About this property

Got 99 Problems (But the Beach Ain’t One)

Watch the ocean from 2 separate decks, a bedroom, dinner table, you name it! This home has 3 bedrooms with their own full bathroom. All bedrooms do have TVs (either smart TVs, or with Amazon Fire sticks), that come with access to Paramount Plus and Disney Plus. However we do suggest spending your time on the decks watching the ocean, out at the park or pool with the young kids, or at the beach! There is a smaller living room on the first floor, a bigger main living room on the second, along with a loft area that acts as both a 4th bedroom, as well as a kids' play area!

Bdrm 1: Queen Bed
Bdrm 2: F/F bunk bed (twin trundle)
Bdrm 3: King Bed
Loft (Bdrm 4): F/F/F custom bunks, couch that pulls out to small bed
1st Living Area: Queen Sleeper Sofa
2nd Living Area: Couch

The space

You enter the home into the downstairs living room with a queen sleeper sofa and two master bedroom suites flanking it. In this lounge area, you will find a mini library as well as access to the ocean side deck. A sliding glass door takes you to the outdoor deck with an ocean view.

The oceanfront bedroom has a queen bed and its own private bath/shower.
This bedroom also has a desk if you'd like to get a little work done. There is an additional downstairs bedroom with a F/F bunk bed with a twin trundle, and also with its own private bath/shower. The ocean facing bedroom has a closet, but both have a dresser.

Continuing upstairs brings you past the laundry area at the landing with a recently updated washer/dryer. Up to the second floor you will enter the kitchen and living area. The kitchen comes with stainless appliances, granite counter tops and island, and solid maple cabinets.

From the open concept living space, guests will enjoy a gorgeous ocean view from the many windows. A large dining area is set off to the side of the kitchen for plenty of seating (8). Enjoy the ocean views while having your dinner! The living room provides loads of natural light from the large windows extending into the cathedral ceilings. Access to the oceanfront deck is provided through the door in the living room.

There is a master suite off this area, with a king bed and jetted bath tub/shower. This room also includes a dresser, and closet. This bedroom also has an adjustable height desk for use as a workstation. If you wish to use the jets, ensure the water is up above the jets/filters, and then you need to turn on the switch at the bedroom entry then press the button on ledge of the tub. Use at your own risk!

On the landing to the third floor is a small half bath leading up to the bedroom loft which boasts a custom built triple bunk built into the walls (F/F/F). This also has a new couch, that pulls out to make a small bed. It's a lovely play area for the kids, or anyone that wants a little more separation and to get away from the rest of the group! This loft also has a 32" TV which has an Amazon Fire Stick to log onto applications for streaming etc.

As of 03/31/2023, the pool is scheduled to open 04/15/2023 and then close for the season 10/31/2023.

** Due to COVID-19: Additional restrictions or unexpected closures may occur per HOA. **

Don’t forget your linens! By default, linens are not provided during your stay. You are welcome to bring your own linens, or we have linens/towels that you may rent from us, or we can offer a 3rd party linens rental service.

If you rent from us, not only should it be cheaper than using a 3rd party, but we will also MAKE the beds for you! I don't know if there's anything worse than having to spend the first bit of your vacation making beds, after the long drive in getting there.
$25 increased cleaning fee (flat).
$13/11/10/8 for sheets (K/Q/F/T, respectively)
$2 for each bath towel
$1 for each hand towel/washcloth

Pets are allowed, however it comes with increased pricing.
We recommend you get renters insurance
Cleaning fee is $25 more (flat fee, but subject to further increase if the cleaners go in to clean and see severe mess/hair etc)
Refundable deposit increased by $250
Additional $15 per night for first pet, $10 for second.

Other things to note
We leave beach/pool items in the closet for their free use by our guests. With that said, these items may have been taken, broken, or otherwise not useable. Please use at your own risk. This beach inventory was done on Sept 7, 2021, and the following items were there.

5 boogie boards in 2 sizes, 2 don't have the wrist wrap thing.
2 2.5 ft * 6 bamboo sand mat (1 very near end of its useful life) 1 3 * 8 (just eyeballing them, so approximate sizes)
2 one pole umbrella
1 3 section beach chair/recliner
4 run of mill cheaper style beach chairs
1 nicer tommy bahama beach chair
2 beach balls
1 puddle jumper swimmy. I think it says 30-50 lb.
7 pool noodles
1 baby seat float thing (with a shade)
1 Pool donut float
1 pool float couch thing
Then assorted beach toys (shovel, bucket, frisbee, etc)

Perfect family weekend
The townhouse was perfect for our family getaway. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Location is great, close to everything you need: stores, recreational activities, restaurants and of course the beach. Host was very responsive and easy to work with! Look forward to staying again in the future!

Great Location!
The location was great as it was very close to the beach, a playground, and right across from a couple of bars and a convenience store. The beach was clean, no garbage, and the fishermen there were very friendly. Extra parking for guests was in a lot by the playground. The unit had beach chairs, sand toys, and everything you need for a fun day at the beach!

Great place for all ages
It was the best time with our extended family. Three levels divided up with plenty of space. A downside is a lot of stairs if you have someone that can’t do them. On the other hand tons of gates built in to all floors for small children or pets. Great area that has a swimming pool right outside and a playground across the street, with a lending library. The beach is so nice, my biggest complaint is the sand was too fluffy! Lol. Tons of sea glass near there. The trailer bar is on the other side of the street and was perfectly fine and the music was nice to hear. Not too loud. Rent a golf cart in advance and drive around the island. A bit of confusion on the parking situation. Only two cars go underneath and there is other parking spaces near the apt but you may not see them. If you park across the street in the Public lot overnight, you will be fined. They drive around daily and check. So if you have multiple cars, you may have to do some switching around. Overall it’s the best place to bring multigenerational family members. Thank you to Dan and family for sharing this great vacation home.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Pauley

Host profile image
My wife and I are from NY (Syracuse and Binghamton). She moved to Charlotte in High School, went to WCU (Cullowhee, NC) for undergrad in Nursing, and UNC Charlotte for her masters, and works as an NP in urogynecology for feminine health. I went to Duquesne (Pittsburgh, PA) with a degree in Finance (maybe 15 credits from having Sports Marketing and Broadcast Journalism degrees as well... didn't know what I wanted to do!). I have gone on to receive a CFA Charter. We live in Charlotte with 3 kids.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely LOVE the location! The park is right across the street, and you can see most of the park from inside the unit. The beach access is right across the street, and it's a rounded access vs stairs, so certain wheeled items should be able to make it over. There is a nice bar right across street for when you're sick of the children. Even the pier is only 2 miles away, so everything is a short jaunt!

What makes this property unique

We offer beach items for our renter's use for free.

We offer linen rentals. Which we make the beds, instead of just having the linens in a bin when you check in (like the rental companies of the area).
