We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sunset Inn. The staff was so great and friendly! We loved our room and ate the delicious breakfast they provided out on our screened-in porch each morning overlooking the marsh. The property was beautiful and quiet. We have a very restful and peaceful visit. We liked that we could rent chairs and umbrellas... More

Just returned from a short weekend visit to Sunset Inn. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The room (we had Oleander) was comfortable and clean. Yes, there is a slight musty smell but I have rarely stayed anywhere on the water that didn't have the same issue. The Inn has air purifiers in the room to help. We enjoyed... More

In the area to attend a relative's 90th birthday party, we wanted accommodations which were nicer than the area chain motels. After researching the internet we determined that the Sunset Inn was that place. The pictures on their website are true representations of the facility and the individual rooms. All the staff go above and beyond to make your stay... More

Loved the views of the salt marsh we had from our private covered porch. We stayed in a standard size room which was very clean and nicely decorated. Very nice details in the room! My only complaint would be the lack of a bathtub...and that is just a personal preference. We thought the staff was very friendly and did a... More

We recently attended a wedding on Sunset Beach and stayed two nights at the Sunset Inn. The inn is within walking distance to Sunset Beach which was very convenient. Our stay in a Grand room was excellent. It is easy to see the Inn is well maintained and Andrea's personal touch made us feel very welcome.

We have stayed at this inn on multiple visits to Sunset Beach. The staff is remarkably stable, efficient, friendly, and accommodating. Location is off beach but is very convenient and only a short walk. Marsh views are gorgeous, especially at sunset and high tide. The building is well maintained and the grounds are full of flowers and shrubs. Breakfast is... More

Thank you for your kind review. We are thrilled that you discovered us and Sunset Beach, NC. It is very rare to get a bad smell from the Marsh and Intracoastal Waterway, but it will happen about three to four times a year at an extreme low tide. When it fills back in at high tide you do not notice... More

We were happy to have you and glad you enjoyed your visit with us. We try to throw in some surprises and extra touches like the popcorn so we love that you took advantage of it. We figured we should not have a complimentary DVD collection without popcorn ;). Take care and hope to see you again real soon! More
