Tranquil Beach | Sunset Vacations 

1. The Beautiful Beach

What is a summer vacation without the beach? After all, what could be more calming and rejuvenating that the soft sound of the ocean waves under a clear, sunny sky? As the name suggests, Sunset Beach is stunning. Pristine sand. Lovely, picturesque clumps of beach grass and sea oats. And, of course, incredible sunsets. What could be better?

2. Tranquility

Sunset Beach is truly beautiful and peaceful. The waters aren’t filled with enormous cruise ships blocking your view, and the beaches aren’t crowded with partying teenagers like you might find in some of the more commercial beaches to our south. Sunset Beach is truly family-friendly. You will hear the sound of laughter floating through the air! Sunset Beach is a happy spot, where your little ones can run and stretch their legs, and you can throw your head back and soak in the sunshine without stress or worry. Which is exactly what you are looking for in a vacation spot, isn’t it? 

3. Freedom from Commercialism

One of the things that contributes to the beautiful tranquility in Sunset Beach is its freedom from commercialism. The unsightly mega stores and the characterless chain stores are nowhere to be found. Instead, there is a sprinkling of charming local shops, where you can find beautiful souvenirs, beach styles, and even the perfect beach read!

4. Proximity to more fun! 

If you have young kids, you will most certainly appreciate the tranquility of Sunset Beach, and the fact that you are vacationing in a place without a lot of commercialism to distract you from the beauty all around. That being said, you might still want to take an excursion to a theme park or some other very kid-specific place. You will be happy to hear that Sunset Beach is only a short drive away from Myrtle Beach! While it is far enough away that you can escape from the crowds (not to mention the money you will save by staying in a small town like Sunset Beach), it is close enough for you to visit if you want to take in an attraction or two.

5. The Stunning Homes

Maybe this one should have been number one. But who says the best can’t come last? Sunset Beach (and more specifically, Sunset Vacations) has some incredible vacation rental home treasures. And, as we all know, where you stay will make or break a vacation. If you are overcrowded, cramped, and stuffed into a space, you will not have a relaxing vacation. And when you aren’t the perfect distance from the beach, your vacation can also be a disappointment.
