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 negative reviews were completely unjustified.. When we arrived at 2p.m on a Saturday, our 3 bedroom unit was not quite ready. Luckily, the clerks at the check- in desk were friendly and warm and they told us to enjoy the pool while we waited.
The outdoor pool was amazing, clean and inviting, and the beautiful beach was just a short walk from the pool. And what was great was that all the units were angled so that each unit could have a view of the beach. Each unit has a private balcony to enjoy the sun rise or sun set. Within an hour our unit was ready. The unit was newly painted inside and outside.It was clean and very comfortable. Management was in the process of replacing all the furniture and accessories. The next people vacationing at A Place at the Beach III will enjoy all new pots, dishes, towels, etc... A Place At The Beach III was clean, friendly and comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. We would happily vacation there again.

    • Disliked — The kitchen and table was too small to allow us to sit together and enjoy a meal.

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 my dissatisfaction and was told that Check-in Services would contact us for relocation to another resort, as Check-in Services had access to different inventory than the regular exchange customer service reps. This action also proved futile as RCI's Check-in Services was unable to do so... in mid May? Mid May is NOT peak season and surely with all the resorts in the state of North Carolina, RCI could have and should have done better than that. Dont expect anything from RCI, they only care about their profits and are NOT at all concerned about your little vacation nightmare!

I am now making a request to receive a full refund of my exchange fees with RCI. I don't know if I will actually get the refund, but I am going to continue pursuing one, and while I'm doing that, I plan to inform other travelers what they can expect at this destination.

Stay away. You'll be better off. Your socks wont turn black from walking on the carpeting.

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.

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.
