand! Enjoy the gulf breeze and listen to the waves from the front porch. A stocked kitchen, three bedrooms, two full baths, and an office optimized for remote work make our beach retreat an easy home away from home!
*8 adults can sleep comfortably, or 4-5 adults and 3-4 kids*

The space
Our house was originally built for a person in a wheelchair, and we’ve found that the accessible design makes it an easy and comfortable space for all people and pets to stay with these features:
- no steps in the house, other than the front porch
- all doorways are 36” wide
- grab-bars in both bathrooms
- bathtub transfer bench
- concrete ramp to the side door gives easy access for wheelchairs and strollers
- retractable baby gates on the porch and ramp keep children and pets safe as needed

Primary bedroom:
- king-sized bed
- en suite full bathroom
- adjacent study/office set up with high-speed internet, monitor, and everything you need to work comfortably and efficiently away from home.

Other bedrooms:
- queen bedroom
- bunk bedroom w/ full bed below and a twin bunk above
- large full bathroom in the hallway between queen & bunk bedrooms

A small fenced front yard gives pups an outdoor space to enjoy while waiting for their beach walk!

There are 2 street parking places currently. We hope to have our garage available for parking soon.

*Our family moved into the house 3 years ago (for a temporary stay that lasted longer than expected because we loved being there so much!), which is why there is a gap in reviews -- we just re-listed this summer after moving to the other side of the neighborhood.*

Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire house and yard, with the exception of the garage.
We provide a wagon, camper chairs, umbrella, buckets and toys for guests to use at the beach.

Other things to note
Med students and Snowbirds/Winter-Texans are welcome all year round. Ask about special long-term rates!
