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 drinks 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.

Our top Cape Fear area rental booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Sunset Beach rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Cape Fear area area. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking your prefect Cape Fear area rental:

• Start by having your group select the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Dog-friendly home 1 block from the beach with great deck, patio & central AC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a great stay:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
