The home is a classic elegant southern beach home and features a private swimming pool, hot tub, elevator, 8 bedroom, 5 1/2 bathroom and 5 large balcony decks. The home has magnificent unobstructed water views from every room from every angle. It has a large gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and level 5 granite counter tops (installed Jan 2021), beautiful hard wood floor in the living area, elegant furnishings, and two living areas (for when the young adults want to have their own space). The home sleeps 17-19 comfortably. It is perfect for large family groups with several generations. Each room has flat screen TV for when you want to get away for some personal time.
The home sits on the second row of the very desirable “South Shore Drive” and is walking distance to town, restaurants and shops. South Shore Drive is a 25 mph, upscale oceanfront beach road that is only local traffic. It is wonderful for walking or bike riding. The home is steps from two beach accesses (one handicap access and wheel chair ramp). There is parking for 6 cars with additional parking available across the street.
The yard is like a private resort with fenced yard, swimming pool, outdoor seating, and dining and entertainment areas. There is a 6 foot outdoor bar counter for entertaining and food service. The property is beautifully landscaped with 10 large palm trees in the back yard for a tropical paradise feel, large ever blooming shrub roses, and foot messaging soft Bermuda grass.
There are two beach accesses a short walk across the street (one equipped with a handicap ramp).
This home was built in 2006 and was the private residence of the owner. We purchased the home from the original owner in late December 2015 and began renting for the 2016 season. We wanted to share our lovely home as a rental so that others could enjoy not only the quality of the home and all it has to offer but also to bring their entire family and have enough space to really relax and enjoy one another. It is decorated as luxury accommodations.
What you need to know about this home:
All deck furniture is not created equal! Ever go to a beach home that advertises great decks and find that there is either no deck furniture, not enough deck furniture or the furniture that they have is low cheap plastic seating that leaves you looking through the deck railing as though they were prison bars? This home features 18 height top ultra comfortable resin deck furniture spread over the 5 decks. In addition, there are 6 lounge chairs, and 2 resin picnic tables and 4 outdoor bar stools. What that means is that EVERYBODY has someplace to sit and enjoy the great outdoors!
All bedding is not created equal!
Ever go on vacation to a great home and not get the full rest and enjoyment because you couldn’t get a good night’s due to horrible bedding?? This home features ultra premium Simmons “Black” and Simmons “World Class” Beauty Rest mattresses. Everyone has good bedding in this home (including the bunk beds)!
All kitchens are not created equal!
The gourmet kitchen featuring granite counter tops and stainless appliances. For your cooking pleasure it is equipped with 18/8 stainless steel 3 ply cookware, with quality Chicago Cutlery knives, and Martha Steward kitchen gadgets to delight even the fussiest beach chef. There are ample bamboo and cherry cutting boards for food prep and the home is well stocked with dishware and glasses. We also have an assortment of plastic beverage ware so that you can enjoy your favorite margarita or soda on the by the pool and on the beach.
The seating for eating: The kitchen table seats 10 and there is an additional pub table that seats 6 as well as seating for 3 at the kitchen bar counter. In addition there is outdoor ding areas for those that prefer to eat outside either pool side.
TV entertainment:
The home has 10 TVs (most are smart TVs). Four of the 10 TVs have DVRs. The 75 inch Ultra 4K flat screen HDTV in the upper living area can be viewed with crystal clarity throughout the 3rd floor common area. This TV also has DVR and DVD player. The DVR is a nice treat you won’t find in many rentals. This allows you to record your favorite shows or pause live TV so that you can enjoy your vacation on your time, and not have to miss any of your favorite shows or sports events. You can also maximize your vacation time by recording your favorite shows and being able to fast forward through the commercials. This gives you more beach time with you family.
Family time in the common areas:
In the evenings when the sun is down and you are ready to wind down, sink into the butter soft leather sofas and chairs. Put your feet up on a leather ottoman, relax on the leather recliners or glider rockers and settle in for relaxation. Meanwhile, the kids may be enjoying their favorite shows, DVDs or games in the bunk rooms or first level common sitting area. The lower living area gives the children and young adults their own place to hang-out. When the kids are happy…. The adults are happy! !
The views:
Since this is one of the highest elevation homes in Surf City, Spectacular Ocean, sound and town views are available from nearly every window and every angle of this reversed floor plan home. Reversed floor plan means that the bedrooms are on the lower levels and the main living area is on an upper level to take advantage of the great views. To be honest, this house is so ideally located that you will think every deck is your favorite view! You can even see the Surf City turning bridge from the deck of the home.
