A quintessential coastal hideaway awaits at this three-bedroom home in Sunset Beach, where you'll be just around the corner from the beach itself, the handsome Atlantic Ocean, and the town fishing pier.

With the beach only a quarter-mile down the road, this cheerful home is a place to spend your days swimming, body boarding, fishing, and collecting seashells on the sand. A number of eateries, cafes, stores, and amenities are just across the Intracoastal Waterway less than a mile north.

Stroll home from the beach in the afternoon to be greeted by sunny yellow shutters, a shaded patio beneath the home, and a gorgeous back deck where you can soak up a bit more sun, play cards, or gather for an alfresco meal in the shade of the umbrella. The adjacent screened porch is a ideal spot for morning coffee, afternoon crossword puzzles, and beverages at sunset.

Inside, find a centrally air-conditioned living space with lofty ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and the colors of the beach running throughout. This is a natural gathering space whether you're cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, sharing appetizers at the breakfast bar and high-top dining table, or watching after-dinner movies on Netflix, cable, or the DVD player in the living room. Additional features include three colorful bedrooms and complimentary WiFi throughout the home.

How to book the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the best value:

Summer months are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. 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 months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the best Carolina Beach rental home:

Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Dog-friendly home 1 block from the beach with great deck, patio & central AC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your trip.
If there's a certain Carolina Beach destination you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
If your family is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas during check in. text the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Did your group have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable 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.
