Perfect space to spend time with the family. Decent sized tub and very comfy beds! Very clean and kitchen is well appointed. Property owners are so responsive and kind! Large golf cart was a perfect addition since we had a toddler in our group and her little legs are only good for so long and she refused to help carry anything. Weather didn’t cooperate with us but there were games in the house for us to play. We will definitely be back!!

Family Vacation

Linda, the owner, was very helpful and quick to respond with any and all concerns. The home was lovely and well maintained. The golf cart was a huge benefit for driving around the island. We enjoyed our stay so much. The only issue we had was not wanting to leave. Great location and great property owner communication. Highly recommend this place for a lively stay in Emerald Isle.

Thank you so much for your kind words about your stay at the Sunshine House. I am so sorry we don’t have a truck there to carry the kayaks to the water. We may bring them home. We have a suburban and we take them one at a time. We loved having you and hope you enjoyed the temperatures of the East coast in September. Again, thank you for your kind words. ❤️

The house was exactly what we were looking for. I came with my family and my 2 older parents that don’t get around well. This house was perfect for that. Great location. Able to get in town with the golf cart. Easy access to the beach. The host was amazing, very informative, and cared for our safety. We were there during hurricane Erin and she notified me of updates on progress and warnings that were being issued. Also notified me of things to do. A turtle bridge, live concert, and a few others. I would recommend this rental to others.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Zimmerman

Host profile image
Mike and I love God, family, friends and fun! A place at the beach is our dream come true. Our wish for you is that you have the best experience ever spent at the beach! We hope you love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it is beautiful. We love the location being in a neighborhood where you can go to the beach, ride bikes, go to the ICW, take walks, the kids can ride their bikes in the cul-de-sac or you can cruise in the golf cart. We also LOVE the outdoor space. The view from the deck is beautiful and there is water all around us.

What makes this property unique

We do a signature drink for the summer months. Your ingredients await you. We also provide: shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, DAWN, cleaners, foil, saran wrap, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, hand soap, PAM, and some spices.
For the outdoors, our house comes with a six seater golf cart, 4 bikes, a paddle board and life jacket, two kayaks, corn hole, a shibumi tent, beach chairs, beach towels and a large deck with a gas firepit, and we have a gas grill.
