About this property

Cozy, Quiet, 1.8 Miles From Sunset Beach! WiFi, Cable, Pets OK!

Enjoy a few relaxing days, weeks, or more!

Our home is an 1,100 square foot residence located on the mainland in Shoreline Woods, a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with great oak trees and a winding waterway that runs throughout the area. It is a great place to walk or bike ride, especially in the early mornings and evenings. We offer a comfortable two-bedroom, two-bath home, surrounded by trees and beautiful landscaping. The home is 1.8 miles from Sunset Beach.

The home is fully stocked with everything needed to feel at home. To keep costs to you down however, we do not have linen or cleaning services, so we request you leave the property ready for the next guest. The kitchen is fully stocked, and we do provide bath towels, beach towels and bed linens, but you must launder all prior to your departure. You may opt to bring your own linens as this saves time upon departure. Guests are asked to clean the home so it is ready for the next guest. This may not be appealing for folks wanting to stay for 2-3 nights as cleaning does take time!

This is a family owned second home that we would enjoy sharing with you! (We are not affiliated with any rental agency other than VRBO.) This beautiful brick home features lovely landscaping and natural garden areas, and is situated on a quiet corner lot with partial views of the intracoastal waterway! This home is in a great neighborhood location with a short drive to the Beach! Our 2-bedroom home sleeps four (2 couples, or family of 4) comfortably. (Please, no more than 4 human guests!)
(We block out one day between guests, and are continuing with the cleaning requirements we began when Covid-19 started.)

Sunset Beach is a small, ocean-side town on the southernmost tip of NC, partially on the mainland and part on the barrier island. Until a few years ago, this island was accessible only by a one-lane barge bridge, but a causeway has now replaced this resulting in easier access. The old barge bridge is now a museum beneath the causeway.

If you are seeking a quiet, peaceful place to visit, Sunset Beach is the spot, having one of North Carolina’s most beautiful and well-preserved beaches! The barrier island is both a turtle sanctuary for the endangered loggerhead turtles, and Bird Island is a protected part of the North Carolina Coastal Reserve, including nearly 1,500 acres of marsh, intertidal flats and, of course, the Atlantic Ocean beach! Visit the Kindred Spirit Mailbox while you are there!

From the 40th Street boardwalk, it is a gorgeous 2-mile walk to the Little River Inlet in South Carolina. Whether walking, jogging or biking, beach-goers may see many species of shoreline plant and animal life and seashells. And if you like seclusion, it is largely deserted during the winter months.

Accommodations include -- in the master bedroom, a bay window with a double (full-sized) bed, ceiling fan and private bath; the second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, ceiling fan, and access to the main bath which contains a washing machine and dryer. The living area has a new sofa, love seat, covered leather recliner, a dining table with 4 chairs, ceiling fan and views of intracoastal canal from the front windows and open porch off the living room. There is a flat-screen smart TV in the living area. (For those with small children, we do have a glass dining table and a glass coffee table.) We have cable TV and Wi-Fi. The kitchen has a skylight, and a small bay window over the sink. In the fall through spring (outside temperature permitting), you can relax on the large, screened-in porch, complete with couch, tables, chairs, light and ceiling fan. The porch has a vinyl window system, each window with 4 movable vinyl panels, allowing you to create your own indoor-outdoor atmosphere! There is a single carport located away from the house that contains a grill. The garage has beach umbrellas, coolers, beach chairs, and a couple of boogie boards for use at the beach. There are also 2 bicycles, a 10-speed and an adult trike, but these are for use in the neighborhood only. There are bike rentals (Julies Rentals) for the beach on the island. You will need to provide your own helmets.

House-trained pets are welcome, but we would like to know if you plan to bring your fur baby, as we have an additional pet addendum to be filled out. An additional, refundable pet fee will be charged ($350), which I will refund provided there are no pet damages.

This is a non-smoking home, inside and out!

Guests must be over 25 years old to rent!

To gain access to the beach, there is free parking on Main Street with beach boardwalk access each block. There is also a free city parking lot close to the pier, but the pier charges to use their lot. It is permissible to parallel park on North Shore Drive as well.

Guests may not come into our home the same day another guest leaves; we are require 24 hours between guests.

The grocery store is about 1 mile away from the house.

Guests are required to return a signed rental agreement (and pet addendum if a pet is brought) prior to entry.

RATES:
Summer: for May 1 through September 30, 2024, the weekly rate is $875.00 ($125/night) and the monthly rate, is $3,500.00.
Winter: for October 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025 the weekly $700.00 ($100/night) and monthly rates are $2,500.00, but can be negotiable; guests will have to ask owner about extended stays and pricing.

Great getaway
This property was exactly as described. My husband and I wanted to get away for Thanksgiving this year, and this place was great for us. It is in a very nice residential neighborhood and only a short drive to many things to do. I felt very safe to walk our dogs all hours of day/night. The neighbors were friendly. The owner was very responsive to texts and emails. We would definitely stay here again.

Well-located house just off Sunset Beach island.
Very nice owner provided us with lots of flexibility and very easy communication. Although the owner had a local rep available, we never had to call them. There is a waterfront park roughly half a mile away, and this is located right next to a great fresh seafood market. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The house is about a 5-minute drive from the beach. We went in the off-season, so parking was easy every day, though the weekends were far busier. The house was well-appointed, and everything worked. Plenty of hot water and the A/C easily kept up with the heat. Sunset Beach is one of the beaches that is growing on the seaward side. Beachfront cottages are probably 100 yards from the beach itself since sand is continuously being deposited on the beach rather than being eroded as is the case with some other beaches. The beach is very wide and the sand is natural and fine (unlike some beaches where the "sand" is dredged up just offshore and then pumped onto the beach -- the resulting beach is full of shell shards. Sunset Beach is like beaches of my childhood -- all natural and nice. This owner is kind and thoughtful, and we really appreciated the welcome feeling we felt throughout our stay. Thank you for that, Karen.

Buyer beware
This house is close to beach and all amenities however it is in need of a deep clean. Upon our arrival the floors were filthy, covered in sand. The house rules are no shoes in the house so the filth stuck to your feet. We also came across several dead and live cockroaches. The owner does disclose that tenants must clean prior to leaving but apparently this doesn’t happen and the home had not been deep cleaned in some time. It is also disclosed that if you use the last of any item in the house you have to replace it. Well if the people before you don’t replace anything you will be without many items. We had to clean the home prior to our stay, after our stay and had to replace numerous items. So between shopping and cleaning it really cut into our weekend. Unfortunately we would not stay here again.

Wonderful Sunset Beach Home
We enjoyed our stay at Cozy and Quiet! Pretty two bedroom house that is roomy! Everything was well maintained with updates. Karen provides all you need in the house regarding supplies, towels, sheets, etc. The house is extremely well organized from the lovely kitchen to the bathrooms and also beach supplies in the garage. The kitchen items are nice quality and the dishes provide a nice beach look. We would enjoy staying there again! And, Karen always responded to questions, etc. in a timely manner. Cozy, Quiet IS just that. So glad she allows dogs!

Enjoyed my stay
Nice, well-maintained house on quiet street. I had a relaxing stay. I was visiting friends with first-row rental on Sunset Beach so was able to park at their place and the short drive was very convenient. The owner is very good with communication. There is a "where to find things" list at the back of the information notebook on the desk that was handy. The kitchen is well equipped with dinnerware, utensils, and cookware to handle a fairly large group. There is also beach gear if you need it, but I brought mine. If you are doing your own post-visit cleanup and not hiring a service, you will find pretty much everything you need there. Saves you from having to buy it. I did the cleanup myself for my 5-day stay, which took a while. But if you stay a week or more and have the budget, I recommend hiring a service. The owner posts signs/notes that basically give you her preferences for taking care of the house. Some may find this intrusive, but the recommendations are in line with how I would want my own house treated by guests. I found the check-out list to be useful. I would highly recommend this rental.

Nice place, lots of guidelines
Overall a very cute house stocked with everything you need. Communication with the property owner was seamless and check-in was very easy. Location is nice and very close to Sunset Beach and the pier, market, etc. The house is family friendly, but better suited for kids over 5 in my opinion - there are a lot of glass tables/accessories. The guidelines/owner's preferences were clear but slightly excessive, it felt a bit like there was a rule for everything we touched and that detracted from feeling like we were "home away from home," especially not being able to keep the house at temperatures we're used to in the summer time made it hard to sleep. Would recommend for couples looking for convenience or families with older kids.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

After spending numerous summers (and other times of the year) in Sunset Beach with some friends, we decided we would like year-round access to this quiet area of the coast!

What makes this property unique

This home is beautifully landscaped, with a semi-circle drive and walk-ways through the front. The large porch is a great place for morning coffee or to sit and read a book when not at the beach.
