The sense of nostalgia is strong here — with swim stores and ice cream stands dotted along the boardwalk. It’s a throwback to simpler times and painless, fun family days spent strolling the shore for leisure.
Now, you will find fresh dining, beach stores and bars with high-quality beverages, with the same southern spirit and friendly vibe this area is known for.

Wave to passersby, watch the waves in the distance and wait for the sun to dip down over the ocean in a fiery glow.

Inside, relax and revel in the comfort of this freshly constructed townhome. Natural tones and textures bring in the feel of the outdoors with subtle sophistication and style.

The guest bedroom on this same floor is equally appealing, with a queen-sized bed and en suite walk-in shower. On the first floor, you will find an additional guest bedroom with another queen-sized bed, a washer & dryer and an en suite bathroom with a full shower and bath combo.

Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Crystal Coast area. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing your Crystal Coast rental home:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Marley's Retreat-Oceanside Townhome in Atlantic Beach, NC has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a particular Crystal Coast destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
