Beach Hugger 2 - Newly remodeled, charming beach front bungalow!

Please be aware that our beautiful beach town did experience damage from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Our community is working quickly to restore beaches, businesses, and properties. Local experts currently estimate that the beginning of 2025 will offer an excellent travel experience for our valued guests. Please book with confidence for 2025 stay dates! Our availability calendars are up to date, and we anticipate our area to be majorly restored by Jan 1st, 2025.

If you are looking to stay for the remainder of 2024, our availability calendar will be up to date and we would love to host you. Please be aware that you may experience less amenities, some intermittent beach inaccessibility due to ongoing restoration, and less restaurants and activities in the area through the end of 2024. Our community is grateful for your support as local businesses continue to reopen their doors. Located on the #1 rated Sunset Beach, The Sunset Beach House is a totally unique, oceanfront oasis. Resting on 100 feet of private coastline, every residence features lanais and balconies overlooking historic Sunset Beach. In October 2020, the entire property was renovated and reimagined as Treasure Island’s only truly boutique experience. New sand, landscaping additions, exterior showers for every unit, two new gas grills, and complimentary paddle boards have been added to the already spectacular grounds. The property lends itself perfectly to gatherings, family reunions, and most notably, one of a kind beach weddings and receptions. The yard comfortably accommodates up to 100 guests.

The property comprises the historic main house, three beach bungalows, and 10,000 square feet of a white, sand backyard. The house is available as a 3 bedroom home that can sleep 16 people, and can also be split into two residences for smaller groups. While the interiors include modern conveniences like complimentary wi-fi and state of the art televisions and appliances, the grounds promote the peaceful enjoyment of your private retreat. In addition to the freshly laid sand and landscaping, you will find plenty of lounge chairs, adirondack chairs, outdoor dining spaces, and a beach front deck designed to watch the perfect sunsets Sunset Beach is famous for. The yard has plenty of light and shade, and offers both a private beach experience as well as a nestled reprieve from the sun. Enjoy your morning coffee, or rest under the palms and pine trees.

Don’t rent
Location and view was amazing, but Beach Hugger2 was awful. The only update was possibly the fridge. The bathroom sink was inside the shower along with the outlet ?!?. Good luck trying to get the TV on. I hope our neighbor leaves one as well, she had two young children and there was a broken window, they put ply board up on the outside… broken glass on the inside.

Feedback
The location is great! The room floor was dirty. We took our shoes off and our feet were black walking around within five minutes. The furniture was dirty. The arms of the couch, the chair seat, and one of the dining room chairs fabric was ripped about six inches. The door over head was leaking oil all over the floor. I was texting back and forth with someone who claims not to be property manager to let them know. Ants were in our non refrigerated items, so that was disappointing. I also emailed someone who asked how our stay was, but when I let him know the outcome, no response. Sign says no smoking but people running in and out next door didn’t seem to understand that. I’ve been in the service industry for 15 years, and I’m really pissed we keep paying for these high cleaning fees, yet we don’t get the same level of clean we pay for. I think our family is done with using these sites, and we will just use resorts. Overly disappointing.

The privacy of the beach and shaded area was fantastic. The size of the apartment was as advertised. Would rent this property again!

Perfect Beach Bum Bungalow
The beach bungalow was perfect! Excellent location, gorgeous ocean view from the lanai and the entire courtyard area. Wellll kept courtyard that was spacious for all the guests, the bungalow was clean and very comfortable! I did have to purchase my own beach towels, beach chairs, and a few other basic items that are typically provided in rentals. We will definitely stay here again! It was perfect for us beach bums.

Location is fantastic! Unit needs some attention
I really wanted to love this property. The location cannot be beat and the listing shows that it was newly remodeled. As described it is small and cozy so be prepared. Yes, the sink is in the shower but this was clear in the photos. The property is updated and refreshed and if the owners/managers would do a few things this place could be amazing. The things we enjoyed -Location! Location! Location! this is literally right on sunset beach with a great sandy courtyard right out the back door -Beach Chairs were great, we loved lounging on them and they were very comfortable -Parking was easy and right outside the front door with 2 spaces allocated to our unit What needs to be addressed -Cleanliness- There were only 2 coffee cups in the unit and they were filthy as was the coffee maker. We didn't trust that any of the items in the kitchen were clean. The linens that were used for the sofa bed had blood stains on them. We were horrified especially during this time of COVID. We told the cleaning lady about the issue as we left, but not certain that anything would be done about it. Don't understand how anyone could see that in a rental and not replace the linens. There was no broom in the unit it would have been nice to be able to sweep or swiffer during our stay. The unit was remodeled and updated but the workmanship was not quality. Paint, cabinets, electrical sockets need finishing. Kitchen - no sharp knife, only one small pan and one cookie sheet. 2 old, scratched, stained plastic cups in the cupboards. -WIFI- The Wifi was down and even after it was 'fixed' we still could not connect to the network. Boo. -Cable/TV- no local channels, only the sign ons of the previous guests for app viewing (Netflix, Spotify etc..) -Many beach cottages will come with beach towels, sand toys etc. this place had none of this. It did have 2 paddle boards that could be used, but there was nothing else in any of the units. There was certainly no mention of these amenities on the listing so not upset about it just know that everthing needs to be brought in. Overall I was really hoping that this quaint, cozy remodeled cottage on the beach would have been a hidden gem but I am sad to say that we wouldn't stay there again and the best I can rate it is a 2 and that is because the location cannot be beat. We enjoyed Treasure Island (our second trip to this beach) and would likely come back but would absolutely not rent this place again.

Beach hugger 2
The site was fantastic! The location was very noisy due to street traffic. The unit itself was poor! The bathroom is poorly configured and cramped with the sink in the shower. The remodel was poorly done. The kitchen accessories were very minimal and in poor condition. The outdoor showerhead was turned to unit three, so cleaning sand from feet and beach accessories was impossible. I was a guest for two weeks and during that time three different maintenance crews sent by the management company couldn't figure out out to move the head! Thanks to one of cleaning crew, Flo, who was terrific by the way, for giving me a broom to clean sand from the unit.
