About this Property

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 appreciate 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.

Finding the best Atlantic Beach vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Beaufort, NC area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Reserve your Beaufort, NC vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

• Begin by choosing a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. ROCKING VIEW OF OCEAN & A PALM TREED POOL-Tennis, Gym, jacuzzi & 2nd Pool indoor has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, NC vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. Otherwise, email the host before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
