@ Ocean Front Guest Friendly Home "An Emerald On The Beach"

The Grey Dolphin is a very cozy but spacious house. In there you can organize your family reunion or staying in a peaceful house, enjoying the beach and nature that Sunset Beach and around offer.

This house counts with comfortable rooms that sleep 14 people,

It has four (4) bedrooms upstairs with Jack and Jill bathroom.

Room 1: King bed

Room 2: Twin & Queen.

Room 3: Queen.

Room 4: Twin & Queen.

Living Area: A half bathroom.

GROUND FLOOR

With a private downstairs entrance, is Room 5: Bedroom with a queen and a pair of bunk beds. It has a dedicated full Bath ( this room doesn´t have access to the Living area)

This house is very close to the town, where you can rent kayaks and bikes and walk to the boardwalk and see the sun drowning in the water.

You can check the few shops that are in town, there you can buy souvenirs and ice cream.

Everyone asks us how close the beach from the house is, well is as closest as it can be, the boardwalk that brings you to the beach is next to our house 😉.

As you can see in our amenities, we provide a long list of things to love your time inside and outside the house, from kitchen supplies to beach chairs and beach toys. You are welcome to use them.

Remember this is a family house so please take care of the stuff. We try to update our house supplies and furniture very often to offer you always the best of the best.

Unfortunately, for the pet lovers, we do not accept them, not because we don’t love them, but to keep the house clean for the next guests. Also, we are smoke-free.

At the end and before every staying, a professional cleaner comes to clean and disinfect the whole house and stocking the house for the next guests.

Even though we, the owners, are not in Sunset Beach, we are one call, text, or email away for any assistant you need and if you need assistance, we have local people ready to help.

Never been to Sunset Beach before and this was the perfect spot to get acquainted with the area. Convenient to pier and public access. House was clean and kitchen was well equipped.

Great Time
You cannot beat the beach access from this house, and sitting on the balcony/screened porch with the cool ocean breeze blowing was our absolute favorite. Our combined families of 12 people slept very comfortably here, and the kitchen was the most well-stocked of any VRBO we’ve been to. Thermostat broke while we were there, and property maintenance man had it replaced the same day we called. Would definitely stay again.

The house was a great size for our family of 10 adults and kids. Best feature was the GREAT screened porch. It was big, well-furnished and well-shaded all day long. I love to cook and the kitchen was furnished much better than most rentals with utensils, cutting boards and good-quality cookware, The beach area was very nice as well. Not too crowded, a gentle slope good for the kids, and fine firm sand great for bike-riding. I would definitely recommend and return!

We spent a great week at the Grey Dolphin. The proximity to the beach is great. The kitchen is well stocked. We prepared several dinners and it had everything I needed. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. Any inquiry I had was quickly answered. We loved the outdoor shower for rinsing off after a hot, sandy day at the beach.

Amazing stay!
This house was perfect for our 2-family vacation. Everything was spotless on check-in, and the appliances all seemed new. I texted the owner a couple of times with minor questions, and the response time was almost immediate. The location is perfect, right on the beach access and a very short walk to the shops and the pier. We especially enjoyed Sunset Slush for the best Italian Ice I've ever had, and the Island Market has great T-shirts, basic grocery items, and super-friendly people working there. We even met Chikka, the owner's adorable rescue dog. The house is extremely-well-equipped for vacationers. Beach toys, chairs, umbrella, and cart are provided, making the walk down to the beach a lot easier. There's a place to rinse your feet when you come up from the beach, and there's also a fully-enclosed outdoor shower with excellent water pressure. The screened porch was amazing, and we watched a beautiful thunderstorm from it one night. The attention to detail inside the house was also wonderful, with boxes of Kleenex in every room, a nightlight in each bathroom, and a fully stocked first aid kit in the living room. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, including brand-new oven mitts and salt and pepper. I really liked the way laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were all provided. This is definitely one of the best houses I've ever rented, and I highly recommend it!

Sunset Beach Get A Way
Overall it was as very good experience. The property is as listed. GREAT location on the beach. The house is immediately adjacent to the beach path so you are as close as you can be to the water - less than a one minute walk. There is a convince store, coffee bar and ice cream store that are a two minute walk from the property. All of the amenities on the property were as advertised and worked as promised. Our party did find some of the signage in the house off-putting. Many items are tagged with the cost if lost or damaged - Beach Chair, $60 if missing, SpikeBall, $40 if missing. We understand that missing or damaged items will need to be replaced by the renters but it does smack of a college spring break house rather than the family vacation that we took.

Wonderful location and perfect house for a family
We loved our time at this house! It was a perfect layout for a family, including a separate entrance for the downstairs bedroom that gave that person more privacy. The beach was just a short walk and the house is also close to entrance road to the bridge, where there was an ice cream shop, perfect for the kids. The hosts were great at communicating and very responsive to questions. We’ll definitely be back!

The Grey Dolphin was very clean and well stocked, just as it was described in the rental information. The bedding was especially nice and very comfy. The inside living area is not overly spacious, but the screened-in porch on the oceanside of the house is fantastic and adds significant space for relaxation and time together. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom are very clean with great temp control. We had an excellent stay and definitely recommend this vrbo rental.

Too cozy for big family, narrow kitchen
This was a family trip with eight grandkids age18 to 6 mos and six adults, our first trip to Sunset Beach. Very different from other North Carolina beaches. Houses are set farther back, everything is a bit longer walk, and no real ocean view. That being said we were right on the access near the pier which helped but lacks privacy, Always hearing people below our windows. Being on the public access also means it can be very crowded especially since it was Fourth of July. Leaving our house was not convenient so we were Thankful for Publix delivery!!!! If we come back to Sunset, I would pick a place further down the beach Away from the pier. This is not a lifeguarded area so you really need to keep your eyes on the kids. The Current pulls them quickly towards the pier which is dangerous. appreciated the booster seat, pack and play, lots of sand toys and beach games available.(along with posted replacement cost!) However, the kitchen was not very kid friendly. There was no plastic glasses or plates and the Dishes were Very heavy, Actually the dishwasher door was broken, and would drop without notice catching me in the shin. At one point the bottom tray fell out with the heavy dishes. Can’t believe nothing broke! We gave up and bought paper plates. Maintenance came out and offered to come back to try to repair it but acknowledged it really just needed to be replaced completely. so hopefully that’s being done. The kitchen was very narrow, we joked it was a “1 butt kitchen only”! Yet it is advertised as a large kitchen. Lots of pots and pans, but no organization to them so we were constantly digging through the cabinets To find what we needed. On the plus side, the house had beds to fit our group of 13, and the beds were pretty comfortable. You need to be aware that the downstairs bedroom has a completely separate entrance. We had a responsible teenager in charge of the kids in that room and it worked okay but we ended up leaving a door unlocked all night so that they could come upstairs if needed . The living area was cozy. Not really enough room for everyone to sit and watch a movie together, which our group liked to do. But there were extra chairs so we could pile around the kitchen table when we had family games. Admit we had a conflict early, a couple of our teens tried to “help out” and offered parking in our driveway…. We Appreciate mot getting sent home early! Overall had a good week but wouldnt rent this house again for this group

The property was very clean, and the layout perfect for our family size and ages. Decorated to make us feel at home on the beach. The porch was awesome. There to celebrate a surprise 80th birthday with extended family(like a reunion). Most all siblings, nieces/nephews also rented a property at Sunset Beach, but we had the best location.

Great Stay Close to Beach
We stayed for a week with another family (4 adults and 4 younger kids total). It was the perfect-sized place for us. Location is great, right on the dunes and a direct walk to the beach (keep in mind the dunes are pretty big at Sunset so it's still a 3-4 min walk if you are with kids or carrying lots of stuff). It was our first time at Sunset Beach and we loved it. Definitely recommend this house!
