About the host

Hosted by Roger Purgason

Host profile image
The Purgason family built this home in 1972 when there were very few houses on the island, all the roads were sand, and the only access was by a one lane swing bridge!
WR and Paulette had one son, Roger, who spent many hours playing in the sand dunes on either side, where newer homes now sit. He and his wife, Joanna, and their three children, Cade, Taylor and Kaylie, now enjoy making memories with family and friends at the Sea Palm, and look forward to each visit!

Why they chose this property

Sunset Beach has definitely grown since this home was built, there are now very few empty lots, and we have easy access to the island via a large span bridge, but it has kept its slow, quiet pace. Sunset is a very family friendly island. The beach is nice and wide, without drop-offs in the sand while swimming. At low tide, many days there are great tide pools, and even at high tide there is plenty of beach to share. The sand dunes seem to grow every year, and the boardwalks at each beach access are well maintained to make it easy to get there. Be prepared for some steps at the access at 35th street to cross the dunes, but there are ramps for beach access at the pier and at 40th street to make access easier for bikes and strollers.

What makes this property unique

The West end of Sunset beach is a great spot to catch sunsets in the evening. At the end of 40th street, the view stretches out over the marsh and is simply stunning.
While walking the beach past 40th street, it runs into Bird Island, a sanctuary for birds and turtles alike. Many mornings, you will find new turtle nests being staked, and a lucky few have caught the babies spilling out.
Sunset Beach is famous for its Kindred Spirit Mailbox, its a good ways onto Bird Island, tucked in the dunes. Plan to spend some time on one of the benches reading and recording your own thoughts.
Sunday morning church services are offered all summer at the pier. Its one of our family's favorite traditions, to worship on the sand at Easter.
We could go on and on about the reasons to love this island, we hope you will find a few of your own and tell us about them!
