Panacea is a mid-island, pet and family friendly bungalow on the peaceful end of Sunset Beach. A short three min. walk gets you to the beach, over the elevated boardwalk that accepts vistas into the broad dunes that serve as home to deer, rabbits and sea turtle nests. Throw down your beach towel and appreciate one of the widest beaches on the east coast at low tide with great puddles to lounge, splash or build sand castles. Turn to the right towards Bird Island to find the fabled Kindred Spirit mailbox and leave your own message and continue on to discover the rock jetty that lines the inland waterway. Or turn to the left and you're headed toward the pier, great for people watching and getting an old fashioned orange sherbet push-up treat.
Panacea has been refreshed with modern but not too fussy beach décor throughout, with open floor plan and cavernous bedrooms creating a comfortable and welcoming ambiance. Bedroom One has a king bed, two nighttime stands, dresser, TV and bench. Bedroom Two has a queen bed flanked by nightstands, dresser and mirror, bench and wing chair. Bedroom Three has queen bed, dresser, and side chair. Bedroom Four is the twin bedroom with a chest of drawers also serving as a nighttime stand, TV and full length mirror. The living area has a full sized couch with recliners on the ends, recliner appreciate seat and a single reclining chair (sounds like a lot of calming going on!). End tables and coffee table provide a convenient place for your favorite snack or drink. The dining table seats 6 but can be expanded with additional leaf stored in twin bedroom closet, additional seating with four stools at the bar. The kitchen has all the expected appliances--refrigerator, oven range, dishwasher, microwave. Mr Coffee Maker and Keurig, electric can opener, 4 slot toaster/bagel, toaster oven all available. The laundry area homes the washer, dryer, expandable drying rack, broom, dust pan (all you need since housekeeping is included!) with board games and puzzles on the shelf. The back deck sports appreciate seat, chairs and a picnic table. The huge front porch with plenty of seating (2 loveseats, 4 chairs, 2 coffee tables and two chair high bistro table set for morning coffee) is the ideal place to gather and savor those that matter most.
Under the home provides shaded parking but if you back your cars out a little sidewalk chalk can create a space for budding artists or a game of hop-scotch. The outside shower has a bench, hooks for towels and a hand-held shower head with great water pressure. A bin MAY have body boards, rafts, beach chairs and a variety of sand toys and a fat tired aluminum wagon with fishing pole holders will make it painless to cart whatever you want to the beach, just be sure to go down to the 40th street access (no steps). And after a day on the beach if you want to prepare out, a 3 burner propane gas grille is at the ready for burgers, steak or whatever you caught fishing.

This Panacea is a definite cure for those needing some R&R!

Tips for getting the perfect Sunset Beach rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Pet Friendly Cottage On Sunset Beach. Spacious, Comfortable And Ideally Located! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. message the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
