We loved that the property is (really and truly) within walking distance to the beach. What is an extra plus is the beach was not crowded...down by the multi-story hotels the beaches are super crowded...this area is mostly crowd free. There is also a beautiful swimming pool on the property.The room is like a tiny apartment...actually, I could live there forever. All the linens were very nice, crisp, and clean. The kitchen area is well stocked for those wishing to cook and dine in. Coffee pot. Microwave. Soap. Shampoo. Hair dryer. Ceiling fans. Great air/con. There is a laundry room on the property...we did not use it. Happily the tiny closet has two beach chairs. We love, love, love the property and definitely will return.

Perfect Beach Getaway

This was a last minute vacation and hadn’t booked through VRBO before, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. Room was clean, any questions we had were answered promptly, and we loved it. The beach was beautiful and just steps away. With all the units in the complex we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. Had a wonderful time!

Great!

This was a clean room, location was wonderful! My only issue was that the picture of the room I thought I booked didn't have a futon....I don't think. My husband has a bad hip and had issues and we thought we would have a couch instead. Not a big issue, and I should have included that was necessary in my note when I booked. Communication with the owner was great, easy process checking in and out. Would definitely stay again! Thanks for a great experience for our first time at Atlantic Beach, NC😊

Perfect Getaway

This space is perfect for a quiet getaway. The building is located right on the beach, yet there’s minimal traffic. The area was quaint and quiet, the unit was spotless upon arrival. We spent Thanksgiving there and had everything we needed to cook our meals. Communication with Nick was seamless and he was always prompt. If you’re looking for a laid back place to get away ans recharge, this place is surely it.

Perfect for couple or small family

At one of our favorite beaches, this property was motel room size, but that didn’t hinder our family of 3 at all. Storage was the only thing that was a little tricky, we did unpack, and used the cabinets built in to what looks like used to be a closet. Our only recommendation would be modify that area and add drawers and clothing storage. There is cabinet storage in the small kitchen. Parking right in front of door, easy walk with a loaded beach cart for a relaxing day on a quiet clean beach. (We had to lift it over a couple of small stairs to get over dunes) The pool looked nice and clean but we are such beach lovers that we didn’t even get in. The bathroom near the pool was a short trip from the beach that kept us from having to go back the room. We’ll definitely be back!

Great location

The decor was great, and you can’t beat the location! Beach access and quality was perfect for anyone, esp kids. It was well stocked, and the pool in good condition. However there was a strong musty smell, and while was nothing visible but I wasn’t confident it was mold-free. We did run the dehumidifier the whole time, which didn’t seem to help. I wanted to give this property a 5, but that smell needs to be addressed for the price.
