Absolutely love Ivy's home. We have stayed at this complex in a different unit before and definitely prefer Ivy's location. The proximity to the pool and beach access is almost unbeatable. The interior of her home is clean, smells great, and has plenty of kitchen/bathroom supplies. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay at Atlantic Beach

Loved this condo. Very nice, very clean, and 3 bedrooms each with a private bathroom made it very nice for our group. Also, short walk to the beach, and close proximity to great restaurants, fishing, and the whole beach experience. The host is wonderful also and super responsive to any needs and will help in any way.

Always a great choice

We have stayed in this unit multiple times now and also in a couple of other units in this complex. We keep coming back to A Better Boat. I love that it's right by the entrance to the pool and close to the crosswalk to the beach. Ivy is a great host!

Best Rental We've Ever Had!

Beautiful townhouse, so clean and loaded with everything you would want from kitchen condiments to nice washer and dryer, 3 floors, nice for couples' privacy, easy walk to beach and pool right outside door. Home is soundproof; no noise from pool or adjoining walls. We cooked a lot; Food Lion is close by, kitchen had everything from an air fryer to coffee machines; lots dishes, we used all. I recommend Better Boat and hope to return next year. Kalene O.

A very well presented property with everything catered for; inventory in an abundance in every aspect. Nothing was overlooked.

Great Location

This is a beautiful property. It is only minutes from the beach. A short walk across the street. There is everything a person may need in the kitchen. Everything about it was comfortable and warm. The owner is easy to communicate with and it is exactly how it is listed. There are many stairs because it is 3 levels. It was not a problem for us, but it could be for someone who doesnt like stairs. The pool was very nice. We fully enjoyed this property.

Great place

We frequent the area and the complex. First time staying in this unit and everything was great. Only small complaint was that the wall anchors holding the curtain rods above the sliding back doors are coming out of the wall so we had to be very careful when opening and closing the curtains. Overall great place and responsive hosts.
