Sands Villas Resort is a peaceful gated resort located on the east end of the island, about a mile from the Morehead City Bridge/Causeway. Located high on the island, this condo has vistas of water on both sides-the ocean and the sound. This condo is Ocean front. The resort has a private walkway through the dunes to the wide white sandy beach. This is a public beach with no lifeguard but the police patrol somewhat regularly. As a resort guest, during your stay you may savor the indoor and outdoor pool, hottub, sauna, exercise room, tennis/pickle ball court, playground, basketball goal and ample parking for two cars and a boat,

For your safety, this condo is part of a private gated community, so please display your parking tag when parking in the resort and bring your amenities tag with you when you are appreciating the pool, gym, ball courts, or grilles. (This helps security identify you as an invited guest.) *To avoid a penalty fee, please make you return all parking and conveniences tags back to the kitchen counter before checking out. (Thank you)

There are walking/bicycle paths that take you to Fort Macon. This condo is also less than a mile to Fort Macon, the Oceanana Pier, Amos Mosquitos, Island Grille, and The Circle /Causeway Bridge. Therefore, this condo is a relatively short walk to most things. You can decide to travel by road, sand, or sidewalks, depending on the adventure you choose.

While there are a lot of things to do at Atlantic Beach, NC, further down the island, you will find a Food Lion, the Aquarium, town parks, library, mini golf, bumper boats, bowling, arcades, waterslides, stores, eateries, movies, and more. (Emerald Isle is the most western beach on the island.)

Back across the bridge to Morehead City (Hwy 70) you will find more grocery stores, the regional hospital, chain stores and eateries. Downtown Morehead is a great place to find good seafood and watch the big fish come in to be weighed. (This is the home of the Big Rock Fishing Tournament held every June, and the Annual Seafood Festival held every October)

Then a little further east over the next bridge, is Beaufort-a cozy historic sailing town where you will find the Smith Field Airport, county courthouse, historic homes, exotic yachts, museums, cute stores and even more great eateries.

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the best vacation home within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Beaufort, NC restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, NC visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.
