Sunset Beach Bliss! Come enjoy a relaxing and comfortable stay at our spacious top-floor condo, only 5 miles from the unspoiled beauty of Sunset Beach, and the fantastic seafood of Calabash. Overlooking the fountain in one of Sunset Village's numerous water features, our top-floor villa enjoys a beautiful water view from both the Master Bedroom, Screened Porch and Great Room. We offer 3 bedrooms (2 King-sized beds & 2 XL Twins) and 2 full baths, a large open great room with vaulted ceiling, dining area, and full sized kitchen, all recently redecorated and furnished.
Our master bedroom, the "lighthouse suite," is bright and airy. It has a King-sized bed, a walk-in closet and private bathroom, with access to the screened porch through a sliding glass door. Our second King-sized bed is located in the spare bedroom, decorated in nautical blues and stripes. The third bedroom boasts a tropical fish theme, suitable for both boys and girls, and two extra-long twin beds. The second bathroom is located just a few steps across the hall from both these rooms. All bedrooms have televisions (with cable), as well as in the Great Room (where guests will also find a small collection of DVDs). We also provide free Wi-Fi (high-speed internet service) at the condo. For a larger group of seven or eight, there is a queen-size pull out sofa in the Living area of the Great Room.
Soft seating for six and tranquil colors make the Living Room portion of the Great Room a pleasing spot for conversation, or a great book - or to watch some movies together. Adjoining it is the dining area, with seating for six at the table, plus four more seats at the bar, facing our kitchen. The kitchen is bright and well-stocked with enough plates, cutlery, and cookware to feed a hungry family. Plenty of room has been left in the pantry closet to accommodate a large order of groceries from the nearby Lowe's Foods (which offers a Lowe's Food To Go grocery ordering service, so you can skip the drudgery of grocery shopping and spend more time enjoying yourselves.) Instead, spend your time enjoying the mild temperatures of this North Carolina coastal town out on our screened-in porch, where you can close your eyes and lose yourself in the gentle sound of cascading water; or take advantage of your lofty perch to observe the hunting habits of a white Egret or Great Blue Heron, who visit daily, lured by the many ponds which are well-stocked with tilapia (Or you can give the birds a little competition, and bring your fishing pole.)
The Great Room and every Bedroom has a ceiling fan and are bright with natural light. And this villa offers all the expected amenities of a full-time home: the kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal and full-sized refrigerator (with ice maker) and oven. A full-sized side-by-side washer and dryer, ironing board and iron keep you free from Laundromat hassles. Parents will appreciate not having to drag along the baby's portable crib or highchair, as a Fisher Price booster seat (with dishwasher-safe food tray) and a Costco "pack-n-play" style portable crib (complete with fitted sheets) are there waiting for families with little ones.
The quiet golfing community of Sunset Village at Sandpiper Bay offers a wide variety of activities for every member of your party. It's just a short walk through our quiet community to get to the grounds of the 27 hole Sandpiper Bay Golf and Country Club. Sunset Village also makes available two swimming pools (just a few hundred feet walk around the corner from our building) and Jacuzzi, picnic areas, and tennis courts. The roads, golf cart paths and trails through and around the grounds provide ample opportunities for bicycling or pleasant walks, so you can get a closer look at the beautiful grounds, manicured greens, and shady lagoons.

Owner's Profile

Why the Owner Chose Sunset Beach
Our family discovered Sunset Beach, NC, late in the Summer of 2008 and spent several months after that first encounter, searching for a little place nearby so we could enjoy it again and again . . . and eventually make it our permanent home once we retire. So now we have a little place in Sunset Village at Sandpiper Bay, surrounded by lagoons and pristine golfing greens, with only 5 miles of easy driving between us and that lovely beach!
We have wanted a vacation condo on the North Carolina coast for many years, and with the birth of our little daughter, a desire to vacation in a home away from home grew stronger. In the summer of 2008, we decided to make the leap and started the process of choosing our beach. After months of visiting one NC beach after another, we eventually got to Sunset and fell in love.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
The golfing community of Sunset Village at Sandpiper Bay is a lovely little collection of villas tucked away behind the manicured grounds and shady lagoons of the Sandpiper Bay Golf and Country Club. The 3BR/2BA condo that we chose is light and airy, with a peaceful view over the water, right by a decorative fountain. We discovered that our 3rd-floor balcony provides an excellent vantage point for observing White Egrets fishing at the edge of the water, and the neighborhood is well laid out for a leisurely walk to the Club or an easy bike ride down its quiet streets. With all this in the village-like atmosphere of Sunset Beach, with excellent dining, entertainment and shopping of Calabash and N. Myrtle Beach just a short drive away, we feel extremely lucky to have a vacation home here.
