About this house rental

Welcome to Grateful Dunes! It’s a second-row house - right across the street from the beach access. It’s laid out with a central open floor plan, so that you can talk with family in the living room while cooking in the kitchen. On each side of the big central room, there’s a suite of 2 bedrooms, connected by a bathroom, perfect for families or friends. We're always improving the house - we recently added a new fridge and microwave, did some painting, and created a shuffleboard court
INDOOR LIVING:
The kitchen is well-stocked because we live here - with good knives and cutting boards, coffee paraphernalia, and fun stuff like a panini maker, a whirly pop (which will forever spoil you for microwave popcorn), and of course a blender and toaster and lots of good pots and pans. And we've installed a new gas range, and a reverse-osmosis water purification system.

We’ve put a lot of thought into making the house family friendly, including:
- a wall of bookshelves, fully stocked with books for adults and kids
- a stereo system and some records and CDs
- lots of games and cards and puzzles and art supplies
- a low cabinet with plastic plates and cups, so the kids can get their own snacks
- a 5-gallon water cooler, so the kids can get their own drinks,
- a tea party set
- a portable crib and high chair
- cleaning supplies stored on a high shelf, out of reach of little ones
- new washer and dryer

Bring your own sheets and towels - or we can recommend a local linen rental service.

OUTDOOR LIVING:
- right across the street from the beach access!
- a big shady porch deck with lots of comfy seating,
- since we’re on Main Street, there’s great people-watching.
- an outdoor shower,
- a picnic table with benches,
- a Weber grill.
- beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, skim boards, noodles, inflatables, umbrellas, and a cart to carry it all in,
- shaded shuffleboard court in the carport!

PLEASE NOTE: This house is a top/bottom duplex; the rental is the lower half. We have just fulfilled a lifetime dream of moving to Sunset Beach, and we’re delighted to have found a house that we can share with guests, while we move upstairs to the “crow's nest” level. So if you need help replacing the water cooler bottle, or want a knitting lesson or recommendations for the best fish market or organic farm market, you only have to text us. But don’t worry, even though we’ll be upstairs, there’s a big empty space between your lodgings and our space on the third floor - because there's no second floor! So there's lots of privacy - we won't hear you, and you won't hear us.

Very nice property. We enjoyed our stay, even though we had a member of our party with a health emergency. Good setup for the vacation. Especially enjoyed the front porch!

Grateful Dunes has once again not disappointed. The house is perfect for a family and visiting friends- spacious, warm, inviting. The hosts make sure little things are there that make living away from home easier-- from sandwich bags to sponges... shampoo in the outside shower (& we passed along full bottles to pay it forward)... paper supplies, laundry detergent... any kitchen pot/pan/appliance you need... to a water dispenser and 5 gallon jugs refilled and waiting.. to games, crafts, and beach chairs.. Atop all that is the kindness and hospitality of the owners, who live upstairs. All this and pet friendly so our dog was a part of our memories here!! Grateful Dunes- we will be back again next year!! there is no need to look anywhere else and our family/friends beach time has landed it's traditional meeting spot on your cozy covered patio!! thank you Yitzy and Rosie!!
