The upgrades, cleanliness, ease of checking in and out, prompt responses from the owner, amenities and so close to the beach are why we returned this year! All of it made for an absolutely fabulous week!!!

Place is very nice and close access to the pool and beach.

WE had everything we needed for our stay. A heads up from our host on how things worked at the condo helped my family and I respect it and leave it in the same condition we found it. Brian was a great host, easy to contact and communicate with. Thank You Brian!

The property itself was familiar to us, as we have stayed before. Great pool and other amenities! Easy walk to beach from the condo down their boardwalk. But the unit itself is outstanding! It has obviously been updated recently-kitchen surfaces’are beautiful, furniture and decor are lovely and comfortable. My husband probably could have slept in the recliner, it was so comfy! These units are very standard and much like beach condos everywhere, so the finishing touches make it stand out. This unit is on the lower floor and near access to parking which made unloading easy. It also made it easy to get to the beach and pool from the unit. Admittedly, there is only a limited view of the sea over the dunes, but the rest of the condo made up for this unavoidable position. The owner sent us very detailed instructions about the unit, including the operation of the televisions which are often a pain at strange place! Also detailed labeling in the condo was so helpful-I love a labeled light switch! The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. There were beach chairs and other helpful beach items in the condo, it makes it so easy! We loved our stay, and the only thing we didn’t like was leaving! We will stay again.

My kids loved the slide at the pool. The host was kind and courteous. The condo was clean and comfortably furnished

Very disappointed. Cheaply done unit. Like a poorly appointed bachelor pad. Inferior quality, worn furniture. Different couches than photos. Cheap mattresses. Awful sheets; thin, scratchy, no elastic. Stained comforter & pillows. 100% polyester on kid beds. Extra blankets ripped & stained. Gross carpets; greasy-looking, matted in the high traffic areas. Dreadful kitchen equipment. Just one knife; could not cut a carrot. Two tiny cutting boards Scratched pans covered in white film. Not enough dishes. Filthy placemats & hazy glasses. Useless dishwasher that needs sanitizing & cleaning. Had to wash everything by hand after dishwasher. Stinky washing machine - our clothes smelled moldy after. Dirty shower floor - hadn't been scrubbed in ages. The place was just not clean. Rez included a hefty cleaning fee. No way there's that much cleaning happening. Lack of thoughtfulness. Too few hangers; no towel hooks. Big fake plant instead of nightstand. What?! Sunlight and hallway lights (24 hrs) blast into the bedrooms. Reviewers mentioned need for blackout shades, but owner hasn’t fixed it. Seems this isn't a beloved family place but rather a quick buck scheme. We paid for 4 nts. The rez cost was NOT worth it. Great location next to the beach & pool. Otherwise, a letdown. Shocked at good reviews. We own a vacation rental and know what it takes to make it great. This is not it. Booked for 4 nights but left after 3. Unit detracted from enjoyment; all agreed we'd rather go home.

Very responsive property manager. The perfect condo for a family!

Perfect location!! Had all that we needed to be comfortable!! Two suggestions…1.) keyless entry into unit 2.) Light blocking curtains in main bedroom

The location is wonderful. The sleeping arrangements work for our family. The host Brian great and helpful. The staff in the office very helpful. There are pros and cons to the property. The pros are outstanding the one con is the carpet is old BUT. We already booked this property for the 3rd year because we love this unit. Thanks Brian.

We've stayed at "A Place At The Beach" several times, but this particular unit was so close to the beach. It was clean and spacious for the two of us.

We had a fabulous time! Brian was so responsive and great with questions and comments!! Loves how close to the beach we were!! Great place!

The property was as advertised with all the amenities in the description. 9 hole mini golf, pools, water slide, outside grill. Quick access to the pool/beach and ground level. The beach and pool are nice. The room was uncomfortable to put it politely. The furniture is wore out and broke and impossible to sit on. We found ourselves sitting on the floor for most of the trip. The beds are comfortable but the master bedroom is like sleeping in a fishbowl. Light from the windows and sliding glass door make it impossible to sleep past sunrise. So bring a sleep mask as blackout curtains won’t help as there is no place to hang them. The sink sprayer was filthy with mildew all over the nozzle. My son tried to turn it on and it sprayed all over. The towels had a cigarette smell in them. The front door is difficult to open with the provided key. (A combo lock would be helpful) The free wifi is terrible, always kicking you off and having to put in the password every time you close your phone or device. The room is dated and in need of updates/repairs. The owner was very responsive and I’m sure this review won’t be taken well but it’s the truth that we experienced the week we’re there. Lovely area and helpful friendly staff on property. We will not be returning.

We enjoyed our stay. This is a great location…very close to the beach and indoor/outdoor pool. Our only minor complaint is the lack of curtains. It was very bright in the morning.

Enjoyed vacation

The condo is located on first floor close to the parking lot. No ocean view. Its an easy walk to the beach on the wooden board walk. The beach is great. The outdoor pool looked very nice but unfortunately it was closed. If we had known in time we might have made a different decision to stay. We did not cook any meals during our stay but the kitchen seemed to have everything needed. The living room furniture needs to be replaced. The couch is completely worn out. Overall a great place to stay. The owner was great to work with.

A Place on the Beach has great amenities for families. The unit was convenient to the beach and very clean. We would definitely come again.

So good, we rebooked for next year.

This condo was perfect for us. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. It was also close to the inside hot tub, which was very nice. The only drawback was that the TVs were not “Smart TVs” and could not “link” us with out streaming services.

A very confortable place.

Had to leave early with hurricane soon to arrive but enjoyed a short stay.

I arrived at 5:00 pm on Friday. Office was closed. Need to change check in times during the week.

Everything in the listing was an accurate description! Communication with the owner was quick and easy! Great size place for a beach trip, comfy beds, plenty of little extras! Favorite thing=proximity and ease to get to the beach. Least favorite thing=pullout mattress was hard to sleep on. Would definitely stay again, thanks!

This condo was perfect for our long weekend away. The condo was clean and well appointed, just as pictured online. The owner was very responsive to requests and provided many details on how the condo works. The size and location of the condo was great for us and especially the kids because we were so close to the pool and beach. The kids LOVED the water slide. Thanks for a great stay, we will be back!

Everything was wonderful.

Very clean. Great for my small family. Kids had a great vacation. Would definitely stay again.

Location is great with the private beach, great pool, basketball, putt putt, grills, etc. Close to everything. This unit has plenty of space for our group. Hot water for showers was adequate. Apartment size in-unit washer and dryer was a plus. Bluetooth speaker was great. First floor was awesome. We're already talking about next year! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay. The room was perfect for our family of 4! Close access to parking lot, pool and beach! Great room!!

Had a great week and a fun time with family. Great service and will be back next year

We have been going to A Place at the Beach for our summer vacation for the past eleven years. We always have a great time.

Nice place for a family vacation. Kids really enjoyed the pool with the slide. Plenty of space to prepare meals for the family. Location was great and was close to multiple things we enjoy doing while on vacation in emerald isle. Had a slight hiccup with after hours check in and found some dishes put away that were not clean (no fault of the owner as they ask for guests to ensure dishes are cleaned and put away prior to check out for the next occupant). Thanks for allowing us to stay at your place Brian! ☺️

The condo, while not beach view, is in great location on the property. Easy access to beach and pool- and for carrying in luggage and groceries! Kids LOVED amenities! Condo has everything you need! Would definitely recommend!!!

We loved our stay! Good, timely communication and the condo was very comfortable for our family of four. We enjoyed our time-- the proximity to the beach, waterslide and other amenities was wonderful. We'd recommend to others looking for a relaxing beach vacation.
