I have visited this place many times in the last 20 years, but I must say that I was very disappointed on our last trip. When we first got there the air condition was not on and it was about 110 degrees in the room. the sink was messed up, the door that divided the rooms was broke. I called for service soon as I got there and no one ever came to see about any thing. Oh the mini blinds was broke. When I checked out I told them all the problems that we had encountered but it didn't do much good because they said that the manager was unavailable. A week later after leaving I did received a phone call but it was not because of the complaint but it was for a transaction reason. and while I had her on the line I told her about the problems that I encounter and she promise to give me a discount when I visit again. I use to love down there but now I don't if it is worth going again with a discount. They really need to renovate the whole place .

We went to a place at the beach III in early November.............I called ahead to ask if the pool would be open and they said yes it would until thanksgiving..............the weather was beautiful in the 80's but not only would they not open the pool they shut off all the phones in the entire complex (probably to save $$). The unit we stayed in was ok but you could tell people have treated it roughly and the maintenance is not up to par. As far Atlantic beach it is just beautiful and the beaches are fabulous........next time we go I think we will stay someplace else.

Although the location on the beach is beautiful & the outdoor pool with slide is lots of fun, I would not recommend this resort. The unit was dirty, not well maintained & in dire need of renovations. Food crumbs were in the kitchen drawers; toilet seats were old & toilet bowls were not well cleaned. Good thing that we brought our own pillows as theirs were stained. The common open hallways of the building had many bugs including palmettos crawling around. It seemed that no one vacuumed these halls as we later saw the same dead bugs laying on the floor all week. We made the best of it since we had traded our timeshare week & had driven 10.5 hours to get there! The island however is very beautiful & I would recommend visiting this area. Very relaxing walks on the beach day or night....shelling...watching sunsets. Michaelangelos pizza by Food Lion pretty good; Kathryn's Bistro in Emerald Isle is pricey but well worth the food & great attention. Skip Sanitary Fish Market on the mainland...very greasy food & overpriced for the quality. Sunset ghost tour in Beaufort was fun. Boat tours & parasailing available too; Pine Shores Aquarium was nice for esp. young children. The locals are friendly & full of advice. Again nice area, bad resort!

ServiceMy family has had a timeshare at A Place At The Beach for over 20 years and this is the first year that I have been dissatified. The outdoor pool was dirty with frogs and leaves in it and around the pool was littered and dirty. The furniture in our condo was in terrible shape. The couch had holes in it and was completely worn out. The walls had marks all on it and the kitchen was filthy. The light bulb was burnt out in the kitchen and I called the front office 3 times with no luck so we did without a kitchen light the entire week. The phone did not work and I reported this to the front office 4 times and it was never fixed. We had family staying in the L building as we were in the K building so a phone would have been nice since I had to walk everytime I needed to tell them something. The front office staff did not seem like that they wanted to help. In recent years I have loved this place but this year was not a good experience.
