Welcome to "The Regency!" You will be living the "sweet life" on this modern, impeccably built and designed houseboat that offers all the amenities of home, including two living spaces, a gourmet kitchen, two beds, two baths, designer furnishings, and a deck to enjoy the sunsets on the Cape Fear River. Close to everything! Enjoy an onsite restaurant and entertainment pier, where concerts and festivals are held. Stroll the Riverwalk for scenic views, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. The space The first floor of the houseboat features an open concept living area. There's plenty of seating for your group in the cozy living area. The modern kitchen is fully stocked with all the amenities you'd need to enjoy a meal in during your stay, and there is plenty of seating at the dining table as well as the kitchen peninsula. There is one bedroom on the main floor with a queen size bed and a small balcony on the water, as well as a full bathroom. Upstairs, there's an additional living space with a cozy electric fireplace and sleeper sofa. The second bedroom has a king size bed, and there's a full bath upstairs as well. The best feature of the house boat is the spacious balcony off the upstairs living area. It's covered so can be used in a lot of weather, and there's a large dining table with some additional seating. It's the perfect spot to end your day! Guest access Guests will have access to the entire houseboat. There is a locked owner's closet for our storage, but otherwise you'll have access to everything that is inside. Other things to note Good to Know Before Your Stay: Check-In & Check-Out Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, and check-out is 10:00 AM. These times allow our cleaning team the opportunity to thoroughly prepare the home for each guest. During our busy summer season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), we are generally unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs from Friday through Sunday due to tight turnover schedules. During the week, we are happy to check availability within 24 hours of arrival or departure. When accommodations are possible, a fee of $25 per hour applies for early arrivals or late departures. A Note About Coastal Wildlife One of the joys of the coast is being surrounded by nature. Our area is home to a variety of local insects, including spiders, ants, and palmetto bugs, particularly during warmer months. The home receives regularly scheduled professional pest control treatments, but occasional sightings can still occur despite our best efforts. If you encounter any concerns during your stay, please let us know and we'll gladly arrange additional treatment if needed. Seeing native insects will not be grounds for a cancellation or refund. Television & Streaming While this property does not offer cable service, smart TVs or Rokus are available for you to access your favorite streaming platforms using your personal accounts. Please remember to log out before departure, or remotely through your streaming service if needed. Cleanliness Our housekeeping team takes great pride in preparing the home for every guest, however everyone is human. If anything doesn't meet your expectations upon arrival, please let us know as soon as possible so we can address it promptly and help ensure you have a comfortable stay. Respect for Our Neighborhood This home is located in a residential community, and we kindly ask guests to be mindful of our neighbors. Quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 7:00am each day. Parties and events are not permitted in accordance with Airbnb policies. Excessive noise or unauthorized gatherings may result in the reservation being terminated without refund. Travel Insurance We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your vacation investment from unexpected events. Reservations and cancellations are handled according to the cancellation policy selected at booking, and we are unable to modify reservation dates within 30 days of arrival. Location Information One of the best parts of this location is its convenient access to nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions. As a result, you may occasionally hear sounds associated with downtown living, including pedestrians, vehicle traffic, or aircraft overhead. Most guests find the area pleasantly active without being overly noisy.
