Recent guest reviews

Sunjammer in Waves, NC provided the perfect backdrop for our family beach vacation, Summer 2025. The house was spotless, spacious and eclectically decorated, with every amenity we could have hoped for. The kitchen was equipped, allowing for easy meal preparation, and the 2nd deck, just outside the great room provided gorgeous views while enjoying much desired hot tub time. We loved the close proximity to the beach, making those sunrise walks effortless. The kids especially enjoyed the calmness and warmth of the beach, providing hours of entertainment. From comfortable beds to ample seating, Sunjammer felt like a true home away from home and we can't wait to return next year!

This house has it all- on the beach, plenty of room, pool and hottub. The place was clean and comfortable. Arrival/entry instructions were clear and worked without issue. The AC works great when it’s time to come in from the heat. It would be nice if there were a grill available- that’s the only thing I would change. Would definitely stay again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this home! Everything was spotless — the cleanliness really stood out from the moment we walked in. The location couldn’t be better; just a short walk to the beach, which made it so easy to go back and forth with the family. The house had plenty of space for everyone to relax, and it was perfect for hosting family gatherings. From the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy living areas and outdoor space, everything we needed for a fun and comfortable stay was provided. Highly recommend!

House was nice Furniture very comfotrable. Path to beach & dune hill back & forth took some getting used to! All the steps hard on us older folks. Lol Would have rather had hot tub out on open deck. Loved the Big Pool & pool table area.

FAQ

Yes, our oceanfront rentals offer direct beach access and are located just steps from the water.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach gear are often provided at many of our oceanfront vacation rentals. However, they are not a standard amenity across all oceanfront homes. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.

Many of our oceanfront vacation homes and condos include a private balcony or deck with stunning ocean views, along with water views from many of the rooms. Although that is not standard among all oceanfront rentals. We recommend looking at all the photos and taking a property’s 3D tour to make sure the property offers the amenities you’d like.

Some oceanfront rentals, especially those located on popular beaches, may include an outdoor shower or designated area to rinse off sand. This is not a standard feature across all rentals, but is more common in properties where guests participate in beach and water activities. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.
