About this property

Almost Heaven: Dog-friendly corner townhome with deck & patio

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Spend your vacation surfing, boogie boarding, and beachcombing at this two-story townhouse in the heart of Atlantic Beach, where the golden sand and crisp Atlantic waves are three short blocks away.

This townhouse enjoys a prime location in Atlantic Beach, one block south of Fort Macon Road and its many shops, restaurants, and conveniences. Easily walk to the grocery store and boating and fishing charters, or hop on a bike for a quick ride to Fort Macon State Park (two miles east).

Find the perfect spot to begin and end each day in the home's lovely outdoor spaces. In the mornings, sip your first cup of coffee on the spacious deck off the primary bedroom. Each afternoon, gather on the shaded patio for cold drinks, family card games, and a sunset dinner prepared on the gas grill.

The interior living space is bright, polished, and centrally air-conditioned, providing a cool and comfortable respite after a day spent at the beach. Enjoy a breezy, eat-in kitchen and an inviting living room with plush seating and a smart TV. Both of the bedrooms are upstairs, each offering its own smart TV as well. Additional amenities include complimentary WiFi and a private washer/dryer to refresh your swimsuits and beach towels nightly.

All reservations are offered to purchase travel insurance for an additional 7.75% of your rent and taxes. Please refer to the rental agreement you will be signing to accept or decline this coverage as your refund in the time of cancellation will be dependent on your acceptance in most situations. All guests must sign and return a rental agreement before reservations are confirmed. Payment for travel insurance, if accepted, will be processed upon receipt of this signed agreement.

Standard cancellation policy is: CANCELLATION POLICY and SUBSTITUTIONS - Any changes, including changing dates, switching of properties, or complete cancellations will invoke the cancellation policy. Agent recommends all Renters purchase travel insurance offered at time of booking to protect them in the event of an unexpected event affecting their vacation. Agent cannot offer future credits or immediate refunds for unexpected cancellations due to emergencies regardless of the situation, including but not limited to weather events and acts of God, unexpected illnesses, injury or death, changing of plans, or job loss. Please do not ask. All cancellations are subject to a fifty dollar ($50.00) cancellation fee. Cancellations must be submitted to Agent in writing (email is acceptable). In the event of cancellation, no refund of monies paid will be made unless the Property is re-rented for the same price and time period of this original vacation rental agreement. If the Property is re-rented for a lesser price or time period, the original Tenant will receive a refund for the difference between the originally agreed upon rental amount and the rebooked rental amount as Owner is entitled to receive the full amount of the original rental agreement. Agent will make every effort to re-rent the Property at the full amount. Tenant acknowledges that Agent has full discretion on negotiating rental rates in an effort to get the Property re-rented and make the Owner whole, while also attempting to get the Tenant the highest refund possible.

It was a short walk to the beach. Plenty of room inside with a large backyard for a dog. There was a nice outdoor shower that made coming back from the beach convenient. Location was perfect.

Great location & stay for our family!

This was a great place to stay for our family. Plenty room, walking distance to a lot of places especially the beach. However, tropical storm Debby kept us from doing that 🤪 but we would definitely book again and recommend.

Great little family getaway

We were very happy with our stay. The house was clean and fresh when we arrived. The location is great and we walked to the beach daily even though it was not quite warm enough yet to swim. Beds are a bit firm but we did ok. Couldn’t get 1 tv to connect to the internet but didn’t really matter to us. Overall would stay here again, we enjoyed the house and the location! Kitchen was well equipped and washing machines and dryer worked as they should.

Heavenly

My dog Keeper and I had a perfect vacation. The weather was like spring in the 70's and sunny. Almost Heaven was perfect as well. The condo was very clean and very comfortable. I met the next door neighbor Darlyn who was very friendly. All of our needs were met. We enjoyed the beach too. It is only a short walk away. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be planning our next trip for more fun in the near future.

Peaceful Vacay!

My 2 cocker spaniels and I had a 6 night stay that was restful and townhome was as described. Unfortunately, the cleaning crew didn’t have much pride in their work as the floors weren’t clean and their was sand on the kitchen counters and coffee tables. Management company did offer to send someone out to clean, but who wants to listen to a vacuum running on day 1 of their vacation - not me!

Mold and bugs

The upstairs bathroom has very visible mold on the ceiling, blinds are missing pieces downstairs, blinds upstairs you can not turn open or close without cutting your fingers, and multiple roaches were seen throughout the house on multiple days.

We highly appreciate your review, Victoria. We apologize that the home was not up to expectations during your stay. Please know that we have taken this into account and brought this up with the local operations manager as a means to make the necessary improvements.

House in Beaufort

When we were moved from the Atlantic Beach property to Beaufort we lost a day of the stay for the hot water tank leak issue. We were moved to a non beach location and the property itself was much inferior. No working ice maker, roach traps everywhere, dirty, dingy carpet and just so much more. We left that property 2 days early and went home. We have had no follow up from anyone at Vacasa.

We are disheartened to read that you experienced issues that kept you from fully enjoying your getaway. Our local manager assured us that the water heater issue has been resolved and is in good working order. We're truly sorry this occurred during your stay and regret the inconvenience it caused your party. We hope you will allow us the chance to provide you with a truly exceptional vacation experience in the future.

Excellent location

The local AB Vacasa was wonderful to work with and the owners. Our socks and feet were black from the floors not being clean. Bathtub felt dirty. 2 chairs and table outside were dirty and have never been swept under or behind them. Screen torn off the back door. Vertical blinds on back door will no longer work. Hole burned on sofa and stains. We went to the AB office to let them know so we were not help responsible. Be care with all the lease agreements and paper work you have to sign. Great restaurants close by located on the ocean.
