The property provides a large variety of activities and amenities to occupy your time. The only thing missing is a fitness room. The first couple days were windy and on the cooler side, so we enjoyed the mini golf, indoor pool, and nearby Fort Macon. The cooler weather made the 3 mile walk near the fort enjoyable and we had fun exploring the salt marsh, especially watching the fiddler crabs. On the warmer days, the water slide and beach were a huge hit with the kids. We saw a pod of dolphins right from our spot on the beach! The condo provided everything we needed except groceries, but Food Lion was just down the road. We even found some boogie boards and sand toys in the kids’ room closet. This condo is centrally located near the elevator/stairs, which was really nice. We absolutely loved our stay and would come back again in a heartbeat. While a neat experience, we found Sand dollar island to not really be worth the money; however, Shackleford Banks was totally worth it! Especially if you are a shell hunter. We found tons of dainty, little auger shells that were so beautiful. There is so much to do and explore here, and this condo is a wonderfully comfortable place to come back to and relax.

We come for the grands, we enjoy it very much. The kids are excited to get up every day, with all the amenities they don’t get bored. We will be back.

A few issues especially after hours check in was not explained. The Condos had letters for each building and the info sent by Vacasa only had # so we did not know which building had our unit. Did not know about a lock box with Condo info until a security guard showed up asking me what was I doing. He finally had the packet and explained to me where my unit was. Need more detailed info when sending unit info.

We loved the view of the pool and the patio! Very comfy king size bed !! Needs updating some random wall damages, and outdated! This did not hinder our enjoyment in the stay! It was clean! However I would pick a more updated one next time with better lighting. It's very dingy throughout. Pan selection for cooking is terrible, so don't plan on cooking in this condo! Walk to the beach was so convenient. Overall it was a nice stay.
