Atlantic Beach

The condo is beautiful and extremely well equipped. There was plenty of towels and supplies available. The kitchen and bathrooms had more than enough necessary articles. This was the best stocked place I have ever rented. The hostess went beyond expectations in making us comfortable with all the requirements and rules of the condo rental. Directions for travel and what to do were available as well as suggestions for places to see and eat. Our hostess was prompt in contacting us with entry instructions and how to access the premise. This was by far the most simple and best communication I have ever had in all my rental endeavors. I highly recommend it!

Excellent Room

Absolutely nothing to complain about in this room! We have stayed in quite a few rooms and this room was by far the most amazing room we have stayed in at Sand Villas. When I say fully stocked...it was fully stocked!!! Extra trash bags, paper towels, dish soap, washing powder,toilet paper. There was so many extra items. Made it easy to relax the first day and not have to run out to the store. The kitchen was fully stocked as well. This room felt like home. It was well kept, renovated and such a beautiful room. Beds slept great. Kathleen was a joy to work with. She answered all my questions promptly. Definitely will recommend this room because it was an amazing room!!!

Lovely Condo

We have been staying at the Sands for 14 years and we have never stayed in a unit as nice as this one. The owners' renovations are indeed as lovely as the pictures. The unit is well stocked and well maintained and Kathleen, the owner, was wonderful. She was in touch with us before, during, and after our stay to make sure everything was in order and we enjoyed our time there - which we definitely did!

My husband and I recently visited and we had a great stay. The condo was in a great location on the property and the condo had everything we needed plus the owner was super helpful. The double sinks and full kitchen were definitely a plus for us. Also, the beach was not over crowded vs other places we have stayed.

Delightful Stay

Kathleen was very responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and enjoyable. She gave us access to her storage area that had everything we could need to enjoy the beach (wagon, chairs, shibumi, boogie boards). The condo location is nice and quiet, at least in early June, and was very clean. Found some rare shells, but unfortunately not 1 single shark tooth! 100% recommend this property and would definitely consider coming back.

Family Holiday Weekend

Our family of five stayed comfortably for three nights at the end of May. We were pleasantly surprised that the actual space was better than the pictures. Our friends, who also stayed in the complex, were envious of the unit. Everything is updated and clean. The owner is responsive and friendly. The beds are comfortable, everything works, and it feels warm and inviting. We liked it so much that we automatically booked another stay.

Great stay!

We had an awesome stay - the condo is clean, modern, well stocked, and in a beautiful location with easy access to the beach. Kathleen was super responsive and always willing to help. There was a little more setup/cleanup than expected (making the beds upon arrival, running and emptying dishwasher before checkout, washing/drying used beach towels), but the check-in and check-out process was otherwise seamless. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Carswell

Host profile image
This condo belongs to my dad, my sister, and me. We live in Durham, NC and enjoy coming to the beach with family and friends on the weekends, holidays, or during the summer. I grew up coming here with my parents and sister since age 3 and have always valued my time here with them. We have enjoyed renovating our condo together in recent years.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought this condo when I was 5. We always loved coming to Atlantic Beach before we finally bought this place. Atlantic Beach has a lot to offer in the way of indoor and outdoor activities, but it's also a more private, smaller beach in comparison to the larger, commercial beaches. There is ALWAYS ample space on the beaches and plenty to do even here on site.

What makes this property unique

Our condominium features a large, open field for sports, playground, indoor and outdoor pool, tennis courts, basketball goal, gas and charcoal grills, sauna, hot tub, and fitness center. As a child, I also LOVED the indoor pool feature, as we would come down at all times throughout the year, and I could usually always entice my mom to take me by saying, "You can relax in the hot tub while I play!" :)

Some of my favorite things to do here now include enjoying a cup of coffee on the patio early in the morning, grilling out with my dad, long walks on the beach, and eating at some of my favorite local eateries.
