About this house rental

*Under new management as of April 2023! Premier Host, Tyler, has been managing vacation rentals in this beach community for several years (and grew up in the neighborhood) and is committed to exceptional service and ensuring our guests have a great experience!*

Sunset Sand Castle is a breath of fresh air, located directly on the sands of Sunset Beach with stunning ocean views and easy beach access right out the back door. The backyard is perfect for sunny days with plenty of patio furniture and a gas grill, while the inside has a comfortable atmosphere with all the modern conveniences you could hope for.

Truly the ideal beach house getaway, surfboards and boogie boards are provided for your enjoyment, plus a small fleet of bikes to explore the area!

The Sand Castle is an excellent fit for family vacations, with easy beach access and a bunk room for the kids, but there's something special for parents too!

The master bedroom boasts picture windows that run the length of the room and span nearly the entire "wall," leaving nothing between you and the spectacular sunsets that give the community its name. A recently added couple's balcony makes it possible to really take in the full experience (glass of wine in hand, might we recommend).

As the day fades away, enjoy quiet nights winding down as a parade of lights passes by from ships heading into nearby Long Beach Harbor. This makes for such a peaceful setting that guests have a hard time deciding which vista they enjoyed more!

Things to know:
Parking - one car on the street behind garage (with additional street parking nearby)
Full kitchen (with dishwasher)
High-speed WiFi
Inline gas BBQ outside
New Washer and Dryer onsite
Beach towels, boogie boards, surf boards, chairs, and bikes provided
Outdoor shower for post-beach rinse off

Guests have full access to the house including use of the garage

Premier Host, Tyler, is available 24/7 during your stay, feel free to reach out with any questions!

The home, called Sunset Sand Castle, sits directly on a long stretch of sandy beach perfect for sunbathing, water sports, and sunset strolls. There is a wide selection of restaurants within biking distance and a long ocean promenade for bike rides.

Depending on the distance, car or bike are the best forms of transportation. For those who will not be driving/renting a vehicle, Uber and other rideshare platforms pair well with our bikes for the shorter rides!

Trash pick up is every Friday and Monday morning - simply pull the filled cans up to the white line (only a few feet away) the night before to ensure timely pickup

Cozy beach cottage with beautiful views. Lots of outdoor beach furniture and bicycles to ride. Close to shopping. Me and my friends had a great, relaxing time.

Great location right on the beach. The home has a great layout for friends or family with tons of extras included - bikes, beach toys, games, surf gear, beach chairs, towels! The master suite has incredible views, we left the balcony door open & fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing. This is our 2nd stay w friends from high school & we're already talking about our next trip.

We are unhappy with the rental for several major reasons: 1) There were homeless people camping across the street from the property during our stay. Despite this obvious risk, security of the property was questionable because the lock on one of the sliding patio doors would not lock properly. Our next door neighbors mentioned that someone outside their party used their patio hot tub during the early hours of one morning. This shows how easy it could have been for us to have had a break-in due to the faulty lock. 2) When we moved in on Friday night, one of the king beds was broken and not useable. We repaired it ourselves after talking to maintenance person who could not come out until Monday. 3) The flooring in the kitchen was uneven in front of the dishwasher/sink area and was a trip hazard which we tripped over. The deck flooring in two locations was badly buckled. Some of the deck boards were bolted down with the bolt tops sticking up at last a half inch causing possible injury to bare feet. We covered up the bolts with the outdoor floor mats. We kept tripping on the uneven deck flooring at the end of the outdoor hallway leading to the back of the property, 4) The hot water fixture in the downstairs bathroom sink had almost no running water. Consequently we could not wash our hands with warm water in the downstairs bathroom. 5) The downstairs bathroom window has a broken latch, again a security concern. 6) Although recent upgrades have been made to kitchen appliances, the property overall was substandard and shabby. There was so much old dirty furniture in the family room that movement was greatly constrained for our party of eight which included two small children. I would not rent this property again.

Pictures were clearly photoshopped, great location, cleaning crew was horrible, had to buy some basics - measuring cups, spatula, dish soap…etc. Outside area was less than clean

House was perfect for myself and family. The location was excellent. Furniture didn't bother us, we simply moved some into the garage and created more space. Bikes are useless, so if you want to enjoy a nice bike ride during your stay, rent or bring your own. Overall really enjoyed our time in Sunset Beach.

Had an amazing time. The house is wonderfully located and plenty of room to enjoy this beach. Only thing missing that could be a make or break with us was a fireplace/ring in the back. Our neighbors had one and we were quite jealous! But other than that one missing item, the place was great! Had a wonderful time.

This is our only time EVER giving a negative review for a VRBO property. We have stayed in many VRBO homes and have had overall very good experiences. We know that sometimes with a rental home some things might go wrong. No big deal. This situation was very different. After we got home, they sent us a notice that they wanted additional money for cleaning. Mind you, the cleaning fee was already nuts considering this is a small house. They DID NOT provide us with ANY checkout instructions, we ALWAYS leave a home compliant. We DID NOT abuse this home. Our home is nearly triple the size, in a major metropolitan area and it is half the cost charged twice a month to clean our house, our housekeeper has been with us for 14 years. I don't think she would stick with us if we were wrecking our house like a bunch of 80's rock stars. Anything these property owners asked of us we did. We had been willing to just grin and bear the experience and not review until the extra charge was sent. Here's what you should know: -no check in information, even day of, had to message and call multiple times to get access to house -house 85 degrees inside when we entered, AC only helped in upstairs hall, bedroom ceiling fans inoperable. -dishwasher soap tray does not close, had to wash all dishes by hand, very inconvenient with 6 people -washer does not work, also inconvenient with 6 people. (we know they knew about this and did not tell us) -requested wifi info multiple times, did not receive until 4th day of stay -no hot water in downstair shower, this is the best shower in the house and was unusable. Master bath shower has painful water pressure and main bath shower shoots right out the door when you get in, soaking the whole bathroom -torn up furniture cushions in home and on patio furniture -took time out of our vacation to be present for a microwave repair person to come and work on behalf of owner (repair person spoke with owner while there, we overheard them discuss broken washer) -"fleet of bikes" are corroded, falling apart and mostly unusable -every evening many homeless people set up camp in park next to front of house right outside downstairs bedroom. They did not seem dangerous. Police come every morning around 6-7 AM to clear them out We have escalated rejecting their request for more cleaning funds and have asked for funds back. This seems more than reasonable in my opinion. I have given them days to respond and have heard nothing.
