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 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 luxury 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 Crystal Coast vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Reserve your Crystal Coast rental home in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental in Atlantic Beach:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. ROCKING VIEW OF OCEAN & A PALM TREED POOL-Tennis, Gym, jacuzzi & 2nd Pool indoor has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
