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, peaceful 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 striking 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 supplied, 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 pretty brick home features gorgeous 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, relaxing place to visit, Sunset Beach is the spot, having one of North Carolina’s most handsome 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 alluring 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 sizable, 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.

Tricks and tips to get the very best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to visit Sunset Beach & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Sunset Beach. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family commit to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Cozy, Quiet, 1.8 Miles From Sunset Beach! WiFi, Cable, Pets OK! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Wilmington, NC beach you crave, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
