About this property

COASTAL COTTAGE, CLOSE TO BEACH, PETS OK, FREE PIER PARKING, WI-FI, BRING LINENS

FLIP FLOPS & FLAMINGOS

Located in Shoreline Woods, one mile from the beach, we offer a comfortable cottage surrounded by trees in a quiet waterway community. The house is on the mainland; to gain access to the beach, there is a free public parking area next to the pier and a larger "pay-to-park" lot beside it. We currently offer a free parking pass, but this is subject to change. Once your toes hit the sand, you can stroll the wide beach, walk to the Kindred Spirits Mailbox, fish from the pier or just sit, relax and enjoy the ocean breeze.

Dogs less than 20 pounds and house-trained are welcome for a nominal pet fee of $100. No smoking or vaping is allowed in the cottage. There is no maid or linen service; we ask you to provide your own bed linens, towels and wash cloths. All cleaning supplies are provided so that you can perform the exit cleaning, which is part of keeping rates reasonable. The cottage has an energy saving HVAC system; the cooling system low is 72 degrees and the heating system high is 76 degrees. Ceiling fans and blankets are present to help with any temperature extremes.

The cottage features 3 bedrooms (1 king bed, 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds; plus, a queen sleeper sofa) and 2 full bathrooms. There is a renovated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, an extended countertop with two stools, and a washer / dryer. The great room has a cathedral ceiling and Smart TV and is open to the dining room featuring a table and 6 chairs. The backyard has a deck with gas grill and a fenced in patio area, with additional seating and two chaise lounge chairs. Deck boxes are filled with beach chairs, umbrellas, body boards, beach toys and sand buckets. Perhaps the best part of the cottage is the screened-in front porch; great for enjoying an early morning breakfast, an afternoon happy hour or listening to the rain at midnight.

The cottage is the perfect location to serve as home base for excursions to Calabash (the Seafood Capital of the World), historic Southport, neighboring beaches in NC and SC (Ocean Isle, Emerald Isle, Holden Beach, Cherry Grove, North Myrtle Beach), dozens of golf courses, the planetarium, and a multitude of specialty shops and restaurants. There are also two bicycles if you just want to cruise around the neighborhood.

The Coastal Cottage is a family-owned second home that we hope our guests will enjoy. We are not a rental agency or a property management company. We are not currently offering monthly rentals with reservations limited to no more than two weeks. We ask that guests be married, accompanied by a parent or over 25 years old. We want you to have an amazing time on your visit to Sunset and will be happy to make recommendations if asked.

We look forward to your visit and hope that you come to know and love Sunset Beach and the cottage as much as we do.

Your hosts,
Randy and Lynn

We took a chance and it paid off.

Our family takes a beach trip every year and we always stayed in the same house. This year we decided to change it up and stay in Sunset and it was worth it. The kids loved all the flamingos and the outside shower helped so much with sand from the beach.

Cozy cottage -great location

Cottage located in a quiet neighborhood located just a mile from the bridge to cross over to Sunset Beach. They provide a parking pass so you have a great place to park at the beach. Cottage is close to a grocery store and about 6 miles from Calabash where there are lots of great places to eat.

Family time

We enjoyed the few days we were able to go to the beach. The house was perfect for our family vacation. Hurricane Debby shortened our beach week. Randy & Lynn were wonderful to work with. Paula stopped by and talked with my husband and she was very pleasant and helpful. We will definitely keep this house on our vacation list for the future.

Great home for a family vacation!

This great little house is one mile from Sunset Beach in a quiet neighborhood. The home is supplied with plenty of items for the beach that you don’t need to bring, like boogie boards, umbrellas, wagons, etc. Just bring your own bed and bath linens and off you go, enjoy!

Delighful "Cottage"

We were looking for a place to spend a few days around Valentine's that would also allow pets. We found this delightful "Coastal Cottage" that fit the bill perfectly! It was clean, warm and homey, in a quiet neighborhood, close to all the things we enjoy about the Sunset Beach area. Oh, and the hosts we're so easy to work with and accommodating. We WILL visit again.

Best beach house & location I've experienced!

This attractive and endearing home welcomes you to Sunset Beach community. The neighborhood is beautiful and fun to explore by walking or cycling and the island is a short drive across the bridge. Best of both worlds. Clean, well equipped and looked after. Definitely want to return!

Fabulous Cottage & Host!!!

Beautiful, clean, close to not only Sunset Beach but Ocean Isle, Holden and Cherry Grove Beaches. Was so impressed with how well stocked the residence was, there were cleaning supplies, extra paper towels, toilet paper, coffee maker, dishes, pans, everything you need! Communication with the host was amazing, they were so helpful and very kind. Would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage and will most definitely be coming back! Thank you so much for sharing your cottage!

WE ARE YOUR HOST...LYNN & RANDY

Why they chose this property

WE FIRST CAME TO SUNSET MANY YEARS AGO AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING HERE BUT BEACH HOMES AND BEACH......LETS GET OUT OF HERE.....MANY YEARS LATER WE CAME TO SUNSET BEACH AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING HERE BUT BEACH HOMES AND BEACH......LETS BUY A HOME.....I LIKE THIS PLACE.

What makes this property unique

THE COTTAGE WILL SURPRISE YOU....IT LOOKS SMALL UNTIL YOU ENTER INTO THE GREAT ROOM AND THEN YOU DISCOVER HOW A SPLIT FLOOR-PLAN WORKS. IT IS A SMALL COTTAGE CLOSE TO THE BEACH, LOCATED OFF THE ISLAND. THE LOCATION IS QUIET AND CONVENIENT AND THIS MAKES THE COTTAGE A GREAT VACATION VALUE.
