The condo is just as pictured. It was perfect for our family trip. The view from the balcony is beautiful and right next to a pool. We loved that the condo is right next to Fort Macon State Park. We spent a day there exploring the Fort and beaches. We would definitely stay here again.
This unit has a beautiful ocean view. It’s a third floor rental so be prepared for stairs as there’s no elevator. The check in/out process is bumpy as there is a keyless entry and vacasa sends you a code but also requires you to pick up a packet with a key- this is likely because the door lock system isn’t easy to use with either the key or the code. You also have to drop the packet back to the office prior to leaving. The Vacasa emails and directions do not match the physical packet we were given for checking in/out. There were several issues with things that needed to be updated, most prominently were the note on the main bath/shower asking us not to use it, the screen door that fell off when we opened it, and the microwave we had to plug in and then promptly unplug because the fan would not stop running. Vacasa did issue a discount for these inconveniences. There were a few minor things as well, and Vacasa offered to send someone over but we declined as we didn’t want people working in the space while we were there. The unit itself is a cute space, cozy and comfy, and the patio furniture was perfect for viewing the beautiful coastal sunset. The grounds are clean and well kept with two pools and easy access to the beach!
Nice condo. The view was terrific. There were some issues that we reported to the property manager (microwave fan never stops, master bath sink is pulling away from the wall, and there is potential for a leak in the 2nd bathroom...grout is pulling away from the bathtub). None affected our stay. The shower in the master bath is quite small and it can be dangerous stepping out as you have to step down and there is an optical illusion with the tile of the shower and the floor. Overall, it was a nice condo.

We absolutely loved the condo. From the views to the accommodations it was completely 5 Star. The only minor issue we had was there was no parking permit in the condo but the front gate very kindly gave one when we got a notification. Other than that we had a wonderful time. The condo is so pretty. Had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable. The little deck was spectacular to enjoy the views from. Thank you so much for sharing your home.

Atlantic Beach Front Condo
We stayed in Condo A16 in Southwinds. The location to beach, pool and views were all excellent. We were on 3rd floor which is what you need to book for the ocean views, but be aware if you are middle aged,and have a lot of luggage as we did, there is no elevator or travel carts and the multiple trips coming and going can be exhausting. The condo itself was serviceable, especially just for my wife and I, but not high end accommodations. The condo had some quirks and showed the signs of a long beach season in terms of cleanliness. That said we would stay there again.

Very nice place for a family vacation!
This place was wonderful! The room was very nice, and clean. Pool was great, and very well maintained. We stayed in building A, and the beach access was right there at us. The beach was very clean, and they had lifegaurds patroling the area as well.
There were a few minor inconveniences though. The wifi is terrible, extremely slow and didn't work half the time. You also can't connect a roku/fire stick to the tvs, or any game system to stream anything. The pull out bed was missing all but 3 springs, so we couldn't use it. Also, an outlet in one of the bedrooms didn't work. Those werent horrible issues though, and we'd definitely stay again!

Great ocean view but lacking things in condo
Really should only be listed as a 4 person condo. The kitchen had pots and pans but no hot mit, no dust pan for the broom so cleaning was difficult, no kid cups/limited plastic ware and a lot of glass, the ice maker does not work (there was an ice tray). All that to say the balcony is amazing and you can’t beat the view. The balcony furniture is nice.

Great place
Location, location, location! Nice small patio overlooks a quiet beach. Very clean and tastefully decorated, and a few minutes from great restaurants. Nearby Fort Macon Park was lovely as well. A few things to note: Use the VACASA information for accessing Wi-Fi; the instructions in the notebook don't work. There was also some confusion between whether dishes needed to be washed or just put in dishwasher, whether garbage needed to be taken out (we did!) -- I just think the notebook in the house needs to be updated. TV image was not very good, but we weren't there to watch TV! All in all, I would come back again with any hesitation -- a great place at a great price!
Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend at Atlantic Beach. Property was clean and comfortable. Kitchen fully stocked and washer dryer worked well. Be prepared; it is on the third floor and no elevator, but the views are worth it!
Place was as described. Me and my dad enjoyed a couple days collecting shells and reminiscing about times on the island 30 years ago when I was a kid. If you are looking for a 5 star place then pay for one... this was perfect for our short stay for the price.
Property needs updating and a good cleaning. Booked through Vacasa - paid the first and last installment and then received the Contract. This is not the way to do business. Check out rules per online and per the office and text did not match. At checkout, all the paperwork including keys and keypad code were placed in an exterior bin that does not drop...perhaps thirty agreements in the bin. This is NOT the way to do business - anyone could have accessed the bin and property. I will not use Vacasa again.
Only problem was steps to 3rd floor while have some sciatic nerve problems but the cview and closeness to the beach was worth it.

The view was spectacular.
The furniture crowds the smaller rooms.
The master bathroom needs attending with some minor fixes which were reported.
Overall worth it.
