The Sea Palm, A Coastal Cottage Steps From The Beach!!!
This seaside retreat is owned by The Purgason family since 1972, when first built. The home offers a large front porch accessed by sliders from the living area and both front bedrooms. The back porch is a shady morning spot perfect for coffee. To top it off, the "Widows Walk" (rooftop deck) offers surround views of the ocean, marsh and island community with seating for all to enjoy. Perfect spot to catch spectacular sunsets the island is named for. Porches include swings, rockers and comfortable seating. Exterior is landscaped with palm trees and white sand. Ample parking! There are two exterior sand showers, one private and one to knock off sand and beach equipment from a long day at the beach. A large rear grilling deck with oversized casual dining table and plenty of seats—a fun spot for eating watermelons. Two grills are available, take your pick of gas or charcoal. Napping hammock in a shady spot that captures the perfect ocean breeze. Back yard with sodded grass, perfect play area for kids. Rare concrete driveway perfect for basketball, chalk drawing, jumping rope, skating.....The family's collection of sea shells has been used in the interior staging and exterior landscaping. The special shells have been collected by grandchildren and family members over the years.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Roger Purgason
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!
