The Sands - Apartment 13 - Onetangi Beach

Description

With filtered views across Onetangi Bay and just seconds from the white sands of Onetangi Beach, Apartment 13 offers relaxed, light filled seaside living at the quieter end of the bay. Set close to beachfront dining and coastal walks, it is a well positioned base for guests wanting comfort, outlook, and simplicity in one of Waiheke’s most popular beach locations. Apartment 13 is designed for simple, comfortable beachside living. The interior is warm and bright, with generous windows that bring in natural light and give a soft, filtered outlook toward the ocean. The open-plan layout keeps the apartment easy to use, with the living, dining, and kitchen areas forming one connected space for groups, couples, or small families. The lounge is arranged for relaxed evenings, with comfortable seating and a clear view toward the landscaped grounds and bay. The dining area sits beside the main window, keeping the living space open and inviting. The kitchen includes stainless appliances, tiled splashbacks, good bench space, and everything guests need for simple meals at home. The bedrooms are set away from the main living area for privacy. The master bedroom features a king bed and wide windows that bring in morning light. The second bedroom has a queen bed and sits close to the main bathroom, making the layout practical for two couples, friends travelling together, or a family needing separate rooms. Bathrooms are modern, with tiled walls, a walk-in shower, vanity storage, and a clean, functional design. Apartment 13 offers a quiet, easy base for beach walks, nearby dining, and simple days moving between Onetangi, the vineyards, and the wider island.
