My husband and I just returned from Sunset Beach. The rental far exceeded my expectations. The house was exactly as described and was well appointed with many amenities. Lynn was easy to work with and easy to get a hold of. The attention to detail and cleanliness were exceptional. We wanted for nothing in this lovely neighborhood. It was quiet but close enough to shopping and all. Beach is close. Calabash is close with Myrtle Beach at a short distance away. I even found a boarding kennel for my little dog for when we wanted to go out without him. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

This is a wonderful, well cared for home in a very nice neighborhood. Its in a quiet residential area, but close to everything, including the ocean (a short drive). The house is bigger than it appears from the outside and very well maintained. The inside is modern and very clean. The owners, Lynn & Randy, are very thoughtful, accommodating and responsive. And when they say the house is fully supplied with everything you will need, they mean it. Many thoughtful touches, such as a large book of area attractions, and menus for area restaurants, often with helpful comments from past guests. Without hesitation, we would recommend this home as a great place to stay, and its owners as great people to deal with. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you.

We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious Coastal Cottage was! We stayed for a week with our 8 and 10 year old daughters as well as my mother, and had more than enough room. The property was extremely clean and well-stocked with everything you need for a home away from home and more! We had a wonderful week and made many lasting memories. Thank you Randy and Lynn!

I have stayed at this cottage several times and it always feels like coming home. The house has a warm feel and is fully equipped with anything you could possiblly want. The deck and patio are spacious, sun filled and private, and the screen porch is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee. As far as the location.............I have stayed directly on the island, and quite honestly prefer this location. It is as close to being on the island as you can be, with the added bonus of the tall pines and singing birds. To top it all off, the owners are unbelievably friendly and helpful. Thank you Randy and Lynn for sharing such a lovely place!

We are one of two families that enjoyed your place on the week of July 17th. It was our first time to Sunset Beach, and we just fell in love. We will be back. Didn't want to go. There were tears even. Loved the special touches to the place and all the thought that went into every little thing. Thanks for sharing your place w/ us!

We had a wonderful time at the Coastal Cottage last week and only wish we could have stayed longer. This was by far the most accommodating vacation property that we have ever rented in the many years we have been coming to Sunset. We definitely feel as though we have found a hidden treasure! Thank you Lynn and Randy! Mike, Pam, and Bryan Marshville, NC

We just got home from your wonderful cottage at Sunset Beach. We had a great time and can never thank you enough for letting our family share your beach home. We dropped the keys into the box at the Shallotte post office on our way out this morning so you should get it Monday or Tuesday. You have left nothing out and no ammenties unmeet. This was our first trip to Sunset Beach and your home helped make it special. Again, thank you and we hope to visit again in the next couple of years.

What a lovely and comfortable home you have in Sunset Beach....Bill and I were SO pleased. Although we're pretty beat from the long journey back to Virginia yesterday, conversations are already taking place about returning next summer! We were blessed with great weather, and had an opportunity to visit with a number of family members we don't get to see often. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and we strove to leave it in the same manner. I will get the keys back in the mail to you tomorrow, and we'll be in touch!

You will be impressed! We had an extraordinary week at the beach. The cottage is a breathtaking 1.4 mile ride to the main beach parking lot. A very convenient parking pass is provided and we used it each day of our vacation. There are a number of good eateries nearby. For instance, there is a great Mexican restaurant next to Food Lion about 1.5 miles from the cottage. And, the seafood restaurant just down the road about .5 miles is excellent. The cottage is pleasantly large enough for six, the kitchen is perfectly located and amply stocked with everyday supplies that everyone uses, and the WiFi cable modem and router is there for all of us who have a need to get online. We loved the many home design touches that make you feel like you are staying in a special place. The beach amenities (large umbrella, ‘boogie’ boards, beach chairs) also added to the enjoyment of our stay. Would we rent again? Of course, that is the greatest compliment we could give.The Powells
