We make it painless to leave your worries behind. Pack your bathing suit, a good book and hit the road.

Spend your time exploring the island on foot or two wheels, exploring the wide beach, visiting the Kindred Spirit mailbox, shopping the local artisan street market on Monday mornings (in season) or grabbing a Sunset Slush. Take a fast trip over the bridge to Calabash, "Seafood Capital of the World", to try the one of the many calabash style seafood eateries and walk the boardwalk.

Strategies to get the best Sunset Beach rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• To get the best value, shift your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking your prefectvacation home:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Freshly updated canal front on one of Nat Geo's best beaches has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. 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.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, 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 a note as part of your feedback.
