Oceanfront rentals in Stone Harbor
Homes on the ocean side of Stone Harbor, facing the Atlantic.
On this site, oceanfront means the ocean-side row of the island. These are the buildings that face the water, with dune crossings at the numbered streets along that side.
An oceanfront week is organized around the beach. 96th Street, the business district, is a separate walk, and it is longer from the north and south ends of town than from the blocks near the center. The listing is where the operator’s street, once published, tells you which walk you have.

The ocean side of town
Beach tags are required in summer. The Borough of Stone Harbor sets the dates, prices, and rules, and those details change. A rental includes tags only when the listing says so.
The Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary is a protected heronry in the oceanfront dunes. Watch it from outside the protected area rather than walking in. The beach itself runs the length of the borough.
Questions
Common questions
How is oceanfront different from beachfront?
Beachfront is narrower. It means the operator describes the property as fronting the beach, with the sand in front of it. An oceanfront home can face the water and still have a dune crossing or a walkway between the door and the beach.
