Great Family Friendly Cottage

We spent a week in Sunset Beach at Just Add Water and had a great time. The cottage was perfect for our family, including the four-legged members. Easy access to the beach, super responsive owner, great condition, and great community. We will definitely be back to make more family memories. Let's Go Mountaineers!

The Perfect Place

Beautifully decorated cottage in an excellent location. The owner thought of everything you would want or need. Been visiting Sunset for 25 years and this was the best rental we have ever had. Our two corgis, Boomer and Henry, loved the porches. Hope we will be able to return soon!

Perfect beach house in a perfect location!

We had a wonderful stay in Just Add Water!! Jan has really thought of everything we could need and more! The rooms were comfortable, the many decks and screened porch got a lot of use and the outdoor shower was a favorite for everyone in our family. The location of the house makes trips back and forth to the beach very easy. I could go on and on! We will definitely be back!

Perfect

Our family stayed at sunset beach this year for our annual trip to sunset beach. We stayed at this sweet beach cottage and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience! The house was so sweet, very clean, and the perfect size for a family of 5! It’s close to everything which makes it that much better! Jan was the best host and made sure we had everything we needed and then some! You will not regret a trip to sunset beach or a stay at this house!

What a wonderful stay!

When we arrived we were greeted by Jan and showed the property. A phenomenal stay for 5, we enjoyed every area of the property and found the accommodations just perfect. 4 total outdoor areas including crows nest and table in the carport area gave everyone room to move and have space. Our little dog enjoyed the deck areas and we were at ease with lockable gates at all access points. We were very pleased with this cottage but just wished we had used the outdoor grill for dinners. Maybe next time… and there definitely will be a next time. Can’t wait to return.

Very quaint, clean and well maintained!!!!

Just Add Water was a great selection! It is very close to the pier and child and dog friendly! We immediately felt at home when we walked in the house. I would definitely recommend to others. We were very pleased to have access to children's beach toys and beach chairs! Thank you for greeting us with a basket of goodies and a note! That was very special! We hope to come back next year! We would definitely recommend this property to others without hesitation!

Perfect winter escape!

We were thriller with the location, cleanliness, amenities and overall feel of Just Add Water. Our 2 dogs loved the outside decking that allowed them to roam top to bottom, safely. The beds were excellent. The kitchen is full of useful cookware and gadgets. Everything works as it should and the cable and WiFi were bonuses. Although the weather was frightful in February with ice storms, we were cozy and warm and thoroughly enjoyed our winter get away. Hope to come back next winter.
