About this house rental

AVAILABLE DATES: Summer (June, July, August) - WEEKLY rentals ONLY, Saturday to Saturday, NO exceptions. If your desired dates are not open on the VRBO calendar, they are already reserved by another guest. We will not negotiate switching vacation dates with another confirmed rental.

HOUSE DETAILS: We are now a LINENS INCLUDED rental - sheets and bath towels (for 8 guests) provided. House updates never end! Fall 2024 - New beds - mattress and box springs in King and Queen (2) bedrooms. Screened porch facelift complete, and NEW CARPET installed!

All canal dredging finished Spring 2024-everything is more navigable. We try to keep our photos current ... just know there may be slight differences between the VRBO photos and the actual home. The house is ALWAYS better than the photos!

RENTAL PROCESS: You rent directly from the Owners. (Many VRBO homes are managed by commercial property managers.)

PAYMENT PROCESS: The ONLY payment method is credit card via VRBO's secure payment process. Owners do not receive or store your credit card information. VRBO holds ALL funds from owners until your vacation start date. Only the rental fee and cleaning/internet fees are distributed to owners. VRBO collects/pays all applicable taxes and assesses an administration fee.

HOW TO BOOK: To secure a vacation reservation, submit a VRBO online inquiry. From such, owners will confirm pricing and share the rental agreement. Owners WILL NOT send you a payment request. Guests must initiate booking via VRBO. No vacation is guaranteed until BOTH a signed rental agreement AND deposit payment are received – rates and availability are subject to change until your paperwork is processed. If your credit card is declined, you have a short window of time with VRBO to make payment, otherwise the vacation period becomes open for others to book. Rental agreement can be scanned/emailed or sent via snail mail directly to the owners (contact details on the agreement). Your rental rate is determined at time of booking - rates cannot be adjusted post-booking. Multi-week summer bookings are welcome; however, there is no discount to the rental rate.

BOATING: If you bring a boat or jet ski(s), there is a boat ramp on the mainland side of the Sunset Beach bridge. Recent dredging (2024) has improved water access. We have a 17-foot skiff that clears, but larger watercraft may be challenged. There are no rental refunds in the event your boat does not clear properly or if there is unforeseen damage to our dock preventing its use.

GENERAL INFO: Dreaming of a quiet getaway to the North Carolina coast? We have vacationed at Sunset Beach since early 1990s. We purchased this home in 2008 (and owned a separate beach cottage on the island for many years before). We are always doing something to keep the property updated and fresh. This is our home away from home and we want you to enjoy Sunset Beach just like our family. The property is decent sized for a small family getaway (with grandparents, cousins, or friends).

The home has an open floor plan on the main level and is tastefully furnished. The kitchen is well-equipped. There are games and activities galore. Under the house you will find additional space to relax. Take the well-loved canoe or one of the two kayaks down the canal to the Intracoastal waterway. The screened porch provides a great venue for an afternoon board game or dining al fresco. Enjoy ocean, canal, and intracoastal views from the decks and many windows. Sun decks on the main and upper levels provide alternative spots to the beach. We expanded the original front deck and have solid wood Adirondack chairs on all three levels. Public beach access is ~300 feet from the house. Guests may enjoy our fabulous 'beach buggy' for easy transport of beach essentials.

We welcome rentals from families and responsible adults over the age of 25 (the person who signs the rental agreement must be present on the property throughout the rental period). The house sleeps a maximum of 8 people (adults and any children traveling with you). Review the floorplan carefully to ensure the bedroom/bedding arrangements work for your group. Absolutely NO PETS and NO smoking in this home or anywhere on the property. Our home backs up to water and has many decks and interior open railings. Keep this in mind if you are vacationing with younger children.

ABOUT SUNSET BEACH: Sunset Beach is the Southern-most barrier island on the North Carolina coast. It is a short drive to Calabash (Seafood Capital of the South) and ~20-minute drive to North Myrtle Beach. Sunset Beach is one of North Carolina’s most peaceful beaches with 200+ feet of natural dunes before the first row of homes. The atmosphere is quaint and family-oriented, even during peak season. One of the Nation’s most beautiful wildlife preserves – Bird Island – is a nice walk (2.5 miles from the house) down beach. Visit the Kindred Spirit mailbox – an inspiration for Nicholas Sparks's novel "Every Breath." Observe deer, wild goats, sea turtles, and other sea life as well as enjoy miles of undeveloped dunes and marsh areas.

If you are a golfer, you don't have to travel far to enjoy dozens of courses. We are close to many local conference centers (Sea Trail is one), making our home a nice alternative to hotel lodging.

The Bugg house is well equipped and comfortable. The location is great, easy walk to the beach and great dock on the inlet.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bugg House. We especially enjoyed the area under the house and all of extra things that were provided. There were three generations- five adults and three children.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bugg House. It was such a comfortable house. Even thought most of our time is spent on the beach, my family loves comfortable living room furniture at night and on rainy days. The Bugg House more than delivered in this aspect. The walk to the beach was much shorter than I expected and being right between two beach accesses was very nice. There were two situations where I had to contact the owners regarding the key code to lock/unlock doors and they were immediately available and resolved the problem. Overall, it was a great week!

We have been going to Sunset beach most of the past 41 years, most often staying oceanfront. I have to admit that this canal home has a much more pleasant, neighborly feel. Looks to me that this house is being updated a bit each year. Pride of ownership shows.
