***Guest Testimonials***
Will: Five Star Airbnb with very responsive host!! Michael and his team were proactive checking in with me throughout our stay. For families with kids, this is best Airbnb in AB!!! House sits on end of street with no traffic so very safe for kids to be outside on bikes, etc. Very safe neighborhood with friendly neighbors and only a row from beach. Highly recommended and plan to stay again soon bc my kids loved it so much!!!
Robbie: Michael and his home were amazing. The location is a short walk to the beach and very nice. My family had an amazing time in his gorgeous home. I was nervous as being a first timer using the air bnb platform. However, this home, the host and air bnb customer care went way about my greatest expectations. I would highly recommend this home and ‘I hawk as the host for anyone. We will definitely be using this home and this host again.
Vicki: Our time at Atlantic Beach was great and we enjoyed staying at Michael's place. He was a very attentive host and we had everything we needed to make our trip a success! We will definitely consider staying there on our next trip!
Nicole: Great location! Beach access was wonderful. Guests should know that there are two big flights of stairs to reach the main living area, though, so this house is likely not appropriate for elderly guests.
Guest Access: Keyless entry
The Neighborhood: The home is walkable to the beach via beach walk access.
Getting Around: The home comes with 2 parking spots - no parking in the grass or the garage. Do not block driveways to other homes. Follow all street signs or you are at risk of being towed.
Other Things to Note: Please bring your own beach towels - we do not provide them.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Nice place to stay at with good location, overall enjoyed my stay. There were several very dirty/rusty vent covers and a moldy bathroom exhaust fan. Received several messages throughout my stay that felt a little pesky since I did not send any messages until the end of my stay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and overall stay, but we sincerely apologize for the dirty and rusty vent covers and the moldy bathroom exhaust fan. These items should have been caught before your arrival, and we’ll be addressing them with our cleaning and maintenance teams. We also appreciate your feedback about the messages and will review our communication approach to ensure it feels helpful rather than excessive.
The property was well appointed with everything we needed to enjoy our trip, plus its location and access to what felt like a private beach was beyond my expectations. We had a lovely, relaxing stay.
Had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. Stayed a full week with my family of 6. Plenty of space and room to move around. Plenty of extra amenities for use. And the place was clean and well stocked. Now for the best part. This location is incredible. It’s a stone throw away from the beach. Super easy to transport all your gear back and forth daily. Outdoor shower was convenient and the garage was awesome to store your gear. Now it does have steps to get to the upper floors. But wasn’t an issue with us. Don’t hesitate to book. This place is a gem.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad your family had a great week, enjoyed the amenities, and loved the beach access. We truly appreciate your kind words and would be happy to host you again anytime!
The property was super close to the beach, which was number one on our list. The views from the house were great too. Comfortable living spaces. We had everything we needed!
We enjoyed our stay! The only thing that took me by surprise was that there are 2 flights of stairs up to living area(which was lovely!) Just be aware if you have bad knees!
The accomodations at the house were very comfortable (beds, living room seating). The house was clean and was well equipped with kitchen accessories. Convenient location with a short, easy walk to the beach. The managers of the property stayed in communication if we needed anything, and provided all the necessay datails that left no unanswered questions. Would love to stay here again in the future.
Highly Recommend! This beach house is beautifully decorated and only one block from public access to your favorite place. Public Beach access has bathrooms and a shower which is also nice to unload all of your chairs, coolers and beach gear.
Thanks for a memorable family vacation.
We had a terrific time and the property had everything we could have wanted! We already inquired about coming back next year!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you had a terrific time and that the property had everything you could have wanted. We really appreciate you reaching out about coming back next year—there’s no better compliment.
We’d love to host you again and look forward to welcoming you back!
We found the property was just as presented and met all our expectations. It was very clean and everything we needed was provided. It is very family friendly and it really is only a two minute walk to the beach! Our host, Mike, was awesome in every way. We had a lot of questions early on and Mike was always on top of things. Communications with Mike could not have been easier. He was always quick to respond and made things so easy for us. We highly recommend this property for a great beach getaway and we can not say enough good things about our host, Mike.
