This house is very close to the town, where you can rent kayaks and bikes and walk to the boardwalk and see the sun drowning in the water.

You can check the few shops that are in town, there you can buy souvenirs and ice cream.

Everyone asks us how close the beach from the house is, well is as closest as it can be, the boardwalk that brings you to the beach is next to our house .

As you can see in our amenities, we provide a long list of things to love your time inside and outside the house, from kitchen supplies to beach chairs and beach toys. You are welcome to use them.

Remember this is a family house so please take care of the stuff. We try to update our house supplies and furniture very often to offer you always the best of the best.

Unfortunately, for the pet lovers, we do not accept them, not because we don’t love them, but to keep the house clean for the next guests. Also, we are smoke-free.

At the end and before every staying, a professional cleaner comes to clean and disinfect the whole house and stocking the house for the next guests.

Even though we, the owners, are not in Sunset Beach, we are one call, text, or email away for any assistant you need and if you need assistance, we have local people ready to help.

    Nice house and convenient to beach. Downstairs bedroom didn’t have adequate heat and was uncomfortable. Check-in was easy and we were able to contact owners with questions. Probably a better rental for summer. Great location.

    Before you jump to conclusions and think this is a negative review - it’s not, we had a GREAT time, and it really is an excellent house and location, however there are a few things to bear in mind…It’s not clear from the listing that the room with the bunk beds is on the ground floor and not accessible from inside the house.While this house is near the pier, it’s also near the pier, which means ALL of the day-trip traffic to the beach will result in high density of crowds. Bear this in mind.The pictures on the listing are a little out of date - the owners have done some noticeable upgrades and touch-up’s and it looks much nicer than some of the older photos show!If you plan to use a Neso or similar style canopy - forget it - you’re gonna have to walk 3 rows down to be able to use it. Shibumi’s are fine, as are regular umbrellas. Just know this and be prepared.Bring your own knives. The ones in the house are about as sharp as an 80 year old politician.Bring your own reuse-able containers. The listing says there are some there - nope.The beach toy closet is FULL of useful toys - don’t bring any sand toys or chairs or carts unless you just want or need them. This was by far the best asset of this property - really well thought out!Check doors and windows when you come in, the cleaning crew left a few open and some of the sliding doors on the rear of the house stick a little and can let hot air in.

    When we booked, we were concerned about the size of the house and rooms, but we were very pleased that there was plenty of room and many beds for our large group. The oceanfront location and oceanfront decks are spectacular. I would give a five, but there were several items in need of repair, but they didn't signicantly affect our stay. We would definitely stay here again and again.

    We had a family reunion. We had 11 adults staying at the house four families that worked out great. The house was beautiful on the beach just like they said the amenities were perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with very good quality things to cook with. Also had plenty of beach accessories sometimes you don’t find those things when you rent houses, but they said they were going to be there and they were there.

    Property was perfect for 8 adults and 4 children. Located just outside the beach sand dunes with beach access boardwalk running along side property. Host was very accommodating with any concerns or issues we had (only one minor issue that was remedied a.s.a.p.) and is a place I would definately stay again for that group size. I could not have been any happier with the property.

    Lovely home that was obviously well cared for…everyone was comfortable there. Downstairs bedroom smelled mildewey but I imagine bedrooms on ground floors oceanfront have that problem regularly.

    Never been to Sunset Beach before and this was the perfect spot to get acquainted with the area. Convenient to pier and public access. House was clean and kitchen was well equipped. We like to cook and Bill's seafood was a great resource. Great supply of games and beach equipment. Loved the screen porch and open deck. Excellent beach house!

    You cannot beat the beach access from this house, and sitting on the balcony/screened porch with the cool ocean breeze blowing was our absolute favorite. Our combined families of 12 people slept very comfortably here, and the kitchen was the most well-stocked of any VRBO we’ve been to. Thermostat broke while we were there, and property maintenance man had it replaced the same day we called. Would definitely stay again.

    The house was a great size for our family of 10 adults and kids. Best feature was the GREAT screened porch. It was big, well-furnished and well-shaded all day long. I love to cook and the kitchen was furnished much better than most rentals with utensils, cutting boards and good-quality cookware, The beach area was very nice as well. Not too crowded, a gentle slope good for the kids, and fine firm sand great for bike-riding. I would definitely recommend and return!

    We loved every minute of our stay at The Grey Dolphin. The house was clean and comfortable. We especially loved the porch for sitting and listening to the crashing waves. It was peaceful and exactly the type of vacation we were looking for.
