Just steps from the pool and a short walk to the ocean, this unit is perfect for those who want easy access to everything without climbing stairs or hauling luggage up flights. Inside, the condo is designed with practicality in mind. The full kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker, making it easy to cook meals at home when you’re not out enjoying the island’s seafood restaurants. A washer and dryer are located right inside the condo for your convenience, especially helpful for longer stays, families or small groups. The living space is cozy and functional, with a flat-screen TV and wireless internet for downtime. A sliding door allows in plenty of natural light and fresh coastal air, keeping the space bright and welcoming. Sleeping arrangements are well-suited for families or couples traveling together. The main bedroom offers a queen-size bed, while the second bedroom has two twins with a single trundle. Linens are provided, and departure cleaning is included in your stay, so you can settle in without the worry of extra tasks at checkout. What makes this condo unique is its location within the Southwinds community. You’ll be just steps from the pool, so it’s easy to spend a relaxed afternoon swimming or lounging nearby. The beach is a short walk away, offering the best of both worlds: quick poolside convenience and easy ocean access. Because the condo is on the first floor, you’ll also appreciate the accessibility—just a few stairs to navigate and quick trips in and out for beach gear, groceries, or little ones. Atlantic Beach itself offers plenty to enjoy during your stay. Fort Macon State Park, with its history, trails, and scenic beauty, is just around the corner. The island’s best restaurants and shops are a quick drive or bike ride away, making it easy to enjoy both local flavor and beach-town charm. This is a non-smoking condo, and Southwinds does not allow renters to bring pets. The condo is available for nightly and weekly rentals year-round, with a two-night minimum.

Second time staying in this complex, first time in this unit. We enjoyed our brief stay, but would definitely consider a longer one. Everything was comfortable and clean with easy access to the beach and all other sites we visited
We stayed at this location for a quick family vacation! I loved the area, the access to the pool and beach were great, especially will small children. Very family oriented, quiet, and the area is well managed. When we arrive the parking passes weren’t there but the manager had them delivered very quickly, which was great! The condo was clean and well managed. Only thing I would have changed is the unit had a smell of cigarette smoke possibly from the previous tenants and we have a toddler with horrible allergies, but otherwise it was a wonderful stay. We will definitely rent from this company again, but maybe a different unit. Thanks again for having us.
The condo was nice but needs a little TLC. AC worked great & overall the beds were comfortable. My son loved the recliner. We were however greeted by a huge cockroach in the master bedroom on our arrival and the area around the master shower had some mold. There were also constant gnats flying around the kitchen, even with bug spray they still seemed to linger around during our stay. I liked that the unit was on the lower level. No ocean view but the sound of the ocean is always nice. While I love the Southwind condos, I’ll probably opt for a different unit next time.

Property was nice. I had ask for a condo on the bottom floor. It was changed to a second level
a couple days before I was going to leave. It was my son, his 1 year old son, then me. My son worked in the area. It was difficult for me to go to the grocery store or anywhere else, to where I would have bags to carry up. So I didn’t do a lot of that. Had to do some cleaning before I could unpack our things. It was beach front too. It’s hard to carry grocery, baby upstairs then go back to the car and do it again.
This condo was fine for a quick two-night visit to the coast. It is not furnished with comfort in mind; however. It is equipped with the bare essentials and seating isn't ideal in the den area. The dining area has rickety chairs to include a card table style folding chair. My daughter and I slept in the room with the twin beds and they were fine, but the bed in the master bedroom I doubt is a Queen... looked more like a double. The place did not have a coffeemaker when we arrived so I notified the realtor who was very responsive and had a coffeemaker delivered within an hour. The location is great if you like to spend most of your time at the pool, but it's quite a hike from the beach.
I would suggest curtains in the master bedroom to darken the room at night since the lights from outside make it bright in that room at night.
Overall, the condo was fine, but for a longer term stay, there are some improvements I would need to see to stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
There must have been a mosquito breeding area right outside our door. We spent the first 45 minutes of our first night killing 24 mosquitoes that had unknowingly flown into the condo. We got smart and bought a can of Raid for spraying around the door the next few nights. The living room rug smelled like urine, so I rolled it up and leaned it against the wall for the entirety of our stay. There was literally no communication from the property manager other than check in/out instructions. I reached out twice regarding a problem with the living room TV recognizing the cable box and never got a response. We eventually gave up on it and never got it working. There was significant water damage in the kitchen and around the master bath shower with mold growth. The condo needs an update. Dishwasher detergent is not provided. Comforter in master was dirty and I didn't use it. Location was great! The clean towels provided smelled really nice! Would probably not stay in this same unit again unless updated and repaired. Check in/out process was simple and convenient.
The condo was all we could have asked for. Very clean, close to the beach and even closer to the pool. Loved our stay and hope to return!
Wish our messages to the property manager regarding internet and cable were returned but we resolved our questions on our own and with help from the person at the pool desk.
Definitely check out this listing!!
Quiet neighborhood with security, 2 pools, laundry on site, charcoal grills, gazebos and friendly neighbors. The unit was a great choice for our family of 4.
We always enjoy or time on the island!!! We come down 2-3 times a year. We love when we can find a place in AB because it’s close to everything we want to do!
My husband, daughter and I had a great trip! The condo was clean and well stocked with everything you need. The wifi was spotty but when I let Ann Marie know she quickly called the cable company for a repair. The only negative thing I can say is the beds weren’t super comfortable but they were perfectly fine for the week. Everything else was awesome and the condo was well priced! The condo is right next to the pool and close to the beach. We would ABSOLUTELY stay again!
Weather was perfect, condo was much better than expected. My wife and two adult sons came to NC for a family reunion and decided to stay at the beach for a few days instead of closer to where the reunion was held like we have done in the past. It was nice to be able to have our NC family come visit us at the beach to hang out in the days before the reunion. We will be doing this again!
late getting in due to owner leaving a mess but we were compensated with a later checkout time. Quiet community but thought we would have Ocean view but did not.
