About this house rental
Sea La Vie -- Sunset Beach is a great property situated on one of the most desirable streets on the island. The interior of the house was recently repainted and now provides a bright beachy atmosphere for your relaxing family vacation. The house is in a quiet location just a short walk to both the beach and the inter-coastal waterway. Enjoy dinners around the rustic kitchen table, drinks on the screened-in porch and beautiful views of the sun setting over Bird Island from the second floor balcony.
The house has five bedrooms -- three upstairs and two downstairs -- each with a controllable ceiling fan. The ocean can be seen from the upstairs bedrooms. The two bedrooms on the front of the house (one downstairs and one upstairs) have a king bed and a queen bed, respectively, and sliding glass doors leading onto private balconies overlooking Bull Creek and the marshes of Bird Island. The two bedrooms on the back of the house (one downstairs and one upstairs) also have queen beds. As an added bonus, there is a twin bed located in a small bedroom on the back of the house.
There are two bathrooms (one downstairs and one upstairs) that are shared by the bedrooms on each level. For the more adventurous, there are two private outdoor showers located under the house.
The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, dishes, glassware, barware and silverware to easily feed and entertain a party of twelve. The large square kitchen table seats eight or more and is the perfect place for family dinners or late night card games. The kitchen has a large refrigerator with ice maker, an electric range, a microwave, a dishwasher and and a garbage disposal. A coffee maker and single-serve coffee maker are provided, as is a blender for smoothies or tropical beverages.
The spacious living area at the front of the house provides comfortable seating for both adults and children. There is a large coffee table that is perfect for playing board games or assembling puzzles. For the digitally inclined, there is a large screen television with SmartTV and a Blu-ray/DVD player in the living room as well as smaller SmartTV televisions in all of the bedrooms. Wireless internet is provided through a cable internet router.
Off the front of the living room through a set of sliding glass doors is a screened-in porch with patio furniture. It is the perfect location to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks. With the serenity of the Bird Island marsh just across the street, the peacefulness experienced while sitting in one of the rocking chairs reading a book is unparalleled.
Under the house is covered parking for cars, rocking chairs and open air space for children to play. A new gas grill also provides a large platform for outdoor cooking.
Unlike other property rentals at Sunset Beach, Sea La Vie comes with many items that other owners require their tenants to rent or bring with them for their stay. For instance, we provide a number of beach chairs and a beach wagon for renters to use during their stay. (Linens, however, are not included with the rental).
The boardwalk beach access on 40th Street is just a few minutes' walk from Sea La Vie and has no stairs, making it one of the easiest walks to the ocean on the island. The house's close proximity to the ocean make it convenient to return to for bathroom breaks, lunch or a mid-day nap for the children. The beach at the 40th Street access also is the least crowded because there is no development beyond this point. Rolling surf and a gently sloping beach also make it a good place to learn to handle a surfboard.
At the center of Sunset Beach Island is a small village of shops. You can take a leisurely stroll from Sea La Vie to get ice cream, Italian ice, snacks and island souvenirs. You also can grab a casual lunch overlooking the ocean at the Sunset Beach Pier Grill. Finally, if you need need something during the day, there is a small grocery store on the island.
For those who prefer fresh water entertainment, Bull Creek and the waterways through the marsh beyond 40th Street provide peaceful areas to kayak or stand-up paddle board. Boats and jet skis are available for rental from marinas in nearby Ocean Isle or North Myrtle Beach.
For golfers, the area surrounding Sunset Beach has a wide variety of courses challenging to all levels of players. Given the number of courses, it is rarely a problem to find a tee time. There are even putt putt courses for little golfers to enjoy.
You will also enjoy the many restaurants that are within a short drive of the house. In addition to the many local seafood restaurants, there are excellent Italian restaurants, Mexican restaurants, continental restaurants and even a Jamaican restaurant.
Finally, for those looking for more excitement, the bright lights of Myrtle Beach are just over the border in South Carolina. With outlet shopping, restaurants, live music, carnival rides, miniature golf and the boardwalks, there is something to entertain every member of your family.

Our family had a wonderful experience at Sea La Vie in beautiful Sunset Beach, NC.
The owners and management group were great!
The home is beautiful; the location is fantastic; and the overall experience was 5-star.
Little bonuses (like the telescope) were unexpected and appreciated and little finishing touches (like a sewing kit for that button that just "popped off") were fantastic.
With the updated appliances and the top-notch cookware, you'll be prepared for anything from a quick hot breakfast to a big 'home-cooked' family meal.
Great spaces to be together as a family, and lots of room to spread out if you need privacy, or just an occasional moment alone. You'll have plenty of options for taking in the beauty of the surroundings with decks and porches on all sides of the home.
You simply can't go wrong by choosing Sea La Vie!

House has everything you need and plenty of space for our family. Due to the very hot week us “old folks” from FL felt like the walk to the beach was a long way for us! It really had everything we need including a wagon to haul it all! Thank you for having us. Some of the prettiest and largest beaches we’ve visited.

Our whole family enjoyed our stay at your Beautiful Beach House! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with the new appliances and eating at the big square table. The bathrooms were nice with good water pressure, good places to store belongings, and nice lighting. The bedrooms were bright with nice places to store clothing. The beds were comfortable and everyone commented they had a good nights sleep each night. There were a good number of TVs and they worked well. The outdoor showers were the best we have ever had with lighting and fresh paint. The walk to the beach was not far and the boardwalk over the dunes was a nice incline with no stairs. It’s a lovely welcoming and comfortable home that we would enjoy coming back to.

Easy walk to beach with provided wagon. Especially enjoyed sitting on screened porch at the end of day. Kitchen was well equipped and the 4 bedrooms we used, were very comfortable. We’d definitely recommend.

Our family from Ohio and NC finally had a beach week at our favorite beach. This beach house was the perfect find. We loved everything about our stay. The walk to the beach was even shorter than I remembered as a teen. The kids had the entire top floor so the cute little twin room came in handy. My sister and I particularly enjoyed wine on the screened in porch while watching cardinals. We have no complaints and will definitely return next year.

Sea La Vie is a lovely home. We had a lovely, comfortable time. 4 BR/2 BA. Good shower pressure, comfortable screened porch. Good size kitchen with BIG table for the fam/friend. Short walk (as short as possible) to the Kindred Spirit mailbox. Loved our stay...only wish it could have been longer.
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful home and layout to give 2 families their own space and get to be together at the beach. We cooked in most nights and the kitchen was well equipped. Double vanities in both bathrooms was key! Beds were all comfy and loving / dining areas were perfect to gather. Thanks so much for the great stay!!

Great house. Close to beach but quiet. Worth every penny!

It was wonderful and comfortable. Once the ac filters got changed the musty smell left. Bathroom down stairs needs some attention on the mold on the shower curtain and upstairs bathroom mold inside the shower handle and no hot water. We showered outside a lot😎. We had a blast 💥 your beach house has plenty of room!

Great Summer Vacation
We had a great time at Sea La Vie (family of 6 adults). The house is very clean and well appointed. If you do a lot of cooking, like we did, the kitchen is very well equipped – even had a martini glass and shaker! The outdoor propane grill is a bit tricky and unfortunately the gas went out in the middle of our second dinner, but both the owner and house manager were quick to respond and got the cylinder filled the next day. The bedrooms were also clean and comfortable and we all slept very well. We enjoyed the lower deck for the whole group as well as the more private decks off the two front bedrooms with a beautiful view from the top deck. The house is situated in one of the better locations (quiet and at the end of the island near the marsh) with the walkway to the beach at the end of the block, and the large beach wagon filled with beach chairs was a plus. Everyone loved it!

Wonderful family weekend!
The house was perfect for our family, the house was wonderful with a huge kitchen and great space to hang out with the family. We stayed a weekend with our adult (20s) children, so the walk to the beach was reasonable (the wagon provided was extremely helpful!). Sunset is never crowded, and with this house being at the end of the island, it was really quiet! We definitely recommend this house!

A Small Slice of Heaven
The property was well maintained and in a perfect location. A comfortable and cozy place to rest after a day on the beach or a walk to the Kindred Spirit mailbox. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Nice house and location
Really nice house with a great kitchen and living area. Comfortable bedrooms. Showers are a bit small but adequate.
Nice location near the end of the island, so really quiet.
It would be nice if the listing had mentioned that linens are NOT included and would have to be rented at additional cost.
Also note there is a very high damage deposit required unless you pay for the damage insurance.

Perfect House for our Family Beach Trip
Sunset Beach has long been our family's favorite NC beach vacation and 40th Street is where we prefer to stay. Now we've found the perfect house on 40th Street. This well-appointed house had everything we needed for a beach vacation that seemed more like a stay in our own home, only at the beach! The kitchen had everything we needed (and we do a LOT of cooking), the screened porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails, and there even was a wagon to haul our stuff (including chairs provided) to the beach. We recommend Sea La Vie wholeheartedly.

Stay was ok but you lost us for next year.
Very very disappointed that the first week of two week stay was rented to someone else for next year even though we requested the same weeks next year before the end of our stay. (as we have for last 4 years)

Relaxing week at Sunset
We enjoyed our stay at Sea La Vie. The property is comfortable, clean, close to the beach. We appreciated the cart and chairs available for our use. This house was a great place to celebrate our granddaughter’s arrival, our son’s graduation from PA school, and my husband’s transition to retirement.

Great Family week
We have been coming to Sunset Beach for 40 years and this is one of the few houses on the island with 5 bedrooms to meet the needs of our growing family. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The large wagon was great for hauling chairs, toys, and cooler to the beach. Great location on the west end of the island.

Sea La Vie has much to offer to Sunset Beach vacationers!
Sea La Vie is a well-equipped and maintained vacation home, which includes new kitchen and bathroom countertops, comfortable mattresses and furniture, and a wonderful kitchen table that can accommodate everyone at dinner time!
This home has a generous amount of plates, glasses, cups, bowls, pots and pans. When making reservations, these items may not be on the top of your list... but you will soon come to appreciate their collection very much.
Beach access is wonderful on 40th Street! The stair-less ramp allows beach-goers the option of wheeling carts and wagons with ease. And Sea La Vie offers a wagon and chair selection, which is so convenient.
40th Street is also a great area for viewing the spectacular sunsets in the evening.
Finally, the owners are very timely and thorough with responses to any questions you might have before and during your stay. They also leave wonderful written instructions for tv use, etc.
Our family had a wonderful vacation!

Lovely beach home
Great week at Sea La Vie. We’ve been coming to Sunset Beach for almost 30 years, and this house is one of the more charming and well-appointed. We had two families, 4 kids ranging in age from 9-13. We had enough space and the small, single bedroom provided a refuge for the one preteen girl. Only discrepancy from the online description was that sheets and towels are NOT provided. If you have ever rented on the island, you know that is the norm. But since we fly cross country to be there, not having to lug all that stuff was a huge bonus. The owner was kind enough to let me know the week prior, so it wasn’t a big deal. Would definitely stay at Sea La Vie again.

Lovely Beach House
We very much enjoyed our stay at Sea La Vie. The house is lovely and well equipped. The wagon provided makes the trip to the beach a breeze! We have stayed at many houses in Sunset Beach over the years and this home's location at the end of the island is our favorite as the beach seems to be less crowded and it's a short walk to Bird Island.

Last minute get away
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Communication with the owner was prompt and courteous. The house is located on the quite end of the island just a short walk to the beach. We will definitely look for availability when visiting Sunset Beach in the future.
