RARE OCEANFRONT CONDO W/ PANORAMIC OCEAN & SUNSET VIEW_PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS_WiFi

Welcome to the HIDDEN GEM of Atlantic Beach! Originally the Captain's Bridge Motel in the 1970s, the interior of this PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEW UNIT has been fully renovated into a CLEAN Stylish Modern Condo in 2019. One of only two units in the building DIRECTLY facing the ocean and the only unit with OCEAN, SUNSET, & POOL VIEWS! Please see the aerial photo that indicates the unit location and the close proximity to the beach. Walk across the lawn through our PRIVATE GAZEBO to access a SECLUDED beach perfect for peaceful strolls, shelling, and sunbathing!

The interior of the building has been fully renovated into a stylish modern condo in 2019. It is furnished with a comfortable queen size bed, full size sofa sleeper, kitchenette w/ appliances, custom tile shower, SMART TV, and WiFi. PRIME OCEANFRONT LOCATION! Panoramic Ocean Views directly from your unit! Enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine on the wraparound shared balcony seating area or walk to either of the two Gazebos to feel the Fresh Ocean Breeze. Perfect for couples, singles, and families with small children. An Outdoor Pool, 3 Charcoal BBQ Grills, 2 Gazebos, and a fish cleaning station are available to guests.

NOTE: This unit's shower has been remodeled. We elected to provide a full size shower and due to space considerations we took out the bathroom vanity. The kitchen sink serves as the only sink in the unit. We have found this an appropriate use of the space, however we want to make sure our guests are aware and comfortable with the layout of the unit prior to booking.

There is no daily maid service but towel swap outs can be arranged for $10 upon request (paid directly to the cleaning service). There is a coin operated laundry room on site for longer stay guests.

Many local eateries/shops are within walking distance. Dollar General is right across the street and Food Lion is just a mile away. Additional restaurants, a movie theater, and a shopping center are a short drive away.

Perfect getaway for a romantic weekend, or a family retreat ...watch dolphins splash from the oceanside gazebo ... don’t miss the sunset over the ocean waves .... stroll the sandy beach ... build a sandcastle with the kids ... surf cast for one of the many varieties of fish in our ocean waters ... watch surfers hang ten.... Jet-ski or Parasail ... take a jog, or ride your bike on the new Atlantic Beach bike trail ... feel the wind through your hair on the new Cape Lookout ferry... check out the wild Spanish ponies of Shackleford Banks.... take the kids to the new Atlantic Beach recreation park... and don't forget the fantastic NC Aquarium!

Suitability:
-Perfect for couples.
-Max occupancy 3 adults, or 2 adults-2 small children.

Great location everything you need

Great job renovating. Very clean, everything you need. Loved looking at the ocean from the in room table. Missed having a deck that some larger condos have but the gazebo was a great place for morning coffee. Excellent location with great food nearby.

Almost a Five

Great access to the beach, close to a number of restaurants and Atlantic Beach attractions, large shower, condo window view of the water, ample towels for two, clean, adequately stocked, and a quiet spot in mid-May. There are a lot of positives but it’s equally important to recognize the condo has its limitations. The unit is the size of a small motel room with the bed tucked in a corner giving you only one side to exit or requiring you to get out at the end of the bed. There is no sink in the bathroom. The dehumidifier needed to be emptied regularly. The fan/light over the bed is missing one chain so you could not operate the two functions independently. All in all, this Atlantic Beach unit worked for us, as a couple, for a short 3 night reservation.

Oceanfront room

This was my second year staying at Ocean Sands through this rental company. The room was nice! It was just me so the smaller bathroom wasn’t a huge deal. I loved having the view of the ocean from my room! Always an easy check in and check out process.

Everything You Need

The pictures are spot on however it is not possible to have privacy and the views. It’s one or the other. Folks from other occupied units have to walk past both the windows to access theirs so the window coverings must be pretty much closed. The location is great! The beach is not crowded, The beach access is well done. There’s plenty of lawn, an outdoor rinse spot. the pool looked good but we opted for the ocean. Great restaurants nearby. Everything works in the unit. Plenty of hot water and a good size shower. The linens were clean. The unit could have used a more detailed cleaning/turnover but overall, not terrible. We enjoyed our stay and will be back to Atlantic Beach.

We loved this particular spot. It was really one of the best from what we could see.

A couple of issues for us. There were no hooks for hanging coats, etc. That would have been good. Also a dark curtain for the front window by the door to completely block out the 3 outside lights. Also the sanitizing substances used and the cleaning and laundry products used, created a truly toxic entry to our stay. We really suffered from the extent of the smell and the feeling in our bodies. Please consider using non-toxic cleaning materials. It would also have been good if there was a window we could open as it was stuffy often in the apt. We could have used the AC but it is nice to open a window when there is a lovely wind blowing into the apt. Otherwise it was a lovely place to stay. Thank you.

Steps from the beach, perfect for couples!

The condo was perfect, nothing bigger than a hotel room, but when you are that close to the beach, you don’t need a bigger place to stay! Just an FYI to future guests, there is no bathroom sink, you use the kitchen sink for hand washing, brushing teeth or cleaning up outside the shower. The shower was nice and big and updated with shampoo and body wash for use. Plenty of bathroom towels.

Can't beat the location

The place is right on the beach and has a great view of the ocean. Can't beat that. It is tiny, no-frills, and a bit out-of-date, so it won't be for everyone. If 1-2 people just want a functional place with easy beach access, though, they won't do much better than this.

Great rental, terrible futon.

We loved this apt. Although very small, it was fine for what we needed. Very clean, quiet, great view and proximity to the beach. *BUT* the futon was NOT the one in the photo. It was uncomfortable to sit on and terrible to sleep on. When opened, it literally slanted down to the floor. I even took pictures to have proof of this. It was right out of a cruddy thrift shop and was really disappointing, considering how great everything else was. Hopefully you will consider replacing it with something a lot better.

Nice location

Location was great. We didn’t enjoy the view much from the room because of all of the foot traffic of others walking by. The shower is very nice but no bathroom vanity or sink is an issue. It feels wrong to brush your teeth in a kitchen sink. No place for my husband to shave. Would be nice to have a mirror in the shower since the only mirror is beside the futon. The biggest issue we had was the lights shining through the blinds all night. Blackout drapes would be nice. I wish I had read reviews before booking. The photos are slightly misleading, in my opinion.

Cute little condo with a great view

The owners were easy to work with and were very attentive to our needs. The pictures on the website are out of date. They put in a beautiful huge shower but at the expense of a mirror and vanity sink in the bathroom. You need to use the kitchen sink to brush your teeth. They put the mirror on the wall next to the futon and it was not easy to put makeup on or contacts in. I think if a shelf could be put under the mirror and better lighting next to the mirror it would help. The views were gorgeous and the condo size was perfect for the two of us. Overall, we loved our stay and would stay at this condo again.
