About Michael Woodhall
My daughter and I moved into this condo building when she was 2 years old. We lived here for 7 years. I renovated my first unit to make it comfortable to live in year round or one week at a time! I moved down the street to Beaufort and rented my unit. That went so well, I decided to buy another unit and renovated it just as nice or better. Everything is new, easy to use, and easy to clean. New AC/heat, new appliances, new washer/dryer. The master bath was upgraded to a full bathroom. I chose Southwinds because it is a family oriented complex and kid friendly. My daughter has made many friends with kids coming down during the summer. She learned to swim in the pool by trying to keep up with the 'big' kids while shunning my advice. Usually there are some kids at the pool or beach to make friends with. However, it never gets too crowded or noisy that you can't relax and have a romantic getaway.
Michael Woodhall purchased this Condo in 2013
Why Michael Woodhall chose Atlantic Beach
Southwinds is at the quiet end of Atlantic Beach near Fort Macon. From E building it is a 100 yard walk to the beach. From Southwinds beach, to the left is a 200 yard walk to the bath houses at Fort Macon State Park with a full concession. Freezer pops and ice cream are still only 50 cents. Walk a mile further to Beaufort Inlet and Fort Macon - the actual Civil War brick fort that is full of cannons and reenactments. Friday night concerts are held in Fort Macon during the summer. During the day, bunny rabbits run across the front lawn. Sometimes large turtles crawl across the lawn. At night you may see red foxes trot across the Southwinds parking lot, but they are shy and run away quickly. Bring a flash light to the beach at sun down and look for ghost crabs along the edge of the surf. Sea turtles come to the area and lay their eggs during late Spring / early Summer nights and hatch during a full moon in the early Fall. Sea turtle nests are wired off and protected. Volunteers monitor the nests close to hatch time and the public can watch the turtles hatch if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time.
What makes this Condo unique
From Southwinds beach, to the right is a two mile walk to the Oceana Pier, the Atlantic Beach circle and main public beach. Amos Mosquito's Restaurant is only half a mile down the road from Southwinds, with other restaurants just a little further down the road.

This Is It! I will definitely rent this condo again
It's not every day you find a unit that is beautifully and thoughtfully furnished rather than decorated with cast-offs and bargain pieces. This place is absolutely lovely! There are water views from every window and the balcony. My friend and I enjoyed having our morning coffee and evening wine out there.
Pros- light and airy, clean, comfortable, spacious, nicely updated. Great kitchen space. Quiet surroundings close to Fort Macon State Park, but also convenient to Morehead City, Beaufort, and the rest of Atlantic Beach. The owner goes out of his way to be sure you enjoy your stay.
Only Con - 3rd floor so be prepared to climb some stairs. Once you're there, the views make up for the steps.
Charming Condo! Perfect Getaway!
We had a wonderful stay here for a long weekend at the beach. This Condo is extremely cute, super clean and has all the comforts of home. Great location, close to the pool, 5 minute walk to the ocean. You can sit on the porch and see both the ocean and the sound. I slept with the windows open so I could hear the waves! Mike is very personable and you can tell he really puts a lot of thought into making this place as comfortable as possible!
Perfect getaway!
We loved our stay here. The condo is super clean, comfy and well appointed. We had everything we needed (kitchen is well stocked) and the views of both the sound and ocean from the deck are a plus. Michael met us here and showed us around and was only a phone call away if we needed anything. We will definitely be back!
place was very clean,well stocked with ammenities and well maintained
The place was great for the money we spent.
It's a fare distance across the parking lot--300 yards if not better-- but I would not hold that against it. The property is beach front, just not our condo. Great view of the ocean across the parking lot! Mike was a pleasure to deal with although our only interaction with him was through texts and e-mail
Great place to stay!
Rented this condo for Labor Day weekend, and it was perfect! The unit was clean and well stocked with all the essentials. It was close to the pool and had nice views. The owner was very accommodating and pleasant to work with during the rental process. We will definitely try to stay there again in the future!
Happiness with two views!!!
Ocean...intercostal...yes and yes!!! From the moment we crossed the threshold and explored the condo we could not take the smiles off of our faces. The bedrooms are lovely (the master in particular) and the 2 full bathrooms: clean clean clean. The pictures are 100% spot on, inside and out. Kitchen had everything we needed. Laundry room was another huge plus. Great communication with the owner, Mike, start to finish.
Thank you Mike for opening up your rental to us. My bestfriend enjoyed the long weekend I planned to celebrate her upcoming wedding. We had the best time and will remember it forever :)
