We had a great weekend stay at The Doghouse. Rooms were clean and house was comfortable and fully equipped. A sweet note from the host along with fresh baked cookies was a nice welcome. It was a short walk to the beach and convenient to other places to visit.

We really enjoyed this house and our stay was perfect. The house was equipped with everything we needed to cook our meals so we could spend more time on nice family walks and game playing during our December stay. Personally, I appreciate the nice, wide, sturdy, stairs leading to the front door, the laundry room off of the kitchen rather than downstairs, and, the very accommodating owner.

It was a great house and location for our family Thanksgiving weekend.

We loved our time at the Doghouse. Many of us hadn’t seen each other since before our little one was born and it was an incredible spot to reconnect and spend quality time together. The house was clean and comfortable with enough space to stretch our legs without overcrowding each other, ideal walking distance to the beach, and close enough to restaurants if we didn’t feel up to cooking. Our kiddo loved finding the plate of fresh baked cookies upon arrival.

Mary has a beautiful, bright clean home. It made us feel right at home with coziness and modern decor. The dog pictures added to the charm. And we appreciated that size didn’t matter when it came to our dogs. Gems like this home are hard to find. We will def rent again when we come to Brunswick county to visit family. A wonderful short walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood was also enjoyed amongst us all.

We were 6 adults, 2 kids and two small dogs sharing this house. First off location can’t be beat!! Half block away from the water. The house was perfect for us. Loved the front porch and the outdoor shower is a great feature with a large group. Yes house is dated but was clean and met all our requirements. Mary was great at communication and was a perfect host. It’s a rarity for our entire family to be together and The Dog House allowed us to have a wonderful and very memorable time together. Thank you Mary for that! Hope we can do it again!

We had an amazing time. The location was great and the house was super clean. The communication with the property owner was great and the welcome basket was a nice surprise! The house itself was perfect. There was some wear and tear to some of the cosmetics of the house but that is expected of an older house and it did not have any impacts to our stay. We would definitely stay here again, highly recommended!

Great time at Sunset Beach. Cottage was just as described. Easy Check in/out, Linens/Towels, Stocked Kitchen, Super Clean. Just a short walk to the beach. Located on a quiet street. We enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and rocking in the chairs underneath the cottage. Perfect place to relax. Highly recommend.

The property was great. Mary was very helpful and also provided goodies at check in. This was our first stay at Sunset Beach and won’t be our last. The house was an easy walk to the beach and to the main road to get on the island. We rented bikes at Julie’s Rentals which is also a great coffee shop. We walked to the Trading Post a couple of evenings to get ice cream after dinner. We also visited Bird Island which is a few short blocks from the house. The house was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the screenedm in porch. It was a great week!

House was lovely and located in the quiet end of Sunset Beach. The short walk to the beach was wonderful.

This was a fabulous property! The location was ideally located within walking distance of a really beautiful beach. The floorplan of the house is great for a family or 4 couples or individuals with 2 bedrooms and a bath on each side of the house, and the living/kitchen area in the middle.
We loved sitting on the screened in porch, but there is also a nice back deck. The neighborhood is very nice and we felt safe walking to an from the beach even at night. The cottage was very clean, and all of the basic necessities were provided. Mary, the owner/manager was great about communication and very accomodating to our needs. I would definitely stay at this property again!

This was our very first trip to sunset beach and we will without a doubt be going back again next year! We traveled with our 4 kiddos, 2 dogs and 2 grandparents and everyone had plenty of space in this home. The home was lovely and well cleaned when we got there. The kids especially love the cookies and snacks left on the counter and I loved the handwritten note welcoming us! I would highly recommend this house to anyone.

As most anyone reading this will know. Sunset Beach is superduper. What you might not know is what a pleasure it was to be there at Thanksgiving.
The house is great, a fresh update to the traditional NC 4-corner bedroom / center living room design. Skylights! A nice welcome pack, really fast communications with our pre-arrival questions, and a handful of chairs & beach toys were available. A tree in the back yard helped mitigate the closeness of back door neighbors, and front & back decks were a pleasure. I found it on account of it being dog friendly and would stay again.

This property was perfect for our stay at Sunset Beach this year! The Dog House was very clean and had all the things we could have needed on our stay! The beds were super comfortable and we loved how open the kitchen, living room area was! Perfect for families with toddlers! There were several toys and umbrellas to take to the beach, which was perfect because we did not pack any and did not have to purchase any while on our stay!
Mary, our host/owner was super helpful and the communication was superb! There was even a little care package and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies! These were perfect for the kids upon our arrival, they ate cookies while we unloaded and settled! I ate one as well! Thank you so much Mary and vrbo for making our family vacation to Sunset wonderfully magnificent!!! We would absolutely stay at The Dog House again!

The pictures didn't do it justice, it was beautiful and cozy on the inside. It was a small walk to the beach, but that didn't really bother anyone. Mary was quick to respond with any questions that I had and very personable. All in all one of the best vacations I have taken.

Bright and cheerful interior, comfortable, good amenities, close walk to the beach. Also liked how one of the full baths was a separate room vs some that have jack and Jill bathrooms on both sides. Enjoyed the outside shower, too. Would definitely stay here again!
