LIST OF UNIQUE PROPERTY FEATURES:

**Minimal Fees/Linens Included**
No unnecessary host/admin costs, just a cleaning fee and we provide sheets/bath towels/kitchen towels/mats and no additional cost.

**Renovated**
Nearly everything in this unit has been refreshed including floors, counters, backsplash, new appliances, fixtures, paint, scraped/painted ceilings, and all windows/sliders have been replaced.

**3rd Floor Ocean/Pool Vistas**
The main bedroom, main deck, and living area all have vistas of the ocean and private pool! Third floor is the ideal level to see completely over the dune and obtain the most optimal view of the ocean and beach. The picture in our listing with the pool/calm water/sunset is an exact representation of the view from our unit (no zoom).

**Top Floor**
No one above you stomping on floors during early or late hours.

**Location**
The unit is located just south of downtown Carolina Beach and a short walk from the famed Ocean Grille/Tiki Bar and Carolina Beach Greenway. This area is considered by NC locals to be the most charming area of the island. It is close enough to downtown CB to make it conveniently accessible but far enough away to avoid the hordes. We are a short walk to 6 eateries/bars including ice cream, a hidden gem breakfast place, pizza, dessert, and two of the most fashionable places on the island (The Spot Bar & Grille and Ocean Grille & Tiki Bar). We are a less than a 5-min. walk to the Ocean Grille/Tiki bar which is one very few true ocean front dining/bar options on the island and our personal favorite.

**Private Beach Access**
Our unit is not adjacent to a public beach access and has its own private access. This typically provides for a much less busy beach area.

**Roomy Ocean Front Deck**
We have a 4-person bar height table with comfortable chairs for ocean front dinners, family board games, or just calming to watch the waves. We also have a 2-person surfboard bar which is great for morning coffee or nighttime-time drinks.

**Covered Deck**
The ocean facing deck on our unit has a roof over it which is a rare find for top floor units. This is crucial after a hot day on the beach or when it is raining and you still want to sit outside and watch the waves.

**Abundant Natural Light**
Many condos have one sliding door on the front and one window on the back. This unit has an upsized 3 pane sliding door and window on the front with two sliding doors and a window on the back. This provides a tremendous amount of light and makes the place feel very open and airy.

**3 Decks**
In addition to the oceanfront deck, the unit also has 2 decks on the back. This adds more outdoor space, more natural light, and provides sunset vistas in addition to ocean vistas.

**Oceanfront Pool**
Our pool is right next to the ocean so you can hear the waves and feel like you are still connected to the beach.

**Smaller Complex**
Being a smaller complex makes things feel a bit more private, slow, casual, and beachy.

**Lots of Extras**
The unit is well supplied with pantry/kitchen items, soaps, shampoos, starter pack of TP/paper towels, and plenty of other cool extras including beach gear (beach cart, 4 adult chairs, 2 kids chairs, beach canopy tent, body boards, paddle ball and bocce ball), Google Home Mini for music/questions/weather, Tiki Ring Toss game on the deck, intelligent TVs in every room w/ cable subscription/Spectrum App, white noise machines in both bedrooms, charging station for phones/ipads, wireless phone chargers in main bedroom, books, DVDs, puzzles, board games, toys, coloring supplies and more!

**Sleeping Arrangements**
The king bed in the main bedroom, single over full bunk in guest bedroom, and queen fold out couch in living room offer tons of sleeping options to accommodate our max. occupancy of 6.

RULES:

**Occupancy**
Our property is great for families and modest groups of responsible adults. Max occupancy is 6. We do not allow events. We have neighbors who live in the facility and the expectation is that our renters will respect our place and our neighbors.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, shift your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. ~RENOVATED~ Top Floor Views, Oceanfront, Pool, Spacious Deck, Desirable Area has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
