About this Property

Wonderful 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 savor if visitors would remove shoes at the front door.

***
New in 2021:
- Freshly colored throughout condo
- King bed and box springs in master
- Living room furnishings
- New TV's in two bedrooms (40")

***
Come with your own beach towels, but I have the other linens. Towels are in the dresser in the king bedroom. 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 included 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!

There is also a day dock on the sound side across the street, by the overflow parking lot and boat storage area.

Parking passes (2) supplied for your stay. Park in the parking lot, not under the building. If you don't find a space, there is an overflow lot across from building 1.

Safety First!! Sea: Please look at the warning signs/flags out at the beach. If you see red flags, that means NO SWIMMING.

Can you put a tent on the beach? Modest tents/canopies are allowed on our beaches, supplied they are properly secured (tents over 200 ft & canopies over 400 ft need a permit).

During your Stay

• To make certain no damages are associated with your stay, create a record of any problem areas of the property. We also recommend promptly phoning the rental home manager with a report of any wear and tear, together with your request for any critical repairs. If there is a disagreement about legal liability later, having the documented problems and contact attempts will probably be useful.
• If there is any ambiguity about vehicle parking, policies of the property, house access, swimming pool operation, etc... we suggest you ask the rental home manager promptly. A quick phone call avoids many headaches.
• Don't forget to respect your nearby neighbors. Natives are likely to be as friendly to you as you are considerate of them. Remember the golden rule and treat others the same way you'd like to be treated by vacationers next to your primary residence.
• Ask a local. Local people can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best nachos, have a great date night, or the best places for wildlife?
• Enjoy your stay! Make sure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, exactly like you would in your own home.

Check Out Time

• Check to make sure you've packed all your possessions. Sweep all the rooms in the house for forgotten items. Inspect bathrooms, the garage, kitchen cabinets, outdoor patios, the pool area, and anywhere else your personal property might "hide".
• Be sure to walk through the rental home one last time and look for property damage. We suggest walking through with the rental manager whenever you can (this may not be possible).. If the property manager is not available, be sure to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• How was your getaway? Nearly all vacation rental sites request feedback after your stay is complete. Property owners and rental managers will appreciate your glowing critiques. If something was wrong and they did not correct it in a practical manner, or if the rental was not as described, you will want to make it a point in your feedback.
