Suncatcher- Ocean Front Home in Atlantic Beach, NC

This property is in an excellent location and has so much potential to be a A property. However, it is in need of some TLC. The furnishings and beds were very dated and many items were stained and not in good shape. The carpet in the entry has a huge stain, the ceiling fans wobble horribly, light fixtures have burned bulbs, the ceiling paint is peeling/cracking in the living room, the blinds don’t open in most bedrooms, the bedding (comforter/shams) are very worn, and the 2 chairs and couch cushions are stained and dingy. We battled ants in the kitchen and bugs, alive and dead, multiple times. Overall, this did not ruin our vacation, but seeing the potential and knowing how great this place could be with some minor improvements is really too bad. Things just look like they’ve been around a long time with lots of use. One thing to note is that the nearby bar does live music and/or karaoke on Fri and Sat nights until 11:00 PM and it’s very loud inside the lower bedrooms. Also, the bedrooms that back up to the public parking lot have floodlights that shine through the windows all night. I will say that the bedrooms are very nicely spaced out and none of them share a wall. Very private and quiet from room to room which is nice for multiple families staying together. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and the large amount of space that the house provided. We would consider booking again, but would love to see a small refresh happen to enhance the experience.

Everything was great as expected! Will definitely stay here again ?

Nice place enjoyed our stay. Property is well equipped with everything you need to enjoy the beach. Restaurants and bars within walking distance. The grill is old and wasn't functioning properly but otherwise everything was great.

Our family of 6 adults and 1 infant truly enjoyed our stay at Suncatcher. Sitting on the decks with an unobstructed ocean view and walking just over the dunes to the beach was my favorite part of our vacation. We saw gulls, pelicans, dolphins, lizards and beautiful vistas. Because the house is centrally located, we were able to walk or bike to restaurants, shopping, and Fort Macon. Our family loves to cook, so we were very impressed with the variety of the available utensils, place settings and cookware. Our king-sized bed was firm yet comfortable with clean linens and fresh pillows. I loved the open plan of the top floor and the privacy of the bedrooms on the level below. The only complaints I have, and the reason for the 4-star rating for cleanliness, is the family room chairs should be replaced, reupholstered or thoroughly shampooed because they have obviously been well used and the windows needed washing. Even so, I would definitely recommend staying at Suncatcher.

The property was very nice. When we arrived at the property, the clothes drier wouldn’t dry our clothes. After calling the property manager, the problem was fixed within 4 hours. The property was okay clean, but there were some piles of sand behind doors, there some sticky spots in the floors around the kitchen, and there were clothes left in drawers and closets. Also, there were quite a few ants and palmetto bugs in the property. I understand that keeping ants and bugs completely under control is near impossible. They did put out some ant poison while we were there and I also saw someone spraying the perimeter of the property while we there so I think they are trying the best they can to keep bugs under control. We have stayed in several rental houses and condos and this was the most well stocked kitchen we have ever had. It is well labeled. There were good nonstick pans. We were able to cook pancakes and eggs without them sticking. It is right on the ocean. There is an open shower and a hose under the deck. There is also a hose on the second deck level and a hose spigot on the third level porch. The rooms closest to the public parking and beach access do get some noise from the parking lot through the night.

We have spent many summer vacations in Salter Path at our family’s place. We decided to rent a vacation house so we could include our adult children and grandchildren. The location was great! Close to restaurants and bars for the adults. Close to grocery store and of course beautiful beach views and swimming! The house was beautiful and spacious and included everything we needed.

Our 2nd time staying at this property. Everything was excellent! The upstairs AC wasn't cooling properly when we arrived but was fixed within 2 hours of us reporting the issue.

The house had no TV’s other than the one in the living room. The boom box speaker was older than all of my nephews. They didn’t know what a cassette player was. The walk out to the beach felt like a marathon with a hill included. The stairs on the house were steep, my nephews kept falling down the stairs.

Needs an elevator.

Nice stay on the beach
