It’s all there

Amazing house. We stayed about 4 years ago and even though it was nice then, the recent remodel made it SO much better. Everything is new and beautifully decorated. Location is quiet yet close to a public beach access that is uncrowded. Never had trouble finding parking. Pool is amazing especially in an area where many houses don’t have one. Property manager/owner is very nice and very responsive. Had a fabulous week! Perfect house for 6 people and could have definitely fit more + it didn’t break the bank either.

Short walk to the sound side for beautiful sunsets, very short drive to parking for beach and the private salt water pool is wonderful! They have everything you could possibly need stocked in the kitchen and the house is just beautiful. We enjoyed our time at the Sunsetter!

Wonderful Family Vacation!

We recently stayed at the Sunsetter the week of August 12, 2023 and had a wonderful family vacation. We all enjoyed the pool, especially my teenage son and his friend. Very quiet neighborhood and well appointed house. Easy check in and out and the owners were very quick to response to questions. Only disappointment was the outside shower was out of service, but we easily used the hose to rinse off after the beach. Would definitely stay again!

Quiet, comfortable, easy, clean, well-stocked home - great for multi-generational groups!

We had a tremendous time staying at the Sunsetter! Our group included me, my spouse, young children, and my parents. The booking, advance communication, and check-in were all seamless. Ann and John are pros at all of this and have a system in place that allows for great communication and trust-building. We loved the location, the quiet neighborhood feels like locals or owners live there, and we didn’t hear cars, car doors slamming, or loud voices and music late at night. The pool area is fabulous! We picked the home because of the pool and it didn’t disappoint! The 1st floor/downstairs master bedroom/efficiency apartment blew our minds! We didn’t expect it to be such a comfortable living space with a fridge/kitchen area, bathroom, dining area, small living room, and king size bed. My parents were thrilled in the space and also enjoyed being able to take a break from their grandkids! The main level is technically the 2nd floor and is well laid out, equipped, clean, and comfortable. We loved the family photos and other personal touches that clearly communicate a sense of family, beach history, and kindness. We didn’t use the eat-in kitchen space because the high-top dining table was easy and offered more space for the 6 of us to enjoy meals. The kitchen has just about everything you need during a vacation, I was so impressed by how well stocked it is with pots & pans, utensils, and dishware. We also were super appreciative to have cleaning supplies, and extra trash bags, dish soap, and dishwasher detergent. So many rentals don’t provide any of that stuff and have limited or no pots & pans, we were thrilled to find so much provided by the hosts. The 3rd floor has a bedroom with twin beds, a Jack & Jill bathroom, and a master suite with a large and comfortable sitting room. Our young daughters enjoyed the room with twin beds and we liked being so close to them and accessible when they woke up during the night. Ann and John were lovely to communicate with. They were responsive, accommodating, and helpful. There are helpful notes throughout the house with reminders which made our stay easy and worry free. Ann and John have thought of everything possible to make guests comfortable. They treat their guests with value and kindness, you can’t find better hosts or a better beach house for a vacation in OBX!

The house is in a residential neighborhood. It is a close walk to the sound to watch the Sunsets.

The house was fine. The saltwater pool was the best feature :) The traffic getting in and out in Kill Devil Hills was a little tricky due to needing to get onto the main road. It is a 10 minute walk to the Sound to watch the nightly Sunsets. This is a good place to stay with family members.

Vacation in the Sunsetter

The property is exactly as listed. The owners are very responsive, even notifying us of early occupancy. We had 4 adults and 4 teens/young adults in our party. The house is spacious and easily accommodates 8 guests. Our friends stayed in the lower level, private unit, which has a king size bed, microwave, full size refrigerator and a washer/dryer. There is no stove so they had to come upstairs to cook (not a problem for us). The kitchen is generously stocked with pots, pans, plates., silverware, etc. The pool is SO nice. The solar cover maintains warm 85 degree temp. The neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance of the bay. We chose to drive to the Hayman Beach access due to the very busy 4 lane highway that separates the house from the beach. We had a great week and would recommend this house.

Outer Banks family vacation

We had a great time on vacation. The pool was amazing! We enjoyed walking to the bay side for sunsets and driving to the ocean side for sunrises. The bay side has walking path to a public pier to walk out over the water. The beach is an easy walking distance but you must cross a 4 lane highway so we drove to Hayman Beach Access with a nice parking area and lifeguard on duty at beach. The house worked well for our family of 8.

Perfect for a family get-together

The house was just as advertised. The kitchen was well equipped. We were a little surprised that the ground floor master suite could only be accessed by going down the outside stairs and reentering a separately keyed door, but it worked fine. The owners were very communicative and responsive. Would stay here again if we visit the area again.

Those were the days…..

John was extremely accommodating & easy to work with. Whoever he is paying to maintain the property he needs to review. We stayed in the downstairs apartment and no one ever seemed to move furniture and cleaned behind items. My wife cleaned the dirty headboard of the bed & removed dead ants. A blanket we folded had some nasty stains, and we replaced the plunger downstairs as the existing one was dry rotted. We did not know we didn’t need beach chairs as they were available at the residence. Access to the beach was fabulous and location relative to restaurants was also very good. John and Ann Marie are excellent hosts. The pool had just been cleaned and was the hit of the week with my entire family. Grocery shopping is also convenient. We were delighted to find out the location was not further south due to developers ruining the beaches there with gigantic buildings and really not many places to dine for those thousands of owners and renters. All was well, with many great memories persevered on numerous cellphones of my family. Thanks John! Bill

Good for all ages

The property is in a quiet neighborhood that while walkable for most was a bit too far for the 4yo in our group so we ended up buying a wagon for him to ride in which was perfect. The furnishings are casual which was great with 4 kids. Having the pool was a huge plus. The listing states that the bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed but it's really a double/full which while it didn't matter to us might to another group. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and the property also has as beach chairs, a rolling cooler and an assortment of books, puzzles and outdoor games for guest use.

About the host

Hosted by John Harris

Host profile image
One important note. John & Ann Marie, owners, are the hosts.
Our family photo taken Memorial Day, May 26th. 2014.
We purchased the beach house and outgrew it as the family grew. We added the first floor which was previously under house parking. This made the large first floor Master Suite with a full bath that everyone raves about today. Since then we have updated all 3 floors AND ADDED THE SALTWATER POOL. Most recently we had the large 3rd. floor tile shower added and did away with the older tub. We got rid of the screened porch & added a private dining area which gives the adults a quiet dining experience if they so desire. We enjoy the ongoing updates to keep The Sunsetter the perfect vacation spot.
The 1st. Floor Master Suite Home Theater added Fall of 2014. Bring your Pop Corn for the microwave.
Family is important to us so one week a summer we also come to The Sunsetter for our family reunion every year.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I live in Hampton, Va. which is a short 98 mile drive to OBX and have always loved The Outer Banks. Growing up in Hampton there was always a big magnetic pull to The Outer Banks. Nothing quite like it. Started going in High school and spending the nights in a tent. Lots were selling for $600. at the time. Now, more people have that same attraction & many have made the move either for a second home or retirement. Of course the beach was our major draw all year & it still is. Now its even more than that with friends and family, cookouts. Trips to Ocracoke and the free NC ferry system, Surf fishing is great especially in the off season.You must ride down to Oregon Inlet Fishing Center to see the offshore boats come into the docks at 4:30 in the afternoon where they show off the daily catches.(Leave about 4:00). The lifestyle is really laid back. The weather is great all year around with mild winters.The main reason is that the warm gulf stream runs so close. You can compare the weather to Jacksonville, Florida.
When we need to get away from our very hectic lives in the city, The Sunsetter is the answer.
The Sunsetter offers more. WI FI, great Direct TV on 2 BIG Screens!
Extras in the bath rooms, dining areas & kitchens. This is not a 'bare bones' typical rental. Our VIPS just expect more.

What makes this property unique

Our family always head for the beach where we meet up with friends & the local neighbors, no matter what time of year!!! We enjoy walking to Chili Peppers for dinner and a great bar, this tends to be a night spot that the locals like. Other great dining spots are Lafogatas (Mexcian, family & cheap), The Black Pelican, great night spot for dining and a great bar for family & friends. Awful Arthur's (great night spot with big, big bars up & down, family & friends ( the seafood is great).
Walking to the KDH free pier (kids love to go crabbing on the pier.
Want to relax at The Sunsetter? Fix your favorite beverage and sit upstairs on the deck to watch the sunsets. The free boat ramp is great for boaters. Our cookouts are always fun.
If you do like to cook out, we do have an excellent stainless grill with two propane tanks, many places have rusted iron grills stuck out in the sand that you need to get charcoal & put foil on, whew! Tried that once and could not get the grill going, the steaks were done at midnight! Forget that deal.
The Sunsetter can do families of 8 max. Many times 2 families with a max total of 8 come. Many extended families with aunts, uncles, nephews etc. come for spring, summer & fall with up to 8 max..
