Family & Pet Friendly on the West End of Sunset Beach!

We are an affordable, comfortable home located mid block on the popular west end of the island. The living area and dining room (seats 6) are just off the kitchen with a 3 seat breakfast bar. There is a TV and DVD player in the living room, and another TV in one of the bedrooms. The house has 4 bedrooms total, 2 on each side of the house. Each side has one bedroom with a Queen size bed, the other has 2 twins, with a Jack and Jill bathroom between, perfect for 2 young families to share. If you want to be outside you can enjoy coffee on the screened front porch in the morning, and husk corn for dinner or just lounge on the back deck in the afternoon.Your pet will enjoy the view from either porch too. Under the house there is plenty of room for side by side parking, and the kids will enjoy a swing, table and chairs for snacks or games, and concrete pad for their chalk artwork. There's an outdoor shower and hose for rinsing off that sand and sunscreen!

Cleaning fee is included in our rental rates. upon request, linens and bath towels are provided for a nominal fee and we provide a starter kit of paper and plastic supplies - enough paper and plastic supplies to get you through your 1st and 2nd day. Pups between the ages of 1-10 years old are welcome ( max 2), must have all shots. Pet fee is separate and for the entirety of your stay.

Once you cross over the bridge to our small barrier island, leave your work and daily routine behind. Enjoy our wide beach, with it’s south facing gradual slope and gentle waves, bike around the island, or walk west to the Kindred Spirit on the Bird Island Preserve and leave your thoughts in the notebooks found in the mailbox. Check out the island shops, pier and turtle nest talks.

Close to home base, you can enjoy weekly summer concerts in front of the Ingram Planetarium, and visit the shops and restaurants on High Market. On Thursday morning you can visit the Sunset Beach Waterfront Market at the Sunset Beach Park (next to Bill’s Seafood) supporting local producers of homemade and homegrown products. Returning visitors to Sunset will enjoy the Old Bridge Preservation Society,new home of the old pontoon swing bridge since 2010, located almost under the new bridge, near the new public boat ramp.

Off island, Sunset Beach is surrounded by golf courses, pickle ball and tennis courts, as well as fishing and kayaking tours for the entire family.

Nearby Calabash features seafood restaurants along the historic waterfront, other varied restaurants-especially breakfast, and the must see Callahan's Shops.

If you want to stick with your fitness routine, the beach and streets of Sunset Beach are perfect for a run; if you need a group activity, Crossfit OIB and Body Edge are both about 3 miles away.

5 miles up the road check out the Museum of Coastal Carolina and the new Shallotte River Swamp Park, opening June 2015- featuring eco tours and zip lines, something your kids will love!

If you need some city excitement, Myrtle Beach, SC or Wilmington, NC are both close trips for restaurants,entertainment,shopping,cultural and rainy day activities.

Stress-free weekend
Our stay at The Doghouse was excellent. Mary was quick to communicate, answered questions promptly, kept us thoroughly informed, and made us feel welcome. The house is comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen, including a waffle iron! It was a short walk to the beach access and on the quiet end of the beach....we are return guests and will be back.

A terrific beach house
The Dog house was perfect for our family of seven. We were looking for a relaxful week at the beach with the convenience of coming and going and this house delivered. Our kids could easily enjoy walking safely to and from the beach and spent their time off the beach mastering riding their bikes with no hands on the quiet street They loved the Soduku game and played it everyday. The bedrooms were spacious, the downstairs storage for beach supplies were a perfect fit our wagon, stroller and canopy. The best part of the house was the well stocked kitchen. We love to cook our own meals and this house was fit with baking dishes, plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils for our annual shrimp boil and more. It was a perfect beach week!

Comfortable gome close to the beach
My husband and I (along with our small dog) enjoyed our stay. The home is close to the beach and provides good amenities from relaxing on the front screened porch to cooking your favorite meals in the well appointed kitchen. Mary, the host, was responsive, welcoming and accommodating. We will look to stay here again.

Always so comfortable and relaxed
We have stayed here many times over the last 3 years. It is sooo comfortable, relaxed and clean. I can always be guaranteed a good night's sleep in the beds. The view from the sun porch is lovely because even though it's about 5 houses down the street we can still a view of the ocean. Dogs love it, too!

Great location and pet friendly home
Mary,the property owner, is always very friendly and keeps guests apprised of any potential changes to one's stay. Her houskeeper is also very thoughtful and leaves home made cookies and snacks on the counter. I love staying here, and our dog really relaxes in the screened in porch. This is definitely a gem of a rental if you need a pet friendly hone within walking distance to the beach.

Great place to stay!
The place was clean. The only thing I would suggest is to keep basics in the kitchen especially if someone wants to cook. Cooking oil, some spices, aluminum foil, dishwasher tabs. We had some issues with toilet rolls but Mary was quick enough to send them. We met her as she stays down the road. Overall a good place to stay. Dog friendly and less than 10 minutes to the beach.

Perfect Beach Bungalow
Fabulous location, well appointed, clean with all the right amenities. The bedrooms set up with a queen bedroom, 2 twin beds with a bath on each side of the house makes it perfect for 2 small families to share or 1 large one. Sunset Beach is gorgeous, the weather was perfect and the easy walk to the beach is great. Furnishings are dated, but clean and comfortable. I will be back!

Lovely!
We really enjoyed this house and our stay was perfect. The house was equipped with everything we needed to cook our meals so we could spend more time on nice family walks and game playing during our December stay. Personally, I appreciate the nice, wide, sturdy, stairs leading to the front door, the laundry room off of the kitchen rather than downstairs, and, the very accommodating owner.

Great spot for the whole family!
We loved our time at the Doghouse. Many of us hadn’t seen each other since before our little one was born and it was an incredible spot to reconnect and spend quality time together. The house was clean and comfortable with enough space to stretch our legs without overcrowding each other, ideal walking distance to the beach, and close enough to restaurants if we didn’t feel up to cooking. Our kiddo loved finding the plate of fresh baked cookies upon arrival.
