Other properties that are being replaced include the former Coral Sands Motel, the Sea Breeze Inn, and the Old Quality Inn Motel. e architectural design for Coral Sands creates a sense of community with an open-air center courtyard that has outdoor seating and a grill for summertime community gatherings. Beyond the open concepts and large floor-to-ceiling glass windows for the beach ambiance, coastal materials like cedar wood, light stucco, and natural stone highlight the residence's connection to the ocean shore. is impressive three-story apartment complex is perfect for social individuals looking for a great time on and off the beach. e former Sea Breeze Inn will be replaced by three separate upscale coastal residences. With an emphasis on a simple coastal design, these family homes add a distinctive touch to the neighborhood with their unique refinement. Residents can enjoy a coastal view anywhere with natural light pouring into the open space. e flexible design with multi-level decks takes advantage of the surrounding coastal beauty and eliminates the feeling of confinement. e stacked structure gives a cozy appeal year-round whetherfor a mid-summer cookout or an autumn evening out on the deck.

Luxury condominiums are also taking over Webster Ave. with aclean architecture that is a sharp contrast to the older buildings in the neighborhood. ese high-rise condos bring some of the scorching Miami heat to Seaside Heights with spacious balconies and wrap-around glass views of the ocean. e elegant design is brought out by the natural wood and stonework that reflect coastal living at its best. Smaller spaces are also available at e Hamilton which opts for a more casual quaint exterior. is living space has a cozy appeal with a tight-knit community all around and a beautiful rooop courtyard for social gatherings.
