A BAD DAY IN CHERRY GROVE IS BETTER THAN A GOOD DAY ALMOST EVERWHERE ELSE The space We promise a large, well maintained, clean, comfortable and affordable house. Centrally located in the heart of the Cherry Grove Beach community, it is just one block from the beach and town center. We promise to do all we can to make your stay enjoyable while not intruding on your privacy. The pool is 15 x 25 feet with painted concrete decking. We mainly accommodate chaperoned young people, extended families, church groups. A large group of Duke University Orchestra students have stayed with us. Students and professionals can work remotely with high speed internet. The heated pool and proximity to town center make this spacious house very popular among vacationers all year long. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Sturdy wooden furniture, a leather couch and love seats make TV in the living room very enjoyable. But when all is said and done, we need to emphasize the house was built a half century ago. In addition we serve very large groups and are fully booked during peak seasons. We do not promise hotel accommodations, amenities or services. We are available should you need us but respect your privacy. So if you expect luxury accommodations please look elsewhere. Guest access The house, yard, pool and parking areas are private and reserved for you exclusively. The door lock combination on the main entrance will be sent to you a week prior to arrival. Other things to note A Brief History Please do not expect luxury or hotel-like accommodations and service. The house was built in 1970 so it is not new. That said: We purchased Breezy in April 2017 from a group that catered almost exclusively to high school graduations and frat parties. Maintenance had been neglected for many years but the house had great potential, including very large rooms, great location - especially for us since we live directly behind Breezy. We also rent what we call the Booth House one house away and closer to the beach than Breezy. So we have a strong interest in improving the neighborhood. And that is what we have done since the Booth House was acquired in 2013 and Breezy in 2017. We have installed new air conditioning systems in both houses and made major improvements each year since they were acquired. In 2018 we renovated the pool, graveled the parking areas, paved the driveway and did a lot of other outside work. In 2019 we built the patio with a natural gas fire pit and grill. We also installed a natural gas water heater and on-demand water heater. Shower all you like the hot water will never run out. New flooring was laid down in 2020 and there has bed a lot of painting inside and out. Our "Bug Man" treats the premises monthly and as needed so bug problems are continuously monitored and dealt with. In 2020 we reroofed the house and installed flat LED lighting in all the bedrooms and bathrooms. Refencing the back yard and pool area were major upgrades in 2022. Almost forgot to mention the pool was completely refurbished about 4 years ago and is maintained year round with cleaning three times a week during peak months. During the peak season we rent the whole house to large groups of 12 or more. We cannot predict what kind of coffee, shampoo, tooth paste and other essentials you may prefer and do not provide them. However, all of our mattresses are encased for protection against spills and other hazards. We supply pillows, sheets and pillow cases for each bed but beds are not made up except upon request and with an extra charge ($20 per bed). We provide bath towels, hand towels, toilet paper and hand soap in each bathroom. The kitchen is supplied with dish washing liquid, dish washer tablets, paper towels, hand soap and other kitchen essentials. Groups that stay longer than a day or two need to shop for additional supplies. We should also note that we do not have a disposal in the kitchen nor are our refrigerators equipped with ice makers. Sand from the beach clog disposals requiring constant replacement. Similarly, ice makers are inadequate for the clientele we generally serve. Bag ice is available from Boulineau’s and other places at a nominal cost. The house, yard, pool and parking areas are private property reserved exclusively for our guests. There is parking space for 7 vehicles. Responsible young adults will always be welcome as well as large family, church, orchestra and similar groups that enjoy vacationing together. We welcome suggestions on how we may improve the property and your experiences while vacationing in this family-friendly beach community. If you believe in 'PRESERVATION' you will love what we are doing.
