Housekeeping, Maintenance, Inspection & Cleaning Notes:
We believe a very clean & functional home is of the utmost importance for our guests upon arrival. Between each guest stay our beach homes are thoroughly cleaned, sanitized & inspected.

All of our in-house housekeepers are trained in our proprietary ‘Sparkling Clean’ cleaning process and as of 2025 every beach house contains at least one floor-cleaning Robot on-site. Our staff also includes a full-time licensed Builder, so if an unlikely maintenance issue does occur, you can feel confident it will be fixed fast!

As further commitment to delivering an exceptional stay a ‘Quality Assurance Inspection’ occurs prior to arrival.

Pet Friendly Guidelines:
We love dogs and are happy to have your four-legged family members join you. Due to additional detailed cleaning required following a pet stay we do request a fee of $25 per night.

Please note:
• One dog max
• Some breeds may not be permitted due to insurance restrictions
• This fee does not include excessive pet hair removal, stain removal on fabrics or droppings pick-up

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home and property. For those, that enjoy clean laundry, like us, we have a washer + dryer set up in it's own laundry room.

Other things to note:
Check-Out Expectations: We invest a lot of time, money and effort to deliver exceptional stays for our guests. If deliberate damage, disrespect or lack of basic cleanliness is identified during the check-out inspection process, the guest of record will be charged to compensate needed cleaning and ensure the property is ready for incoming guests.

Local Area Info:
We love sharing our favorite local eateries, activities and beach living secrets. Our website is full of our personal content & information, it can be a great resource whether you stay with us or at another place.

For guests that do stay with us, we provide a guide that most incoming guests have found helpful in planning their OBX adventure. Additionally, we are available and happy to share any specific food or activity recommendations our guests may have questions about.
