Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We Love this place, and reallize what you folks have gone through over the last year. We had a few needs and you responded very well. one thing, on sunday someone came to clean the pool--they really did not do much, and as the week went on it became very green. I finally called on thursday I think it was, and someone was out immediately and got it all going. There were no chemicals the first time on sunday and he was only there 15 minutes or so. The people on thursday were pro's. Also it would be nice to have a small blower to clean the sand up daily. Thanks as we said we have been there before and depending on the number of guests we hope to be there again. the people at the company were very helpful.

Beautiful view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is incredible and the sunsets beautiful. Conveniently on the beach which is fun for all. Alot of different eating places near by. Some we could walk to which made it helpful for our young adults. But we order groceries and had them delivered to the Unit and cooked a site which saves a lot of costly eating out. Could still see a few signs from the hurricane from last fall but a comfortable place. We had plenty of room for all our family of 7 adults and 3 kids. Having the three different units was very nice when we all retreated for the night.We would rent this again for sure.

2nd time rented

We could've safely stayed through our full rental and then left town safely before hurricane Helene. We were not allowed to make our own choice and had to rush evacuate far before the hurricane even arrived, more than 24 hours before beach sirens went off, and more than 24 hours before they closed any bridges, thankfully we had somewhere to go. Otherwise great! I would wish to have the luxury to make my own, fully experienced and educated choice next time, but we love this property and have enjoyed each stay!!! Would definitely rent thus property again! Communication is great with property management and nobissues other than much too early forced evacuation again!

Great Beach Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was perfect! Not granite and marble, but a perfectly comfortable beach home. The layout was exactly what we needed for a family vacation with our adult children. The pool and outdoor areas were great and being on the beach gave us every option we could possible have asked for. Several restaurants were within walking distance, including the family favorite ice cream store. We would highly recommend this home and look forward to coming back!

Family Vacation 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Sunshine's Hideaway in April 2024 (cousins, grandparents, etc.). There were 13 of us total, including seven children under ten-years-old. The house suited our families perfectly; proximity of the pool, patio area, beach, and ocean were awesome - the property is a destination itself. Lots of room inside and out, and surprisingly quiet/private. Would certainly return! Be prepared to bring some essentials like wash cloths, paper towel, dishwasher detergent, etc., but overall the house was quite well equipped, and was clean on our arrival. Dishwashers, laundry, BBQ, etc. all worked as they should. The heated pool was a big hit with the kids!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Joanie, the property manager, was very helpful and right on top of anything we requested. The location was just what we needed. This was a small family reunion and accommodations suited us just fine. I thought there was one central area and five bedrooms adjacent but it turns out to be 3 separate units which turned out to work for us. Pool and beach and weather all cooperated and it was a week to remember. There are small cosmetic updates that need to be made and I am sure they will be done.

Dirty… broken furniture…. Rats on updeck!!!! Rental agency wasn’t concerned! Couldn’t sit out after dark because of the rats!!! We had our 7 mo th old grandson with us and it was awful!!! Fir the amount of money we paid it was not worth it. I will not be giving the rental agency a good review. I’d rate it a -10. Our check in person messaged us when we arrived on Sat evening and said she would be by and check in with us in the next few days and never heard from her again!!!!! Unbelievable!!!

Beautiful Sunsets and Great for Large Families

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sunshine Hideaway is a great location with beautiful sunsets and plenty of space for a large family gathering. Overall cleanliness was great. We had a great stay and this could easily be a 5 star review. Initial responses to maintenance were addressed quickly and then we did not want any additional service techs to come to house.Definitely needs some very simple repairs that should not be done while guests are at location as the service techs are not friendly and do not want to be bothered to communicate with tenants. Fan and blinds were replaced after requested. The AC in one unit needs repair or replacement. The light fixture in kitchen did not work in this same unit. Pool was never cleaned while we were there even though it is supposed to be done twice weekly. Responses were given on first two days and then no response after this as we requested to not have any other service during our stay.

Wonderful!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was fantastic the reason why I gave 4 stars for overall stay is because every morning there was 3-4 fisherman setup and spread in front of our house. Which meant we couldn’t get in the ocean in front of our rental unless we wanted to get hooked, sometimes they didn’t leave until 1-2pm. But other than that the stay was great!

Nice Outdoor Area

The outdoor area and pool was very nice. So close to the beach it was easy to walk back for bathroom breaks and food. Pool was very dirty with sand, not sure if that’s a normal thing with beach pools. This house is essentially 3 apartments next to each other, which was hard for me to discern in the description. No “apartments” are accessible to each other without going outside. We needed something a little more together than the way it was set up. But it may work for another family. Unit B’s bathtub was clogged with hair that we had to remove in order for it to drain properly and overall the apartment just wasn’t clean. Smelled musty with dirty surfaces. We did have a nice time with family and enjoying the beach and outdoor area but the inside was not worth the money paid. We will not be staying in this house again.

Great for large families, needs upkeep and cleaning

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. We went in a multi-family, multi-generational vacation and this house was perfect for that.Pros: Separate living spaces, but room to come togetherDirect beach accessHeated pool Quiet beachBeach towels provided Plenty of outside chairs (16+)Washer & dryers Provided trash bags, dishwasher tabs, TP and paper towels Cons:Does not have gas grill as described, it was charcoal which we were not prepared for. The grill itself was extremely dirty and we did not feel comfortable preparing food on it so we bought a small charcoal grill when we were out getting charcoal. Only 1 unit has a keurig, not all. But they do all have drip coffee makers.The floor under the table in unit C was dirty and full of crumbs upon arrival. There were long black hair stuck to the wall above the towel bar in the downstairs bathroom of unit CThere were ghost ants in the kitchen and living room of Unit B. The management did take care of it but that meant our vacation was interrupted by cleaning people and then a big guy that we had to tend to.The pool was not heating properly but management had the pool guy come back to adjust that and then it was fine. We had to stop using the pool while he cleaned and shocked it. Again we were interrupted. There are no working outside yard lights so once the sun goes down (6pm) we could not use the outside. The ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms in unit B did not work. The microwave in Unit C was rusted on the inside of the door and the outside of the door was cracked. The dishwasher in C door was broken and it just falls to the floor. All of the beds are doubles and can be very tight when you’re used to anything bigger. All guests said their beds were uncomfortable to sleep on as well. (Except for children)Unit B had long black hairs on the bathroom floor and in bathtub.No stoppers in the tubs to give bathsI coul

Our family of 13 enjoyed our stay at Sunshine’s Hideaway. The downside was the cold spell with temps in the 40’s, but the kids still enjoyed the heated pool every day!
