About this Property

  • Sleeps 8
  • 4 Bedrooms
  • 5 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home
  • Approximately 1800 square feet

SUMMER 2025 (June, July, August) - WEEKLY units ONLY, SATURDAY to SATURDAY, NO exceptions. If your desired dates are not open on the calendar, they are already reserved by another guest. We will not negotiate switching vacation dates with another confirmed rental.

HOME DETAILS: *New for 2025* Rental INCLUDES LINENS - bed sheets, bath towels (for up to 8 guests), bathmats, and kitchen towels supplied. All beds also have blankets, quilts, and pillows.

2025 House updates: New beds and box springs for the King and Queen (2) bedrooms. New carpet throughout. Screened porch facelift complete. Two new and very efficient HVAC units with intelligent thermostats installed.

We try to keep our photos current. Just know there may be slight differences between the Vacation Rental By Owner photos and the actual home. The home is ALWAYS better than the photos!

RENTAL PROCESS: You rent directly from the Owners. (Many Vacation Rental By Owner homes are managed by commercial property managers.)

PAYMENT PROCESS: The ONLY payment method is credit card via Vacation Rental By Owner's secure payment process. Owners do not receive or store your credit card information. Vacation Rental By Owner holds ALL funds from Owners until your vacation start date. Only the rental fee and cleaning/internet/linen costs are distributed to owners. Vacation Rental By Owner collects/pays all applicable taxes. Vacation Rental By Owner also assesses a guest services fee and a payment processing fee. These Vacation Rental By Owner costs are not passed to the Owners, nor are they negotiable.

HOW TO BOOK: To secure a vacation reservation, submit a Vacation Rental By Owner online inquiry. From such, Owners will confirm pricing and share the rental agreement. Owners WILL NOT proactively send Guest a payment request. Guest must initiate booking via Vacation Rental By Owner. This is to protect both events from potential fraud. No vacation is guaranteed until BOTH the deposit payment AND the signed rental agreement are received – prices and availability are subject to change until your paperwork is processed. If your credit card is declined, you have a short window of time with Vacation Rental By Owner to make payment, otherwise the vacation period becomes open for others to book. Rental agreement can be scanned/emailed or sent via snail mail directly to Owners (contact details on the agreement). Your rental rate is determined at time of booking - rates cannot be adjusted post-booking. Occasional booking specials apply only to reservations made during the designated time period. Multi-week summer bookings are welcome; however, there is no discount to the rental rate.

BOATING: If you bring a boat or jet ski(s), there is a boat ramp on the mainland side of the Sunset Beach bridge. Dredging (2024) has improved water access. We have a 17-foot skiff that clears, but bigger watercraft may be challenged. There are no rental refunds in the event your boat does not clear properly or if there is unforeseen damage to the dock preventing its use.

GENERAL INFO: Dreaming of a peaceful hideaway to the North Carolina coast? We have vacationed at Sunset Beach since early 1990s. We purchased this home in 2008 (and owned a separate beach bungalow on the island for many years before). We are always doing something to keep the property refreshed and fresh. This is our home away from home and we want you to appreciate Sunset Beach just like our family. The property is decent sized for a modest family hideaway (with grandparents, cousins, or friends).

The home has an open floor plan on the main level and is charmingly furnished. The kitchen is well-equipped. There are many games and activities. Under the home you will find additional space to relax. Take the well-adored canoe or one of the three kayaks down the canal to the Intracoastal waterway. The screened porch provides a great venue for an afternoon board game or dining al fresco. Savor ocean, canal, and Intracoastal vistas from the decks and many windows. Sun decks on the main and upper levels provide alternative spots to the beach. We expanded the original front deck and have solid wood Adirondack chairs on all three levels. Public beach access is ~300 feet from the home. Guests may savor our astounding 'beach buggy' for simple transport of beach essentials. A modest assortment of beach chairs also available for Guest use.

We welcome units from families and responsible adults over the age of 25 (the person who signs the rental agreement must be present on the property throughout the rental period). The home sleeps a max. of 8 people (adults and any kids traveling with you). Review the floorplan carefully to ensure the bedroom/linens arrangements work for your group.

Absolutely NO FAMILY PETS and NO smoking in this home or anywhere on the property. Our home backs up to water and has many decks and interior open railings. Keep this in mind if you are visiting with younger kids.

ABOUT SUNSET BEACH: Sunset Beach is the Southern-most barrier island on the North Carolina coast. It is a short drive to Calabash (Seafood Capital of the South) and ~20-min. drive to North Myrtle Beach. Sunset Beach is one of North Carolina’s most peaceful beaches with 200+ feet of natural dunes before the first row of homes. The ambiance is cozy and family-aligned, even during peak season. One of the Nation’s most handsome wildlife preserves – Bird Island – is a nice walk down beach (~2.5 miles from the home). Visit the Kindred Spirit mailbox – an inspiration for Nicholas Sparks's novel "Every Breath." Observe deer, wild goats, sea turtles, and other sea life as well as enjoy miles of undeveloped dunes and marsh areas.

If you are a golfer, you don't have to travel far to enjoy dozens of courses. We are close to many local conference centers (Sea Trail is one), making our home a nice alternative to hotel lodging.

How to book the best Sunset Beach vacation home experience:

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

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the best rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
  • Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
  • Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
  • Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Carolina Beach area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Carolina Beach area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

  • Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
  • Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Island Home-On Canal-Near Beach-July and August still available!! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is best for your family.
  • If there's a specific Carolina Beach attraction you simply love, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
  • Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
  • Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Tips for your stay:

  • We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
  • Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
  • Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did you have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.

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.
