The space
Remodeled Sept 2020 - All of our creativity and adore went into making The Aether a unique and opulent hideaway. We decided to create a twist on the port city feel by making it Steampunk influenced. From the portholes, to the ships galley designed with up-cycled furnishings, we created The Aether. We hope you savor all the fun details we put into making this a extravagant and fun hideaway! Fresh steamed Luxury Linens & Bathrobes await you. Savor and relax in comfort as you read the story of Anne Bonny, the most famed female pirate to sail during the Golden Age....Join us in The Aether!

**This listing was completely modernized after Hurricane Florence damaged the building extensively in 2018, with restoration ending June 2020, and our remodeling finished and re-listed Oct 2020**
Guest access
The condo is yours to appreciate, there are coin laundry machines located across the hallway. There is an elevator, but it is sometimes out of service.
Other things to note
The condo faces Front Street which is great for people watching and festivals, it may get noisy at nighttime, definitely on Friday and Saturdays. We added thick cellular blinds and heavy black out draperies when we refreshed, and provide complimentary ear plugs for your comfort if needed. :-)

There is an elevator, I can NOT guarantee it will be working during your stay as it is original to the building and prone to being cranky. The condo is on the 2nd floor, there are granite stairs.

We pay for monthly parking in a public garage, with pedestrian access across the street from our building.

Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. The Aether - Luxe King -1 BLK 2 RVR- Free PKG has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
