The space
Remodeled Sept 2020 - All of our creativity and appreciate went into making The Aether a unique and opulent 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 extravagant and fun hideaway! Fresh steamed Luxury Linens & Bathrobes await you. Savor 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.
