Surf Watcher is a very versatile home. In there you can organize from your loud and busy family or friends' reunion to staying in a peaceful home, appreciating the beach and nature that Sunset Beach and its surroundings offer.

This home has comfortable rooms that sleep 14 people, long tables to eat inside, and a great round table on the deck, that personally, I appreciate having my breakfast during my stay, enjoying the sounds of the waves and the warm weather.

It has four (4) bedrooms each with its own bathroom.

Room 1: King bed, bathroom with shower

Room 2: Twin & Twin, bathroom with bathtub.

Room 3: Queen & 2 Bunk beds, bathroom with bathtub.

Room 4: Queen & Queen, bathroom with shower.

Living Area: Queen Sleeper and half bathroom.

At our top floor terrace, you will be able to see handsome sunrises and sunsets and late at nighttime, the stars. However, if you are a sunset lover, I recommend you walking to the boardwalk and seeing the sun drowning in the water. And because you are there, you can check out s few stores where you can buy souvenirs and ice cream, turning this walk into something to do after dinner.

Everyone asks us how close the beach from the home is, well is as closest as it can be, and this home has a cute rainbow path that guides you from the yard to the boardwalk, few stones away ????. Of course, if you don’t want to go through nature you can walk from the beach entrance walking from the front home.

As you can see in our amenities, we provide a long list of things to adore your time inside and outside the home, from kitchen supplies, ice cone machine, to beach chairs and beach toys. You are welcome to use them. Remember this is a family home so please take care of the stuff. We try to update our home supplies and furnishings very often to offer you always the best of the best.

For the pet lovers, unfortunately, we do not accept them, not because we don’t appreciate them, but to keep the home clean for the next guests. Also, we are smoke-complimentary.

At the end and before every staying, a professional cleaner comes to clean and disinfect the whole home and stocking the home for the next guests.
Even though we, the owners, are not in Sunset Beach, we are one call, text, or e-mail away for any assistant you need. If you need assistance, we have local people ready to help.

Rental home tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your vacation in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the bestrental:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Sunset Beach Large Oceanfront Rental Home has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for a great stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
