Savor a few calming days, weeks, or more!

Our home is an 1,100 square foot residence located on the mainland in Shoreline Woods, a peaceful, calming neighborhood with great oak trees and a winding waterway that runs throughout the area. It is a great place to walk or bicycle ride, especially in the early mornings and evenings. We offer a comfortable two-bedroom, two-bath home, surrounded by trees and handsome landscaping. The home is 1.8 miles from Sunset Beach.

The home is completely supplied with everything needed to feel at home. To keep costs to you down however, we do not have linen or cleaning services, so we request you leave the property ready for the next guest. The kitchen is entirely outfitted, and we do provide bath towels, beach towels and bed linens, but you must launder all prior to your departure. You may opt to bring your own linens as this saves time upon departure. Guests are asked to clean the home so it is ready for the next guest. This may not be appealing for folks wanting to stay for 2-3 nights as cleaning does take time!

This is a family owned second home that we would savor sharing with you! (We are not affiliated with any rental agency other than Vacation Rental By Owner.) This gorgeous brick home features pretty landscaping and natural garden areas, and is located on a peaceful corner lot with partial vistas of the intracoastal waterway! This home is in a great neighborhood location with a short drive to the Beach! Our 2-bedroom home sleeps four (2 couples, or family of 4) comfortably. (Please, no more than 4 human guests!)
(We block out one day between guests, and are continuing with the cleaning requirements we began when Covid-19 started.)

Sunset Beach is a modest, ocean-side town on the southernmost tip of NC, partially on the mainland and part on the barrier island. Until a few years ago, this island was accessible only by a one-lane barge bridge, but a causeway has now replaced this resulting in easier access. The old barge bridge is now a museum beneath the causeway.

If you are seeking a peaceful, peaceful place to visit, Sunset Beach is the spot, having one of North Carolina’s most pretty and well-preserved beaches! The barrier island is both a turtle sanctuary for the endangered loggerhead turtles, and Bird Island is a protected part of the North Carolina Coastal Reserve, including nearly 1,500 acres of marsh, intertidal flats and, of course, the Atlantic Ocean beach! Visit the Kindred Spirit Mailbox while you are there!

From the 40th Street boardwalk, it is a elegant 2-mile walk to the Little River Inlet in South Carolina. Whether walking, running or cycling, beach-goers may see many species of shoreline plant and animal life and seashells. And if you like seclusion, it is largely deserted during the winter months.

Accommodations include -- in the master bedroom, a bay window with a double (full-sized) bed, ceiling fan and private bath; the second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, ceiling fan, and access to the main bath which contains a washing machine and dryer. The living area has a new couch, adore seat, covered leather recliner, a dining table with 4 chairs, ceiling fan and vistas of intracoastal canal from the front windows and open porch off the living room. There is a flat-screen intelligent TV in the living area. (For those with modest kids, we do have a glass dining table and a glass coffee table.) We have cable TV and Wi-Fi. The kitchen has a skylight, and a modest bay window over the sink. In the fall through spring (outside temperature permitting), you can relax on the enormous, screened-in porch, complete with couch, tables, chairs, light and ceiling fan. The porch has a vinyl window system, each window with 4 movable vinyl panels, accepting you to create your own indoor-outdoor ambiance! There is a single carport located away from the home that contains a grille. The garage has beach umbrellas, coolers, beach chairs, and a couple of body boards for use at the beach. There are also 2 bicycles, a 10-speed and an adult trike, but these are for use in the neighborhood only. There are bicycle units (Julies Units) for the beach on the island. You will need to provide your own helmets.

House-trained family pets are welcome, but we would like to know if you plan to bring your fur infant, as we have an additional pet addendum to be filled out. An additional, returnable pet fee will be charged ($350), which I will refund supplied there are no pet damages.

• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.

In addition to great local information, visitors guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. text the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.

• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
