The owner of the home is very responsive and helpful. This house is absolutely gorgeous and has everything that you could need. We had a few questions during our stay and the owner was very responsive via the app.
The home is very close to the beach and a good location overall. My kids and whole family enjoyed the stay! Definitely recommend this house.
We absolutely loved this house. It was my son’s birthday over Easter weekend and this house was amazing. The boys had a blast at this property. The location to beach, hot tub, bunk room, fire pit, yard games all made their weekend. The downstairs area is amazing to hang out underneath. The house itself is very cozy. A/C was cold and rooms were very comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again!
We enjoyed a great holiday weekend at Sunset Paradise beach house! The hosts have provided some nice touches and provisions that are sometimes lacking in house rentals, such as comfortable beds, pillows and nice linens and towels, that were much appreciated! The projector screen was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The house needs a little TLC, but overall a great stay!!!
The property was amazing with a beautiful view of the ocean and just 3 houses away from the beach! It perfectly accommodated my family and had plenty of games for everyone to play. Great place for kids and baby friendly. One thing I will note though is that there were some issues and hiccups with the property after we checked in that was mostly due to the previous guests but Will and the management team were very quick to respond to our requests and had people out fixing all of the issues extremely fast! One of the best communications with a property management team and it made the stay and process enjoyable! We will definitely be back again soon!!!
Overall the stay was comfy. All though the only down side for us was the fencing. In the pictures it looked like the whole downstairs was fenced in but was not. The first day we tried to take out our boxer he took off running to next yard. Other houses we’ve rented had the whole downstairs fenced in. But once we got the dogs in the gates area they were ok. There were a few minor things that needed fixing for example lights in kitchen went out so was dark when we were in kitchen. The communication was great with contact. Golf cart was a plus along with grill and projector. They all worked great. Thanks again !😊
So, to start upon arrival house needs a good deep cleaning (had to sweep when arrived and there was long white dog hair everywhere, assuming owners dog because it was under couches and beds lol not an issue to me though because I don’t mind pets and appreciated being able to bring my littles ). Could use a little TLC (window screen broken, needs updated painting everywhere, and mold in upstairs bathtub but it was still beautiful overall. Couldn’t get upstairs tv to work it had a remote to a fire stick tv but there was only a directv box attached - messaged in Vrbo and they said to look downstairs where projector was for the fire stick but couldn’t even locate that so I just let it go because they did mention previous guests could have taken it. Then we lost power one night for about 4 hours and the smoke detector started going off but it wasn’t an issue at all because we got to sit outside and watch fireworks and enjoy the breeze and we also disconnected the smoke detector (they could use new batteries too think) but everything was great, beautiful place, close to the beach, family enjoyed it and appreciated being able to stay there with our pets as well.

Annual Family Summer Beach Trip
I will start with we enjoyed our family beach trip & for the most part the house had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for our family & we enjoyed the downtime for sure! The kitchen was well stocked & the big store just down the road was a great little spot to pick up odds & ends. Any communication needed with the owners was quick, friendly & they were very responsive.
While the keypad didn’t work at checkin, the owners had provided a backup before hand, so we were able to get in without issue. We had booked the place in part to use the golf cart, which wasn't working for our stay. The details were shared on day 2 of the stay & the owners did give us the option to rent one & then be reimbursed to make up for the inconvenience, but after already paying for the stay itself, it just wasn't an option for us. So we decided to walk the short distance to the beach & that worked out fine being it's quite close.
The only recommendations I have, is a deep clean & a good walk through of the home. We found food on the kitchen counters & on a few plates from the previous occupants. Not anything we couldn't wipe down & throw in the dishwasher, but ideally would have been great if we didn't have to. There were several lights burnt out that need replacing & I would recommend some updating to the areas that need attention like the bed in the shell room & the ceiling in the living room where the can lights are coming loose & boards are displaced.
But great owners & we had fun!
Loved the place and amenities. It had everything we needed, the rooms were spacious and comfy beds. Location is great nice view of the beach and surrounding .
Communication with the property owners was excellent. There was more than enough beds to accommodate my family and the property had a perfect view of the ocean. Overall, I would definitely book again.
The property host was very attentive. The house has every amenity that you'll need. There was plenty for our young kids to do including making smores by the outdoor pit. We'll be back.
When the property states “everything you need is on site” trust me it is accurate. The most well stocked place we’ve ever visited from inside the kitchen to the garage that came equipped with beach toys! Thanks for hosting our family for our family beach vacation. The property owners / agents responded very quickly and professionally to every question I had making our overall experience the best.
Not sure where to start. The communication between the property manager was excellent!!! House was very well kept and stocked with everything we needed. I even forgot birthday candles and found some on the junk drawer!!! Plenty of room for all of our family and friends. This house is a 5 star and will be booking again.
Beautiful location with easy beach access. A couple minor hiccups that were quickly resolved thanks to the owners being very prompt and responsive to concerns. A little disappointed with the cleanliness (ie. Floors were dirty upon arrival, dusty/cobwebs/mold in a few areas, old/partially eaten food my toddler found hidden in kitchen cabinets, etc). Overall this property was very nice and easily accommodated two couples and two young children.
This is a beautiful beach house right on a beach access street! When we showed up the golf cart was broken. But one phone call and arrangements were made for a replacement! Just like that the host jumped into action to fix the issue and within the hour we had a replacement cart! We had an amazing stay and will definitely book this house again! Thank you!
We have stayed at many beach houses and this is by far the BEST! We felt at home, comfortable, and relaxed. I couldn't have asked for more.
Quick and accommodating communication from the property managers! Southern hospitality! The beds are comfortable. It has direct beach access. You can see the waves from the balcony. There are toys and games available for the whole family! It definitely felt more than a rental property! We know where we will be staying on our next beach trip!
Book this Paradise, you will not be disappointed!
We’ve stayed in many houses over the years, this one is the best!
I’m not sure where to start. If you have multiple families who prefer their space and privacy, this is the house! 2 masters with full baths. A half bath in the hall for easy restroom access. Another bunk room upstairs with a full bath. 2 bunks downstairs for extra sleeping space. Any and everything you need…..it’s here!!! The golf cart was a HUGE plus. It would’ve cost us a $1000 to rent one for our stay. The outdoor movie screen and bar downstairs was GREAT in the evenings!! All the views are excellent! The beach is right down the road. I will probably think of more to brag on after submitting this review. If you’re think about booking it, do it!!!!!
This home was beautiful and very well equipped. We were six adults, one baby and two toddlers. It was very important that the home was childproofed. Lots of supplies.
A couple of things that could have been better: several lights were out in at least one of the bathrooms; most of the lamps in living area were unplugged and we were not able to find plugs; a bedside lamp in one of the king rooms didn’t have a knob - it had been twisted off I think. These are small things and would be easily fixed. Also only had one bath towel per person for four days.
We would stay here again as it was a beautiful house. Loved the outside yard for our dogs and the lift to get all luggage and groceries upstairs. Also made use of the golf cart. Thank you for letting us stay … we loved it.
The house was perfect for our group. It was a great location with easy access to the beach. There were a few maintenance items that we had to work through that caused more time and energy than we had hoped- before we arrived the elevator and refrigerator had been broken, the house manager tried to rectify those issues by providing a different refrigerator which was fine. Unfortunately, the elevator parts had to be ordered so we weren’t able to use it at all. There were several lightbulbs out that she came and replaced and also had to provide the power cords to the tvs as those weren’t working with the missing cords. We also requested an electrician come because the lights would flicker in all bedrooms. The golf cart also had a broken piece that she had someone come and fix. Having to deal with those items while on vacation was a bit frustrating- especially since the manager admitted to knowledge of several of them prior to our stay. While we liked the house, we would probably not stay again due to the maintenance concerns.
