A Place at the Beach III

The Resort & Setting

A Place at the Beach III sits directly in Atlantic Beach, Carteret County, on North Carolina's Crystal Coast — part of the wider Outer Banks region. It's an independent resort offering 1- and 3-bedroom condo-style units, along with on-site pools and tennis courts, suited to families and couples who want a straightforward beach base rather than a full-service resort experience. With a 4.3/5 rating from over 840 Google reviews, it has a solid track record as a no-frills, well-located option for repeat beach vacationers.

The Area & Things to Do

Atlantic Beach is a classic Crystal Coast town, and the resort's address on E Fort Macon Rd puts owners and renters within easy reach of the area's best-known spots. The Atlantic Beach Boardwalk, less than a mile away, has shops, restaurants and direct beach access. Crystal Coast State Park and Crystal Coast Pier are both a short drive away for swimming, fishing or just a walk along the sand. History and nature fans can head to Fort Macon State Park, home to a restored Civil War-era fort, beaches and hiking trails, or visit the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores to see the region's marine life up close. Summer is peak season for swimming and water sports, while spring and autumn bring quieter beaches and good conditions for walking and birdwatching along the coast.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at A Place at the Beach III and are ready to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and we don't take a commission — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to post their week.

Because A Place at the Beach III is an independent resort, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded exchange company's resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with the resort's management: the current transfer fee for changing the deed or membership into the buyer's name, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process typically takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so it's worth getting them in writing from management before any money changes hands. A resale buyer should also ask exactly what is included — the unit week or points only, or any additional perks the original owner may have had — since resale purchases don't always carry over everything a developer-direct purchase would.

Practical Notes for Renters & Buyers

Renters are typically looking for straightforward, well-located beach accommodation with enough space for a family — which fits the resort's 1- and 3-bedroom layout. A car is useful for exploring beyond Atlantic Beach, and the nearest major airport is around 45 minutes away, with Wilmington International and Raleigh-Durham International serving as larger regional hubs. Anyone booking for summer should plan well ahead, as coastal weeks during peak season tend to move quickly.
