The ground level of this beautiful two-story home has a large yard for fido to play in, two carports, and a park-style charcoal grill. Under the carport you will find the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, outside shower and fish cleaning table. Enter the house on the first living level to find three cozy bedrooms and full bathroom in the hall. Bedroom 1 has two single beds and a high definition smart TV, bedroom 2 has two sets of bunk beds, one of which has a trundle bed under it, and bedroom 3 has a queen bed with a hideaway bed in the closet, as well as a smart TV and en-suite half bathroom.
Living level 2 features a lovely juniper-accented great room with a 50” high definition smart TV, cathedral ceilings, comfy furnishings, and access to the south facing sun deck with ocean views. On this level you will find a full bath with a walk-in shower adjacent to the top-level Queen bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with granite counter tops and stainless-steel appliances, great for throwing together delicious meals to be served in the adjacent dining area, or dine alfresco on the screened porch! Exit the screen porch to the top-level deck where you will find the hot tub ready for you to relax in after a long day of walking the beach.
You will gain keyless access to the home via a Wi-Fi enabled smartlock no more than 1 hour prior to checking in. The entrance to the home is on the 2nd floor deck up the steps that begin at the bottom of either side of the car port.
There are up to 4 parking spots available at the home, 2 under the car ports and 2 in the driveway. Parking shouldn’t be an issue as you’re a 2 minute walk to the Bosun Court Beach Access and just about everywhere you’ll go has available parking.
We want you to know how grateful we are that you have decided to stay at our home for your recharging and recuperation time! We hope that you and your friends and family have a great stay here with us! Sharing our home with others truly brings us delight! We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do when we have the ability to come down for a visit!
That being said, we ask that you would respect our home like it was your own. We want you to have a good time, but not at the expense of the home itself or any of the property within the home. Thank you in advance to adhering to these rules. We trust that you know they are there for a reason and that’s to allow you to have as much fun as possible and be safe while doing it while respecting the home, the property, and the neighbors. Thank you and enjoy your stay! ☀️🏖🏄♀️🏊♀️🏝🚤🏄♂️🏇🤿🌅
The home stays stocked with several starter supplies, such as dish washing detergent, Clorox wipes, toilet paper, some other household items. Please be prepared that you will likely need to supplement with your own items during your stay.
Pet Fee
We enjoy bringing our two dogs, Max and Daisy, with us on vacation with us. For this reason we are a dog-friendly rental. We allow up to 2 dogs, up to 50 lbs. each.
(Sorry, no cats allowed.)
- At the time of booking please indicate that you are bringing your canine family member(s) with you so we can make sure that the pet fee is satisfied.
- We charge a one-time $129 non-refundable pet fee to bring your dog(s) with you. We dont like to charge this fee, but inevitably we will have dog-guests that cause damage to the home/property.
- Sorry… No cats allowed… It’s not that we don’t like our feline friends. It’s just that they sometimes leave permanent messes…
Travel Insurance
It is HIGHLY recommended and encouraged that you get travel insurance prior to traveling to the Outer Banks. As beautiful as the OBX is, the weather is a very real threat. If you dont currently have a travel insurance agent we recommend going online and compare prices and coverage. There are typically several options to choose from all of which are between only 3% and 8% of your reservation cost. Cancellations due to forced evacuation, including but not limited to flooding or hurricanes, will not be refunded and must be covered by travel insurance. Do not book this property if this is not acceptable to you. Per the North Carolina Vacation Rental Act (NCVRA), if travel insurance is waived or not procured there will be no host-funded refunds for mandatory evacuations.
Rental Agreement
North Carolina Vacation Rental Act (NCVRA) requires all rental guests to sign a standard rental agreement. This will be emailed to you upon making the reservation and must be signed prior to arrival. You will not be given a door code or granted access to the property without signing the vacation rental agreement, per North Carolina transient rental law.
House Rules
- Parties are not allowed.
- The main guest booking the reservation must be at least 25 years of age.
- Smoking is not allowed in the home or on the property. If you smoke inside the home you will be charged a $250 fee and increased cleaning fees as well as any damages the smoke causes.
- Parking is only permitted in the driveway, not in the yard.
- Dog poo clean-up is your responsibility. Please clean all dog poo from the yard prior to check-out.
- If dog poo is found in the yard there will be an additional $50 charge for dog poo removal.
- Dogs are not permitted on beds or furniture. It is VERY difficult to get dog hair out of linens and blankets.
- If dog hair is found on linens and blankets there will be an additional $150 charge for hair removal.
- Children are not permitted in the hot tub unless supervised by an adult.
- Alcohol is not permitted in or near the hot tub. Use hot tub at your own risk.
- Unless otherwise communicated, late checkout or early checkin is not allowed. Our housekeepers are on a very tight schedule and their time is valuable. Feel free to send us a message to inquire, but please dont be surprised if we cannot accommodate.
- Soap, shampoo, toiletries, condiments, and charcoal are not provided.
- Max allowed human beings in this home is 11 total. This home is on a septic system and too many guests can put a strain and cause serious damage to the system. If there are found to be more than 11 human beings staying on the property they will asked to leave immediately or risk the remainder of the reservation being cancelled and no refund will be given. (We hate to sound harsh and threatening. but replacing a septic tank can cost upwards of $20K).
- There is a Ring Doorbell camera on the front door to ensure that the number of individuals on the reservation match the number of individuals on premises.
-If the Ring Doorbell is covered, removed, damaged, or tampered with all guests will immediately be evicted and no refunds will be given. (We hate to be harsh, but this is only to protect our amazing guests, ourselves, and the property.)
- In the summer months the home can get very warm. Keeping the blinds and drapes shut during the day can help keep the home cooler during the day. Please keep the air conditioners set no cooler than 71 degrees on these hot days. Lowering the AC units into the 60’s may result in the AC units becoming overworked and freezing up resulting in no air conditioning at all.
- We do have some minor check-out duties that you will be asked to complete prior to checkout. Nothing major, but we wanted to mention it. More details are available in our digital welcome guide that will be sent to you prior to your reservation.
From time to time, maybe once or twice a year, the front yard and driveway can accumulate st
