AB weekend

Great spot for the family. We had everything we needed during our stay and were very comfortable. The balcony was a fabulous feature for morning coffee and nap time hang outs. The kitchen was fabulously stocked with everything we needed and then some. Perfect for our family of four.

Great location

A great location, quick communication and very nice beach access. Unfortunately the unit was not very clean which makes it hard with 2 small children (sand all over the floors, sand inside of and all around the washer and dryer, dirty/stained seating). Could really use a good deep clean to help make guest more comfortable.

Well-located Condo with Easy Beach Access

We enjoyed our visit-the condo is well-located, close to many restaurants and shops and the bridge toward Morehead City and Beaufort. Within the complex, it is the closest building to the beach, so it provided quick and easy access. The beach was lively but not too crowded and the pool for the complex was clean and not crowded at all. The master bath looks to have been an addition to the original floor plan and is fairly cramped. The prefab shower was very tight and hard to contain water spray. Kitchen was fine but not well-lit, so cooking elaborate meals might be a bit challenging. It worked for breakfasts and lunch, though! Overall, we had a great trip!

Awesome place to stay

This condo is decorated so well. It immediately felt like home. Very clean and updated. Quiet spot if you are looking for a more chill vacation. Other than the cloudy weather everything was great. Only note I would make is that the bed was a bit soft so if you don’t like soft mattresses you might not sleep well in the main bedroom. Would definitely stay there again. And the property manager was great when I got there and had a question.. took care of me immediately!

Restless

We have actually rented this condo twice…. However, it could be our last. The location is great but this time the place had a funky smell and it might be time for a new mattress. The master bed is extremely squishy…. Not comfortable at all.

My husband and three year old daughter stayed at this property with another couple and their child for a friend’s getaway! The condo was super cute, clean and perfect for our needs. We enjoyed having the kitchen to cook breakfast and prepare lunches for out on the beach! We would definitely stay here again!

Great Location

The unit is in the building closest to the beach and very close to one of the pools. It was so convenient. There are stairs with no elevator so keep this in mind if it is important to you. The unit had everything we needed. The master shower/bathroom is very small and there isn't a closet in the master but the king size bed is nice. The bedrooms each have a TV along with one in the living room. The property manager was very attentive. There is security at the entrance to the property so there aren't unwanted guests.

Very nice place

We loved everything about this place. The only thing I wish they had was handicapped accessibility. It was difficult getting my son up and down the stairs. The condo was so nice and had everything we needed already there. The washer and dryer was a life saver. The location and access to the beach was very nice. The owners were wonderful and we had an amazing trip. Will definitely be back!

Relaxing couples getaway at the beach

We all enjoyed our stay at this condo. It is very close to the beach. We could see and hear the ocean from our balcony but the sand dunes also gave us privacy. Both beds were very comfortable and with a king and queen perfect for 2 coup,es. We cooked several meals at the condo and it was well stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely stay at this condo again

Long Needed Beach Getaway

Location - Could not have picked a better location. It was as everything as advertised. Great beach and easy access. Cleanliness - Walked into a straightened, but uncleaned apartment/condo. Tracy, the property manager, was superb and we were able to resolve the situation fairly quickly. However, after a 7 hour drive, an unkept place remains a lasting disappointment. Property Manager - Fantastic. Very communicative and professional. Pests - We did have a fairly few bugs and cockroaches we had to stamp out. Apartment needs upkeep- After multiple use, you can visibly see the wear and tear it is taking on the place. Shower curtain rods and bar chairs are rusted, The shower curtain itself is molding over. Screen door to the balance is coming off the its track. Yearly maintenance before beach season is a must for the owner. Key Code door - great idea especially if you want to take nothing to the beach, but there is nothing to assure the individual is locked in from the other side. Would consider adding a bolted lock as add measure.
