View of the Ocean

Hey there! So, you're eyeing a spot on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina – great call! It's an exciting journey, but with so many options, it can be a bit of a puzzle. Don't stress, though – 34 North Vacations is on the case. Here's your laid-back checklist before diving into the vacation home game:

1. Get Sandy Close – No rocket science here, but being close to the ocean is like striking gold. Think prime spots like Emerald Isle or Atlantic Beach – the closer, the merrier!

2. Size It Up, Tar Heel Style – Down in our neck of the woods, we're all about options. Whether it's cozy one-bed havens, spacious five-plus bedroom retreats, or that perfect middle ground – a sweet spot that captures the essence of coastal living, offering the best of both worlds! 🏠🌊

3. Splash Zone – Pool & Tub Vibes – Trust us, homes with a pool and hot tub are like catnip for vacationers. If your spot doesn't have them, splash some cash – best upgrade ever!

4. Neighborly Vibes – Finding that Coastal Sweet Spot – Let's talk neighbors. While having some space is cool, finding that sweet coastal spot where you're not too close for comfort but not lost at sea either is the real deal. Aim for that Goldilocks zone – not too crowded, not too isolated, just right for that perfect beach getaway! 🏖️

5. Room to Roam Inside – Big groups want room to breathe. Tear down some walls, create that open vibe. Your future renters and your own fam will love you for it.

6. Fancy Finishes – Photo-Worthy – Snap-worthy finishes matter. If your place needs a style boost, do it. Upgrades pay off in those booking numbers!

7. Show Me the Money – Yearly Returns – What's your game plan? Banking on appreciation or aiming for a steady income stream? Location matters – we'll spill the beans on potential income.

8. Budget Chit-Chat – Before you take the plunge, chat about monthly expenses. Utilities, furniture, maintenance – tally up the costs so you know what you're getting into.

9. Smart Home, Happy Host – Tech it up! Smart homes rule, and we're here to guide you to the coolest gadgets for that extra "wow" factor.

10. Personal Paradise – Set the Rules – Planning on some family time at your new digs? Figure out the balance between personal chill time and rental moolah. It's all about finding that sweet spot!
