From the front door of our condo, you are steps away from putting your toes on the beach! Our pretty, newly modernized 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo offers modern beach touches and the amenities of home. This second-floor unit directly faces the ocean and has impressive vistas of the Crystal Coast. Appreciate a morning cup of coffee on either of the two balconies with beautiful vistas of the beach!

Upon your arrival at Dunescape Villas, you will find bags carts and grocery shopping carts as well as an elevator to make moving into your home away from home simple and fast. There is a screened-in entry way / mud room in the front and a separate laundry room that has a full-size washer and dryer. The condo itself was newly remodeled and freshly decorated. It features luxury plank floor throughout, entirely-equipped kitchen, separate wet bar with drink refrigerator, oceanfront screen porch off the living room, and a separate oceanfront balcony off of the master bedroom.

The master bedroom has a king size bed with an en suite bath with shower. The 2nd bedroom has a twin bunkbed and a full bed and is next to a full bath with tub; there is also a modest workspace/desk area in this bedroom if you are so inclined. The 3rd bedroom has a queen bed and its own private half bath. There are TVs in all three bedrooms.

The kitchen has all new appliances including French-door refrigerator, dishwasher, and over-the-range microwave and is equipped for all your cooking needs. There is a new Keurig K-Duo Coffee Maker, which accepts single serve K-cups and can also brew drip coffee with a 12-cup carafe.

The living room has a 50” Samsung Intelligent TV with constructed-in Alexa. There is a screened-in porch off of the living room with seating overlooking the dunes, boarded walkway to the beach and, of course, the ocean.

Throughout the complex, there are numerous picnic areas with tables and charcoal grilles; you will need to provide your own charcoal. There are four swimming pools and multiple private beach access points with gazebos overlooking the beach. To use the pools, a release form must be signed prior to check-in.

All of the buildings at Dunescape Villas have parking tons near the unit. If additional parking is needed, there is overflow parking across the street. 2 parking passes included for parking at unit.

Bed linens, bath towels, and bath mats are not supplied. All beds have pillows and bed spreads. There are linen service companies in the area should you need this type of service.

Spring break weeks, mid-May to mid-September: 7 nighttime minimum weekly units, Sunday to Sunday. Other times of the year, 3 nighttime minimum with flexible check-in/out dates.

Self check-in and self check-out.

This is a no smoking property. No smoking around the pool, elevators, second floor common areas.

Renters must park in the designated spaces in front of the building, not under the buildings.

We would savor if guests would remove shoes at the front door. Sand from the beach lingers on shoes. Please do not rinse out sandy swimsuits in the unit as this could cause damage to the plumbing for the entire building. There are shower-off areas with hoses by the pool and beach access points that can be used for hosing off sandy items.

Safety First!! Ocean: Please look at the warning signs/flags out at the beach. If you see red flags, that means NO SWIMMING.

Can you put a tent on the beach? Modest tents/canopies are allowed on our beaches, supplied they are properly secured (tents over 200 ft & canopies over 400 ft need a permit). However, we strongly recommend that these structures are not left up overnight. Objects left on the beach overnight may interfere with nesting sea turtles and their hatchlings, and they also have a tendency to go missing when they are left unattended. In order to keep your visit safe and enchanting, we suggest that any structures be removed from the beach at nighttime.

Property is equipped with an external security camera at the entrance to our condo facing the entryway door.

Damages to property will be the responsibility of the guest.

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summer is high season in Atlantic Beach. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Havelock vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Havelock area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Havelock visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking your prefect Havelock rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Shore Beats Work! Direct Oceanfront Atlantic Beach Paradise has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
