House




Available rates:
4 Bedroom House in Sunset Beach
SUMMER (June, July, August) - WEEKLY rentals ONLY, SATURDAY to SATURDAY, NO exceptions. If your desired dates are not open on the calendar, they are already reserved by another guest. We will not negotiate switching vacation dates with another confirmed rental.
HOUSE DETAILS:
2025 House updates: New mattresses and box springs for the King and Queen (2) bedrooms. New carpet throughout. Screened porch facelift complete. Two new and very efficient HVAC units with smart thermostats installed.
Parking is NOT an issue when you stay at our home - we are just yards from the beach access. Plenty of room for you and guests (up to 4 vehicles). You also have access to our incredible 'beach buggy' to transport all your essentials to/from the sand.
We try to keep our photos current. Just know there may be slight differences between the VRBO photos and the actual home. The house is ALWAYS better than the photos!
RENTAL PROCESS: You rent directly from the Owners. (Many VRBO homes are managed by commercial property managers.)
PAYMENT PROCESS: The ONLY payment method is credit card via VRBO's secure payment process. Owners do not receive or store your credit card information. VRBO holds ALL funds from Owners until your vacation start date. Only the rental fee and cleaning/internet/linen fees are distributed to owners. VRBO collects/pays all applicable taxes. VRBO also assesses a guest services fee and a payment processing fee. These VRBO fees are not passed to the Owners, nor are they negotiable.
HOW TO BOOK: To secure a vacation reservation, submit a VRBO online inquiry. From such, Owners will confirm pricing and share the rental agreement. Owners WILL NOT proactively send Guest a payment request. Guest must initiate booking via VRBO. This is to protect both parties from potential fraud. No vacation is guaranteed until BOTH the deposit payment AND the signed rental agreement are received – rates 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 VRBO 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 Owners (contact details on the agreement). Your rental rate is determined at time of booking - rates cannot be adjusted post-booking. Occasional booking specials apply only to reservations made during the designated time period. Multi-week summer bookings are welcome; however, there is no 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. Dredging (2024) has improved water access. We have a 17-foot skiff that clears, but larger watercraft may be challenged. There are no rental refunds in the event your boat does not clear properly or if there is unforeseen damage to the dock preventing its use.
GENERAL INFO: Dreaming of a quiet getaway 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 cottage on the island for many years before). We are always doing something to keep the property updated and fresh. This is our home away from home and we want you to enjoy Sunset Beach just like our family. The property is decent sized for a small family getaway (with grandparents, cousins, or friends).
The home has an open floor plan on the main level and is tastefully furnished. The kitchen is well-equipped. There are many games and activities. Under the house you will find additional space to relax. Take the well-loved canoe or one of the three kayaks down the canal to the Intracoastal waterway. The screened porch provides a great venue for an afternoon board game or dining al fresco. Enjoy ocean, canal, and Intracoastal views 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 house. Guests may enjoy our fabulous 'beach buggy' for easy transport of beach essentials. A modest assortment of beach chairs also available for Guest use. Guests to provide linens - bath and beach towels + bedsheets. All beds have pillows, blankets, and quilts. Bathmats and kitchen towels provided.
We welcome rentals from families and responsible adults over the age of 25 (the person who signs the rental agreement must be present on the property throughout the rental period). The house sleeps a maximum of 8 people (adults and any children traveling with you). Review the floorplan carefully to ensure the bedroom/bedding arrangements work for your group.
Absolutely NO 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 vacationing with younger children.
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-minute 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 atmosphere is quaint and family-oriented, even during peak season. One of the Nation’s most beautiful wildlife preserves – Bird Island – is a nice walk down beach (~2.5 miles from the house). 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.
