Room to Spread Out: How to Choose the Right Oceanfront Suite for Your Flagler Beach Getaway - Wix

What makes a beach getaway feel easy?

Is it waking up to salty morning air? Having Coffee while the Atlantic turns silver-blue outside the window? Or knowing the beach, pier, dinner, and a comfortable place to stretch out are all close by?

At Bombora Oceanfront Suites, it’s a little bit of everything.

Our small, family-owned property in Flagler Beach has four oceanfront suites, ranging from cozy 1-bedroom layouts to the spacious, two-story Dolphin Penthouse. Each one combines the relaxed charm of a retro beach town with the modern comforts that make vacation feel like vacation: full kitchens, living and dining space, sleeper sofas, ocean views, free on-site laundry, and direct beach access.

But which suite is right for your getaway?

Let’s break it down...

First, what every Bombora suite has in common

Before choosing by bedroom count, it helps to know what you’ll find throughout the property.

Every suite is designed to feel more like a little beach home than a standard hotel room. You have room to prepare breakfast, gather after a day in the Surf, and settle in for a movie or an easy dinner without everyone sitting on the edge of a bed.

Here are the everyday comforts guests appreciate:

• Full kitchens for breakfast, snacks, takeout, and simple meals

• Living areas with sleeper sofas

• Dining space for relaxed meals and morning Coffee

• Ocean views and bright coastal interiors

• Free on-site laundry

• A shared ocean-side patio

• A dune walk-over directly in front of the property

• Walking distance to Flagler Pier, restaurants, bars, and cafés

And the location? Just steps from the sand. Just steps from the Surf. Just steps from local Flagler Beach flavor.

The views are a big part of the experience, too. Across the property, guests enjoy wide Atlantic scenes, shifting coastal light, and the kind of 180-degree horizon that makes even a quiet morning feel postcard-worthy.

The 1-bedroom suites: easy, cozy, and flexible

Traveling as a couple? Taking a solo trip? Bringing the kids for a few beach days?

Bombora’s 1-bedroom suites are a comfortable choice when you want privacy without booking more space than you need. Both the Pelican Suite and Flamingo Suite offer a bedroom, a full kitchen, a living area, and a sleeper sofa for added flexibility.

Choose the Pelican Suite for a classic oceanfront stay

The Pelican Suite is a natural fit for couples, solo travelers, or a small family that wants an easy home base near the beach.

The bedroom gives you a quiet place to recharge, while the sleeper sofa makes it possible to accommodate additional guests. During the day, the living area becomes your place to read, plan the next outing, or watch the waves while someone prepares lunch in the kitchen.

It’s simple, comfortable, and practical, especially if your ideal getaway includes plenty of time outside the suite.

Think:

• Couples who want a little more room than a hotel room

• Solo travelers who enjoy a full kitchen and separate living space

• Small families looking for a flexible sleeping arrangement

• Beach lovers who want to stay just steps from the water

Choose the Flamingo Suite for deck time and walkable convenience

The Flamingo Suite is another inviting 1-bedroom option, especially appealing to couples or small families who enjoy having a private deck and a king bedroom.

It’s located on the second floor and is reached by one flight of stairs, so keep that in mind when planning. Its ocean view is less direct than the front-facing suites, making it a good match for guests who value the private outdoor space and easy access to Flagler Beach more than an unobstructed straight-on panorama.

Morning Coffee on the deck. A sandy stroll to the pier. Dinner somewhere nearby, followed by a breezy walk home...

That’s the Flamingo rhythm.

The 2-bedroom Sea Turtle Suite: room for families and two couples

Need separate bedrooms but don’t quite need the scale of a penthouse?

The Sea Turtle Suite is the middle ground: spacious enough for a small family or two couples, while still feeling easy and comfortable for a shorter beach stay.

With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, this layout offers a little more privacy at the end of the day. The living room sleeper sofa adds flexibility, and the full kitchen makes meals much easier when everyone’s schedule is slightly different.

One person wants breakfast early. Someone else is still sleeping. The kids are ready for snacks. A couple wants to bring back takeout and eat by the window.

No problem.

The Sea Turtle is a smart choice for:

• Families with children who need separate sleeping space

• Two couples traveling together

• Friends who want shared living space and individual bedrooms

• Guests planning a longer stay with more room to spread out

Did I mention the laundry? Free on-site laundry is especially helpful for families, beach towels, and anyone packing light. Saltwater, sunscreen, sand... it all adds up. Having laundry nearby means you can refresh swimsuits and towels without giving up precious beach time.

The 3-bedroom Dolphin Penthouse: the choice for maximum room

Traveling with a multi-generation family? Bringing a group of friends? Want everyone under one roof, with room to gather and room to retreat?

Meet the Dolphin Penthouse.

This two-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath suite is Bombora’s largest layout, and it’s made for travelers who want space without giving up the oceanfront setting.

The Penthouse gives larger groups the breathing room they need:

• Three bedrooms

• Two bathrooms

• A full kitchen

• Generous living and dining space

• Ocean views from both levels

• A sleeper sofa for additional flexibility

One upstairs bedroom includes an ensuite bath, while another offers bunk-style sleeping that can work especially well for children. Families can gather for dinner, then spread out when the day winds down. Friends can share stories in the living room, while someone slips upstairs for a quiet moment with the view.

This is the suite for:

• Multi-generation family vacations

• Larger families with children

• Friend groups traveling together

• Longer stays where extra living space matters

• Guests who want the biggest, breeziest Bombora experience

How to choose the right suite

Still deciding? Here’s the quick version:

Choose a 1-bedroom suite if...

You’re traveling as a couple, solo traveler, or small family and want a cozy layout with a full kitchen, sleeper sofa, and separate bedroom.

• Pelican: Choose it for a straightforward oceanfront stay with flexible sleeping space.

• Flamingo: Choose it for a king bedroom and private deck, provided one flight of stairs and a less-direct ocean view work for your plans.

Choose the Sea Turtle Suite if...

You need two bedrooms and two bathrooms but prefer a comfortable, practical layout rather than the scale of a penthouse.

Perfect for small families, two couples, or friends who want both shared space and privacy.

Choose the Dolphin Penthouse if...

You want the most room possible. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two levels, generous common areas, and sweeping ocean views make it the natural choice for larger families and groups.

In other words:

• Couple or solo traveler? Start with a 1-bedroom.

• Small family or two couples? Look at Sea Turtle.

• Multi-generation family or friend group? Dolphin Penthouse.

• Want private deck time? Consider Flamingo.

• Want the most direct, dramatic oceanfront setting? Compare the front-facing suite details carefully when you explore the available suites.

The location makes every suite feel easier

Whichever layout you choose, Bombora puts you close to the best parts of a Flagler Beach getaway.

The dune walk-over is directly in front of the property, so getting from your suite to the sand is wonderfully simple. No long drive. No loading everyone into the car. No hauling beach gear blocks down the road.

Just steps from the beach.

When you’re ready for dinner, drinks, Ice Cream, or a slow walk along the shoreline, Flagler Pier and the town’s restaurants, bars, and cafés are all within walking distance.

And when you return? There’s the shared ocean-side patio. A relaxed place for morning Coffee, an afternoon pause, or evening cocktails while the Atlantic rolls in.

Make yourself at home. Let the beach set the pace.
