"We had a great stay! The room was newly renovated, and I believe we were either the first guests to stay in it or very close to it. Everything was extremely clean and looked just like the pictures. The location was great with easy, close access to the beach. 🌊 The hotel is still under construction, so not all of the hotel or amenities are available yet. Right now, it’s basically just the room, but that didn’t bother us for our stay. Once everything is finished, I think this is going to be an...

DoubleTree by Hilton Atlantic Beach Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"We had a blast"

Hotel Alice At Atlantic Beach

8/10 Good

"Awesome experience"

The Beacon

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a hidden gem. The owner, Christina, is amazing and very attentive to guests and is very pet friendly. It was clean, newly renovated, and adorable. The outdoor area has wonderful surprises like a ping pong table, cornhole, and other games. There's an outdoor seating area with full grill and the store across the street was very convenient for anything you may have left at home, groceries, and other necessities. The only drawback may be for anyone with mobility issues. Beach Access requires navigating down steps to get from atop the dunes to the beach. However there's is a wonderful seating area on the deck above the dunes where sunset viewing is delightful. The hotel is conveniently located midway between Atlantic Beach and emerald Isle making both ends of the island very accessible. Christina had done a wonderful job of thinking and including all the little things that make this place feel welcoming and like family. Definitely check it out!"
