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:

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.
