Great beach house! The place was very clean, had plenty of bedrooms, and the kitchen was really well set up with everything we needed. You’re just steps from the beach, which was awesome. We also really appreciated the QR codes posted throughout the house with clear instructions….it made everything super easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Rising Sun was perfect for a beach weekend for the whole family. The house comfortably fit me and my husband, his 3 siblings and their spouses, his grandmother, and two 3 month old babies! We had plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time together whether it be on the deck, spread out on the couches, or at the large table enjoying meals together. Our favorite part, other than the amazing views, was the private walkway out to the beach (it’s a shorter walk than it looks in pictures) and the fact that we were just a quick walk back to the house when the babies were ready to go inside. We stayed at the house the whole weekend but went out to dinner Saturday night, and there are plenty of great restaurants around. We couldn’t have found a better rental and will definitely try to book Rising Sun again for our next vacation!

Beachfront Family Fun

The house fit the needs of 2 families with 2 kids each and the grandparents! We had a great time and the walk to the beach was easy for those walking and the drive for the gear haulers was equally as easy!

On the Beach

The property location on Crescent Beach is ideal. Beautiful sunrises, gentle waves and lots of beach to walk on and play in. The kitchen, living area and deck provide nice views of the dunes and ocean. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking for large groups.
