About this property

Island Home is a 'Sheer Delight' at a Bargain Rate

This mid-island home features an open and airy gathering area with the living/dining/kitchen opening into a sunroom, all with soaring cathedral ceilings. The screened porch and sundeck are accessible from french doors from both the living and dining rooms. The master bedroom has a private bath and the other bedrooms have an adjoining bath between them. The kitchen is well equipped for all your cooking needs and both a gas and charcoal grill are available. The beach is a five minute walk from the house and there is an outside shower ideal for rinsing off the sand each time you return. Linens are not provided, but can be rented from Julie's Rentals on the island and can be delivered prior to arrival. While guests must provide their own paper products and cleaning supplies, a broom, mop and vacuum cleaner are provided. Also the beds are furnished with mattress pads, pillows and comforters. The rental fee includes a housekeeping service provided at the end of your stay, except for rentals of less than 5 nights.

Sunset Beach is the southernmost barrier island in NC with wide sand beaches protected by rows of dramatic dunes. It was ranked #4 by National Geographic as one of the 21 best beaches in the world in 2017, and made TripAdvisors list of budget beach vacations. It is a most relaxing, family oriented beach, with only a few low rise retail outlets, but close to the many amenities of Myrtle Beach. Just off the island there are also many restaurants, shops and other recreational outlets, as well as several world class golf courses. Just a short walk down the beach, Bird Island, a national wildlife preserve, consists of a two mile strand of uninhabited beach(except for the many species of birds, deer, goats and turtles) to make your walk or bike ride even more enjoyable.

We liked the location. It was close to the beach and shops on Sunset Beach. We didn’t stay at the house much but it was very home like. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well-equipped. Laundry and outdoor shower were conveniently located and the hammock was a nice touch. Would stay here again.

Very comfortable

We very much enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is exceptionally stocked. The walk to the beach is a little longer than I thought but the owner was nice enough to let us use his beach cart. The beach was very unusual as the water stays shallow for a long way into the ocean. Great for kids. Would stay there again.

2025 Sunset Getaway

Sheer Delight met our expectations and Chuck was very responsive and available as needed. As noted in the reviews, the house is dated and needs some TLC. However, it is a beach house and most of our time was spent on the beach and when we were at the house, we enjoyed all aspects of the facilities. The only two things that I would say about the house, were that the AC return vent and some of the AC registers need a good cleaning and filter replacement, and the laundry room, although very functional, it could use some cleaning and TLC also. Other than that, everything else worked fine and we had a great time at Sheer Delight and look forward to a return trip.

Beach house bargain

Great location and floor plan. Access to the beach is just down the street. Great place for family fun and relaxation. House is dated, but everything works great, ac held up great with 90 degree days. Host was super responsive.

Great visit!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sheer Delight during our annual visit to Sunset Beach. We’ve stayed in several rentals over the years - most of them more expensive - and this home stood out in a number of meaningful ways that truly enhanced our experience. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials - plenty of plates, cups, and utensils - which made meals easy and enjoyable. The air conditioning worked beautifully, even during some especially hot days, and the water pressure in the showers was excellent. We also loved the screened-in deck - it was a perfect spot to relax in the mornings and evenings.The location was another highlight. It’s just a short walk to the 32nd Street beach access, where tidal pools are. They are perfect for little ones to splash and play in. And with just a few extra steps, we discovered that the 34th Street beach access has a mostly ramped entry with only one short set of stairs at the end - very helpful for using a beach cart or wagon to carry toys, tents, and chairs.The house also included a nice selection of beach toys, making it especially well-suited for families with young children. Our host, Chuck, was very easy to interact with and provided simple, clear, and reasonable instructions, which made everything from check-in to checkout a breeze.Overall, it’s a well-appointed, comfortable home in a fantastic location that made for a wonderful beach getaway. We will be back!

Affordable & Beautifully Quiet

This was our 2nd year staying at this property & we enjoyed it. The best part is the screened in balcony - we spent many hours out there day & night. It is so quiet, trying after Labor Day is the best time to go! Definitely recommend!

Third Annual Girl’s Trip

It was a great little place to stay, and was a short walk to the beach. If we weren’t at the beach, we were enjoying the screened in porch. We normally have more in our party, but not all were able to come this year, so It was great for 3 adults and a toddler. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great family spot!

We had a wonderful time at sunset beach! The beach itself is great for families as it has a wide soft sandy shoreline and a gentle entrance to the water. We really enjoyed Chuck’s place. It’s as shown in photos, maybe even better! The main living space is nice and open with a lovely dining area as well as an outdoor patio. The walk to the beach is very manageable even with small children and the area is quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend! We saw Chuck a couple times during the stay and he is a friendly and easy to work with host.

Sheer Delight on Sunset Beach

We loved staying here for our first visit to Sunset Beach. The kids loved the hammock and looking for lizards outside! The light with the large windows in the main room is beautiful. We also loved hanging out on the porch. The walk was little long for the kids (4,6,8 years old) but no problem for my husband and myself. My watch said .3 miles to our beach spot and a lot of that is walking on the boardwalk itself. The beach itself is really pretty and we loved how there weren’t any houses right on the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Chuck

Host profile image
Our family has been enjoying Sunset Beach for 25 plus years. So much so that when we retired, we moved here and live just off the Island, so we are close by should you need anything during your stay. Because we are now living in Sunset Beach, we have decided to self manage our rental property after years of renting through Property Management companies, which allows us to offer a rental rate far below what is common.
