Welcome to the HIDDEN GEM of Atlantic Beach! Originally the Captain's Bridge Motel in the 1970s, the interior of this PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEW UNIT has been entirely modernized into a CLEAN Stylish Modern Condo in 2019. One of only two units in the building DIRECTLY facing the ocean and the only unit with OCEAN, SUNSET, & POOL VIEWS! There is no "shared air" as there is no enclosed lobby and the unit has an individual wall mounted a/c. Please see the aerial photo that indicates the unit location and the close proximity to the beach. Walk across the lawn through our PRIVATE GAZEBO to access a SECLUDED beach ideal for calming strolls, shelling, and sunbathing!

The interior of the building has been completely refreshed into a beautiful modern condo in 2019. It is furnished with a comfortable queen size bed, full size couch sleeper, kitchenette w/ appliances, bespoke tile shower, SMART TV, and WiFi. PRIME OCEANFRONT LOCATION! Panoramic Ocean Vistas directly from your unit! Savor your morning coffee or evening glass of wine on the wraparound shared balcony seating area or walk to either of the two Gazebos to feel the Fresh Ocean Breeze. Ideal for couples, singles, and families with modest kids. An Outdoor Pool, 3 Charcoal BBQ Grills, 2 Gazebos, and a fish cleaning station are available to guests.

Please note that this unit's shower has been updated. We elected to provide a full size shower and due to space considerations we took out the bathroom vanity. The kitchen sink serves as the only sink in the unit. We have found this an appropriate use of the space, but we want guests to know ahead of time.

There is no daily maid service but towel swap outs can be arranged for $10 upon request (paid directly to the cleaning service). There is a coin operated laundry room on site for longer stay guests.

Many local eateries/stores are within walking distance. Dollar General is right across the street and Food Lion is just a mile away. Additional eateries, a movie theater, and a shopping center are a short drive away.

Ideal hideaway for a charming weekend, or a family getaway ...watch dolphins splash from the oceanside gazebo ... don’t miss the sunset over the ocean waves .... walk the sandy beach ... build a sandcastle with the kids ... surf cast for one of the many varieties of fish in our ocean waters ... watch surfers hang ten....

Havelock rental property booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in Atlantic Beach. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the perfectrental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. RARE OCEANFRONT CONDO W\/ PANORAMIC OCEAN & SUNSET VIEW_PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS_WiFi has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Havelock vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
