Myself and my family stayed here for vacation with the Armed Forces Vacation Club. We had a wonderful time! Our room had an ocean view with the outdoor pool right below us. The indoor pool was centrally located and very nice. The security was very good, they were constantly checking your activity passes and car passes. Very kid friendly with... more

I grew up staying at this property and for sometime my family owned a condo. I was horrified by the condition of the room....filthy dirty is the easiest way to explain the conditions of the two bedroom in K building. Cracked walls, broken door, roaches...you name it- I would never again bring my children here for spring break...pool did not... more

I am the Property Manager here at A Place at the Beach. I started in Dec of 07. My first priority is and always will be housekeeping and the cleanliness of the condo's. Every once in a while our staff will miss something but with our new inspection program in place I feel that you will see a marked improve...

My family and I stayed at THe Place At the Beach III for the children's Spring Break. We have rented timeshare from owners in the past and had very enjoyable experiences. WHile the Atlantic Beach area was great, I would reccomend that anyone interested in going there chose another place to stay. When we arrived on Saturday, the person who... more

We are currently at the Place at the Beach. The grounds are beautiful—well maintained landscape, clean outdoor, indoor pool and hot tub and nice gameroom. Our room, however, is deplorable. My husband and I spent 5 hours cleaning and $30 in cleaning supplies. The carpets were dirty and stained. We found the vacuum cleaner-it was a bagless system full of... more

I am an owner at APATB. I can truly appreciate and understand the many complaints written about our resort, but our complex has gone through a complete make over in the past 11/2 years. We are under NEW MANAGEMENT under the direction of a NEW BOARD. New ammenties have been added to the property and most of the Timeshare units...

we are a family of 6 with 3 children under 11. We absolutely love a place at the beach. Our room was directly above the pool and if my oldest grandson wanted to go to the pool, we could sit on our balcony and watch. The lifeguards were great. The room was ready and clean. A couple of years ago... more

We just spent the longest week ever at A Place at the Beach III. I know this is "off" season but I didn't think that meant the resort would be un-staffed. Ok, there was 1 person in the office 9-5 Mon-Fri. And she did let us move from the 1st floor room with the view of the parking lot to... more

I would as an owner of A Place at the Beach like to respond to some of the negative comments of our resort. I have owned a unit at this complex for 12 years and have seen some major changes in the last 1 1/2 years. Our previous management company and board of directors let the timeshare units completely detiorate...

My family just got back from a week stay with some friends of ours at A Place at the Beach. Very family friendly. The beach is within a minute's walk. The pool/waterslide is great for everyone. Rooms are spacious. We had brand new dishes and pots/pans in our room. Front desk help wasn't the friendliest, but I understand a management... more

Two days before leaving on our vacation we came across all the negative reviews of A Place at the Beach III at different websites online, and we were terrified because our reservations were confirmed and we had 7 people counting on a vacation.We hoped for the best and after an 11 hour drive we arrived. We quickly realized that the... more

I've been a member of RCI since 1984 and have NEVER been so dissatisfied with making an exchange. This resort should be removed from the RCI Exchange program immediately because it is just plain filthy. Dont waste your travel week, your gasoline, your time, or your exchange fees making this resort your destination RCI members! I phoned RCI to report... more

On our last trip to A Place at the Beach III, we were pleased to see that a total renovation is being done. The place looks great. Apparently, the old management company has been replaced. more
