I have been coming to Sunset Beach on family vacations since 1984, and we've tried many houses over the years. We love the bay front, and this house is a perfect example of why!
This property is exactly as advertised. It is in a perfect location on the narrow end of the island. You get to enjoy the views over the bay from the house, yet you are only about 200 yards from the beach.
On the bay, we enjoyed watching the fiddler crabs digging their holes at low tide, and as the tide was coming up we were able to watch the larger blue crabs scavenging too. We used blood worms to catch a handful of spot off the dock, which were the first fish my kids had ever caught! We had Mr. Beach Rentals deliver a doube kayak for us to explore the bay and marsh areas (beware the tides if you aren't familiar with kayaking in tidal waters).
We had 4 generations of my wife's family staying together in the house. Plenty of space for 4 sets of adults in the bedrooms, and then 3 kids in the game room area. The beds were comfy enough that I heard no complaints all week. The kitchen is well stocked, and the supply of initial supplies was helpful.
The porch area was perfect for us to enjoy some meals together outside. This is one of the best outdoor seating areas I've seen. The screened in porch is great during high bug times, but we did NOT have any bugs while sitting out on the dock or porch. The outdoor shower is in fantastic condition with plenty of space to help my kids shower too.
