🍁 HOT TUB👉🏼 mid-SEPT. 2025!

👉🏼We have all checked into a vacation rental and it didn’t cut it. There weren’t enough towels, the bed was uncomfortable, the kitchen wasn't stocked well, or maybe it just didn’t feel clean. This is not that‼️

At top-notch in NC, our family’s small business pours a lot of love and energy (and the kids’ college fund…no, just kidding - sort of) into our properties to make each one a unique, luxurious and cozy second home for your stay. ….having hosts with OCD does have its benefits - you will see ☺️^

{Luxury by the Sea}

🏡Welcome to your professionally designed, eco+ and family-ready luxury coastal retreat. This all-inclusive, 4 story custom beach home is professionally designed and appointed with high quality comforts and amenities to elevate your vacation. We don’t charge you extra for amenities that you would expect a coastal vacation home to have!! Linens, towels, beach bikes, beach gear, EV golf cart, and more - no extra fees!

Without a doubt, the luxury hot tub, espresso machine and coffee bar, decorated outdoor spaces, and private beach will be on the list of highlights of your stay!

I just have to say this: the yellow paint on the walls is very off-brand 😂 once we get a break in the action, guess who will be going in there to wallpaper, paint, and apply shiplap?!

⚓️Washer & dryer in hallway.

ENTRY LEVEL – Beach & Outdoor Essentials.

⚓️Beach essentials - we provide almost all the things you will need: umbrellas, beach chairs, beach bikes, cart, boogie and skim boards, cornhole and other games, life vests, and more!

🍁 HOT TUB coming Fall 2025!

🩵A few things that make us extra special:

🏝️ This home has private community beach access, meaning you won’t have to use public beach access points or fight the crowds to enjoy your beach days. Ocean City residents and guests have a private entry to the beach, mapped on the last photo of this listing. No more than a three minute walk to your private, uncrowded beach!

🫧 Eco-friendly, natural, professional, high quality, and hypoallergenic soaps, detergents, and cleaning products. No rashes or toxic poisoning on our watch!

⭐️ Premium quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other surprises sprinkled throughout the home will bring a spa essence to your beach week, and truly elevate your vacation.

⭐️You won’t pay extra for things you actually need: linens, towels, beach gear, parking, and beach access. Even some luxuries are included- like bikes, a golf cart, whole bean coffee, a few bougie things, private beaches, and live plants to clean the air you breathe, and more!

❌ And we don’t do “starter packs of essentials” - our goal is to provide enough high quality bath tissue, paper products, soaps, detergents, etc. for your stay!

Life is too short to spend it in a cubicle. Let's be wild & free!

I am on my third self-reinvention! After having children, I realized climbing the corporate ladder wasn’t in alignment with our core values as a family & the life we want to live. Instead, investing in real estate and hosting guests provides a creative outlet, something to build and leave for our children's future, & a meaningful way to give back to our community. All the feels!
