We had a wonderful family vacation, the house is beautiful and well maintained. The beach supplies Rich provided came in handy, everything we needed was easily accessible. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

The house was perfect for our needs. We really enjoyed the screened in porch. We had all of our meals there. It was really pleasant looking out on to the canal. The ocean was a short five minute walk away. We enjoyed walking the beach on a daily basis. We golfed frequently. Lots of golf courses close by. We couldn’t have chosen a better location.

THE WEATHER WASN'T ALWAYS COOPERATIVE; BUT, THE HOUSE MADE IT TOLERABLE. THE KIDS (3, 6 & 9) COULD WATCH THEIR SHOWS IN THE LOFT, IF THE ADULTS WANTED TO WATCH SOMETHING ELSE (FOOTBALL & BASKETBALL!). THE KITCHEN WAS WELL EQUIPPED AND STOCKED WITH MANY OF THE SPICES/CONDIMENTS WE NEEDED TO PREPARE OUR THANKSGIVING FEAST. ACCESS TO THE BEACH WAS CLOSE. HAD THE WEATHER PERMITTED, WE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO MAKE USE OF THE KAYAKS. THE KIDS WERE ABLE (WITH DAD'S HELP) TO CATCH SEVERAL SMALL FISH (NO KEEPERS!). WE WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER RETURNING IN THE FUTURE.

We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Beach. Loved having access to the canal and enjoyed the kayaks that were provided! We also had a short walk to the beach. The home was very clean, and we had everything we needed during our stay. We would stay here again and appreciate the communication with the homeowners and their flexibility with us.

This a very clean and cozy house. It is a short walk to the beach so accessing the beach was easy. The house is on the canals and has two kayaks that were available to guests. We really enjoyed kayaking on the as a family. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Decent overall experience. Dock is nice, place was pretty clean. There was some dog hair in places outside on the porch. If you have small children the upstairs (and stairs) can be difficult. We had a 1 year old there and the upstairs requires constant attention due to the couch being backed up to the railing and the stairs being steep with a hard curve. Also the rails are wide enough a kid can squeeze through. Just need to keep an eye on the kids 100% of the time if they are upstairs. Otherwise the place was nice and comfortable and I’d recommend people stay here. The kids liked the bunk beds. Rich communicated well.

We had a wonderful time, thank you for having us!! There was endless things to do for everyone- the kayaks were great to explore into the canal, lots of toys around, and a nice layout. The dock/stairs/walkway were in excellent condition and the entire property appeared well cared for so low stress for kiddos. Every appliance and utility worked excellent which is extra important when you’re staying in a more remote beach where folks are cooking in, etc. They thought of everything here- you’ll want for nothing while staying!
The walk to the beach is very manageable and this beach is FABULOUS. My mom and I explored from one end of the island to the other (literally) on foot so this central location was great. Sunset beach is beautiful, family friendly, and appealing for those who just love exploring the outdoors and natural beauty of a non-commercialized beach.

Calming Getaway
The space was perfect for my family to come have a nice relaxing getaway at the beach! We were a short walk to the beach and from Sunset Slush! The destruction of the home was spot on. The second floor deck was perfect for slow mornings with coffee and books while the screened in porch facing the canal was exactly what afternoons called for. The living room was designed for conversation which we loved! Rich was very responsive and helped with all of needs. We will definitely be back!

This home is nicely equipped with updated appliances, very clean and 2 blocks from the beach. Driveway can hold many cars and in a quiet neighborhood. We would rent again or refer friends for any future travel!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this canal home on Sunset Beach! An extended getaway was just what our family needed. The home is perfectly sized for a family of 6 adults + a newborn.
The owner was very quick to reply to every question we had and accommodating to our requests. Fortunately most every detail was covered in the VRBO description.
We have great cooks in the family, so all meals were prepared at the house and eaten on the delightful screened in porch. The kitchen was very well appointed with everything the cooks needed.
This home is also well appointed with the all important beach cart for rolling chairs, umbrella, and sand toys (all supplied) to the shore. Just add your own cooler full of icy beverages and you will be set for a day of fun in the sun.
One one the reasons we selected this property was because our four age 30-somethings were excited to try the two supplied double kayaks in the sound marshes. But instead we were able to put in our 13’ jon boat at a nearby public boat launch. This allowed us to explore all up/down the ICW - especially the uninhabited Bird Island. We saw dolphins swimming in the ICW and along the shoreline. Two afternoons we spied a bobcat in the dunes chasing rabbits.
The new floating dock with Trex decking was a HUGE plus! We sat on it for fishing and crabbing every day - especially on windy days when the beach was less inviting. No worries about getting splinters on this dock! Also it was just the right size for our little boat to tie up.
By far a favorite evening spot for everyone was the rooftop deck with its excellent sunset views. When all the homes on the canal turned off their outside lights, we could see literally hundreds of stars. It was stunning!
If we had to name one thing that could have been improved, it would be the construction noise levels - which cannot be controlled by the homeowner. The salt air wears and tears on homes, so you should always anticipate that there WILL be construction going on at beach. Just go with the flow, head out to the waves, and don’t allow construction noise affect your perfect vacation at Sunset Beach!
