Absolutely loved this place. The condo we rented was perfect, a short walk to the beach and the Island Market which we frequented both places. The condo felt absolutely like home and not some stuffy hotel room. Short drive to other area fun things to do as well. Great prices and excellent customer service!

We have been renting our week at the beach for many years through Sunset Properties on OIB and have always had a great experience with them. Is everything always perfect? Of course not, but what we have found is that if something is wrong, all we have to do is call and we will get a response. We have had good luck with the properties we rent and have been in the same house for the last 4 years.
When we needed to make a change and find a new house due to a family member having difficulties with stairs, they made sure we found a new property that would fit our needs. It saved me probably several hours of looking through the listings trying to figure it out on my own! We look forward to seeing the staff every year and feel confident they will be there for us if we need them! Thank you Sunset Properties for another great week at the beach!

We had a wonderful time on our vacation in mid-June. We stayed at Care-A-Lot, which was very spacious, reasonably priced and well equipped, though somewhat dated. The walk to the beach was short and pleasant and the proximity to shops and the pier was convenient. Since we went during the COVID 19 pandemic, we prepared food at "home" for most meals, and were in the condo more than we typically would have been, which is where we ran into a few issues.
The biggest issue was that the range and oven were very old and did work well. Two of the burners on the range would spark and trip the circuit breaker. The TV remotes all were missing their batteries and two of the TVs did not work. These were ultimately minor inconveniences, but they were still a little annoying. Overall it was a great trip, and we will return to Sunset Beach and possibly Care-A-Lot.

We have been using Sunset Properties for over 10 years, and have never had any issues. On the few occasions that maintenance was required, it is taken care of promptly. We have always loved Sunset Beach and, in fact, we are preparing to move just down the road. Every vacation we have booked with Sunset Properties has been a splendid respite

Loved the properties I stayed at - my issue is with the maintenance team during my stay. In the three weeks I have stayed in a Sunset Properties house, I have had three unannounced maintenance people show up and request to work on the house during my stay. In May, when I arrived at the house after check in, a truck was blocking the driveway and a man was changing lightbulbs in the house.
Another day, a man came to ask to chop down branches near one of the balconies- we turned him away because one of the children was sleeping. I requested that guest services call me if maintenance was needed, but they said "maintenance does their own thing"- which was aggravating to hear. I have really enjoyed the properties I stayed at but this side of things leaves much to be desired.
After the second incident, I did talk with someone on the phone (call maintenance- not guest services) and they were kind enough to say that they would call me if anything else was needed. I am happy to have maintenance available to fix things when needed, but I wish they would check with the renters when a good time would be, or complete the repairs in between check out and check-in.

Stayed with family this past week at one of their managed homes. As previous posters have said, maintenance team is awful. The icemaker didn't work, the fridge was broken, and the washer and dryer didn't work. Also the bed in the home we stayed in had a matress harder then a board. It was the same matress I commented on previously 3 years ago. Funny how all the home reviews on their website are all 5 stars. Every review is 5 stars from every guest? I've been coming to this beach since I was a kid. Definitely gone down hill.

We just had a wonderful family vacation using one of Sunset Properties. We will absolutely use Sunset Properties again. We were lucky to get a canal rental. If you are lucky to get one of these, make sure to rent a kayak. The house was very clean and a perfect size for our family. We bought linen service and the beds were made when we arrived. We sat on the screen porch every morning and evening watching the water and activities around us.
We had one item that needed fixing. We called the maintenance office and they sent someone that day and fixed it, no problem. And, we were able to talk to a real, live person. We would rent through Sunset Properties again. My 11-year-old son would like to comment: The rental was great I had my own room with 2 beds and my brother and I had our own loft with our own t.v. and so did my room i would rate this rental business a 10000000000000000000/5

We've rented through Sunset Properties for years, and felt good about their service until 2020. Despite verbal assurances that there would be a layer of extra cleaning due to Covid, the house was visibly dirty on our arrival. Trash in wastebaskets, dirty dishes put up in the cabinets, kitchen cabinets showing dripping stains, dirty floors, A/c vents covered in mold, etc.
The porch screens were also broken out. When we called to report, they quickly sent someone to repair the screens and clean the vents, but indicated that the rest was our problem, not theirs. It's a shame because we love this area and had thought that we'd found a decent management company, but no longer. Look at Facebook for awful reviews that make us feel like we got off lucky. Really indefensible in the times of a pandemic to have a disgusting dirty house.

We loved staying at Sunset Beach and using Sunset Properties. Their website is very easy to use and see properties. They have adapted to COVID restrictions nicely with non contact pick-up and extra cleaning. Our house was very clean. The location on the canal was magical and it was the perfect size for my family. We could've fit more family into it. Sunset Properties was responsive if we had any needs and a great value for the location and the beach. We will use them again.

My family has been staying with sunset properties for many years. This was our first awful experience. We stayed at Beach Buddies West, and everything kept breaking. The light fixture that hung about the staircase fell out on its own, shattering down the staircase. Thankfully no one was hurt. The gate rusted off, the fire alarm kept going off and instead of replacing it immediately we were asked to unplug it and they would be there in the morning. Thankfully there wasn't a fire, right?
My mother also fell through a chair that should have been thrown away a long time ago. Among all of that, other things kept breaking. Went and told management and they just said they would send someone out. My aunt and uncle, who were staying at another beach, showed up with their dog. The house wasn't pet friendly, and while we were wrong to have a dog in the house while they visited ( the dog stayed mostly out on the deck and did not stay over night.
My aunt and uncle had no idea they couldn't bring their dog. Honest mistake), we were asked to pay a $150 fee. Never mind my mother falling through a chair and a light crashing down, and the fire alarm being disabled over night. Thanks, Sunset Properties! Oh, and the maintenance women told me that the house has been having a lot of problems for the last few months due to the owners poor upkeep. So, let's keep renting it out.

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. My wife and I were interested in a week rental for a July 2014 vacation. I called during the last week of Feb. to ask about several properties from Sunset Properties and was told that some properties would be available for us to see if we wanted to drive down, no days were specified but we'd need to make an appointment.
The only time we have is weekend, so we drove down on Friday and spent the night. Saturday I called to set up an appointment to see available properties and was told they only allowed viewing properties on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that they never trusted a potential renter with a key, so an agent would have to make an appointment with us on either of the days they set aside for viewing, sorry about your wasted trip.
I then stopped by two other agencies to see what they might have to offer. Both of them were extremely nice and helpful. They helped us look through their bookings to find possible places, then gave us keys for us to go unescorted to see for ourselves. We were able to find a place that will suit our needs nicely from one of Sunset Properties competitors and we were treated like one expects to be treated.
I guess Sunset Properties has so many places available that they don' t feel the need to be accomodating but if that's their attitude, they're not representing their property owners very well and certainly have a poor attitude toward renters. I thought a potential customer had some value but obviously not at Sunset Properties. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.
