Can't beat the ocean views or beach access for this property. Very responsive host. Great shower.

We will be back to this exact unit. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway! We even asked and got to stay an extra night for half off. Host was excellent. We did not even use the bed in the back room. You have everything you need and more AND we saw Dolphins every morning. !This is our forever NC beach spot

Thank you Alan and Paige for our wonderful stay at By The Sea. The condo was so convenient. You are literally steps away from the beach and the parking lot. It was so easy to carry our luggage, groceries, etc to the condo. Last year we stayed in this same area, but was on the third floor. Shewww the steps were tuff for us. The condo was decorated so beautiful. There was even a little Coffee Bar area. The Rain Shower was sweeeeet too !!! No need to worry about remembering your access code to your condo, it's the last four numbers of the phone number your reservations were made with. "WOW" how nice is this. There are four "nice" beach chairs on the deck for your convenience to use. Speaking of the deck, it is absolutely awesome to be that close to the ocean. The Super Moon view was spectacular. We can't say enough about By The Sea. We loved our time at this beautiful condo.

Nice condo, very quiet and beautiful view of the ocean. So nice to walk right out on the beach. Definitely would rent again.

I love this part of the beach! The cozy space at By the Sea was perfect for the 2 of us! It might be a bit small with children but we loved it. The kitchen has nice appliances. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the ocean views from the deck, the living area, and even the kitchen table. Overall the space stayed cool in the July heat. However, the bathroom’s location made it steamy without leaving the door open during showers. Taking a small circulating fan would make a huge difference. Checkin was super easy! I would definitely recommend By the Sea!

Beach right at your backdoor! Nice condo with easy access to the beach. Enjoyed the ocean breeze at night from the deck. Nice rain shower with plenty of hot water! Good communication with owner. Will be a return customer!

We had a wonderful stay at By the Sea! There were concerns about the King Tide's effect on our visit, but were pleasantly surprised! We were able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the view at all hours and at high tide, the waves came to us! The shower was amazing, the bed comfortable, the kitchen super despite the size! The beach was not crowded, even at the busiest time of the year. We would like to warn whoever follows us: you can still get sunburnt on the balcony!! UV reflects from the sand/sea. (a hard learned lesson for us ha ha) So be sure to wear your sunblock if you're out there for an extended time.

Lovely condo -- very comfortable with awesome views! Alan was so responsive and great to work with.

It is right on the beach. It is in a quiet location. We had the best experience and will be back in the future!

Awesome beach front condo! And the beds are so comfortable! Owner responded in minutes every time, very easy and hassle free to rent.

Upon entering the condo it smelled fresh and clean. As we looked around everything was very tidy. All clean linens, bathroom, kitchen, etc. No sand on the floor. We really enjoyed our balcony. They had dishes, cutlery, pans, everything you needed and didn't have to pack. We were very satisfied with our stay.

So convenient to the beach, right in your back yard!! Gorgeous beach and the sea shells washing up was beautiful!

This place was great. Just as described. DIRECTLY on the beach... shower was roomy (im 6'2" @ 250d), bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was usable, utensils were great. Highly recommend for a couples get away.

I loved this property. Ideal location for a quiet stay at the beach. This property has an amazing ocean view and access. Great, comfortable bed and amazing shower. I will definitely rent again!

Beautiful balcony beach view!

My "non-five" ratings were due to some dirty dishes and an extra check-in document, of which I was unaware until check-in itself. Made for some challenges that tarnished first impressions a little. These could be avoided with an improved process. Overall, those were minor, so the bottom line rating is 5-star.

We loved our stay at this very cute rental. It was wonderful being right on the beach and hearing the rolling of the ocean all night long. Perfect place for our getaway, complete with a magnificent view!

What a perfect place to stay, that comfortable homey feel to relax in when away from home with the perks of daily dolphin sightings, steps from the ocean, and a beautiful sunrise too! We came on a wing and a prayer after very short notice to see our Marine after months of an overseas deployment. Alan was very easy to work with on short notice and even went out of his way to get us into the condo a little earlier than normal check-in, knowing our situation. That speaks volumes!! The condo was decorated with trendy beach decor and modern appliances/cookware. Very clean and tidy! The shower was equipped with a large shower head with great pressure! King size bed was so comfortable and sheets had that just laundered clean smell. We enjoyed the 2 smart TVs also. Highly recommend!

It was great! Clean, cute, and right on the beach. Great communication! We’ll be back!

We saw Dolphins every morning! Loved it.... The Host was great with contacting me before my arrival!...We will be back but for a longer stay i needed more time on the balcony! The pics are exact..no bad surprises. very relaxing

We loved our stay at Sacred Sands! Beautiful views and condo was fantastic! We had everything we needed! Our grandson loves being just steps from the beach!

This was the perfect place at the perfect time for the down time needed

I really enjoyed my stay! I loved being so close to the ocean! One day I was able to enjoy a pod of dolphins from my balcony! Only 2 things that require your attention: mold in the water reservoir of the Keurig style coffee maker and the lights over the stove did not work! Neither of these decreased the enjoyment of my stay!

Very nice place to spend a few early fall days... building is getting a little old but the condo was spotless, had everything we needed; beach chairs are not great, but you're going to throw a towel over them anyway; Alan was great, easy to contact, we had a bit of a communication glitch early but I blame VRBO, not Alan, who backchecked them as much as he could... but more than any other thing, here is what you will remember about your stay... the Atlantic Ocean is right freaking there over your balcony! You are not on "the beach", you are on the ocean. You literally cannot be closer to the water without a flotation device. Now it was a full moon, I don't know enough about it to know if that made a difference, but all I can say is wow. Sitting on that balcony is really worth the price of admission. Thanks, Alan.

Great location to the ocean, peaceful perfect place to just sit and unwind

The condo is well outfitted and freshly decorated and you could only be closer to the water if you were on a ship! No need to lug many things out to the beach because the beach is right there. We also made full use of the tennis court and went to the little tiki bar down the street. We had a great time and the hosts could not have been more responsive. Great place!

This is my second time staying in this community, and it didn’t disappoint. Fun restaurants and shops nearby to enjoy. Plus enough privacy for peace and quiet. Alan was very attentive and responsive as host. I definitely recommend and will come back again!

Can't beat the location!

Property was right on the beach

My daughters and I had a great time! Loved the view of the ocean and being able to hear its soothing sounds whenever we wanted. Our host provided quick responses to any questions and offered suggestions on where to go for dinner. We loved that the location was not far from restaurants and shopping, and I was able to visit the sea turtle rescue center, my absolute favorite animals. A nice break for us!!

Great view and great host!

The property was clean and well-kept with new appliances, comfortable bedding, and an awesome shower to boot! The best feature of all was the views, the beach was literally right off the deck and we could see and hear the ocean waves and the full moon at was spectacular during the night!
