About this property
Ready for your Family Retreat - Private Canal Access & Steps from the Beach
What more could you look for in a beach house? This luxurious home is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The Sand Bunker is spacious enough for even the largest of families. A spacious, open floor plan between the kitchen, dining, and living rooms allow family members to stay connected, even when doing different activities.
This home boasts four bedrooms plus a daybed and four and a half baths plus an outdoor shower. Each of the four bedrooms have a private en suite. The two bedrooms on the first floor offer a king-sized bed and a queen-sized bed. The two bedrooms on the second floor provide a king-sized bed and a bunk room. A sizable second story loft serves as a second living space, perfect for playing games at a game table. A daybed in the loft can convert to a king-sized bed, allowing for even more sleeping arrangements. Each bedroom has a smart TV.
There is a fully renovated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment needed to whip up an elaborate homemade meal. In addition to the dining room which seats 8 to 10 people, there is a large screened-in porch equipped with a dining table and 6 chairs to bring a breath of beachy air to any meal. Additionally, a bar top as part of the island provides seating with four bar stools. A small screened-in nook off the kitchen serves as a place to watch the sun rise with a morning cup of coffee. A full- sized washer and dryer are tucked away in the laundry closet off the kitchen. Last, a powder room off the kitchen keeps the en suites private.
There is a private dock that connects the house to a channel that reaches the Intracoastal Waterway. Using this, you can fish, kayak, paddle board, jet ski, and boat at your convenience. The opportunities are truly endless! An outdoor shower located at the rear of the house allows you to wash away the sand and salty water after a fun day at the beach. A propane grill, picnic table, and hammock allow for even further enjoyment under the house. Beach toys, three bikes, umbrellas, beach chairs, wagon, and a cooler on wheels are provided in the storage room to make your stay easier.
Come visit Sunset Beach to see why National Geographic named it as one of the top five beaches in the world. Fall in love like Nicholas Sparks who based a novel on the island. Walk to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox to read heartfelt journal entries - maybe even write your own.

We had a great stay! The location was perfect — very close to the beach access at Pier 13, which made everything super convenient. The host communicated promptly anytime we needed anything, and the layout of the home worked really well for our group. We would definitely rent here again!
We have been coming to SB since 1992 and it is the best beach on the East Coast. The house was great, the grandkids loved it and it is an easy walk to the beach.
I left something at the house and the property owner was so helpful and mailed it back to me. She was also very responsive during our stay whenever I messaged her. Loved the house and the location!
Loved the property and handy location to the beach!
Plenty of room and 2 master suites on main floor is a game changer!

Chairs
And other items make for a great stay!
Our stay was trouble free and much needed. The home was exactly as described, and Kristie is a great host! All of our questions were answered promptly. Check-in was a breeze, as well as checkout. The house is a quick and easy walk to the beach. The kitchen has all you need, beds were comfortable. We had a great week.
We loved being on the canal and also just a short walk away from the beach. The ensuite bathrooms were a big hit for all. Plenty of chairs and bikes. Highly recommend for friends or family.
After 20 years, we reconnected with 2 other couples and friends for our beach weekend stay. This home met all our expectations and was the perfect layout for everyone to enjoy. The location was perfect for us guys to play golf and the girls to enjoy the beach.Great memories created and a great stay. Thanks.This
Great spot!! We have stayed here before for that reason. Owners are very easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. The access to the renters closet and all that is in it is fabulous! We would highly recommend anyone to stay here. Welcoming to folks of all ages!
Nice home. Well stocked. Kids and son-in-law enjoyed the dock / canal. The bikes were great. Easy walk to the beach. It was very nice sitting out on the decks in the evening. Nice vacation.
We really enjoyed ourselves. Very nice, clean house. Plenty of room for everybody. Check in process was easy and owners communication was very prompt. Only complaint ia the teip didnt last long enough. Would definitely rent again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was clean, spacious & modern, and we appreciated the beach chairs and other accessories. Lots of room for our two-family party of 7. Lovely views of the canal and a quick walk to the beautiful beach. Kristie was prompt and responsive when one issue arose. Definitely recommend!
We had 11 of us, and we had a wonderful stay!! The room with the bunk beds allowed the children and teens to gather to play video games. The screened in porch with a table for 6 allowed them space for card games. The other two porches allowed others to get away and read. The weather wasn't the best, and the house was spacious enough for us to settle inside when necessary. The hostess, Kristie, is very responsive to questions and other help. We hope to stay there again.
Great house for a big group. 4 bedrooms and 4 baths not easy to find - plus a half bath. Nice updates. Various outdoor porches, dock for fishing, lots of amenities. Excellent communication from homeowners for any questions that arise. Don’t hesitate to rent this one. Everything you need for a terrific vacation with family or friends.
This is the 25th year for our Family of 5 (now 13) staying at Sunset during Labor Day. The weather was perfect!!!!! The location was ideal! Plenty of parking. Kitchen supplies were great for all of us. Thank you for your hospitality. We will hopefully return next Labor Day.
My extended family and I rented this house for a week-long vacation, and it was great! The location speaks for itself. The house was really great and comfortable for our 5 adults and 2 kids. Our favorite things were each bedroom had its own bathroom, and the 4 porches! There were plenty of places for us to all be together, or split off and have some quiet space to ourselves. We would rent again. Kristie was a great host!
We stayed for a weekend for Labor Day and found the house very well stocked, clean, and conveniently located near the beach. We did not use the dock, but did use all the rooms and really liked that they all had their own bathrooms and TVs. We enjoyed using the bikes that came with the house but they were not a fav with our teenage sons. Overall we had a wonderful time at the Sandbunker.
