Charming Vintage Beach Cottage on East Main Street – Your Ideal Coastal Getaway!

Welcome to our comfortable vintage beach bungalow, located on East Main Street just steps away from the sandy shores of Sunset Beach. Whether you prefer a leisurely walk (just 3 mins.), a brisk run (less than 2 mins.), or a casual walk, you'll find yourself with your toes in the sand in no time.

Our bungalow features an inviting open floor plan, where the kitchen seamlessly flows into the living area, making it the ideal gathering spot for your family and friends before and after your beach adventures. You can relax on the roomy sectional or gather around the farmhouse table for meals and games. With four bedrooms, including two master suites, and two additional bedrooms sharing a third bath, our home is ideal for two young families or for bringing along grandparents. Sleeping arrangements include three queen beds and a bunk room with a twin over full bunk bed. LINENS ARE NOT PROVIDED, but we will be happy to supply a list of linen units in the area. Each bedroom is equipped with its own TV for added convenience.

The bungalow features enchanting coastal colors and décor throughout, creating a cheerful and casual ambiance. All of our bathrooms have been completely refreshed with modern vanities and striking tile work.

Appreciate the cavernous front porch that spans the entire length of the home, offering a ideal spot to listen to the calming waves or people watch year-round. The back porch provides a enchanting view of the canal, adding to the appeal of our coastal getaway. And yes, we're pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry family members along for the fun!

For those looking to discover the area, our bungalow is conveniently located on Main and 6th, just a short walk from stores and the delicious Sunset Slush in the heart of the island. To the east, you can try your hand at surf fishing while gazing out at Ocean Isle Beach. Venture west beyond 40th Street, and you'll find yourself on the pristine and undeveloped Bird Island Preserve, home to the beloved Kindred Spirit mailbox, cherished by generations of Sunset Beach residents and visitors.

If you're in the mood for more adventure, the mainland offers an abundance of golf courses, eateries, grocery stores, and opportunities for kayak tours and units. You can even experience a thrilling Zipline Swamp Tour! Head down to Calabash for riverfront dining, additional stores, or venture further to Little River and beyond.

Our bungalow is the ideal coastal escape, offering a blend of vintage charm, modern amenities, and a amazing location to create lasting memories with your adored ones.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Sunset Beach rental experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Sunset Beach. Booking in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental:

• First, have your group agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Second Row, Canal View, Pet Friendly: Your Perfect Beach Getaway! \n\n\n\n has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC destination you are enamored with, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
