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 appreciate 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 savor 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 enormous undeveloped tract of land just purchased by the Town Of Sunset Beach, to be preserved as a park. Access to the beach is simple, 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!

How to get the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the 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 or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Ebb Tide: Spectacular Bayfront View At Sunset Beach, NC! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC attraction you long to visit, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
