Sands Villa-Atlantic Beach NC

[Bigbird130]

We really enjoyed our week here.
The most amazing this was we didn't see or have any contact with anyone for the whole week!
We have been timeshareing since 1981 and this is the first time I have ever seen this-it was a nice change from the usual phone calls and meetings to go to.
We had a 2 bedroom unit which had a great view of the ocean and we enjoyed having coffee out on the patio every morning.
The walk to the beach was a nice one on a boardwalkand when you got to the beach it was a nice gentle slope which made it easy to walk on.
It has a large outdoor pool but the heat was off which was a shame because the weather was sunny the whole time we were there except for the last day but there were not a whole lot of people there so I understand that the cost of heating it with no one there is a consideration.
They have a large heated indoor pool and jacuzzi though so that made it nice.
The grounds and building were very well maintained as was the unit.
We went out to eat two nights and we very satisfied with both places
We went to the Channel Marker and I had the blacked tuna,my companion had scallops and our other companion had lasagna and we were all very pleased with the service and quality of the food. We also went to Amos Mosquito's which was having a half price special on the entrees starting at 5.
I had the fish special which was very good ( Can't think of the name of the fish),My other companion had scallops and our other companion had pork chops.
We also tried the fried dill pickles-very good! Service was excellent as was the food
This was after the season so there wasn't much going on but we just wanted to sit on the beach and relax so it was perfect for us.
No complaints about the resort but just to let you know there are only 12 timeshares here so it's hard to get into.
