AVAILABILITY - Summer/August 10-17 available (as of 4/25/2024) - full week only.

HOME DETAILS: Updates never end! Spring 2024 - Intelligent TV now above the mantle in main room, new and cavernous refrigerator, replaced main room furnishings, lights, tables, and area rug. Screened porch facelift in progress and scheduled to be done by summer units. AND the canal has been dredged! 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.)

SUMMER (June, July, August) - WEEKLY units ONLY, Saturday to Saturday, NO exceptions. We are not a hotel. Please allow AT LEAST a 5-day advance notice to complete paperwork, collect payment, and to prepare the home for your stay.

PAYMENT PROCESS: The ONLY payment method is credit card via Vacation Rental By Owner's secure payment process. We do not receive or store your credit card information. Vacation Rental By Owner holds ALL funds from the owners until your vacation actually begins. Only the rental fee and cleaning/internet costs are distributed to the owners. Vacation Rental By Owner collects/pays taxes and assesses an administration fee.

AVAILABLE DATES: If your desired dates are not open on the Vacation Rental By Owner calendar, they are already reserved by another guest. We will not negotiate switching vacation dates with another confirmed rental.

HOW TO BOOK: To secure a vacation reservation, submit a Vacation Rental By Owner online inquiry. From such, we will confirm pricing and share the rental agreement. We WILL NOT send you a payment request. Guests must initiate booking via Vacation Rental By Owner. No vacation is guaranteed until BOTH a signed rental agreement AND deposit payment 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 the owners (contact details on the agreement). Your rental rate is determined at time of booking - rates cannot be adjusted (up or down) post-booking. Multi-week bookings are welcome in the summer; however, there is not a 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. Recent dredging (2024) in Tubbs Inlet, waterways parallel to Canal Street, and all feeder canals - including ours - have improved water access. We have a 17-foot skiff that clears during medium/high tide, but bigger watercraft may be more challenged. There are no rental refunds in the event your boat does not clear properly or if there is unforeseen damage to our 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 elegantly furnished. The kitchen is well-equipped. There are games and activities galore. Under the home you will find additional space to relax. Take the well-appreciated canoe or one of the two kayaks down the canal to the Intracoastal waterway. The screened porch provides a great venue for an afternoon board game or dining al fresco. Appreciate 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 awesome 'beach buggy' for simple transport of beach essentials.

We welcome units from families and responsible adults over the age of 25. 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 striking wildlife preserves – Bird Island – is a nice walk (2.5 miles from the home) down beach. 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.

Wrightsville Beach rental property booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

  • Summertime is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the largest rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Wrightsville Beach restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
  • In the Wrightsville Beach area, The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
  • Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
  • Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

  • Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
  • Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Island home On Canal, Near Beach - Aug 10-17, 2024 available has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your family.
  • Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a great stay:

  • Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
  • Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
  • When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
  • Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.

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.

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.
