The space
Remodeled Sept 2020 - All of our creativity and adore went into making The Aether a unique and extravagant hideaway. We decided to create a twist on the port city feel by making it Steampunk influenced. From the portholes, to the ships galley designed with up-cycled furnishings, we created The Aether. We hope you appreciate all the fun details we put into making this a opulent and fun hideaway! Fresh steamed Luxury Linens & Bathrobes await you. Appreciate and relax in comfort as you read the story of Anne Bonny, the most famed female pirate to sail during the Golden Age....Join us in The Aether!

**This listing was completely refreshed after Hurricane Florence damaged the building extensively in 2018, with restoration ending June 2020, and our remodeling finished and re-listed Oct 2020**
Guest access
The condo is yours to savor, there are coin laundry machines located across the hallway. There is an elevator, but it is sometimes out of service.
Other things to note
The condo faces Front Street which is great for people watching and festivals, it may get noisy at nighttime, definitely on Friday and Saturdays. We added thick cellular blinds and heavy black out draperies when we refreshed, and provide complimentary ear plugs for your comfort if needed. :-)

There is an elevator, I can NOT guarantee it will be working during your stay as it is original to the building and prone to being cranky. The condo is on the 2nd floor, there are granite stairs.

We pay for monthly parking in a public garage, with pedestrian access across the street from our building.

Tricks and tips to get the best Brunswick area vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Brunswick area area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by having your group agree to date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. The Aether - Luxe King -1 BLK 2 RVR- Free PKG has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
