Most people like to start their day with a great cup of coffee, and that is especially true on vacation! Even though it's supposed to be a time of relaxation, often we stay up later than usual, enjoy more activity during the day, and crave that morning pick-me-up more than ever.

Your Sunset Beach rental

You don't have to go out to enjoy a great cup of coffee. After all, one of the best amenities most of our Sunset Beach rentals offer is a coffee maker in the kitchen! 

Find out ahead of time if it's a Keurig-type or if you need to bring some filters, and make your own custom drink right in the comfort of your own home-away-from-home.
