4.0 / 5.0
Lovely neighborhood. Very quiet and relaxing. A few problems with TVs & remotes. Just my opinion that pillows need replacing & having cable would have been a definite plus But overall stay was very nice.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful quiet location just a 5 minute drive to the beach and a short drive to Myrtle Beach for all the entertainment and shopping you could ever want. Spacious accomodations for our family of four with all the amenities of home. Dont stay at a hotel stay here!. The owner made everything easy for check in and check out. A completely enjoyable hassle free vacation.
4.0 / 5.0
The VRBO was laid out very well and very quiet.
However, this was the first time at any of my multiple VRBO rentals in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Utah that we had to do housecleaning work, such as having to make our own beds, clean out the dishwasher, get towels and washcloths from the dryer for all bathrooms, etc. We were on vacation so we didn’t like the fact we had to do arrival maid service work.
Furthermore, the floors were not clean. My wife and family had to scrub their feet day-1 because they were walking around in their bare feet and they were black from walking on the floors. I wore socks and they were dirty too. The TV stand was very dusty and there were crumbs around the living room light stands and under the sofa.
In addition, there was a dead stinky sea starfish in a bucket on the outside patio when we arrived.
Housecleaning prior to our arrival was very poor. I would consider a new housecleaning service.

Nice roomy 3bed place within a few miles of the beach. Pool in the complex was nice. Indoor and outdoor option. Beach access has bathrooms and parking. Worked well with small children. Plenty of places in close proximity to eat and play.

Beautiful community
I enjoyed the condo, pool (outdoor and indoor) and the jacuzzi.
It was close to a grocery store. The neighboring town of Calabash was a gem.
Sunset Beach was beautiful!
The property was a little further from the beach than I was expecting but working 10-15 min drive depending on time of day.

Nice condo
We enjoyed our stay, as we have always enjoyed Sunset Beach and the beds are very comfortable! The condo location and cleanliness were great, just a bit outdated and not enough linens. As long as you manage expectations and bring all your own beach gear, you should enjoy your stay!

We took a family vacation, which we haven’t been on in 6 yrs. The place we stayed at was nice and less than 10 minutes away from the beach! Happy we chose the condo.

Nice stay for family
The property was as described, it suited our purposes just fine. Not too far of a drive to the beach, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. It was a pretty perfect low key vacation. The owner was very understanding about rescheduling our dates of stay, we were very appreciative of that. Small issues-one of the TV’s cable system (didn’t work in one of the bedrooms), but it wasn’t really a big deal to us and the owner gave me the information to handle that myself if I so chose. While we were there the weather was great, we were able to use the outdoor pool which was amazing because we were told it wasn’t going to be open until Memorial Day. It was only open for half of our stay. We were informed by a man from the HOA that the outdoor pool was to be drained and worked on so we couldn’t use it or even use the outdoor area around the pool outside to lay out either. He said it was to be out of commission for weeks. Thankfully, we were still able to use the indoor pool and hot tub. We also went to the beach so that worked for us. Also on our last full day there the owner met a repairman at the property and we didn’t feel comfortable leaving the unit and all of our belongings while they were there, so we waited at the condo from 9:00am-1:30pm which took a chunk out of our day. All in all though, we would rent this property again. We had a really nice time. Thanks and we plan on returning in the future!

Nice stay
I stayed at the condo with my husband and two kids. The apartment was clean and very spacious. It was well equipped and indoor/outdoor swimming pools were a nice addition. I would recommend if you don’t mind driving to stores, restaurants and beach

Uncomfortable, unequipped, unclean.
The location is very convenient, close to the beach and one of our very favorite restaurants. It is spacious and fairly quiet, and the exterior is attractive and welcoming. Having said that, the furniture isn’t made for relaxing. By reading past reviews I see that this particular inadequacy has been mentioned before. I have a hard time imagining the owners being both knowledgable and confident that renters can have a relaxing stay with the uncomfortable couch and chairs.
There is a leak in the freezer that is remedied by a bowl in the refrigerator that catches the water. There was mold growing in a few of the kitchen cabinets. While we were aware that the place would not have an abundance of linens, there was not a dish towel in sight. I only mention this because it might be the first time we ever encountered lack of a dish towel. We didn’t enjoy putting our own sheets on the beds, we were aware, and at least we knew they were clean. There was a parade of dead bugs along the sliding glass door and the entry way, so I’m not sure the last time it had been checked and cleaned. The bathrooms were adequate, but could have been cleaner. The water pressure was good. Get better furniture, invest in some linens, deep clean the moldy cabinets, and repair the refrigerator. Overall, the property has potential, but is disappointing.

Nice weekend

Condo Near the Beach
My wife and I really enjoyed this first floor condo within a very short driving distance to beautiful Sunset Beach. The condo had all the amenities of home and also had a patio where we were able to sit and read during our stay. Wendy, the owner, was very easy to deal with and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Review from a mom
There were some issues that I had with the property. I know that decor and furnishings is up to the owner, but the living room furniture was terrible. We had to tape sponges on the corners of the glass coffee table for fear of my children falling and hurting themselves on it. The couch and two chairs were extremely uncomfortable. The entire furniture grouping needs to be replaced. It was very hard to just sit and relax after a day at the beach. There were also some dead bugs in the corners of some rooms when we checked in. The cleaning process should be more thorough for the next guests. The ice maker in the freezer leaked. We weren’t sure why there was a bowl of frozen water in the refrigerator when we got there. Once we turned the temperature down to normal in the refrigerator, we realized that the ice maker was leaking into the refrigerator. That’s why the people before us put the refrigerator temperature to freezing when they left. This way there would be leak after they left. Also, the TV in the guest room had hardly any channels. My parents stayed in that room, and they were really disappointed in lack of TV channels on their TV. Overall, the condo needs a lot of updating. It could use some updates to make the stay more comfortable. The location was good! We didn’t mind the drive to the beach. We wouldn’t stay here again for all the above reasons, but we want to be closer to the beach next time.

Great Memorial Day Weekend!
My group of 7 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The beach was only minutes away and we had easy access to the pool. The property was clean and the condo itself was well-maintained and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Renter beware
This is a spacious condo well located in Sunset Beach. I live in Sunset Beach and rented for overflow guests. Upon arrival I found that obviously the condo had not been serviced (cleaned) in a while. There were several dead bugs on the floor in the kitchen and bedrooms. The toilets were soiled from not being cleaned for a while. When I complained to the owner, she said that there are heavy minerals in the water there and thus the stains. I worked as a property manager in SB and I know this is not the case.
The beds were not made although the sheets were folded on top of each bed. It took a while to find the towels, which were worn and a little ratty. Be advised: there was no toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, cleaning supplies. If you rent this property be prepared to bring those things with you.
I have used VRBO for years. I have never had such a disappointing experience. This property is not up to VRBO standards in my opinion. With that said, the AC, appliances, and most of the lights worked. The pool is nice. Just don't expect what you normally get with a VRBO rental.

A very nice place to stay. Quiet and convenient to everything. We were in town for my son's wedding and loved straying at this property. Wendy was easy to deal with and made sure we were happy with our stay....will use again.

Perfect for our Thanksgiving stay!
This condo was very clean, and super easy to access. We weren’t there too much, as we were visiting family nearby and mainly used it for sleeping. However, it served all of our needs and the owner responded right away to any questions we had.
Thanks Wendy!
