This was a lovely space and the bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed and you could see the ocean from our room. It was an excellent space for the cost. We definitely plan to return.

Very clean, check in was easy. Right on the beach. Only thing that we noticed was the parking may be tight with a larger vehicle but as long as everyone parks where they're supposed to it shouldn't be a problem. Other than that which wasn't an issue for us everything was great.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was great. The property says that 6 to 8 people could stay in the apartment but that is not true. Only 5 could actually stay. We messaged the host multiple times about the AC not working in a couple rooms and got no response. The balcony/sitting area was unsafe. The parking area is also a disaster. So pay a cleaning fee but the property isn’t clean at all. There is a washer and dryer on the property but is downstairs. You have to do your laundry outside and you have to pay for it also. Very Disappointing.

Great location & view

We really enjoyed our time here at Crescent beach. This unit is small but worked for the 4 of us with the sofa futon, although would be more comfortable with just 3 people. It had everything we needed & had a quick easy access to the beach. Nice short drive to the inlet which was perfect to take the dogs to & convenient to lots of places. The only suggestion is that the railing next to the stairs be fixed since it was loose.

Nice place to stay on the beach

Our trip was very nice, we especially enjoyed being right on the beach. The apartment was very clean and had plenty of space for the three of us. It was on the second floor so if you have trouble climbing stairs, I would keep that in mind. Angela happened to be there one day that we were there, and she was very nice, easy to talk to. Our communication thru the process was great. Overall a nice place to stay.

The unit was extremely clean and very well equiped with essentials. The location is terrific, close to a very good little Pizza place named Tony's pizza....And of course, right on the beach! Interior of the condo has been fully updated & everything felt fresh and clean. We would definitely stay here again & highly recommend.

Quiet Beach

We stayed for a long weekend and really appreciated the quiet -dog friendly- beach for walking in the morning and evening. There were also beach views from the living room at the right angle. The location was clean and had pretty much everything we needed (We had to buy a coffee maker- but we left it for the next visitor). Parking was easy, but you do need a car because there are not sidewalks and there’s not much right there except a gas station and beach restaurant with limited fresh options. We were a bit surprised that the porch shown in the photos is shared with another unit, but the other visitors were respectful of taking turns using the space. Overall, a quiet and fairly affordable beach stay!

Our week at Sand Castle Apts

Property was right on the beach with beautiful views. After arriving we found out that there was major construction going on in an adjoinning apartment. There was alot of noise and workers present. We felt that we should have been told in advance about the construction and given the opportunity to reschedule or change the dates. After talking to the host we reached a comprise. The last 3 days we truly enjoyed our stay. Would stay again without the construction.

Loved our stay!

This 2 bedroom condo is right on the beach and a quick walk to either a restaurant or the Circle K. It's clean, modern and comfortable. I would stay here again and recommend to small families looking for affordable beachfront condos. The owner was quick to respond to me whenever I messaged her. Loved it!

Place on the beach

This is a simple place on the beach with a shared balcony view of the water. The place is appropriate for 4 people. There truly is one bedroom and the other is part of the living space and kitchen. The futon sofa would be uncomfortable for an extended stay. We had an unpleasant neighbor to deal with but the management dealt with them efficiently. The management is very helpful. Would recommend a washer and dryer access - although there are laundromats that will clean and fold your laundry. Loved Crescent Beach.
