The pictures on the website don’t do the home justice. It’s truly beautiful inside, with a new couch, screened in porch, nice sized kitchen, comfortable beds, 5 minute walk from the beach.

“Updated Propery” needs updating

Communication with property owner and check in was accurate and concise. We arrived to a house in absolutely deplorable shape. Counters were covered in spilled drink, food and sand all over floors, garbage overflowing and bathrooms were horrendous with urine all over seats, floors, body hair all over toilets, sinks, and showers. After spending 60 in cleaning supplies and 3 hours later is was somewhat decent to stay at. Blood spots, bodily fluid stains all over the beds, so bad that our group slept in sleeping bags on the beds and had to use camping gear for better sanitary conditions than the bedding we arrived to.Listing claims there is a hot tub, there is none, dryer has no heating element, you take your life in your own hands going up to the roof deck with the amount of rotten wood.Did get a hold of the property owner after multiple attempts, they apologized for lack of cleanliness, but even with a cleaning the furnishings were super rough.Loved Sunset Beach, location was good - renter beware or alternatively you might want to get a penicillin shot after your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Bethea

Host profile image
I was raised in North Carolina but after making a career of the USAF all of my children squatted in northern Virginia, with my grand children, so I'm stuck except when I get to enjoy beautiful Sunset Beach, NC and we do that as often as we can. Bill Bethea

Why they chose this property

Its a nice quiet family beach but close enough to Myrtle Beach, S.C. if we need a hit with night life or amusements for the children.
