Nestled between the larger cities of Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, our little hamlet is known for pristine beaches, friendly people, authentic Southern coastal cuisine, and a small town feel... all while offering up tons to do, see, and explore.

Certainly a lot easier to access than Cambodia, one visit to Sunset Beach will convince you that it hits all the marks as an awesome family-friendly vacation spot.

How do I find a Vacation Rental?

Which rental you choose will certainly depend on your personal needs. Here are some things to consider as you browse homes and narrow down your choices:

1. Your dates.

Our best homes rent very quickly. Some people even book their home a year in advance! If you know your dates, try to reserve a home as soon as you can. Concerned about booking too early? Here is some information about our cancellation policy:  

Cancellations & Transfers:  Should you need to cancel your reservation, please notify us as soon as possible. We will make every effort to re-rent the property. If we re-rent your home, all monies (less a $50.00 bookkeeping fee) will be returned within 45 days after receipt of the re-booking payment. If we are unable to re-rent the property, the full advance rent payment will be forfeited.

2. Your group size. 

Whether you are booking a romantic getaway for two or hosting a huge family reunion, we have something that will fit your needs. By using our easy-to-use search tool, you can filter homes by number of guests or number of bedrooms. 

If you are traveling with a really large group and might require more than one home, try our "Neighboring Homes" tool. We have grouped certain homes together that are located in easy proximity of each other for you to view. 

3. Your budget.

It all comes down to this in the end. How much you are able to spend on your vacation home will determine which house you end up renting, and they can vary in price by thousands of dollars. 

You will obviously pay more for a larger house, but you can save money by choosing a home that is located more inland, or possibly by squeaking by with one less bedroom. 

Hey, a vacation is all about family togetherness, right?
