Unsurpassed bay view! Walk to the beach in less than 3 mins..

What makes this beach home stand out from the others?
This bay front residence features a rare ‘down the bay’ view unlike most other bay homes on the island which have vistas across the bay. Vistas are particularly striking at sunrise and moonrise when light from the sun or moon shimmers on the water. Scenic vistas available from the screened porch, sun deck or crow’s nest include the bay, Tubbs Inlet, the marsh and Intracoastal Waterway. From the crow's nest you can savor striking sunsets. Our east facing, bay view screened porch, which spans the full width of the home, receives early morning sun and is protected from stronger afternoon rays, making it an ideal place to appreciate your morning coffee or an evening drink after a day spent on the beach, site seeing, shopping or playing golf. Also viewable from the screened porch, is a enormous undeveloped tract of land just purchased by the Town Of Sunset Beach, to be preserved as a park. Access to the beach is simple, and you will have your toes in the sand/surf after a short 5 min. walk. Our home is thoroughly cleaned and cared for every week.

Fabulous 'end of the bay' location provides impressive opportunities for nature watching. Abundant wildlife can been observed all year long with deer, grackles, pelicans, terns, gulls, egrets, herons, merganzers and kingfishers to name a few. Watch baitfish, shrimp and mullet jump in the bay along with drum, trout and blue crabs. Bring your camera!

Sunset Beach NC was named one of 21 Finest Beaches in the World by National Geographic!

Our top Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Ebb Tide: Spectacular Bayfront View At Sunset Beach, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
