Unsurpassed bay view! Walk to the beach in less than 3 mins..

What makes this beach home stand out from the others?
This bay front residence features a rare ‘down the bay’ view unlike most other bay homes on the island which have vistas across the bay. Vistas are particularly striking at sunrise and moonrise when light from the sun or moon shimmers on the water. Scenic vistas available from the screened porch, sun deck or crow’s nest include the bay, Tubbs Inlet, the marsh and Intracoastal Waterway. From the crow's nest you can savor amazing sunsets. Our east facing, bay view screened porch, which spans the full width of the home, receives early morning sun and is protected from stronger afternoon rays, making it an ideal place to appreciate your morning coffee or an evening drink after a day spent on the beach, site seeing, shopping or playing golf. Also viewable from the screened porch, is a sizable undeveloped tract of land just purchased by the Town Of Sunset Beach, to be preserved as a park. Access to the beach is painless, and you will have your toes in the sand/surf after a short 5 min. walk. Our home is thoroughly cleaned and cared for every week.

Fabulous 'end of the bay' location provides superb opportunities for nature watching. Abundant wildlife can been observed all year long with deer, grackles, pelicans, terns, gulls, egrets, herons, merganzers and kingfishers to name a few. Watch baitfish, shrimp and mullet jump in the bay along with drum, trout and blue crabs. Bring your camera!

Sunset Beach NC was named one of 21 Finest Beaches in the World by National Geographic!

Strategies to get the best Carolina Beach rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Carolina Beach area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Carolina Beach vacation home:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Ebb Tide: Spectacular Bayfront View At Sunset Beach, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a certain Carolina Beach destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. 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?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
