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 amazing 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 huge 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 superb 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!

Rental home booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental home value:

• To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the best vacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ebb Tide: Spectacular Bayfront View At Sunset Beach, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
