Excellent birthday weekend

Adult daughter and I go to beach every year for my birthday. We usually go to Carolina Beach or Kure, but stayed here one other time but a different room. Loved the location, reasonable price, and quiet enjoyment. Will stay here again!

My girls and I had a wonderful stay. The unit was as described! The beach was steps away and had everything we needed. One suggestion, would be to have a broom so guests could sweep up after ourselves..I felt so bad for leaving stuff on the ground. I will definitely come here again if we come to the area!

Great little studio, just as advertised! Perfect size for 1-2 people. I used to live here years ago and came back for a quick visit so this place was perfect for just me. Super easy check-in process. Very clean quarters. Awesome amenities—loved the use of the beach chair and having a pool on site! I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect little beach getaway!

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Sands. Checkin was made easy by the email info- we got in late in the night, & the lockbox made it all seamless, thankfully 😅. We had two questions throughout our stay which were answered quickly through Venmo messages with the property manager. The owner even stopped by to make sure everything was resolved. The location is awesome for beach access, and tons of cool things to do are within driving distance- we had a very windy afternoon & went to the aquarium which was full of great exhibits & knowledgeable volunteers. Also, the room was well equipped with new beach chairs, new keurig style coffee maker, & plenty of cookware to make basic meals. We hope to come back soon! 🏖

Clean & equiped with all we needed. Just a short walk to beach...although the sand is quite deep!!

The place was clean & we’ll equiped & with lots of friendly folk. The pool needs some repair & perhaps supply umbrellas for pool area. The beach was perfect & within a short walk away. There’s a stretch of deep sand which is hard for the old & very young to navigate!! We didn’t get our instructional email until AFTER we had arrived & it made for a very frustrating 2 hours! And there was no one around to help us as the office is permanently closed. We finally figured out that the door was open & the keys were inside!! We really didn’t need the code to the lock box to get in. The owner or manager, I’m not sure which, did finally contact us & tried to make it right, which we appreciated. After that, everything went well. We found this to be a very nice place to stay!!

Wonderful

It was such a great relaxing spot on the beach. Everything was provided that you could think of, just bring your Family, Food, Clothes and beach toys. Our little family had such a wonderful time. We have stayed at Ocean Sands before the renovation and this was a breath of fresh air. We definitely will be booking again next year to have our annual family vacation. Can not beat it at all! Love Atlantic Beach and this little condo. If I could change one thing it would be the bed size, not used to a full size bed anymore. :)

Great beach getaway!

I was so thrilled to find such a good spot for a last-minute beach trip! This cozy condo is exactly as advertised and photographed- it's clean, bright, tranquil, and well-stocked. The owner is great to communicate with and very quick to respond, and makes sure you have all the info you need for a smooth check-in. Dishtowels, extra linens, hand soap and basic toiletries, tissues and papertowels- all those little extras I always forget to pack were there, too! I even spied some beach chairs and an umbrella in the closet, but I'd brought my own. The condo has a lovely dune view and is so convenient to the gazebo for beach access. No steps, and so closeby! The short, grassy walk to the beach is so nice and cool on your feet. Strong air conditioning and two ceiling fans keep you cool even when it's sweltering. The beachfront is wonderful- clean and uncrowded. The condo complex is very family-friendly, felt very safe and surprisingly quiet and relaxed for high season. I would happily return, and highly recommend this great spot!

Cozy, great price, great location

Great price for a great location. Overall the unit looked and felt clean. Based on other reviews we brought a small folding table which came in very handy. There is a clothesline in the shower but a drying rack would be useful too. No closet space but lots of drawers and cabinets to stash things away. Definitely a good size for two people, might be a little crowded with more. Bed is just full sized so may be small for a larger couple. Very convenient to Atlantic Beach and Morehead City for shopping and restaurants while retaining that secluded pristine beach feel.
