Location: Sunset Beach, Southern Coast, Coastal, North Carolina, USA (30 min. north of Myrtle Beach, 50 min. south of Wilmington) View Map
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10)
Keywords: Beach House
When you cross the intracoastal waterway you will travel over beautiful marshes filled with native birds on your way to Sunset Beach, North Carolina. The island itself is a little piece of paradise with some of the widest beaches you will see on the Atlantic seaboard. The beach is accessible at EVERY street via a wooden walkway through a large expanse of dunes filled with sea oats, grasses, and shrubbery.
We are located in the 8TH row back from the ocean about a FIVE MINUTE WALK to the water. The island is mainly residential and basically lacks commercialism aside from a few shops, a deli/grocery, and a bed and breakfast.
Our beach house at 425 32nd St.on the WEST END of the island has a very unique layout. There is a separate living room, dining area, kitchenette, and bedroom/bathroom upstairs with the remaining bedrooms and living/kitchen/dining areas on the first floor. There are 3 bedrooms on the first floor; one bedroom has a king size bed with a connecting bath and the other two bedrooms each have a twin and a queen size bed and share a bath.
Upstairs there is a suite with a king size bed and a bath along with the other amenities listed above. Almost like two houses in one with SEPARATE ENTRANCES for each. It is the perfect home for either two couples, or a family with teenagers who like their privacy, or perhaps young children who need a quiet space, or maybe even for grandparents who came along and would like a little peace and quiet and privacy too. And the widow's watch (or roof deck) has a beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset due to the southern exposure of the island. You can even catch a view of the ocean from here.
This is a NO SMOKING and NO PET unit. We only RENT TO FAMILIES and ADULTS OVER the age of 24. HOUSE PARTIES per se are not allowed however entertaining by the renters is acceptable as long as loud, unruly or otherwise objectionable behavior IN OR OUT of the house is not exhibited.

Renters are asked to supply their own paper products and any cleaning supplies they may need. A broom, mop, and vacuum cleaner are available for any immediate cleaning needs. A nominal fee of $90.00 will be charged for cleaning at departure to ensure the cleanliness of the house for our next renters.Check-in time is 3:30 pm and check-out time is at 10:30 am.These times need to be STRICTLY ADHERED to for my housekeeper to be able to get the entire house cleaned for the next renters.
The rental price listed is for the RENT ONLY. There is an ADDITIONAL CHARGE for the CLEANING(as stated above), TAX & SECURITY DEPOSIT. We DO NOT accept credit cards. ONLY CHECKS(PERSONAL AND CASHIERS)are accepted and there is a $30 charge for all returned checks.
We love our home and take a great deal of pride in it. We have furnished it in a beach motif and keep it updated to meet all of your needs. The furnishings have been chosen with care and we hope that they will create a comfortable atmosphere for you to vacation in.
We feel we are privileged to own a home on the island and we hope while you are there that you will take care of it as you do your own home. Thank you for allowing us to share Bugsy's Island Karat with you and your family. Have a great vacation.
May the weather be sunny,the water warm and the companionship delightful!!! ENJOY

Wonderful house

Review Submitted: 09/12/11
We had a wonderful stay at Bugsy's Island Karat. The house was well maintained, we enjoyed the front and back porches on the house. It was so close to the beach and felt comfortable with our children walking down to the beach by themselves. The beds were very comfortable as the new couch downstairs (which we love-I want one just like it!). We definitely hope to come back next year.

This house is great for families with older children. The upstairs apartment gives them their own space. The property is always clean and very well maintained. Any problems are always promptly attended to. The owners have always been helpful and friendly. We have stayed in this home for a number of summers and have never been disappointed.

A group of friends rented this property in order to attend a wedding on the island. It was perfect. There was plenty of space and the upstairs area was perfect for the the couple with a child to allow for early bed and wake up times. We also appreciated the beach chairs and toys that are provided since most of us flew in. If we return to Sunset Beach we will be back!

We always look forward to returning to Sunset Beach and Bugsy's Island Karat, It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy family and friends. Bugsy's is a comfortable, well-planned, pleasant and welcoming home away from home. Unforgettable happy memories are made at Bugsy's and Sunset Beach. We have also found Becky King extremely pleasant, efficient and easy to do business with. Bugsy's reflects her efficiency, you will find everything you need there for a great vacation.

After years of vacationing at Ocean City, MD., I decided to try Sunset Beach and absolutely loved both Sunset Beach and Bugsy's Island Karat. The house was immaculately clean, spacious, and the upstairs living area is awesome! The beach is a very conveniant 5 minute walk away, and once there you will find one of the cleanest beaches around. The island is very quiet and family oriented, and was definately a refreshing change of pace. Becky was great to work with, the price is well within reason, and Becky even called once we were settled in to make sure everything was O.K. Can't wait to go back next summer, and for many after!

We had a wonderful time at Sunset Beach! Bugsy's Island Karat was the perfect place for us to stay. The house is well decorated, was very close to the beach and especially provided the unique sleeping combinations of a Queen bed and twin bed in two of the rooms; excellent use of space! We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of Sunset and the convenient drive to Myrtle Beach for shopping. Becky was a pleasure to work with!

As one of my daughters summed up our stay -- "it was Awesomeness". The house was spotless and very nicely decorated. The bedrooms were perfect for our family (6 adults and 3 kids) and that top floor bedroom/den/kitchenette was a terrific surprise and deserves better promotion in the description. Becky was very flexible to work with and responsive to any needs -- she not only called us upon our arrival, but when we found the outdoor shower valves were not working well (corrosion problem) she had the plumber at the house within a few hours and repaired before we got back from the beach. We are already making plans for a return visit to Bugsy's and another great family vacation.

My family and I loved vacationing at Sunset Beach and had such a wonderful time at your beach house. We also loved the upstairs suite and how close you are to the uncrowded beach. The home was very comfortable and we all had a very relaxing week. We especially enjoyed the upper level deck, taking in the view, and just enjoying being together. The owners were great to work with. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone seeking a very well maintained attractive home for relaxation and fun with family and friends!

I have stayed at a number of places at Sunset Beach but none is nicer than Bugsy's Island Karat. It is comfortable, very clean, relaxing, all you could ask for and more in a beach house. When the whole family is going I don't even need to compare, this is the one. The price is right, the location is great, the rental process is simple, there's nothing not to like. Don't miss a chance at this one!
