Dawg-gone Perfect. Located on the quiet pristine island of Sunset Beach, NC

Enjoyed our week as always at our favorite beach!

Great location and the house was plenty for what we needed for the week. Easy walk to the beach everyday. Rooms were spacious and bathrooms were well stocked. The kitchen had all the things needed to cook and prep any meals. Ice maker was slow, so if you were like us and packing a cooler either go to one of the 1stores and get ice trays or just grab a few bags of ice.

Beautiful place. Mr. Cowles beach house is cozy and provides all the comforts to enjoy a restful week at Sunset.

Overall, the house is okay, but in need of maintenance and upgrades. Pros:-Good-sized dining table.-Plenty of seating in the living room and on the front porch.-Screened-in porch.-Great location, away from the island's main entrance.Cons:-Broken dishwasher (top rack didn’t clean, bottom rack slid out every time the door was down).-Broken back door blinds, which the property contact (owner's sister) insisted her cleaning person told her it wasn't broken before our arrival. We only discovered it was broken because we were trying to lower them, which she also questioned us about, because apparently it should have been down. She showed absolutely no trust in what we said as renters.-Worn and stained bed sheets and towels.-Coffee maker still had an old filter and grounds — clearly not cleaned.-Creaky beds (except for the two single beds).-Rusty and very noisy front porch fan.-Exposed nail heads in the outdoor shower and on the porch/balcony and front/back stairs.-We had issues with the outdoor storage locks/keys, and when the property contact finally addressed it, she was dismissive.-Property contact (at least for our experience).This was our 9th time on the island and the 6th rental house, it wasn't the worst, but unfortunately not as nice as it could have been. Owners' photos are accurate to what you'll find, but once settled in, we found everything simply lacked care and upkeep.

Our family had a great time! Great house and great location. We love Sunset Beach.

If you are looking for an affordable way to stay on Sunset Beach without sacrificing comfort you have found the place! Bob’s house provided everything we needed for a week-long stay at a FABULOUS price. The house was easy to access, within walking distance to the beach and far enough away from the pier that people were not sitting on top of you on the beach. I would recommend this house to any family on a budget. The items I’m mentioning below are simply to ensure full transparency as I take these reviews into consideration when renting so I want to provide this to others.Know when booking that this is not a 5-star resort and it’s a beach house that could use some updates.The mattresses were clean and all linens were provided, which is a major plus, but as the mom I had to Goldilocks it and find the bed that was just right. One squeaked so loud when shifting sides the first night that I had to switch rooms. The most comfortable beds in the house were the two single beds which my kids had. The bathrooms could have used updated shower curtains and rings as these were rusted which made me worry at first site. Petty but this is a cheap replacement to ensure things appear clean.Pluses were that the outdoor shower has been completely updated and was amazing.The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. Washer and dryer were nice plus.This house was clean and worth the cost! Bob was easy to work with and the price is right to stay on Subset Beach!

Great location, rooms, amenities, and outdoor patio!Everything was amazing at the Dawg House and we had a great time!

My 85-year-old mother and I stayed here for a week, and my adult children and their partners joined us for part of the week. Later in the week, my 91-year-old aunt came to visit. Not the best place for elderly disabled folks, but great otherwise. The aunt's visit was a surprise.

Really great place for family to gather! Had an excellent vacation despite some rainy/stormy weather. The porches are a great place to enjoy a rainstorm - and we did.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was a great fit for our family of 6 and had everything we needed. Just a short walk to the beautiful beach. We loved this quiet and relaxing neighborhood. I enjoyed drinking my coffee on the deck in the rocking chair.

Excellent. Luv Sunset Beach!

Overall, we had a good vacation. Thank you.

Just had a wonderful stay at Sunset Beach. Bob’s house was clean and comfortable. The whole family enjoyed it.

Easy access to the beach. The house was clean and spacious and the property manager was very responsive when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the house. Tip: leave one key in the lockbox so you don’t get locked out. ;)

Nice house and quite neighborhood. Loved the flat beaches.

Comfortable beds. Towels provided. Roomy living area with ample seating.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Dawg House! The location is great, the neighborhood is quiet, the house is exactly as described, and the kitchen is fully equipped. We walked to the beach every day. Just a really great trip!

We loved our stay! The house was comfortable and had all the essentials. Short walk to the beach! We will be back!

Beautiful home - very clean and up to date. Kitchen well-equipped and gorgeous. Love the screened in porch. Bedrooms are large - bedding is comfortable. Lots of room for kids to play. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
