The townhome is furnished with all of the conveniences of home, including garage with washer and dryer. It is one of only two townhomes in the building.

The unit is dog friendly, and children are welcome but need to be monitored. There is a pet fee of $100 per dog and I'll need to know the number, size and breed of the dog(s) and approve them. RESERVATIONS ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL A SIGNED RENTAL AGREEMENT IS RECEIVED AND COUNTERSIGNED BY OWNER.

[Note: There are three floors of living space above the garage and lots of stairs, so this rental may not be suitable for the elderly or mobility challenged. Also, the condo association limits reservation to not more than 8 (excluding infants) even though the house easily sleeps 10 or more. Please do not inquire if you have more than 8 in your party.] Rates listed are for 6-person occupancy.

Amazing Beach House
Perfect beach house, has everything you could want and more. Setup is a little quirky but that just adds to the charm. Can’t beat walking out your door and onto the beach! Phil was very responsive. Hope to be back!

True Gem!!
This is the second summer that we have stayed at this house on Sunset Beach. As many others have attested, the location of this place is incredible. Our family of 6 really enjoyed spending time together here, whether it was on the back porch overlooking the gulf, in the gulf, in the pool, or simply walking the beach. This place has everything we needed to have a relaxing and enjoyable family vacation! It really is a true gem of natural beauty!

Awesome stay!
This is the third time we've stayed at this property. There simply isn't a better place at this price. Some say the inside can use some updating, but I think it adds to the charm of the property. Also, you're going to (or should!) be spending most of your time at the beach, which is literally steps away. Can't wait to stay here again!

We always go to CA for the beaches (since we live in NV) but lately we have tried out beaches on the east coast, and this one certainly did not disappoint. The house is in a perfect location and literally just steps to the beach, we can't say enough good things, we will DEFINTELY be back!

Rustic, charming, water’s edge beach house
This home is exactly what we were hoping for when we booked our vacation. Phil was a responsive host and answered questions promptly. We were greeted with flowers and a bottle of wine. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. There were plenty of linens and beach towels. The pool was clean and beautiful. We had quiet neighbors. But the highlight is the proximity to the water’s edge, the seashells, and the sunsets. The photos accurately depict the inside and outside of the house. The stairs might be a problem for some guests. The loft bedroom could present a privacy issue for multiple couples. All things considered, this was our idea of a perfect beach vacation and we hope to stay here again.

House was as described with lots of stars; could sleep 8 though 4 of the beds were in lofts with little privacy. In spite of Cockroach in shower and dead rat on back porch, had a nice time with great access to beach.

Beautiful place
We had a great time. I would rate the house a 5 star, but the pool was dirty. The pool guy came but did not take out the needles, so we cleaned them out. The owner was very helpful. The bedrooms had an open concept that lacked privacy, but we liked talking to each other so easily.

We couldn’t have asked for a better location on the beach. The house was great for our family getaway. It’s unique layout wasn’t an issue for us with young kids. The pool needs some updates, but other than that, we had a great experience!

Gorgeous Beach Location
My husband and I, our adult daughters, and our two pets spent a week at this beach house. The townhome was clean, spacious and well stocked with bath and beach towels. The pool table was a great bonus! But the best amenity is the beautiful beachfront location!

Great family home
We absolutely loved this home. We have stayed at many homes and condos on the beach but this one was the best by far! private pool and a step or two from the beach. It needs some updating but most of the time was spent outside anyway.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a lovely house right on the beach. We loved to watch the beautiful sunset each night. The house was neat, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The bottle of wine and flowers left by the owner was greatly appreciated. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Overall we had a wonderful week at the beach.

Relaxing week
We had a great week staying at the property. Everything was as Phil noted, and we had no issues the entire week. The AC kept it cool in the heat of the day, and at night on all levels of the house. It was nice to have a washer and dryer available as well. He had a great stock of beach towels, chairs, and other items for the beach. I would recommend bringing some umbrellas, the sun was intense! Plenty of shells to find along the beach also! We had a couple days of very calm water, where you could go out in the water to the sandbar, and search for shells also. We spotted dolphins a couple days as well. Caddy’s was a short walk to grab some food, and the grocery is less than a mile away, when we decided to cook. The traffic in the area was very reasonable, much less than what I was expecting during a peak week of the season. We visited Sea Dog Brewing, Caddy’s, Shells, and got carry out from Michael and Vito’s Pizzeria, and Sea Hag’s. We walked the beach every day, listened to the ocean, and generally did a lot of relaxing at the condo. We had a great time!

It was hard to leave that view behind. The house perfectly located on Sunset beach. The beach was not crowded and had amazing weather the whole time. You can walk the beach see all the beautiful shells or walk to caddy's for snack and beverage. The house was clean upon arrival and check in was a breeze, the owner made it super simple. The pool and pool table was a high light for the kids, they used them both for hours on end. The house is dated some compared to other properties we have stayed at in the area but was a none issue. The only thing was awkward about the property is the layout of the bedrooms. We were able to view the house that is the rental next door and the space was better utilized. I would recommend this place to any family who wants the convenience of being right on the beach in a safe neighborhood.

Excellent location with the beach just steps away! Kitchen was adequately stocked with necessary items for cooking meals. We had 8 folks in the residence and the only downside was the sleeping arrangements with lack of privacy for adult guests due to the loft arrangements.
