About this property

Newly renovated 2 bedroom, 2 bath resort condo. 150' giant waterslide!

Welcome to “A Place At The Beach III”, Atlantic Beach’s premier vacation resort! In addition to the beautiful, wide, white sand beach and gorgeous views, enjoy numerous amenities (outlined below) included at no additional charge at this family-friendly complex.
'Lorna Dune' is a third floor 2 BR/2 BA unit with ocean and sound views from the deck. The master bedroom features a queen bed, a private bathroom and private entrance to the balcony. The second (front) bedroom has large, sturdy bunk beds (full over queen with stairs instead of a ladder). Six can sleep comfortably in this unit.

A fully-equipped kitchen has a full-size washer and dryer, new cabinets and quartz countertops. The former wet bar in the living area is now a workstation with new cabinet, quartz countertop and electrical outlets with USB ports. Free wireless broadband internet is provided.

A Place At The Beach III offers more amenities than any other resort on the Crystal Coast. The oceanfront location of the resort allows immediate access to the beach without crossing any streets. The large outdoor pool offers a wade-in area for toddlers as well as the only giant water slide in Atlantic Beach. A central courtyard also features an updated kid's playground and a large grassy area as well as outdoor charcoal grills. An indoor pool with hot tub and a deck with gas grills are only a few steps from this unit. The resort also includes lighted tennis courts, cornhole, shuffleboard, 9-hole mini-golf course, ping-pong table (all necessary sports equipment included), and an outdoor hot tub. An on-site store offers beach bicycles and movies for rent, as well as convenience items. Knowledgeable resort staff are on the premises to help with any questions you may have.

The surrounding area offers lots of additional attractions. Morehead City and Beaufort are a short drive away, and beautiful, historic Fort Macon State Park is within walking distance. The beautiful NC aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is about a 15 minute drive. Surf, pier, and charter fishing (inlet and deep sea) is available year round. Fresh local seafood is served at many nearby restaurants and fish markets. Grocery stores, shopping centers and a movie cinema are all within a few minutes drive.

Come stay at our fun, comfortable and well-appointed home away from home. You’ll be glad you did!

Awesome Getaway!

Owner communicated clearly well in advance so we knew what to expect on our arrival! Our stay exceeded our expectations. The amenities of this resort provided much fun and relaxation - which was needed beyond words. We enjoyed relaxing on-site but took a quick ride into Beaufort for some amazing dining, and of course a ferry trip to see the Shackleford Ponies. We will definitely consider renting this particular unit again! The condo was well stocked and comfortable!!

Wonderful stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Victoria’s place. I’ve stayed at many rentals at A Place at the Beach and this is by far the nicest one. Everything is so nice and you can clearly tell it has been recently renovated. All the beds were super comfortable and my kids LOVED the bunk beds. Condo is in a great location to the indoor/outdoor pool and you have a view from the ocean from the balcony. This quickly became our favorite unit to stay in. We will be back!

A mini vacation at Atlantic Beach

This property was exactly as described online. It was clean and comfortable, and perfectly arranged for our family of four. The mattresses were super comfortable. Both the pool and the beach were just a short walk away. The best part was how well stocked the rental was. Linens, coffee filters, soaps and detergents- everything was provided and we just needed to show up. Made our mini vacation super easy!

Wonderful Condo

We had a excellent vacation. Our girls loved the large bunk beds and the stairs had enough storage to put their things in. The fan in the room was nice since they are used to sleeping with one. Only wish was that there was a nightlight in that room. The bathrooms were great and a good amount of towels. We loved there were some card games, movies and sand toys. Very thankful for the washer and dryer and the patio furniture was really nice! Thank you for allowing us to stay !

Wonderful place

Even tho we only stayed one night it was great. We were really bummed that the pool closed at 7, and then the indoor pool/hot tub was closed bc of vandalism apparently. I wish we would've known that we were all looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub. Over all it was a wonderful place!!

We LOVE the Lorna Dune

Our family loves staying at Lorna Dune and APATB. No matter the weather, there is always something to do at the resort. My husband and I needed a cool and dreary day Sunday to just relax and chill in the condo and later in the hot tub. The rest of the week was amazing with weather so we enjoyed the entertainment at the outdoor pool and fun on the beach. We can't wait to be back next year!

Amazing vacation

The condo was clean and nicely decorated. The updated bathrooms were nice. The kitchen was well stocked and the Keurig machine was a great amenity to have. The views of the ocean from the kitchen and deck were a plus. The check in and check out process was very easy. We have stayed at other condos at the resort previously and this was by far the best one of all. We would stay here again. The only small issue we had was the master bedroom cable box didn’t work.

WONDERFUL STAY!

We enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Victoria's Lorna Dune condo. Everything was decorated nicely, super clean and very accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked and having a washer and dryer in the unit was a HUGE blessing. We were a big fan of the comfy sectional sofa since it was a roomy enough for all of us to sit comfortably and spread out. The location of the condo was super close to the elevators for unloading as well as a very quick access to the pool and the beach. A Place At The Beach is an awesome property and super great for families with kids. We love the family friendly environment and will be coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Benson

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Victoria and this is my husband, Dennis! I'm from North Carolina and I've been vacationing in the Atlantic Beach area for all of my adult life. When my daughter, Lorna, was very young I decided to invest in a condo at our favorite resort, A Place At The Beach III. I have never regretted this decision; my family has enjoyed our home away from home so very much. Great memories, wonderful times!

Why they chose this property

A Place At The Beach III simply has the best amenities of any resort on the Crystal Coast. The grounds are beautifully kept and the beach is wide, white and all you could ask for. If you want something to do or see there are literally countless options, but there is still a hometown feel to the area, which is not as commercialized as some others are. This resort is family-friendly and I do feel very safe here, as the security on the property is vigilant but not overbearing.

What makes this property unique

The condo is my pride and joy! It is newly upgraded and completely renovated. There are many fine restaurants and things to do in the area. I particularly enjoy the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and visiting Fort Macon. Such beautiful views! My husband loves to fish in the surf at Fort Macon. Beaufort is a lovely little historic town to poke around in to see the sights and eat great seafood and ice cream. A chartered boat ride to Shackleford banks to see the wild ponies is always a highlight. The list goes on and on...
