“Winter option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We needed accomodation for 4 friends in the dead of winter and the north shore does not have many options at that time of year. We were surprised to find that Cambra Sands was open all year and booked for two nights in their large cottage ( Aurora). Glad we did. Very comfortable with a large dining and living area where we could eat and chat in front of the gas fireplace. The well appointed kitchen let us cook at the cottage wthout having to search for local eateries in the off season. Even in winter the view is great over the water to Oak Island. The cost was slightly less than a motel in Wentworth and the ability to share the space in the comfortable dining and living room puts this cottage way ahead of a motel room as a good winter option.

“Weekend Rescue!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We had been booked at White Point and then tragedy struck and the beautiful main lodge was destroyed in a fire. Feeling disspointed and dejected, we were unsure of what to do. A friend of ours recommended Cambra Sands and we are so glad she did! Beautiful cottages, incredible views, serene and relaxing. We absolutely did not want to leave. Cambra Sands saved our weekend, and we will definitely be back!!!

Room Tip: All of them are magnificent.

“Beautiful Accomodations! Quiet and Peaceful Setting!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Thank you Cambra Sands for a wonderful weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st anniversary at your lovely property. The cottage was pristine, the warmth of the fireplace cozy! It was truly a spot to enjoy a walk on the beach, or just sit and have our coffee as we listened to the waves! We would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and just enjoy the serenity that Cambra Sands has to offer. You will not be disappointed!

“Perfect Romantic Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

I can't think of a more romantic and relaxing spot! Our cottage was beautiful and the waterfront location and beach was unbelievable. I highly recommend the romance package including dinner at Jubilee Cottage's dining room "Qi Sera." The meal was pure culinary art!
The proximity to Jost Vineyard's was a huge bonus too.

Room Tip: Highly recommend the cottage called "Castine" for those looking for a romantic getaway for...

“Beautiful spot to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

We stayed at Cambra Sands while attending a wedding in the area & were completely satisfied with the cottage, location and service. It was well equipped with everything we needed, had a beautiful view, comfortable beds and we enjoyed long walks on the beach with family and friends. Could have used a little morecomfy seating inside if you had 4 or more people, but it was fine for our 3 day stay.

Room Tip: Choose a cottage close to the shore for the best view (Leander) and most privacy.
