Beach-Topia Welcome Binder: Tab B Page 3 of 14 AS OF: 03-27-2021 Introduction
Welcome to Beach-Topia! We hope you have a fun, relaxing, and memorable experience! It’s our intent to make this beach house worth coming back to and we appreciate any feedback!
Our Story: We live in Washington, DC, and wanted to expand to the Outer Banks. We have often thought of investing in the Miami area, but decided to look around in the Eastern shoreline.
So instead of staying in DC for the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, we packed our bags and headed to the OBX (the Outer Banks). Since it was off-season, we rented a beach house, contacted a realtor, and looked at twenty properties. We narrowed our selection to Beach-Topia.
We immediately made an offer and after some back-and-forth, the seller accepted. After all of the inspections and due diligence, there are no termites, no issue with the survey, but needs work. As in any real estate purchase, the inspections resulted in immediate, short-term, and long-term needs. It was a scramble to solicit quotes, schedule repairs, contend with COVID-19, and devise a plan, all before peak season for beach houses.
What’s New: From the time we returned home, after ratifying the contract for purchasing Beach- Topia, we immediately started preparations. We already knew what items the house desperately needed, nice to haves, and before you knew it, a 16’ rental truck was needed.
Below is sampling of what’s new for 2021:
• Samsung Smart TVs in each Bedroom and Living Room o This enables guests to use various streaming apps to access their preferred networks, like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Pandora. o The house internet, Wi-Fi, telephone, and basic cable are provided by Spectrum. Guests should use the “Spectrum App” on their TVs to access the cable service. • Blu Ray DVD Players o One is installed in the Living Room on the top floor and the other in the Nags Head/Media Bedroom on the middle floor. o A collection of DVDs can be found in the left bookcase cabinet in the Living Room for you to enjoy during your stay. • Kitchen and Laundry Appliances o All kitchen appliances have been replaced with stainless steel appliances. ▪ The new refrigerator has 2 ice makers! o The second white Whirlpool refrigerator, which also has an ice maker, will be relocated in the Fall. • Dining Table Set o Extended dining table. o The dining set has 8 chairs (extra white chairs are staged in bedrooms if needed). • Outdoor Furniture o Several white Adirondack chairs, end tables, rope swing, and more! • Pillows and Bedding o New pillows throughout; all enclosed in protective covers. o All top mattresses have protective covers and all beds have new mattress pads.
Beach-Topia Welcome Binder: Tab B Page 4 of 14 AS OF: 03-27-2021 o Please see Twiddy’s messaging about COVID-19 on their website and their recommendation to stow comforters, bedspreads, and blankets. • Kitchenwares o New small appliances, 2 different coffee pots (e.g., drip and pods), new cookware, utensils, pots/pans, silverware, glassware, etc. • Sleeper Sofa o The previous full-size Futon in the Nags Head Media/Bedroom was broken and has been replaced with a queen-size sleeper sofa (which also has a mattress cover). • Decora Light Switches and Receptacles o Replaced throughout the house; all receptacles are tamper-resistant for children. o The top floor has several dimmer switches. o The circuit breaker for each is written on the backside of the plate. o Several GFCI and USB receptacles throughout. • Games o We added some outdoor game options (e.g., horseshoe, cornhole, yard dice, bocce ball, and a basketball). o See “Tab J: Games and Toys”, for a full list and location. • Propane Gas o Converted the hot water heaters to a tankless on-demand system. • LED Lighting o LED lights have been installed throughout, some with dimmers. o New decks lights installed on the middle and top decks. • HVAC Air Vents and Grills o Replaced throughout the house.
What’s Ahead: Time was running out from purchasing Beach-Topia, prepping it for the upcoming season, obtaining estimates, and realistically doing repairs and enhancements while not disrupting any guest bookings. We closed on March 1st and arranged to stay at the house for the entire month in order to conduct repairs/enhancements, deep clean, and prepare for the 2021 season. Thanks to family and friends who helped us out! We hope you enjoy the improvements and come back for more!
Below is a list of plans to reinvigorate Beach-Topia (fingers crossed); all of which are subject to change:
• New Decking o Including a makeover of the screened porch and access to all levels. • Game Room o Close-in the right carport to build a Game Room to include some table games, a wet bar (such as the other Whirlpool refrigerator), flat screen TV, sofa, and access to the pool. o Outdoor Ping Pong Table and Dartboard (to be located in the left carport). • Expanded and Improved Pool Deck o Address concrete cracks, reconfigure outdoor shower and sink, add a pergola, add a tiki bar, and replace the fence. • Windows and Doors o Practically all of the windows and doors (including the glass sliding doors) will be replaced.
Beach-Topia Welcome Binder: Tab B Page 5 of 14 AS OF: 03-27-2021 • Flooring o All carpeting will be replaced with new flooring and the hardwood flooring on the top floor will be refinished. • Fireplace and Grill o Convert the wood fireplace to a gas fireplace. o Add an outdoor gas BBQ grill (to connect to the new propane tank). • Painting o Interior and exterior painting.
Some efforts above will help save water, energy, and natural resources.
After your stay, Twiddy will send you a survey. We may also send you a survey of our own! Feel free to add a “I would love to see….” or “I really liked the….” We will seriously consider your suggestions.

In the event that any term of this Agreement varies from any term set forth in the Agent’s printed materials, web site, or third party web site (including, but not limited to, the rental amount), the term specified in this Agreement shall govern absent written confirmation of a change. The information set forth above is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
3. IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES: (a) Agent hereby discloses to You that Agent is acting for and represents the Owner; (b) If the Premises has a private well, it is so noted above. Homes with private wells occasionally experience low pressure, salty, distasteful and/or discolored water. There may be an unpleasant odor of sulfur. Some guests choose to use bottled water for drinking purposes even though the water is potable. 4WD areas may have more prevalent water problems, even in homes with water filter systems; (c) Private Pools/Heated Pools/Community Pools – Pool privileges are available only for those properties designated as such. Fees and availability for heated pools vary; (d) Occasionally, some pools in Dare and Currituck Counties may experience a mild ground current. Generally, this is not caused by a pool defect or the household electrical system, but appears as a result of the earth’s own natural electrical current. Certain properties may be affected more than others and the current tends to be intermittent in nature. Please be advised, however, that this may affect the operation of pacemakers and other similar devices; (e) Due to the possibility of accident or injury, Owner prohibits children from using hot tubs, saunas, and/or operating elevators. Also, the chemicals used to keep hot tubs sanitary may cause fading in some swimsuits and some individuals may experience mild skin rashes. For your safety, chemical dispensers shall not be removed at any time; (f) Agent has no control over individual subdivision rules and regulations. Each subdivision is governed by a unique set of policies and guidelines with regards to such items as early check-in, usage of subdivision amenities, on-street parking, storage of recreational vehicles, utility trailers, etc. For more information regarding these issues you should contact your home's subdivision directly for further information. Agent is not liable for fees; (g) Agent has limited parking capacity to accommodate Your non 4WD vehicle(s). Weekly or Daily parking must be requested in writing prior to your arrival date for a nominal fee and may be subject to change.; (h) Agent is not responsible for any personal items left on the Premises including prior to occupancy and/or after check-out; and (i) the Premises is not guaranteed to be hypoallergenic.
