Great stay

My family and I had a wonderful time staying here. The only thing we felt a little disappointed with is the pull out couch is covered due to the arms being broken so my child wasn’t able to use the bed function. Other then that, the house exceeded our expectations, so close to the beach, great neighborhood, and amazing patio.

Cute cottage just steps from the beach

Perfect for a couple or family with 1-2 young kids who don’t mind a smaller space. Beach access is truly just across the street. Bean bag toss set, a few sand toys, beach chairs, and beach towels were included. My older son had a blast with the metal detector that was left for use. Adorable outdoor space with privacy fence that was more spacious than expected and we loved hearing the ocean when hanging out on the also spacious front porch. Shower was beautifully upgraded but is a small stall size as mentioned so this could be a set back for a larger person. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and location!

Great beach getaway!

This little cottage was perfect for me and my husband. The property had everything we needed with functional kitchen, comfortable bed and nice family room area. Best of all is we were walking on the beach in less than one minute!

Awesome Sunset Beach getaway.

A well-equipped and great beachside home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is right near the beach and there are plenty of tasty restaurants within walking distance. We appreciated the owners for two reasons...One, there was a small snafu when we checked in and they immediately rectified the situation. Two, instead of some VRBO rentals where, at check out after paying 150 for a cleaning fee, you are asked to clean all the dishes, strip the bed, start the laundry and take out all garbage, these owners state that "there is no check out or cleaning procedure, we want you to enjoy your time here". Awesome!

Great Place

This VRBO listing is a must stay. This is a perfect place for 2 people. It is a friendly neighborhood, ton of walkable restaurants, nice walking trail down the street that follows the beach and extremely quick beach access right out the front door. Would recommend to everyone!

Perfect location

They made everything they could out of the space they had. I was worried with the low sq ft of the home but I didn’t feel cramped inside with 2 adults and 2 kids. the mattress was better than mine slept great. Patio was great for eating outside. Would love to stay here again

This place was perfect for my wife and I for a get-away weekend. The location is awesome. Close to beach and great for a walking since it’s near the bike path. Also close to other surrounding beaches, shops, and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Cozy beach house

Adorable cozy home. We enjoyed the location right across the street from the beach. The home was stocked with necessities. The back yard was nice with the decor and lighting. The outdoor shower was great to hose down after time at the beach. Queen bed was comfortable. Towels were nice. We enjoyed playing new games that were provided. The updates to the home were nice. Thank you for a great stay Rob and Shirley.

Beautiful house, great location

We loved our stay here. The house was perfect for the 2 of us. Less than a minute walk to the beach. Great sunset views. Property was just as it was described. The hosts were very kind and had no troubles during our stay. I would recommend this Property to anyone and would definitely come back in the future. Coffee house a short walk away was great.

Great Beach House

Perfect location to enjoy the beach which is just steps away. Easy and convenient access to the bike trail that runs along the coast. The house has all needed amenities and the gated yard is perfect to hangout and have privacy. Within walking distance to plenty of restaurants in the area. Second time we stayed here. Loved it.

Quiet and convenient.

Place is perfect for a couple or single surfer. Surf does not break well out front but access to HB and surrounding areas is great. Place was super clean and nice. Well equipped. Shower is tiny but great water pressure! Owners stopped by a few times changing out furniture on patio. I didn't know they were coming.overall a great place and I would stay again.

About the host

Robert and Shirley live nearby in Sunset Beach and enjoy hosting people seeking a fun, beach trip. We love the nearby restaurants, bars, and shops. But our main love is the ocean, and the quiet cottage across the street from the beach.

Why they chose this property

This house overlooks Sunset Beach's calm greenbelt, where you sit out and watch the people and dogs pass by.

What makes this property unique

A ground-level outdoor space is perfect for reading, sunning, or grilling. The outdoor shower is lovely after an ocean swim or sunbathing on the sand.
