This was our first time in Atlantic Beach, and we had a fantastic time overall. The ocean views from the living room and balcony were gorgeous. The proximity to the beach was great, and it was close enough that the kids didn’t mind walking the steps to/from the third floor (warning - there are no elevators). The boys surf fished and built sandcastles almost every day, went to the pier a couple times, and we also did jet skiing and a private boat tour, which were located nearby. However cleanliness of the unit was an issue - there was a large, dead cockroach in the middle of floor when we arrived and then an even larger, live one on the third day. When I spoke with the rental company they said palmetto bugs are common there and they couldn’t do anything because they’d already sprayed earlier in the month. The kids got a kick out of me trying to kill it, which took about 15-20 minutes, so at least they got some free entertainment out of it. When I wiped the floor areas where the bug had been, it looked like the unit could have used a good mopping. Other than that, the beds were comfortable, having a half bath in one of the bedrooms was convenient, and the neighbors and locals were all very nice. I’m not sure we would stay here again, but we’ll definitely visit Atlantic Beach again next year.
