Atlantis Lodge

Such a gem! Walk back into time with this amazing lodge. So very meticulously cared for. The grounds are amazing. The pool was so fun and hidden among the vegetation that you felt like you were in Florida. Rooms were adequate and well maintained. We already can't wait to return.

My husband and I have been staying at the Atlantis for over a decade. This was the first vacation we took together before we were married. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here this past week. I can’t believe I haven’t written a review before— maybe it’s because the rooms book up so far in advance that it feels wise to keep it a secret! LOL Even though I’m introverted, coming to the Atlantis feels like being part of a family. It’s very accommodating to dogs— dog people are just the very best. We especially love getting to see the reception staff— Marianna is always incredibly sweet and helpful. Jackie is a great conversationalist, and Debbie has been a fixture here since long before we started staying here. She knows everything there is to know and is an amazing resource! The #1 reason we love the Atlantis aside from the people is how clean it is! The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are *always* spotless. They take extensive measures for mold abatement— Ive never stayed in a mold free beachfront spot except at the Atlantis. We love that they leave “dog sheets” so that we don’t have to worry about getting the furniture furry. Going outdoors with the dogs, whether to the beach or the perfectly-sized dog park is also very pleasant. The Atlantis provides little dog poop shovels— if you’ve got your eyes peeled, you’ll find there’s always one within a few feet. We love being able to skip the plastic and throw their poop in the copious shrubbery. We have two big dogs, and the dog park is big enough for them to do zoomies and play the way they like to. I also notice that I don’t get too many big bites, so I wonder if they treat certain areas for mosquitoes. At the beach, our fuzziest boy loves to enjoy the ocean breeze on his own towel-covered lounge chair under an umbrella. The people on duty at the beach are always SO sweet, polite, and accommodating. They do a great job setting up shady spots in the sand for human and canine guests. In-room perks: every room we’ve stayed in is great! The way the Atlantis is designed ensures every guest has a view of the ocean. All porches are equipped with chairs, a footstool, and a clothesline with clothespins. There are hangers in the little closet, a broom and flyswatter, Kleenex. A nice roomy ikea dresser is a great size for all the clothes you want to bring, and with a little rearranging of the provided dinnerware, there’s plenty of space for pantry items in the cupboards. There are plenty of lamps so the ambiance is lovely even at night (no ugly overhead fluorescents like you get in some hotels). The TV and Wi-Fi work great. Most rooms we’ve stayed in have an L shaped sofa and a pull out bed. The accordion wall is one of our favorite features of the room; it does a great job at blocking out light where the bedroom half of the room is if one person wants to stay up late or sleep in. It’s only on recent trips that we ventured up to the lounge area, which is pretty cool. You can’t bring do

We traveled to Atlantis Lodge, booking a room for each family unit, with our 4 adult children + their kids + their dogs from July 31-Aug 4. Atlantis went to the effort to place us in adjacent rooms so that we shared the deck. Being able to mingle as a larger group out on the deck was fun and convenient. The walk to the sand from the lodge over their boardwalk which traverses the dune plantings is short. The swimming pool is smallish but very pleasingly designed, especially the very shallow section for the littlest guests, which is nicely shaded by mature trees. The most impressive part about the whole property is that it is authentic mid-century modern archietecture and furnishings, but the ownership has done a fantastic job of lovingly maintaining the property, keeping everything clean and in top working-order. Many small details were evident around the property like children's toys and beach accessories available on the patio, a misting system to cool the hot sand en route to the boardwalk from the beach, and pristine linens with sailcloth top covers provided for our pets. If I was to *search* my mind for any negatives, I can only come up with two: the WiFi was weak and the lodge is not especially close to any popular fast food venues. I cannot really fault AL for either of these, however, and overall think they have created a family beach trip jewel!

Being a guest feels like you are family. The seating areas around the property were great for the ocean views. This property is tucked away and a true gem in the area. Pet friendly as well. Will definitely be back!
