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 beautiful 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 trendy 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 outfitted 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!

Strategies to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
