A Place at the Beach III

Not sure why people are giving this place the low reviews. I came here when I was a kid (30 years ago) and just started back last year. It is loved by my kids and they are excited to go back! I love being back after all of these years! Well worth it!

Did a Lot of work over the winter. The majority here are wholly owned with year round residents. This is a Great Family Beach Vacation Destination. Direct Ocean Access! ! !

Perfect for a family get away! The adults get to relax pool side or in the hot tub(s)! The kids get to swim in the ocean, indoor pool, outdoor pool, play basketball, tennis or shuffleboard.

We've been coming here for over 20 years with our kids and now our grandkids. For families, this spot is perfect. Its right on the beach, has a great pool for the kids, plus a nice open grassy area for them to play when its time to come off the beach. When it rains, there's even an indoor pool. As far as amenities, the resort also has a putt-putt course, tennis, basketball, and pickelball, and grills in the courtyard which we find very handy. The beach is fantastic and the proximity to Fort Macon, the NC Aquarium, and shops and restaurants is great. If you're looking for a world-class resort where your waited on hand and foot, this is not it. But, if you're looking for a family friendly spot for the family, I would highly recommend.

We own week 37 which is a week or two after Labor Day depending on the calendar. We have a 2 bedroom unit which has a washer and dryer in the unit. We have owned for 20 years. The weather has always been nice. It has everything to offer if you are looking for a family resort. Since hurricane Florence 2018 everything has been updated and they are in the process of building a new office. The beach is right there so you don't have to drive or walk across the street.

The perfect place for a family vacation. We have been going every summer for the past 4 years. Oceanfront resort with easy beach access and a great outdoor pool with a waterslide. Our kids spent 8 hours in the outdoor pool one windy day and had a blast! Mini golf is also on the premises and free. The rooms are not fancy, but comfortable. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Our family of 4 rented a one-bedroom unit this summer and had a great time! The furniture in the bedroom, other than the mattress, was a bit worn and the bathrooms needed a little TLC but there was nothing that would stop us from going there again. Having two full bathrooms was really nice. AND, I was told by the unit's owner that the one-bedroom units are getting gutted and remodeled this winter. The furniture and carpeting in the living room was already very nice. The kitchen was very narrow but my husband and I managed just fine and cooked a couple of dinners.

The unit can sleep 6 people but it was just the right size for 4 people. I think 6 would be too tight. There is the bedroom with a queen bed and the den had two twin beds with one being stored under the other. When both were in use, it was pretty tight but it didn't matter much.

Access to the beach was fantastic with boardwalks. They post a flag giving water conditions on the boardwalk which is nice especially when you have children to worry about when rip currents are likely. There were four showers, and four hoses I believe, on the boardwalk to rinse the sand and salt off before heading back to the unit. There is room in the hallways to put all your rinsed off beach gear too.

Low tide had tidal pools that let you see the smaller fish and mole crabs more easily. It was nice to sit in these pools. We had plenty of waves to jump at higher tides and none of them threatened to pulverize us. The children enjoyed the outdoor pool and its slide the most though.

There are just enough charcoal grills to use but the gas grills are really too inconvenient to get at if you're staying in the building with the 1-bedroom units. The picnic tables at the charcoal grills were in good condition and we enjoyed one dinner there.

If we get back to NC again next year, we'll choose this resort.
