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.

This home is beautiful and perfect for our family of four fur baby. It’s clean (I’m very picky about this and this home is great), well appointed, and cozy. For those who care about such things, it’s also decorated with intention, which is very nice. Great place - our 2nd consecutive year there, and was just saying to the family, it should just become our annual thing. Love it!
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!
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
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
Beautiful beach and water, We came during preseason, so quiet and a bit cooler, but very nice. Even in preseason, some good restaurants in the area. Would come again!
This was the perfect place for our family of 4 adults and 4 year old yellow lab. It was just right for us in terms of size and location on the beach. Very clean, nice decor, comfortable, and overall excellent. We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
Toni was fantastic and made our entire experience delightful! The house was clean and family friendly. The location was perfect! It is a hidden gem for families looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat.
The house includes everything needed and more for a comfortable stay. Very well-appointed kitchen. The views abound from every level of the home. Perfect beach access. The property manager is very responsive and adds homey touches, like fresh flowers, which is lovely.
What a wonderful home and location for our beach wedding...the weather was ideal making it all perfect!
Lovely home with comfy furniture and gracious hosts.
Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay here! Very clean place and well stocked! They had everything you could think of which came in handy. We loved being able to walk right out onto the ocean and loved having our pups and toddler with us. Everyone had a blast and came home tired!
Another great family vacation! Perfect house and perfect location!
This was our 2nd year here. Beautiful views. Relaxing private beach. Toni and Robert are great to work with. We already booked next year!! Wish this gem could stay hidden!!!
- 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!!
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!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Location can’t be beat. The home was very clean and check in was a breeze. Toni is very communicative and friendly. She checked in on us upon our arrival and prior to check out. We had no specific needs during the week.
This was our 3rd year at Balmy Waves! Superb location just steps to the beach! Toni is very responsive and communicative. The property is well cared for and very clean. You have every thing you need at your fingertips. We will be back!
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. House was clean and the owner was extremely responsive. Nice touches like snacks, bars of soap, shampoo, etc upon arrival.
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!
We loved the house and location! It was perfect! My daughter was impressed with the sharp knives! I loved the awesome selection of pans, cutting boards, and baking supplies!
Our grandchildren enjoyed the outside hammock swings on the porch. Every bedroom was fully stocked with extra blankets and pillows.
It was a very special family vacation which I would highly recommend! In addition, the landlord was extremely attentive! A good time was had by all!
We will return😊
We’ve been renting in Bethany for over 10 years and think this beach front home was the best place for our family of 5. From the moment we stepped inside and gasped at the ocean view, we were delighted. No detail was overlooked...fresh roses on the deck, sparkling clean, and beautiful decor throughout. Our hosts were so kind and thoughtful—they even provided a basket of hand sanitizer/masks and extra cleaning supplies to make our stay more comfortable. We enjoyed the new grill, bikes, and tons of beach supplies in the perfect location. We would definitely want to stay here again and give our highest recommendation. Thank you!
Great beach place with lots of private sitting areas -screened porch for watching rain or having coffee on the best of beach days! Loved having two master bedrooms oceanfront with private sitting areas
Owners communicative and take pride in making sure is perfect for new arrivals
Great location that permits you beach access out the back of the house. We enjoyed the home and the weather cooperated so that every day was a beach day.
