It is peaceful and the views of the sound are gorgeous. Fish and crabbing from the homes dock is a rare treat. We’ve stayed 3 times in the past year and look forward to our next visit. ##### Mary E K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Bonnie M. 2 Jul 2025 #### love the views and amenities outside We have stayed here before. We came back because of the location, vibes and views from the sound, and the amenities of paddle boards, kayaks and beach things. Very roomy and clean. Updating on tv's is a must. ##### Bonnie M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn F. 21 Jun 2024 #### We had a great week at sunset Great location , waterfront access, pets allowed. There are a lot of stairs so older guests need to be aware of that, as do those with young children. ##### Lynn F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard P K. 27 Sept 2024 #### Home Away From Home Sunset is a very happy, comfortable home that is equipped with just about anything you need to make your beach vacation memorable…from bicycles to beach equipment…crab traps to kayaks…it has it all. Just a few minutes walk and you arrive at the ocean. The sound side, with its beautiful views, is on full display for you to enjoy. We have enjoyed Sunset twice this summer! ##### Richard P K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard K. 13 Jul 2024 #### Excellent stay, highly recommend The property and sound-side views are incredible. Amenities are also excellent. There is so much you can do that the property provides: kayaking, biking, etc. The dock in the back was great to fish and we even caught several crabs using their traps and some bait. House is only a 5 min walk to the beach. Beds and furniture are comfortable as well. Only complaint is that some of the amenities are outdated/dirty: Broken blinds, dirty coffee pot, clogged sinks, older TVs with misplaced remotes. Even still, I highly recommend and would come back again. ##### Richard K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela R. 3 Oct 2024 #### Great Waterfront Home! My girlfriends and I loved the home. The location and view is amazing. The bedrooms are sizable and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking. We loved kayaking with the kayaks provided. They also have paddle boards. We did not use the sauna. The dock/ outdoor space is fantastic and a great extension to the home. It's a short drive to the hub of Surf City, Ubers were available when we were there. Be sure to bring all spices, aluminum foil, 409... supplies like that. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Angela R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Noble Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Hotel-Noble.h32996788.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Newcastle - Gosforth Park by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Newcastle-Gosforth-Park.h10513.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-France.d59.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Castellammare del Golfo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castellammare-Del-Golfo-Hotels.d6023878.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Impressive Premium Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Impressive-Premium-Punta-Cana.h27573830.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Fantasia Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Fantasia-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h15466753.Hotel-Information) > > [Kincraig Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Invergordon-Hotels-Kincraig-Castle-Hotel.h2949256.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Pisa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-NH-Pisa.h14001.Hotel-Information) > > [The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Asheville-Hotels-The-Omni-Grove-Park-Inn.h438107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Scone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scone-Hotels.d182817.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Lodge At Perth Racecourse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Perth-Racecourse.h15971416.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Star Hotels in Letchworth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Letchworth-Hotels.s40-0-d4675.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lifton Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lifton-Hotels-Lifton-Hall-Hotel.h1263510.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Clifton Observatory](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clifton-Observatory-Hotels.0-l6084193-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheeca Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Islamorada-Hotels-Cheeca-Lodge-Spa.h5780.Hotel-Information) > > [Odyssee Boutique Hotel Casablanca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Casablanca-Hotels-Odyssee-Center-Hotel.h26829054.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ahwahnee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-The-Ahwahnee.h974797.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in South Shields](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Shields-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d5691-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Mother Ruin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-The-Mother-Ruin.h35178162.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Christchurch (CHC) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/chc/lhr/christchurch-to-london) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Sumburgh (LSI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/lsi/london-to-lerwick) > > [Flights from Austin (AUS) to New Orleans (MSY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/aus/msy/austin-to-new-orleans) > > [Flights from Glasgow Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/tyo/glasgow-to-tokyo) ### Cars > [Car hire in Alonissos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Alonissos.d6047004.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Puerto Quetzal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Puerto-Quetzal.d6024033.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Katarina Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Katarina-Island-Rovinj.d6100782.Attraction) > > [Mataro Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mataro.d5139.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Stockton-on-Tees Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockton-On-Tees-Holiday-Rentals.d5700.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals)
