Welcome to Pirate's Hideaway! Located in handsome Pine Knoll Shores, Beachwalk is right across the street from the Aquarium and the Roosevelt Natural area. Pirate's Hideaway is located on the first floor (no stairs to climb) making it a breeze to unload and easier to access for our more seasoned guests. As you enter, you will be drawn to the impressive vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. The outdoor space spans the entire width of the unit, accepting access from the living room as well as a private entrance to the master bedroom. You will appreciate oceanfront vistas and hear the waves crashing on the shore from your cavernous private deck or from the beach inspired open-concept living room and kitchen. From the deck take a very short walk (30 paces Matey!) along a wooden walkway to the beach. The pool is located next to the unit so you can watch your kids play and call them in for dinner without ever leaving your back deck.

After you gather for beverages at the gazebo watching the sunset, relax in the oceanfront king master suite complete with it's own adjoining bathroom (refreshed 2022) or in one of the other two bedrooms both with their own bathrooms (both freshly tiled and one with a new tub 2021). The condo also features a sleeper couch ensuring everybody has sufficient space to spread out and accommodates 8 people comfortably.

The unit is entirely outfitted to ensure your comfort and reduce your need to over pack. Items include traditional coffee maker, Keurig, blender, 4 slice toaster, cookware, etc. There is also a bar area with drink refrigerator, a full size washer and dryer and deck furnishings. Linens are supplied with your rental (sheets and towels) as well as a pack-n-play, booster seat, games and puzzles. We also have a few beach chairs, umbrella, and floats for your convenience.

Rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Crystal Coast area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best rental home in the Crystal Coast area:

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Beautiful First Floor Oceanfront Condo Steps to Beach and Pool has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If not, contact the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what is right for your group.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
