About this Property

Stunning oceanfront condo with great Atlantic Sea vistas. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths. All one level inside, with elevator and/or the stairwell to get up one level to the unit (parking is underneath on the ground level). A ideal day would be the playing on the beach, a little pool time, nap time, and then sit on the screened outdoor space watching the sunset. And I named it "Sweet Beach Music" which you may see on the emails.

Self check-in and self check-out.

This is a no smoking unit. No smoking around the pool, elevators, second floor common areas.
Renters must park in the designated spaces in front of the building, not under the buildings. I would value if visitors would remove shoes at the front door.

***
New in 2019:
- Central air conditioning

***
Come with your own beach towels, but I have the other linens. We have a washer-dryer in the unit; but please bring your own detergent and dryer sheets.
***
The kitchen is completely supplied with pots and pans; and you can use the charcoal grilles located by the parking lot to prepare a ridiculous dinner while you are there - steaks and/or seafood on the grille? Or how about just hamburgers and hot dogs? I have supplied a picture of the grille area for our building. There are also some good eateries close by.
***

Like most of the condos on this beach, the cell phone connection is sketchy inside the unit. You might have to walk out on the parking lot side to get a connection. Or just step into the first bedroom, by the entrance and you should be able to get a call.

Check-in is at 4 p.m.; check-out at 10 a.m. Ask me in advance if you need earlier or later.

This complex is near the Carteret county aquarium, ranked 9th in the country, and Pine Knoll Shores, which was freshly advertised in Coastal Living!

Keep an eye out for these guides and promotional books, since this allows visitors to take advantage of those terrific activities at a generally considerable discounted.
• Want to steer clear of the crowds? Off-season rates are usually a fraction of high costs.
• Several property management companies and owners offer price reductions for active and veteran men and women of the US Armed forces, or returning individuals to the same rental home. Be sure to confirm with property owner to see if your visiting gang is eligible for a markdown.
• Some properties are primarily designed for particular types of vacationers. Large event homes are ideal for weddings, wedding receptions and corporate escapes. Some homes appeal to wildlife enthusiasts. Other rentals are positioned close to music venues. Be sure to prioritize your proximity to the outdoor activities and places of interest you are most interested in.
• Consider getting trip insurance together with your leasing contract. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base rental cost, provides travellers reimbursement of their travel costs for any days missed a result of personal health related emergencies or weather, in addition to ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or expenses, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforseen happens .
