Two bedroom, two bath, rental at Atlantic Beach, NC. Great family spot
with: Indoor "and" Outdoor pool, 150 ft. waterslide for the kids, huge
grassy play area with jungle gym, tennis, pickelball, and basketball

we've been coming for over 20 years. This unit has a pool and amazing
ocean view. No lousy parking lot view here... Unit has two bedrooms and
sleep 6 people (1 bdrm. with King bed, 1 bdrm. with twin beds, plus a
pull-out sofa). Easy access to the beach via the on-property boardwalk.
Property is "A Place at the Beach III" and has been a great family
destination for many years. Rooms are large, amenities great, with lots
to do in the area. Fort Macon is walking distance right down the street,
and the NC Aquarium is only a short distance away. This is the best time
of the Summer and will be gone quickly. July 6th - July 13th (Sun - Sun
check-in). Sorry, pets are not permitted!

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
