We very much enjoyed our stay. The property managers were excellent to work with. The house and furniture were comfortable. The sight and sound of the surf was a pleasure to enjoy all week. We plan to return!

great weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

We had a nice two weeks at Sunset Lodge. The cottage is in a great location, about 10 houses down from the south end of the developed part of the island. There is another ¼ to ½ mile of beautiful, undeveloped beach on the south end. The views from both the east and west (front and back) sides of the cottage are gorgeous—the ocean to the east and the creek to the west. There are screened in porches with dining tables on both sides. There is a nice dock on the creek, plus a small beach that makes it easy for launching a kayak. The living area of the cottage is very comfortable, plus there is a nice big dining table for doing large jigsaw puzzles (with room left over for eating, if needed). The kitchen is well equipped—although it could benefit from a new skillet. The beds are also very comfortable. There were just the two of us staying there. The cottage could fairly easily accommodate another couple; but it would be pretty cozy with more people staying, despite the four bedrooms. There are two bathrooms (each with a single sink). Also, there are closets in only two of the bedrooms, and neither of them has much space for hanging clothes, as they are used for storage of odds and ends (Christmas decorations, an extra lamp, an empty box for the coffee maker, etc.). There are only three comfortable (i.e., with cushions) rocking chairs in the screened-in porch that faces the ocean—plenty for just the two of us, but obviously not enough if more than one couple wants to sit on the porch at the same time. The furniture on the outdoor decks (front and back) is a hodgepodge of old and worn wooden and plastic chairs. (One of the plastic chairs actually has a broken slat and should probably be removed.) Please note that in some cases, the photos on VRBO are outdated—the porch no longer has the pictured wicker armchairs, nor the hammock. (The hammock is now located under the house, which seems an odd place for relaxing--no view or sea breeze, and near the air conditioning unit.) Also, the grill in the photos on VRBO is not normally provided, although when asked, TideLife did provide us with one. (Thanks!) Many of these issues are things that could be easily fixed. in sum, we would rent Sunset again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pawleys. Location was perfect for us. Peaceful and relaxing with stunning views. Beach has been built up with protective dunes that was not reflected in the current pictures of the house on the website. Overall great experience and would visit again.

With the creek in your front yard and the beach for your back yard, you never get bored and there is beauty all around.

In very instance, its ready when promised, clean and fully functional. No issues ever! Highly recommend house and management Team! Thanks to all involved.

This was the perfect beach home. We were steps from the beach and no large dunes or long trails to get there. You literally stepped off the porch and onto the beach. The community was so nice and we enjoyed the local restaurant’s especially Hogs Heaven. We would love to come back again and I definitely recommend this house if you have anyone in your family that loves the beach but can’t walk very far.

Tidelife and its employees make the experience more than just a vacation. They help mold a life memory!

Very good location. Good views of ocean and creek. Easy access to dock.

Perfect beach house with kids. House is in need of a little TLC. Only 5 chairs at dining table and one of those has a piece loose on the back. Front right bedroom floors have issues but we had fun and enjoyed our stay.

This is our third visit and we plan on many more! Already looking forward to our stays in '22.

I wouldn’t consider going back. The staff is very nice, and are willing to flex a little ( I have to send my money in payments). But I DO send it as fast as I earn it. Really like Sunset Lodge, and so do my guests!

The property was perfect with everything we needed.

Love the stove. Back door knob was hard to twist and open. Other than that, it was a lovely cozy home. Will be back again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and great layout for the house with open living areas and views front and back. Great porches on both ocean and creek sides. New tables and chairs on porches are a very nice addition. Would love to have more rockers and a ceiling fan on ocean side porch. This is a great house but needs some cleaning out, decluttering and re-stocking. Closets need to be cleaned out so renters have room to hang clothes. Pots/pans, plates/bowls and kitchen utensils (and the drawers they are in), need to be cleaned out and re-stocked. Only 5 chairs to use around inside table for a house that sleeps 12.

The house was great, ready on time and as we remembered it from last year. Already have Fall return trip on the books. Would not rent from anyone else. So many thanks for everything!

Our stay was amazing. The rental and location are perfect! Management were very helpful. Will be staying agian!

Clean and cozy!

Ideal break for 3 older ladies. We were very comfortable in our separate spaces. Thanks!

With the ocean on one side and the creek on the other, our family had a great time spending time at both. The house was very clean and has a perfect layout for our family. The decks are also very large and great places to sit and look at the beautiful scenery.

Found marshmallows under the bed and a chair in bedroom.
Charging a mandatory beach equipment rental fee was ridiculous in winter. Asked for it to be deducted but were told that it was part of their agreement with VayK Gear regardless of the season.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Sunset Lodge was perfect. Great views of both the Ocean and the marsh. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the decks. Had a Thanksgiving feast with 13 others on the back deck over looking the ocean. Only issue was the patio furniture and poor condition of it. Loved the kitchen and living quarters, will be back for sure.
