Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Found the guest book and interested in the prior name of the Sunset Lodge. Great time for our family, first time at the Lodge and first time with Tidelife rentals...although we have vacationed on PI for over 40 years.The house was a perfect size. Loved the porches, access to the beach and creek with limited stairs. Underneath great, too although a few available, stackable plastic chairs would be good. Kitchen small, but we knew this and made it work. (4 - adults, 3 children, and nummerous family members visiting) Stocked well with the exception of crab tongs (crabbing was very good). We donated a pair to the drawer after we had our first crab pinch EVER! Reserved for next year. Would like 1 more twin bed/daybed, but I don't know where it could be located. Thank you Tidelands.p.s. I could live on your office porch and inside. Silly video, but did make me laugh and it was informative.

We found Sunset Lodge and fell in love. We’ve stayed here through multiple owners and rental companies and will keep coming backS it’s quaint, it’s cozy and it’s location is absolutely perfect . With the creek in your front yard and the beach for your back yard, you never get bored and there is beauty all around.

We love the location, rockers on the porch, beds made, linens, ready to walk in and enjoy! There were a couple minor things but the manager, Suzanne,responded promptly, as always, and took care of it! We love Suzanne's hospitality and calmness in any situation; especially during all the Covid issues. We feel this is very important when we are renting. We will definitely rent again!

Just this side of heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our weekend at Sunset Lodge was a dream! This house has a special place in our hearts, but it’s been many years since we’ve returned. The updates are lovely... fresh paint and beautifully redone kitchen. We remember the days before this house had air conditioning, so that was of course wonderful. LThe porches are just heavenly— nothing compares to watching the sun rise over the ocean and set over the creek. Our little ones had a blast playing under the house during the heat of the day— no need for beach tents when your house is right there. I took every shower in the downstairs shower under the house. Fishing was plentiful. Walks to the point were an after dinner highlight. The house’s location is prime. How blessed we feel to fall in love with Pawleys again! Emma was so helpful, and I’m so grateful for her help! We’ll be back!

Sunset Lodge

We had a nice two weeks at Sunset Lodge. The cottage is in a great location, about 10 houses down from the south end of the developed part of the island. There is another ¼ to ½ mile of beautiful, undeveloped beach on the south end. The views from both the east and west (front and back) sides of the cottage are gorgeous—the ocean to the east and the creek to the west. There are screened in porches with dining tables on both sides. There is a nice dock on the creek, plus a small beach that makes it easy for launching a kayak. The living area of the cottage is very comfortable, plus there is a nice big dining table for doing large jigsaw puzzles (with room left over for eating, if needed). The kitchen is well equipped—although it could benefit from a new skillet. The beds are also very comfortable. There were just the two of us staying there. The cottage could fairly easily accommodate another couple; but it would be pretty cozy with more people staying, despite the four bedrooms. There are two bathrooms (each with a single sink). Also, there are closets in only two of the bedrooms, and neither of them has much space for hanging clothes, as they are used for storage of odds and ends (Christmas decorations, an extra lamp, an empty box for the coffee maker, etc.). There are only three comfortable (i.e., with cushions) rocking chairs in the screened-in porch that faces the ocean—plenty for just the two of us, but obviously not enough if more than one couple wants to sit on the porch at the same time. The furniture on the outdoor decks (front and back) is a hodgepodge of old and worn wooden and plastic chairs. (One of the plastic chairs actually has a broken slat and should probably be removed.) Please note that in some cases, the photos on VRBO are outdated—the porch no longer has the pictured wicker armchairs, nor the hammock. (The hammock is now located under the house, which seems an odd place for relaxing--no view or sea breeze, and near the air conditioning unit.) Also, the grill in the photos on VRBO is not normally provided, although when asked, TideLife did provide us with one. (Thanks!) Many of these issues are things that could be easily fixed. in sum, we would rent Sunset again.
