About this property

Ebb Tide: Spectacular Bayfront View At Sunset Beach, NC!

Unsurpassed bay view! Walk to the beach in less than 3 minutes.

What makes this beach house 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 views across the bay. Views 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 enjoy incredible sunsets. Our east facing, bay view screened porch, which spans the full width of the house, receives early morning sun and is protected from stronger afternoon rays, making it an ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening beverage after a day spent on the beach, site seeing, shopping or playing golf. Also viewable from the screened porch, is a large undeveloped tract of land just purchased by the Town Of Sunset Beach, to be preserved as a park. Access to the beach is easy, and you will have your toes in the sand/surf after a short 5 minute walk. Our house is thoroughly cleaned and cared for every week.

Fabulous 'end of the bay' location provides excellent 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 Best Beaches in the World by National Geographic!

For boat or jet ski owning guests, there is a non tide-dependent state boat ramp located on the mainland beneath the Sunset Beach Bridge.

We have installed a permanent charcoal grill downstairs on the bay for ease in outdoor meal preparation.

Can't wait to come back!!!

My family has been coming to Sunset Beach for more than 30 years and this is our favorite house we've ever had, no kidding. Part of that sentiment was the truly spectacular view down the canal from a very spacious screened porch, part was how clean this property felt, and part was how this house suited my family's particular needs and preferences. The 2 main level bedrooms each with a bathroom were great for our parents to avoid one more set of stairs, and the upstairs bedrooms/shared bathroom worked out great for us, very spacious. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped for a rental, including random things like a pizza cutter, cheese grater, pizza pan (can you tell we like pizza?), and plenty of knives, pots, pans, etc. I genuinely think this was the cleanest rental I've ever stayed in, too. The renters closet had spare chairs, floaties, and other odds and ends for the beach -- thank you, owners! What a lovely touch. If you're renting kayaks or planning any other water activities, be aware that this particular house is at the very end of the canal and therefore you will have to plan your excursions around the tides - at low tide (and about an hour in either direction of it), it was impossible to launch a kayak from the dock, not enough water. But of course, we adjusted accordingly and had a wonderful time :) When swimming within several hours of low tide, I had to be careful not to touch the bottom (I'm 5'6")...so don't just jump in!

Perfect location for our family

Ebb Tide is a wonderful property. Bedrooms are generously sized. There is ample LR seating, a well stocked kitchen, renters closet with chairs, etc and enough extra room to lock up our own items as well, plus easy walk to beach. The large screen porch overlooking the bay is star of the show and dock is perfect to launch a kayak when the tide is in. Check-in was easy and owners do a great job communicating. Highly recommend this property!

Perfect location!!

We had a wonderful time at Ebb Tide. It’s a perfect location for our family. Just a short walk to the beach and right on the sound! When we were tired of the beach, we would play in the sound. We rented kayaks and a paddle board and had a blast! We would highly recommend staying here. Wonderful porch overlooking the water. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely rent here again!!!

6 Star House

The house and the landlord are terrific. A good amount of space and well appointed. The water view is an incredible jewel changing with the various hours of the day. Birds are amazing. The screened porch alone would make the trip worthwhile. If you like to cook, you may want to pack a few sharp knives and some leftover containers. Otherwise, the kitchen was just fine,

A week in paradise

What an appealing beach house! Located on our favorite island, it was light and airy, beautifully decorated, and well equipped. The outstanding view down a channel to the ocean made the spacious porch its outstanding feature.

The BEST location

This property has lovely canal views! We saw snowy egrets and great blue herons every day. The dock kept the children happy, and the walk to the beach was very short. My favorite part was the screened porch rocking chairs. The beds were comfortable. My only complaints are poor lighting in the living room and fairly dirty kitchen floor.

Outstanding views of bay & sunset

We appreciate the extra efforts to restore and keep a beach property clean and updated and the owners have done an excellent job achieving a fresh, inviting home. The large screened porch with plenty of seating allowed our group of 3 couples to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and evenings. Having 3 full bathrooms with 3 king and queen beds was ideal for 3 couples. Kitchen is well equipped, as well as the outside grill and beach gear. We'll definitely return and recommend to family and friends.

Ebb Tide Getaway

Very nice, well-maintained, clean cottage. Excellent location with beautiful view of inland water from the screen porch and easy, quick access to Bald Beach. Loved going up to the crow's nest when the breeze kicked up. And grilling by the water. First time at Sunset Beach-highly recommend both the beach and this cottage.

So peaceful!

We’ve always rented on the southern part of the island and really enjoyed ourselves, but nothing beats waking up every day and enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the channel. The property was very clean with a well stocked rental closet. Getting to the beach was INCREDIBLY easy, with the 12 street access being not only close but very level, with stairs only at either end The few questions we did have were answered very quickly by our host. Overall a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to claim a week again next year!

Owner was Very Helpful and Responsive!

Ebb Tide is a great spot! It was very clean and comfortable. The owner was more responsive and helpful than other VRBO owners I have rented from in the past. When Hurricane Isaias threatened to ruin our vacation, the owner responded right away to our questions and had the dock fixed almost immediately post storm. I would definitely stay at Ebb Tide again!

We had a great experience. Plenty of room! Great location. Easy 5 min walk to the beach although we rented a golf cart for all beach items. Might suggest replacing outdoor cushions for more comfort but overall very happy. Will hopefully rent again. The owner was wonderful to work with and very accommodating.

We enjoyed sitting out on the screened deck watching the wildlife each day. The dock was great to fish from (although not much was biting) and we rented paddle boards that were easy to put in the water at the dock. The beach is just a short walk away. We would definitely recommend this property.

Why they chose this property

As lifelong North Carolinians, who have visited many beaches along the Carolina coasts, we feel Sunset Beach has a unique mix of qualities that place it among the best. Sunset Beach is one of few remaining Carolina beaches unspoiled by excessive commercial development and also maintains a 35' building height limit. The undeveloped wildlife area just behind our house was recently purchased by the Town of Sunset Beach, to be preserved as a park, securing our unobstructed view down the bay. The beach itself is very wide and flat, with some of the softest sand you will find anywhere. Ocean front homes are separated from the beach by an expansive natural buffer of dunes, wax myrtles and sea grasses. The marsh and bay areas of this island are equally stunning and are really what led us to Sunset Beach & Ebb Tide.
