What a nice surprise when I opened our door! The view from our room and balcony was stunning! The turquoise ocean , sandy beach, and green courtyard full of plants and birds took my breath away. The room was clean and comfortable. My only concerns were the old-fashioned keys that could be a security concern and the window air conditioner right next to the bed. But even these "old-fashioned" things were part of the charm of this great place. They even have lounge chairs and umbrellas for the beach.

We found the Atlantis almost nine years ago and we go every year, even if we have another vacation planned. The Atlantis is charming, quiet, and comfotable. We took our lab every year with us unitl her death and every year she was thrilled to hop in the car and go -we were so thankful to find a hotel that allows pets. And even though our dog has passed away we still chose the Atlantis to stay. We love the fact that beach chairs and umbrellas are available for use without a charge and the pool is the best. It is nice to have a shaded area of the pool and our chidlren love the waterfall. We hope the Atlantis stays for many years and does not sell out for private homes. We leave again in four days for a week of stay-can't wait....

This wonderful place is the only place we will go anymore. It's just so perfect, from the uncrowded beaches, the very friendly owners and guests, to the "little things" service you receive. We are able to take our pet Sheltie which is the icing on the cake. They even provide grills for you to cook with! If you are looking for a little piece of heaven look no further than The Atlantis Lodge.

I have some thoughts to share about The Atlantis Lodge on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. This is a most miraculous and fabulous place to visit as the area is as well. There is a nautical charm here in this coastal setting by the ocean and just across the highway from the sound where the Intracoastal Waterway runs just inland from the sea.
The proprietors as their assistants are cordial, friendly, and caring as they preserve this wonder by the sea for many visitors from near and far. It's maritime environment is natural, and refreshing for the soul as it gives a great serenity of peace.
I am originally from Eastern North Carolina and think of our Crystal Coast as my home. I am very nautical minded and am a boater, as I have navigated the waters from The Chesepeak Bay of Virginia to The Florida Keys. I must tell you that the The Atlantis Lodge on The Crystal Coast of North Carolina is among my most favorite places to be, actually, it is my most favorite.
I enjoy visiting The Atlantis Lodge as frequent as possile for at least a few days and am very much looking forward to my up coming visit in a couple of weeks. The serenity of in all is simply being there to walk my dog Pebbles along the beach and know the glory of that moment and yes, to thank God for the experience.
