Everything about the house was great. we had a wonderful time staying at the property. I wish the weather had cooperated but the house being so nice and well maintained made all the difference. Lots of well done upgrades and little things to make everyone feel at home.

So special to spend time at Sunset in this beautiful, vintage beach cottage! It has been wonderfully renovated while keeping the original character from the 1960s. Brand new furnishings and updated bathrooms. Easy access to boardwalk. Perfect location to watch the sunrise from the back porch. We will definitely be back :)

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Johnson

Host profile image
We both are North Carolina natives. We enjoy spending time with our large family, boating, reading, traveling and watching our grands play competitive sports. Hosting gives us an opportunity to share the cottage with others and make new friends.

Why they chose this property

Sunset Beach is truly a slice of paradise. Sunset is the smallest of NC barrier islands. It’s truly a gem with a family environment. We chose center island for its convenient and accessibility to the island shops, pier and beautiful beach. The cottage built in 1960 is said to be 1 of the first 8 houses built on the island.

What makes this property unique

We have completely renovated our home and furnished it as if we were living there. Hopefully you will enjoy your time and make wonderful memories with your family and friends.
