The Island/beach:

o Sunset is usually ultra peaceful
o Bring a good book, walking shoes and beach chairs
o The beach is very wide and is great for walking.
o The Ends of the beach are great places for treasure hunting, we find all sorts of animals and shells. Plan for a low or falling tide for the best results
o The Jetty is about 2 miles from the home on the far west end. It is a fun walk (that’s the only way to get there) and many times we find starfish, sand dollars. You can walk around the jetty and join the boaters picnicking and partying during pretty weather. Along the way watch for a mailbox in the dunes called “Kindred Spirit”. Plan to sit and appreciate the notes left by others or leave your thoughts on one of the notebooks you will find there.
o At the East end- very close to us, the treasure hunting is fun- It looks like you could walk to Ocean Isle but beware, the tide comes in fast and is very strong.
o Bikes are a good activity and can be rented on the island.
o The pier has a nominal cost but is fun to check out the fishermen and their catch.
o Across the bridge Oyster Bay golf course has multiple roadside ponds and lakes. Drive slowly or pull over to photograph some huge alligators basking in the sun.
o There is a modest grocery store on the island- limited selection, higher prices – appealing and tons of fun!
o Food Lion is just across the bridge with Lowe’s close also
o Ocean Isle is about 10 mins. away
o Calabash is about 10 mins. away
o North Myrtle about 20 mins. away
o Just relax and have fun----
o You need to go to the west end of the beach road to see the Sunset one evening it is breath taking!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Sunset Beach vacation property experience:

When to book a Carolina Beach rental & When to go:

• Book your Carolina Beach rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Carolina Beach area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by having your group choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. If You Really Want To Relax............. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Carolina Beach destination you crave, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
