The amenities were great, even though we did not use the stove. A nice surprise: lawnchairs are provided (we brought our own), but good to know for the next time. Needs some upkeep, the floors need washing, (a mop and bucket would be good to have on hand) the bathroom vent needs cleaning (full of dust), and the bathroom door needs some cleaning, but overall a good place to stay. The refrigerator is a very good size!! For being a small unit it was cozy. AC and Heat worked well. Something that would be wonderful is a chain lock on inside door for added protection of little ones getting out, the bolt lock is easy for them to undo. I did not use the laundry service, and I did not have any pets with me.Thank you for the quick booking, and the fast response to my email. I will use you in the next go-round of a vacation.Thanks again.

Wonderful stay

This was our first time vacationing at Atlantic Beach. The place was perfect for us and love that it is also dog friendly. The hosts were prompt and thorough in their communication and even left a little birthday card for my son when I communicated that this was his birthday trip. The beach access was so close, the room was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a wonderful vacation for us!

Are stay at Atlantic beach

The location was great with the private beach and restaurants were close by. The room was clean and well decorated. Was expecting a larger bed than just a double for my wife and after being upgraded from original booking thats under renovation. Other than the sleeping arrangements we enjoyed are vacation.
