Imagine starting your day with a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean. Or relax in the evening by watching the sun set while appreciating a glass of wine on the private balcony connected to your upstairs master suite.

These are the kinds of experiences we want to share with our guests at The Sandy Turtle.

We are located just a few steps from private beach access, so no matter how busy the beaches get, you will have no issues trying to find parking or a prime spot on the beach.

The property also features a clubhouse, swimming and kid pools, and pool chairs for when you need a change of pace from the ocean and sand.

The Sandy Turtle offers a unique Atlantic Beach experience, as there is a ton of space for the entire family to relax and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Our property's location offers diverse experiences as we are located steps away from private beach access, directly next to Fort Macon State Park for anyone in the family interested in history, a 10-min. drive to the stores and famed eateries of Morehead City, and a 15-min. drive from Beaufort's famed waterfront stores and eateries. If there's a bit of rain in the forecast, do not worry. Our location is only a 15-min. drive from the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, which will be a great way to spend time with the family indoors.

We've supplied board and card games, coloring books, a sea shell collection bag, and Intelligent TVs to ensure kids of all ages are entertained to give the parents a anxiety-complimentary beach vacation.

Our condo is an end unit with a neighbor only on one side, offering more privacy. Upon entering the property, the bottom floor includes a sitting area with cable TV, a queen-sized pull-out couch bed, a sink and mini refrigerator in the hallway, a laundry room with a new washer and dryer, storage for beach chairs, closet storage space, a full bathroom, and bedroom with queen-sized bed.

Up the stairs, you will enter the main living area which features a 55-inch Intelligent TV, cable, couch, adore seat, kitchen table, full kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, pantry, full bathroom, bedroom with a queen-sized bed, closet space, and an outdoor deck with seating.

Parking is limited to two cars. One car may be parked in the driveway directly in front of the property, and another may be parked in front of the clubhouse/pool area. Two temporary parking permits will be supplied and must be displayed at all times while your car is parked in the driveway or common space.

For security, there is a Blink Doorbell Camera at the front door of the property as well as a Blink Camera on the main level patio deck near the back door.

Tips for getting the best Havelock vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Havelock restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental in Atlantic Beach:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 3 story 3BR\/3BA condo in the heart of Atlantic Beach with private beach access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation family.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. message the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
