From sunrise atop the crows nest to paddling off the canal dock - and everything in between -all the features of this vacation house and it’s location kept the FUN in function and truly felt like home. This beautiful house is well-appointed inside and out - cozy not cramped, comfortable not cavernous! The hosts are thoughtful and responsive. Would definitely book again!

An Excellent Stay!

Upon arrival, we were happy to see that it was as beautuful as pictured and described, if not more! There was plenty of space for the teenage cousins in the bunk room, spacious king and queen bedrooms for the couples and extra sleeping space in the large loft as well. Many enjoyed the dock and kayaking as well. Really appreciated the quick replies, friendliness and hospitality given by the host Tracey as well! Highly recommend this place!

Best time at Sunset Beach in years! Tracey could not have been more helpful, gracious, and accommodating. She also predicted great weather for the week and she was spot-on! The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable, spotless, and well appointed. The canal was quiet and the dock had a kayak launcher. We will be back as a family next year!

Most excellent Sunset Beach home on canal

From the very start the experience with the owner was thoughtful, kind, and prompt. The home was so well for our large family who cook all meals at “home”. A very convenient walk to the beach and back door access to the canal to kayak, fish, crab if desired! This home is at the top of our list!

About the host

Hosted by Tracey

Host profile image
My husband and I have four boys, ages 18-37 and two beautiful daughter-in-laws. Our first visit to Sunset Beach was in 1998 and we've never had need for another beach. We especially like sharing Sunset Beach with first time visitors and love seeing them fall in love with our little piece of heaven.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been enjoying Sunset Beach for more than 20 years. We bought on the ocean front back in 2013 but yearned for boat access so we sold our interest in the ocean front property and purchased this house on the canal. We've spent the better part of the last 2 years fully renovating the house, adding the crow's nest and loft, an additional upstairs bathroom, increasing the size of the master bath and updating with all new finishes and appliances. It has been a labor of love and the house is now everything we dreamed it could be. We named the house "sea potential" when we first purchased it because we could "see" the potential. The house had good "bones" and a great location for our watersports and equally important - an easy, quick walk to the beach. We hope you enjoy Sea Potential as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Sea Potential is fully renovated, unlike many canal rentals. The canal location is great for those who want to bring a boat, jet skis or paddleboards. Kayaks are available for renters to use. Fishing or crabbing off the dock is always a fun activity for the kids.

The screen porch, two back decks and crow's nest offer so much outdoor space to enjoy the views and fresh air.
