We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Hideaway! Everything was as described on the listing, and communication with the owner was awesome! It was a short walk to the beach, and not a bad drive into Calabash! We enjoyed it so much, we may try to plan another getaway later in the year!

This property was close to the beach. House is somewhat older but in pretty good condition. Older style kitchen cabinets. Have a couple of issues but the owner resolved them quickly. Did have to take care of a couple of the issues for the owner, but overall, stay for three months was pretty good.

Great house in a great location

The house is a perfect beach house! Short walk to the beach and a short drive to everything else. There's a great park(and ice cream) just across the bridge and great restaurants everywhere. Our hosts were terrific. Easy to talk to, and offered great dinner suggestions. Milo lived the deck and backyard and enjoyed napping on the carport under the house. I highly recommend the Sunset Hideaway.

Nice home a short walk to the beach!

Our family had a lovely week stay at Sunset Hideaway! The home is on the quieter side of the island and just a short walk to the beach. It’s also an easy walk to the pier; less than 1/2 a mile. The home came equipped with everything we needed...plenty of dishes, cookware, beach chairs, and televisions for downtime:). The property manager is easy to contact if needed.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Renee Granrud

Host profile image
Sunset Hideaway was purchased by 2 sisters who have been vacationing at Sunset Beach since 1977. We absolutely love Sunset Beach and think it is one of the best beaches on the East Coast. Very quiet and serene yet only 30 minutes to the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach.

Why they chose this property

We own the Rose Garden Beach House next door and when our neighbor decided to sell his home, we couldn't pass it up. It is located on the west end of the island where the beach is less crowded. There is a wheelchair and bike ramp on 40th st. A great place to relax and vacation. The West end is safer for children to ride bikes due to less car traffic. There are chairs, boogie boards and other beach amenities for our guests to use.

What makes this property unique

Sunset Beach is the southern most point in North Carolina. The island is less commercial and more relaxed than any other outer banks island. If you have time and do not mind a good walk check out the Kindred Spirit Mail Box near the jetties. If you like to gamble check out the Big M casino boat that leaves from nearby Little River SC. The fall is a great time for the beach and the fishing is very good on the pier during September and October.
