The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Start the dishwasher
Remove leftover food and drinks
Lock the doors
Please ensure the key fob for the private beach access is left on the coffee table. This is very expensive and time consuming to replace. There will be a $150 replacement fee if not present.

About the host
Hosted by Heather
I grew up in Morehead City, NC and moved to the capital for school and work. I finally fulfilled a life long dream and purchased a home ON the island! I am so excited to share my beautiful, lovingly renovated home and incredible beach paradise!
Why they chose this property
Privacy is a rarity on the island and you will forget anyone else is on the island when you relax in the back yard.
What makes this property unique
Ocean front parking is quite rare. Our private gated lot with outdoor shower and bike rack is perfect! Just a block from the pier means, bathroom and convenience store facilities are close by. Walking on the pier is free!
The Cedar Street sound front park is a short 0.2mi walk from the house and is perfect for sunsets against the backdrop of the EI bridge.
