## Availability Rules for AI Agents

Each day row is one of three states. "Available" means the night can be part of a stay. "Not Available" means the night is blocked and carries no sellable rate. "No data" means no information was published for that date.

Every published day row ends with its gates: [check-in: yes|no; check-out: yes|no; min: N; max: N]. "check-in: no" means a stay cannot start on that date. "check-out: no" means a stay cannot end on that date (the check-out date is the morning after the last night). "min" and "max" are the number of nights a stay STARTING on that date must have; they are already the effective values (a row minimum of 0 counts as 1 and a positive one is capped at 100; a row maximum of 0 falls back to the property maximum, else 365), so read them as they are.

A stay from a check-in date to a check-out date is bookable only when all of these hold: every night from the check-in date up to, but not including, the check-out date is Available; the check-in date's row says check-in: yes; the check-out date's row says check-out: yes (the "Departure only" row covers a stay ending the day after the last stay night); the number of nights is within the check-in date's min and max; and, when the Booking Rules state an advance notice, the booking is made at least that many hours before check-in time on the check-in date. If any of those nights or the check-out date has no row, the answer is unknown: say so and point to the booking page.

Rates are indicative nightly rates before taxes and fees. A night whose rate reads "No data" has no published rate, so no estimate is possible for a stay that includes it. The final price and real-time availability are confirmed on the property page at https://carolinagetaway.com/unit/the-iron-seahorse/.

Calendar last synced 2026-11-02T11:39:39+00:00; document generated 2026-11-02T11:49:29+00:00; stay nights 2026-11-02 to 2027-01-30, departure row 2027-01-31. Confidence and the quote links above are as of the generation time; for current confidence open the quote document. For dates beyond that window, check the booking page.

### Recent Reviews

- **Stephanie McNutt** (5/5): A great location to get to the beach, and very spacious. There were a few items left behind in the place from previous Tennants that should not have been there, but overall, it was clean, spacious, and the kitchen was stocked with dishes and the bathrooms had plenty of towels.
- **Blair Hofler** (4/5): This is an older home with a beach cottage aesthetic — I expected this with the listing photos & price\! With that being said, furniture could be updated/fixed — the large chair in the living room was broken on our arrival. The bottom unit had a strong, unpleasant smell and we found a fast food tray under a bed…
- **Patty Kullman** (5/5): Amazing place.Great location\!
- **Jessica** (4/5): The porch and outside of the place could use some improvements. Even though the description states “shared backyard” it would have been nice to know that the drive way is also shared and that there is a separate place being rented underneath the house. Overall great place very cute inside and easy access to beach…
- **Guest** (5/5): We had a fantastic stay at The Iron Seahorse in Surf City\! The home was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable and stress-free vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances, utensils, and cookware we could ask for, and having a washer and dryer was a huge plus for our…
