The Sunset Inn was a very comfortable and relaxing stay. From the screened in porch overlooking the marsh, we watched the sun rise and sunset. Very good coffee available in the morning as well as coffee maker in the room. Tasty breakfasts.
Temperature control was easy, heating and cooling. Nice walk to beach. On the first level, the Inn has 2 full showers with soap and shampoo, and each room has a storage room for beach equipment so no sand is tracked to around. We loved Sunset Beach. There is a small sandwich shop in a convenient store and a couple places for ice cream, otherwise you have to go across the bridge but anything you would want is within 5 miles.
Definitely will be back.

Beyond our expectations
Posted 15 May 2024 on HotelsSouthern hospitality at its finest. The staff could t be any friendlier or more accommodating. Each of the charming 14 rooms comes with its own storage unit where we were able to stow our bicycles and beach chairs. We loved sitting on the screened in porch overlooking tent marsh and watching the birds. It was a wonderful experience.

This was a good stay but leading up it was a little bizarre. I received the confirmation email and an email from the property with all of the check-in details, but also received emails from the property to provide an email with this message:
Please call us with your email, or email us at ----@--------.--- with your email address. Thank you!
Now how was I supposed to email them back? So, I messaged the hotel that in order to email them outside of the site, I needed an email address because the site didn't allow their email address to go through. They sent the exact same message.
When they called (so they had my phone number, but not my email?), I didn't feel the "southern charm". They were obviously frustrated with me and I thought they should've been frustrated with themselves...They could have texted me with any questions, like "What is your email address?". And most people that I know, can't interrupt their business day to check personal emails or answer random calls from strange numbers.
Other than this, the stay was nice. It's a no frills place but the location is excellent; one turn and you walk down one street to the beach access. Once you're there, the staff works hard to be nice.
I like that the parking lot had wide parking spaces so that others couldn't ding your car taking out luggage. It's in a neighborhood, so you have to drive to dinner. There is a grocery store walking distance away, but no restaurants. The rooms all have views of the marsh.

I am sorry we had issues getting in touch with you. This is an Expedia issue as they unfortunately do not allow us to view your email address and the same on your end for our email address. It's always easier for us to email direct so this is why we requested your email. Also, we do not have the capability to text from our office phone and do not prefer to use our personal cell phones. We are happy you enjoyed your visit once here and hope you will return. Thank you!

I have stayed here many times. As a female solo traveler I feel safe and like one of the family. The staff couldn’t be friendlier and the rooms are always comfortable and quiet.
