We are a family of 6 and stayed for 4 days for Spring Break. The condo unit was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

The fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grills allowed us to prepare several fresh meals a day. We didn't end up making coffee because we are spoiled by our Keurig and the unit has a carafe brewer but everything you need is in the kitchen including a coffee grinder. For the beach, we only had to bring our beach towels and swimsuits as beach chairs/umbrella/sand toys/boogie boards are all supplied. There is a small washer and dryer in the kitchen which was nice for washing and drying our beach towels before heading home. Parents slept in the master bedroom on a very comfortable queen bed while 2 children slept in the twin bedroom and 2 children slept in the living room (1 on the full size sleeper sofa and 1 in the pack and play we brought from home). There was a dry bar / buffet space to one side of the living room that was a perfect charging spot for all our electronics and included a bluetooth speaker with great sound. Lots of little extras (nightlights, ultra plush carpet) made us feel right at home.

The complex was clean and quiet and the staff was friendly and helpful with all our requests. Our children enjoyed playing on the playground and swimming in the indoor pool. The indoor spa was broken during our visit. There is nice boardwalk over the dunes for beach access. The unit is on the end of the complex closest to the beach but the view is primarily of the parking lot and dunes (normal for a first floor unit).

We were surprised to find the beach marred by a large pipe. Upon some research we learned it is for a beach renourishment program to replenish sand lost to erosion. The pipe is really ugly and there are warning signs to stay away due to danger of high pressure discharge. There are several sand ramps up and over the pipe to access the water. We stayed far away from the discharge end which was currently a good distance away towards the pier. Our walk up the beach to Fort Macon State Park showed us where the pipe had recently had a discharge that direction as well (not sure if that was planned or not). The evidence of erosion was clear on our walk. Despite the pipe, the beach is beautiful, clean, and has lots of seashells for gathering. There is a large area of shallow (just above adult knee depth) water for playing in the waves.
