Is there anything better than sand between your toes and a “Sunset Cottage” view? This gorgeous 1940’s bungalow features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, spectacular sunset vistas, a convenient location, and covered dock complete with a private sound side beach. A lovingly maintained family home with everything you need to appreciate the sun and sand. Wake up each morning with broad vistas of the crystal-clear waters of the iconic Banks Channel that is teeming with birds and sea life. Don’t miss the exceptional vistas and sunsets!

As you enter the bungalow you are welcomed by a sunroom that showcases marvelous vistas of Banks Channel. Snuggle up on the couch and spend hours reading in this elegant sun-filled room, grab a pair of binoculars and watch the birds, boaters and sea life, or catch a dazzling sunset. A close by living room offers additional space for families to reconnect and relax in the evenings while catching up on shows. The TVs offer cable and Roku services for your viewing enjoyment.

To the right of the living room, you will find the first full bathroom and two guest bedrooms. The first guest room is furnished with two twin beds and is a generously sized room. Ideal for kids or singles, this room makes phenomenal accommodation for travelers of all ages. Across the hallway is a guest bedroom that is furnished with a plush king bed. The king guest room also features a Roku enabled T.V..

The kitchen is located on the other side of the living room and is well equipped for preparing meals. Stocked with everything you need to make your family favorite meals, the kitchen offers an attached additional mud room that includes a full-size washer and dryer, as well as access to the rear staircase. A set of French doors past the dining nook guide you to the primary bedroom. Furnished with a queen bed, this suite includes a private bathroom.

Just across the street guests can savor the soft breezes and striking vistas from the shared dock. Although the boat slips are not included with the rental, families will still enjoy calming in the shade, taking a dip in the cool waters, or heading up to the sun deck to soak up the rays. Kids will enjoy playing in the gentle sound waters and their own private beach that emerges at low tide. Take a short walk and you will be at public beach access #36. Positioned just a half-block away from the Atlantic Ocean on one side and overlooking Banks Channel on the other, guests will find everything they need within walking distance. Appreciate a amazing sunset dinner from the Crystal Pier at the famed Oceanic Restaurant or drop by SunDays Coffee Shop for an early morning cup of joe.

Tricks and tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

  • Summer months are the most expensive season in Wrightsville Beach. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
  • Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
  • Property managers often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
  • Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

  • Select vacation week and maximum budget.
  • Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sunset Cottage: Stunning views and dock access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
  • Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
  • Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
  • Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

Have a great stay:

  • Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
  • Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
  • Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
  • At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
  • Leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches. See for yourself by scanning the QR code and call Victory Beach Vacations at 910.458.0868 to book your Cape Fear getaway. Start making your memories today! —Grace Silipigni
