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 room 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.

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.

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

  • 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!

  • Loved, loved, loved this place! My sister and her family, and myself, took my mom and her hubby here for her 70th birthday. She and hubby had upstairs apartment to get away from the kids. It was perfect size for us. We rented bikes - which is a must! Driving is silly for such a small, cozy island. The beach was barely a block away -- just close enough to be convenient for carrying stuff and far enough off main drag to be quiet. It had tons of beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, three porches (front, back and on roof) so we could all have our own space, and kitchen stocked with lots of plates, cups, cooking utensils. It was well kept and had a very helpful binder with tips on where to go in the area. My only complaint was that the grill was completely skanky and falling apart, and I couldn't bring my dog. But neither of these things could spoil such a wonderful week!

  • My family and I could not have had a better time at Bugsy's Island Karat. It is simply one of the nicest homes on Sunset Island. Incredibly well kept, updated, as well as stocked with every possible need. Thank you to Becky and her home for making it a perfect week of vacation at Sunset Beach! We look forward to coming back!

  • This beach house was wonderful! It was well-equipped and very clean. We really liked the floorplan, and the upstairs was especially nice for the teenagers. Thank you for sharing your lovely home and we look forward to staying there again and again!

  • Bugsy's Island Karat is an excellent place to stay. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed and the home was spotless and very clean. The home has a very unique layout which included a second unit upstairs with a small kitchen. Great for a large family or two families sharing a home. It was also very close to the beach, which made walking to and from it very easy. Great if you need to go back to make lunches. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the bathrooms were spotless. The crows nest had great unobstructed views and was refreshing after the beach. The owner (Becky) was very pleasant to deal with and responded to questions and emails promptly. She was also very helpful in making my stay pleasurable. When I return to Sunset, I'm sure to contact Becky first.

  • We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at the beach. The house was better than expected. The living room upstairs allowed the grown-ups to "get away" from the kids. This was the first time we tried a "VRBO" property. Our experience was excellent. We would definitely try to get this house again. Thanks, Becky, Mike, Mila, and Family

  • We just returned from a wonderful stay at Sunset Beach--and Bugsy's Island Karat. It is mid-October yet the weather could not have been better. The beach is beautiful, wide with white sand, and we were even able to enjoy the dolphins at play in the ocean. On the short walk from the house to the beach we came across a deer standing in the brush. Becky's house was more than we hoped for, extremely clean and stocked with all the comforts of home. The kitchen was well equipped which made things so helpful for cooking breakfast. The layout of the home is perfect-with a completely separate area upstairs which is perfect for people who may want to sleep in late or just have some privacy. All in all this trip was a huge success and we would highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay a Sunset Beach. Becky was very easy to work which certainly added to to this pleasant experience.

  • Our Stay at Bugsy's Island Karat was excellent. A variety of things contributed to this very fine vacation experience. The house was super. The layout of the house lends itself to a wide variety of activities. From card playing to Yoga, the house accommodated all our needs. The water pressure in the showers made rinsing off and bathing a real treat. I watched developing Thunderstorms from the fourth floor crows nest early in the morning...The families enjoyed movies and dining together in the main room on the second floor. It was wonderful. Shopping is close. The beach is a huge magnet for more activities. Walking and biking on the flat sandy beach was an activity we enjoyed everyday. We surprised a family of deer early one morning as we crossed the dune going for our morning constitional. (Gone Pictures too!)We had great weather and the waves provided superior bodysurfing and bogeyboarding throughout the week. To repeat, It was an excellent vacation!

  • what a beautiful, up to date, clean house. plenty of room for 11 people. the setup is perfect. the upstairs master suite with kitchen, living/dining area, and kitchen is like a condo of it's own. the crows nest is cool to go up in and check out the surroundings. you can see the ocean and the pier. the house is a short jaunt to the beach, better the any of the oceanfront houses because they aren't really ocean front, there is a huge section of dunes you have to cross by boardwalk (same one you will use) just to get to the beach. stay at this house instead and you will be pleasantly surprised. the town is very laid back. and sand dollars are easy to find for those beach combers who love that kind of thing. great buggie boarding beach also, though surfers will work their buts off to catch short waves. the front porch is a large and is a great place for family conversation and games. boogie boards and sand toys, as well as beach chairs are provided in the guest storage on the ground level. there is a sink down there for cleaning fish (if you desire) and an enclosed outside shower to get the sand off before you go inside. parking is great. there is room for at least six cars. becky will take care of you for sure. nothing hidden. just a great time at a great home.

  • This was my second visit to Bugsy's Island Karat. The house is very spacious and tastefully decorated. The private, upstairs apartment is particularly nice and provides a getaway from other guests, when needed! This is a great house and provides everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Sunset Beach will always be special to my family because we spread our Mother's ashes in the ocean in 2006. We plan to make an annual pilgrimage to Sunset Beach in May of every year to celebrate and remember her life. Thanks to our hosts for making all of this possible. Tricia H. Johnston Greenville, NC
