About this property

Custom built beach home with a private pool!

We welcome you as guests to our custom built home! Our house is one of the few houses on the island that features a pool. After a long day at the beach or instead of a day at the beach float around and relax in the pool. We are just a 2 minute walk to the beach access right at the end of our street. At the west end of Sunset Beach we are close to the end of the island with easy access to Bird Island, a reserve with pristine sandy white beaches, high natural dunes and more than 1200 acres of beautiful salt marsh and tidal creeks. Visit the sacred and peaceful Kindred Spirit mailbox there and leave a note in the journal or sit and read notes from others. Our 2700 square foot home features a reverse floor plan with the kitchen/living/dining area on the upper floor with hickory hardwood flooring throughout, tile bathrooms, quartz kitchen countertops and granite bathroom vanity countertops. Our custom wood paneled elevator stops at each floor and is just a few feet from the kitchen for the convenience of unloading groceries. Two decks on the front of the house have 12 rocking chairs (6 on each deck) to relax and enjoy the breeze. Two ceiling fans on the upper deck add to the relaxing breezes. Bed linens, bath mats and kitchen towels are provided but GUESTS MUST BRING BATH TOWELS AND BEACH TOWELS. Our home features 5 bedrooms with a ceiling fan and private full bathroom in each and an additional half bath. Hair dryers are provided in each bathroom. 2 bedrooms have king beds, 2 bedrooms have queen beds, and the 5th bedroom has 2 sets of custom built in bunk beds. The lower beds are larger: a queen and a full. The upper bunks are 1 twin and 1 extra long twin. The bunk bed room has a book light at each bed and a USB outlet at each bed with 2 charger ports. This bunk bed room would be comfortable for adults as well as children. There are 2 dressers and 4 drawers under the beds for storage along with a closet. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. All bedrooms are equipped with 4 USB outlets, two on each side of each bed for your convenience. No need to bring the square chargers just bring the cords. Two sets of washer/dryers allows for multiple families to complete wash simultaneously. One laundry room is in main hallway and the second laundry room is (large regular size stackable units) in master bedroom closet. The large kitchen has custom cabinetry, a touch faucet, a French door refrigerator with bottom pull out freezer drawer, an extra beverage refrigerator, a double oven with glass top stove, fully stocked cabinets, a large pantry, a Keurig coffee maker and regular coffee pot. The extra large dining table seats 12 with 3 extra bar stools at the counter peninsula. Lots of room for dining, playing games or cards or building puzzles. The high white washed cathedral ceilings in the great room and kitchen give an open coastal feel to the house. Unlimited hot water is always available for all 6 showers (5 inside and 1 outside) from 2 Rinnai tankless water heaters. Our home features a keyless entry with the ability for you to choose your own code. No keys to lose! We welcome you to make lots of vacation memories here!

Best house at Sunset Beach

We’ve been staying at Sunset Beach for decades and You Are My Sunshine is hands down the best house on the island. The owners have thought of everything. Communication with owners was wonderful. Cannot wait to stay here again!

The Best House at Sunset!

We have been coming to Sunset for more than 20 years. This house is aptly named, You are My Sunshine! We loved every square inch of this beautiful home. The owners are lovely and responsive. They have infused this home with so much joy and it was a perfect setting for our annual trip.

Great time!

Our family loved our stay! We had the best weather and the home was perfect! Well stocked beautifully decorated. We especially loved the welcome basket and made use of many of the items. My mother was very relieved to have an elevator as she is only a few months out from knee surgery. Thank you for sharing your wonderful house!

Perfection!

This home and beach are the best. The house suited our needs beautifully. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen and dining areas more than accommodated our large family. The kitchen was so well stocked with all the amenities (we cook in every meal) and an extra washer/dryer was definitely a plus. Needles to say, everyone, particularly the kids, loved the pool. The beach goers loved how the beach access was only a few minutes away. We can't wait to return!

Sunset Delight

Absolutely lovely property which was perfect for our family vacation. Very well equipped and plenty of space with a wonderful kitchen and dining area. The beach was easy to walk to and there were plenty of beach toys suitable for all the children. The pool was a real hit and so nice for us all to enjoy. The lookout for the sunsets was just round the corner so we enjoyed that each evening.Would thoroughly recommend this for anyone wanting to go to Sunset beach.

Well-equipped and carefully appointed house - best we've seen in 30 years of vacation rentals

Our extended family (11 of us) enjoyed all of the details here. A full complement of cooking gear, appliances (waffle maker!) and spices made vacation delicious. The pool and beach cart and chairs were great additions, as was the elevator and accessible ramp at 40th street. The mattresses were even great! From hanging out on the deck to dancing in the kitchen to puzzling at the table, relaxation and fun abounded. The week flew by, and we can't wait to do it all again.

Family Trip Full of Sunshine

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect home for our family trip to Sunset Beach. Beautiful decor, awesome views, and plenty of accommodations for our party of 12 ranging in age from 12-80! Jill was the quintessential hostess, with clear directions, recommendations for local must-dos, and immediate responses to our communication. When a lightning strike rendered the elevator unusable, and the main door lock glitched, repairs were scheduled immediately and were completed quickly. We LOVED the pool, the large kitchen and dining area - perfect for big family suppers and game nights. It's hard to leave this little slice of heaven!

Great Family Property

This is a beautiful, spotless, comfortable, quiet, well stocked, bright place. Perfect for large families, master on the 3rd floor with the kitchen/living area and each bedroom (2nd floor) having it's own bathroom. Nice pool for a break from the beach which is just a short walk away. Elevator came in handy for hauling up luggage/groceries and was easy to use. Kitchen had everything. We would highly recommend this place if you need a lot of room. Did I mention spotless, one of the cleanest houses we've rented through VRBO. Owner was amazingly helpful and easy to reach, pretty much instant responses to emails or texts. Quiet neighborhood also.

The Perfect House

We have been renting houses for 37 years as a large family. We are use to paying big bucks for a house with five to seven bedrooms. Never before have we had a house with EVERYTHING! The owners have thought of things we didn't. You can go there and only take your clothes. They even had a welcome basket to say hello! I was in contact with the owner several times with questions. She never made me feel like I should know the answer. She was wonderful! The only downside was no ocean view. That is true of most houses in Sunset beach. Lots of beach though. You are my sunshine is the perfect house! You will not be disappointed.

Best Beach House☀️

Where do I even begin? My family and my sister’s family (total of 9 people) originally had our vacation planned in Rosemary Beach, FL during Memorial Day week. Because of Covid 19, our beach house rental was cancelled a week before our arrival date. My sister and I scrambled to find ANY beach destination that had opened back up for rentals! We are SO GRATEFUL we found “You Are My Sunshine” in Sunset Beach, NC! Jill was wonderful to work with and fortunately had availability for the same week we needed. THIS HOUSE IS AMAZING!! Every single detail was carefully thought out and it’s very apparent so much love was poured into this beach house so that EVERY family who visits can create long-lasting memories. Here are a few of our favorite things: The open air space underneath the house is perfect for rainy days and playing cornhole, hanging your Enos/hammocks, chilling in the Adirondack chairs, etc; The pool is perfect for days you don’t feel like getting sandy at the beach; The outside shower is so convenient; The elevator is a game changer when it comes to bringing up groceries and luggage! It took us a day or so to get used to it but after that, we used it everyday; Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a luxury, and the USB ports and TVs in each bedroom was a nice touch. Also, the beds were very comfortable; The kitchen had EVERY POSSIBLE APPLIANCE, UTENSIL, and SELECTION OF POTS, PANS & DISHES you could ever want! The pantry was great and the separate beverage cooler was so convenient for how many waters, Gatorades and diet Dr. Peppers our family goes through; The dining room table was the perfect size for our family, and we made so many memories eating home cooked meals, laughing til our belly’s hurt, and playing Bingo, Boggle and card games around this table; The sectional sofa in the family room was so comfy and fit all 9 of us on it; the 2 sets of washers and dryers made it super easy for our 2 families to keep up with washing clothes and towels throughout the week. And did I mention how stunningly beautiful...inside and out...this house is?!?! The decor is even better in person! We truly fell in love with this house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to vacation in Sunset Beach! We are hopeful that we’ll be able to return each summer to enjoy this home. Jill thought of EVERYTHING and though we have never met her, she feels like family:-). THANK YOU JILL for the blessing of enjoying your beautiful “Sunshine House.”

Fun in the ‘Sunshine’

We rented this awesome house May 22-29, 2021 for the reunion of our whole family -which has grown so much the past few years- there was never any hope of staying in our own Sunset Beach condo back on 27th St! Daughters in from Dubai, Colorado Springs,CO and Atlanta ,GA as well as sons-in-laws and 2 grandsons made for a full house! We are very late in submitting this review but happy to give a glowing report! The owners were highly proactive and super responsive in all our communication pre-vaca. We received timely detailed Instructions for our check-in and out and their security technology made it easy. Jill and Jim have thought of every conceivable need anyone would ever have for a perfect beach vacation. The kitchen is huge - 10 people can be in it all at once. This house is set much higher in elevation on 38th St. so the entire western sky is visible over the rooftops from the kitchen window. Beautiful views to catch the famous cotton-candy sunsets without leaving the house! The extra drink fridge below the coffee bar was a lifesaver. Check out Jill’s fun coffee mug collection! “Which one will I choose today?”The fully-stocked bright Kitchen along with the 12 person dining table ends up being the hang out place more so than any TV. Great rocking chair front porches. The ambiance of this house is clean, bright and upscale. Their custom info/guest books with pictures and welcome basket are a personal touch not usually found.. Our 2 1/2 year old grandson learned to swim that week in -according to their pool maintenance company -“the best pool on Sunset Beach.” Had everything we needed -Pool and beach toys, chairs, and games all supplied. Only a short 2 minutes to walk to ocean access. The attention to detail that the owners have in their house show they truly care about their renter’s experience. We enjoyed their house so much that we ended up adopting their plan for our future build on Sunset Beach. Perhaps that’s the greatest compliment of all to owners Jill and Jim! Thanks so very much for sharing your beautiful beach house with others.

Gorgeous Beach House

You Are My SunShine is not only a gorgeous home but it is in a perfect spot that is just a short walk to the beach. The home is fully stocked with anything and everything you should need. It is more than clear that the owners want their renters to have the best time. When we arrived they even had a welcome basket and little extra touches throughout the home. The home owner Jill stayed in close contact before and during our stay. She was always so nice and honestly the best home owner I’ve had the pleasure of booking with. We would definitely stay in this home again!!

Sunshine on the Beach

We have been vacationing at Sunset Beach for 27 years... we have stayed in many homes, mostly oceanfront homes. This home is truly the nicest. The kitchen is fully stocked, and having 2 laundry rooms means less packing! The pool is perfect for those who do not like sand... yes we have some of those! The interior is decorated just as the pictures online show. Everything about this home is amazing!! Lastly, the interactions with the owner are always friendly and helpful... they care about their home and the guests as well. I'm positive we will be spending many more years at this home... already booked next summer!

Gorgeous home with everything needed for a perfect family vacation!

This house is absolutely gorgeous! Each room is wonderfully, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is very spacious and fully equipped with appliances, utensils, pots and pans and everything you could possibly need to feed a large group. We spent a week there with three families, including 6 adults, 6 young adults, and two small children. We were able to easily move within the house, sharing time together, as well as enough space to get away for a little quiet time. The pool was wonderfully refreshing after spending a day on the beach. It is obvious the time and care Jill and Jim spent on making this beach home just right! In addition, Jill was so helpful in providing information about the area and her special touches (including homemade bookmarks and a welcome basket) were so thoughtful. Highly recommend!

Lovely beach house! Nothing was left out from fully stocked kitchen too extra beach chairs & wagon.

We have been vacationing at Sunset Beach for over 45 years. This is by far the best house we have ever rented. The owners are awesome, response time to questions are immediately and they make sure all is going well during your stay. Cannot say enough good things about the owners! House is decorated immaculately and beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans and all the extras. Mini frig for drinks is an extra bonus also. The pool is a nice added feature too. Also have extra chairs to sit around pool and enjoy everyone’s company. The corn hole boards got a workout and even had a game against the neighbors. Would recommend this house highly (just not the week we rent it 😊). Best stay at Sunset and we will be back next year! GREAT HOUSE! Thank you for sharing your home. Sherri Hickam Hendersonville, TN

About the host

Hosted by Jill and Jim

Host profile image
Jill grew up with wonderful memories of vacationing in SSB starting in 1982. We would rent the same house every year for two weeks of loud family fun with lots of laughing, eating, watching movies on the VCR, playing at the beach and most importantly making memories. Jim was introduced to SSB in 1995 and joined in with all the family fun. We made the switch from renters to homeowners in 2008. Since then we have started our own family and introduced our son to SSB when he was just three months old. In 2017 we built our dream home and we continue to share our experiences with family and friends. We hold close the memories we have made in the past with the loved ones we have lost. SSB will always be a special place like no other in our hearts.

We built our dream vacation home on this quiet family friendly street at the west end of the island. This ideal location is close to the beach and allows for a private pool which is not permitted on the oceanfront. It is close to the end of the island allowing for peaceful walks and bike rides to bird island.
