Welcome to Grateful Dunes! It’s a second-row house - right across the street from the beach access. It’s laid out with a central open floor plan, so that you can talk with family in the living room while cooking in the kitchen. On each side of the big central room, there’s a suite of 2 bedrooms, connected by a bathroom, perfect for families or friends. We're always improving the house - this year we added a new fridge and microwave, did some painting, and created a shuffleboard court.
INDOOR LIVING:
The kitchen is well-stocked because we live here - with good knives and cutting boards, coffee paraphernalia, and fun stuff like a panini maker, a mini waffle iron, and a whirly pop (which will forever spoil you for microwave popcorn), and of course a blender and toaster and lots of good pots and pans. And we've installed a new gas range, and a reverse-osmosis water purification system.
We’ve put a lot of thought into making the house family friendly, including:
- a wall of bookshelves, fully stocked with books for adults and kids
- a stereo system and some records and CDs
- lots of games and cards and puzzles and art supplies
- a low cabinet with plastic plates and cups, so the kids can get their own snacks
- a 5-gallon water cooler, so the kids can get their own drinks,
- a tea party set
- a portable crib, high chair, and stroller
- cleaning supplies stored on a high shelf, out of reach of little ones
- new washer and dryer
Bring your own sheets and towels - or we can recommend a local linen rental service.
OUTDOOR LIVING:
- right across the street from the beach access!
- a big shady porch deck with lots of comfy seating,
- since we’re on Main Street, there’s great people-watching.
- an outdoor shower,
- a picnic table with benches,
- a Weber grill.
- beach chairs and sand toys.
- shaded shuffleboard court in the carport!
PLEASE NOTE: Although the house has more than one floor, the rental is the first floor only. We have just fulfilled a lifetime dream of moving to Sunset Beach, and we’re delighted to have found a house that we can share with guests, while we move upstairs to the “crow's nest” apartment. So if you need help replacing the water cooler bottle, or want a knitting lesson or recommendations for the best fish market or organic farm market, you only have to text us. But don’t worry, even though we’ll be upstairs, there’s a big empty space between the main house and the little apartment on the 3rd floor - because there's no second floor! So there's lots of privacy - we won't hear you, and you won't hear us.
