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 charming 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 appreciate sharing with you! (We are not affiliated with any rental agency other than Vacation Rental By Owner.) This handsome 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 striking 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 handsome 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 huge, 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 included there are no pet damages.

Rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Sunset Beach. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Southport area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfectrental:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Cozy, Quiet, 1.8 Miles From Sunset Beach! WiFi, Cable, Pets OK! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or may be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Southport beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
