We provide the industry’s most rigorous assessments, split into two specialized disciplines to serve owners, managers, and investors.
76A Ocean Boulevard, a seven-bedroom oceanfront home under construction in Southern Shores, NC, is CVPC’s first from-the-ground-up case study. Rather than grading a home after years of wear, we’re documenting one from foundation to final walkthrough – tracking the material choices, moisture management, and construction decisions that decide whether a property still earns a Like-New Condition Grade 10, 15, or 20 years from now.
Curious what that grade actually means? Guest & Owner Explainer breaks down what CVPC inspects and why it matters. See it in practice with Sample Certificates by Grade, or compare it to ratings you already know via “How CVPC Grades Compare“.
Not every renovated home earns the same standard. Some are refreshed in patches — a new floor here, updated counters there — while the rest of the property quietly continues to show its age. Others are transformed completely, room by room, system by system, until nothing in the guest experience feels dated. The Council of Vacation Property Certification exists to tell these two outcomes apart. 653 Juniper Berry, a 20-year-old Corolla beach house now known as Sandy Paws, is a clear example of the second path — and a useful case study in what separates a partial update from a true like-new certification.
