Once you cross over the bridge to our small barrier island, leave your work and daily routine behind.

The Dog house was perfect for our family of seven. We were looking for a relaxful week at the beach with the convenience of coming and going and this house delivered. Our kids could easily enjoy walking safely to and from the beach and spent their time off the beach mastering riding their bikes with no hands on the quiet street They loved the Soduku game and played it everyday. The bedrooms were spacious, the downstairs storage for beach supplies were a perfect fit our wagon, stroller and canopy. The best part of the house was the well stocked kitchen. We love to cook our own meals and this house was fit with baking dishes, plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils for our annual shrimp boil and more. It was a perfect beach week!

My husband and I (along with our small dog) enjoyed our stay. The home is close to the beach and provides good amenities from relaxing on the front screened porch to cooking your favorite meals in the well appointed kitchen. Mary, the host, was responsive, welcoming and accommodating. We will look to stay here again.

We have stayed here many times over the last 3 years. It is sooo comfortable, relaxed and clean. I can always be guaranteed a good night's sleep in the beds. The view from the sun porch is lovely because even though it's about 5 houses down the street we can still a view of the ocean. Dogs love it, too!

Mary,the property owner, is always very friendly and keeps guests apprised of any potential changes to one's stay. Her houskeeper is also very thoughtful and leaves home made cookies and snacks on the counter. I love staying here, and our dog really relaxes in the screened in porch. This is definitely a gem of a rental if you need a pet friendly hone within walking distance to the beach.

The place was clean. The only thing I would suggest is to keep basics in the kitchen especially if someone wants to cook. Cooking oil, some spices, aluminum foil, dishwasher tabs. We had some issues with toilet rolls but Mary was quick enough to send them. We met her as she stays down the road. Overall a good place to stay. Dog friendly and less than 10 minutes to the beach.

Fabulous location, well appointed, clean with all the right amenities. The bedrooms set up with a queen bedroom, 2 twin beds with a bath on each side of the house makes it perfect for 2 small families to share or 1 large one. Sunset Beach is gorgeous, the weather was perfect and the easy walk to the beach is great. Furnishings are dated, but clean and comfortable. I will be back!

We had a great weekend stay at The Doghouse. Rooms were clean and house was comfortable and fully equipped. A sweet note from the host along with fresh baked cookies was a nice welcome. It was a short walk to the beach and convenient to other places to visit.

We really enjoyed this house and our stay was perfect. The house was equipped with everything we needed to cook our meals so we could spend more time on nice family walks and game playing during our December stay. Personally, I appreciate the nice, wide, sturdy, stairs leading to the front door, the laundry room off of the kitchen rather than downstairs, and, the very accommodating owner.

We loved our time at the Doghouse. Many of us hadn’t seen each other since before our little one was born and it was an incredible spot to reconnect and spend quality time together. The house was clean and comfortable with enough space to stretch our legs without overcrowding each other, ideal walking distance to the beach, and close enough to restaurants if we didn’t feel up to cooking. Our kiddo loved finding the plate of fresh baked cookies upon arrival.

Mary has a beautiful, bright clean home. It made us feel right at home with coziness and modern decor. The dog pictures added to the charm. And we appreciated that size didn’t matter when it came to our dogs. Gems like this home are hard to find. We will def rent again when we come to Brunswick county to visit family. A wonderful short walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood was also enjoyed amongst us all.

We were 6 adults, 2 kids and two small dogs sharing this house. First off location can’t be beat!! Half block away from the water. The house was perfect for us. Loved the front porch and the outdoor shower is a great feature with a large group. Yes house is dated but was clean and met all our requirements. Mary was great at communication and was a perfect host. It’s a rarity for our entire family to be together and The Dog House allowed us to have a wonderful and very memorable time together. Thank you Mary for that! Hope we can do it again!

We had an amazing time. The location was great and the house was super clean. The communication with the property owner was great and the welcome basket was a nice surprise! The house itself was perfect. There was some wear and tear to some of the cosmetics of the house but that is expected of an older house and it did not have any impacts to our stay. We would definitely stay here again, highly recommended!

The property was great. Mary was very helpful and also provided goodies at check in. This was our first stay at Sunset Beach and won’t be our last. The house was an easy walk to the beach and to the main road to get on the island. We rented bikes at Julie’s Rentals which is also a great coffee shop. We walked to the Trading Post a couple of evenings to get ice cream after dinner. We also visited Bird Island which is a few short blocks from the house. The house was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the screenedm in porch. It was a great week!

This was a fabulous property! The location was ideally located within walking distance of a really beautiful beach. The floorplan of the house is great for a family or 4 couples or individuals with 2 bedrooms and a bath on each side of the house, and the living/kitchen area in the middle. We loved sitting on the screened in porch, but there is also a nice back deck. The neighborhood is very nice and we felt safe walking to an from the beach even at night. The cottage was very clean, and all of the basic necessities were provided. Mary, the owner/manager was great about communication and very accomodating to our needs. I would definitely stay at this property again!
