My favorite time at the beach is the spring and fall because it is quiet and not too hot. It was quiet and relaxing. The hotel is right on the beach and it is beautiful. The room was clean and had everything I needed. The staff was friendly.
When I got there I didn't have a code to get through the gate and that was stressful. Also, I was charged $150 in case of breakage, but I won't get it back for 7 to 10 days. I think that is too long to hold someone's money.
The location and the convenience of having a full kitchen, many places to sleep, and being close to the beach.
Everything was perfect! We will be back.
The local is very convenient to nearby restaurants and stores, we loved the accomodations and also the friendliness of the staff.
The only issue I had was that we needed to access the beach wheel chair that was locked up on the property. Our Mom visited and has mobility issues. No one in the office could locate the key. Apparently the last person to use it didn't turn in the key.
Nothing stood out as amazing
Outdoor pool was not open, even just to sit around the pool. Somewhat dated. Could not check in earlier than 4pm.
We enjoy the location and the many activities available for families. We stayed there quite a few years back in the 1990s and returned several years ago. We feel comfortable staying at A Place at the Beach .
Can't think of anything I didn't really like. As with any hotel or resort guests in the hallways can be a bit noisy late at night and early morning. Maybe a few more cooking items (pots and pans) could be added since we cooked in several evenings.
Location, private beach, indoor and outdoor pool options
3rd floor unit and didn't find the elevator until the 2nd day
Bed bug bites the next day. Reported it to hotel.
Location
Internet was shotty
It was a wonderful place to stay loved it was fully furnished everything we needed was there loved it
The location was great was very close to the beach. Staff was wonderful. Amenities were great.
The kitchen area was very small
the grounds were very well kept and they were able to check us in one hour early.
rooms could use some updating.
Very nice amenities such as beautiful indoor and outdoor pool. Excellent proximity to the private beach. Unfortunately, We were disappointed we did not get to use the Amenities as we were busy visiting family and had no time for the pools. Unit was clean.
It was a little dark in the inside hallways. A brighter paint would make a big difference.
The location is perfect. A mile from Fort Macon. Just a few steps away from the shore. Spacious. Chock full of amenities. It's an amazing property with an amazing price tag. The staff are a pleasure to deal with. I went for the first time in October 2025 and immediately booked for December 2025 right after.
My only complaint is the sensitive fire detector in the kitchen. It goes off way to much for food NOT to be burning. But this complaint is petty in comparison to everything I enjoyed about the property.
Proximity to state park and within 15-30 minutes of a variety of historic and outdoor adventures.
Slow elevator to 3rd floor. Which may be a good thing since we took stairs more often!
Location is amazing, loved having a kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Indoor pool was an amazing bonus and everything is close (grocery store, restaurants, shopping) within 15 minutes. It is quiet and great for relaxing.
Bed was very firm. Actually too firm. Playground was closed so my daughter in law had to load up my granddaughter to go to the playground in town., but that ok.
