The Island/beach:
o Sunset is usually ultra quiet
o Bring a good book, walking shoes and beach chairs
o The beach is very wide and is great for walking.
o The Ends of the beach are great places for treasure hunting, we find all sorts of animals and shells. Plan for a low or falling tide for the best results
o The Jetty is about 2 miles from the house on the far west end. It is a fun walk (that’s the only way to get there) and many times we find starfish, sand dollars. You can walk around the jetty and join the boaters picnicking and partying during pretty weather. Along the way watch for a mailbox in the dunes called “Kindred Spirit”. Plan to sit and enjoy the notes left by others or leave your thoughts on one of the notebooks you will find there.
o At the East end- very close to us, the treasure hunting is fun- It looks like you could walk to Ocean Isle but beware, the tide comes in fast and is very strong.
o Bikes are a good activity and can be rented on the island.
o The pier has a nominal cost but is fun to check out the fishermen and their catch.
o Across the bridge Oyster Bay golf course has several roadside ponds and lakes. Drive slowly or pull over to photograph some large alligators basking in the sun.
o There is a small grocery store on the island- limited selection, higher prices – charming and lots of fun!
o Food Lion is just across the bridge with Lowe’s close also
o Ocean Isle is about 10 minutes away
o Calabash is about 10 minutes away
o North Myrtle about 20 minutes away
o Just relax and have fun----
o You need to go to the west end of the beach road to see the Sunset one evening it is breath taking!
We had such a wonderful getaway. The house was perfect for us and had everything we needed/wanted. The walk to the beach was amazing and my favorite part!
A snails pace was perfect for our family vacation! The location was ideal as we had friends on the same street. The house was fully equipped with pretty much everything you’d need for a perfect home away from home stay. Great communication with the host too. We’d stay again for sure!!
Our family of 6 had a great stay! The walk to the beach was easy even for our 3 year old, and the included wagon and toys made him one happy guy! Our teens loved the loft and included games, and everyone loved the outdoor shower. The house was clean and had many of the items we needed. We will definitely look to stay here again!
Overall, we liked this property. It was clean and located very near the beach. It was not communicated that the property had no linens until receiving the check in information. This was a challenge via plane from out of state. Other than that, liked the house!
The property was very clean.. well equipped.. and was close to the beach. Had an amazing time. Just make sure you have toilet paper and paper towels.. they only provide 1 extra roll.
We rate Snail’s Pace as the Best House to rent. We would not consider any other place. It has everything that we want. Our family hopes to rent again next year.
This is a great location for a family vacation! It is a short walk to the beach and there is a beach wagon on-site to tote all the necessities. The home is spacious and well equipped! Thank you for allowing us to stay, can’t wait to return!
Very nice and clean property to stay at. It was a short walking distance from the beach and my family enjoyed the stay. The only thing that could’ve been better is the air conditioning system.
This was our first time visiting Sunset Beach and we really enjoyed it! One of the best parts of this house was the screened in porch! We spent every evening there. It’s a short walk to the beach which is super nice. The outside shower was also a huge plus! 7 adults and a one year old fit comfortably here!
We loved our stay at Snails Pace!
