I had a great stay in this unit for a long weekend. My favorite is the location- a short walk to the beach and down the road from Fort Macon State Park.
This efficiency apartment was a great size for myself and my granddaughter. We were visiting relatives and Morehead city, and this was very convenient to them.
We were very impressed with our stay. The place was so close to the beach, extremely clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a romantic getaway. Would highly recommend!
We booked for a last minute short getaway. The best feature of the property was the convenient beach access. The unit was quiet, clean, and appeared to be recently updated. The futon was uncomfortable to sleep on for an adult. We would book again but would probably bring an air mattress. It's probably fine for small kids. Highly recommend for a short beach getaway.
The room was spotless. Only issue was the cleaning fluid overwhelmed us so we opened the windows, turned on the fans and went to dinner. Problem solved.
Ocean Sands will be looking really nice next summer I am sure.

The unit we stayed was very nice with the exception of the pull out sofa.It was not the normal pull out sofa.It did not have springs to give cushion when lie down. The sofa in my unit had wooden slats that were beneath the cushions.Very uncomfortable....let me repeat....very uncomfortable.The unit is described as sleeping for 4 people.NOT really.It would be kinda ok for 3 adults.If the pullout sofa had not been so uncomfortable I would rate this place higher.On the plus side....the pool was nice and easy to get to.The property was quite.The parking was good.The location was good and close to restaurants and a good grocery store.

Someone hit my car and ran. Did not leave a note or any information. parking spaces way to narrow. I even parked not next to other cars.
I could not have asked for a better place to stay during our vacation! When we entered, it was very clean and the AC kept the room very cool from the start. The beach was never crowded in front of the complex. It was a sandy beach and great for swimming! The pool was kept at the perfect temperature. It was clean and also not crowded.
The location is fantastic. 10 minutes from the cute downtown of Morehead, which has great restaurants. Our favorite was sugarloaf island deli/yellowfin pub. It was also only 15 minutes from Beaufort where we did a few excursions and 30 mins from Emerald Isle…. Again, the perfect location!
I would definitely stay here again. I would recommend it for 2 people only. I would say it’s too small for kids, even though it has a futon/couch in addition to the bed.
This condo was very clean and the check in/check out process was easy. The complex was quiet and in an excellent location. It was a little smaller than expected, but it was plenty big enough for 2 people. Great place to stay!

Great stay
Great stay with exception of some mobile phone errors that led to mis communication with late check out
The unit was very clean, instructions were accessible and clearly written. The pool & beach were both very nice, neither was crowded. We'd definitely return!
It was the perfect size for two to stay and cook all our meals in. Easy beach access and folding chairs in the room made for a perfect relaxing weekend away from being stuck in our house for so long!
The unit was very clean we had everything we needed enjoyed eating at our favorite spot just a few minutes away, the Shark shack which we visit every time we come !
