About this property

The Sea Palm, A Coastal Cottage Steps From The Beach!!!

  • This seaside retreat is owned by The Purgason family since 1972, when first built. The home offers a large front porch accessed by sliders from the living area and both front bedrooms. The back porch is a shady morning spot perfect for coffee. To top it off, the "Widows Walk" (rooftop deck) offers surround views of the ocean, marsh and island community with seating for all to enjoy. Perfect spot to catch spectacular sunsets the island is named for. Porches include swings, rockers and comfortable seating. Exterior is landscaped with palm trees and white sand. Ample parking! There are two exterior sand showers, one private and one to knock off sand and beach equipment from a long day at the beach. A large rear grilling deck with oversized casual dining table and plenty of seats—a fun spot for eating watermelons. Two grills are available, take your pick of gas or charcoal. Napping hammock in a shady spot that captures the perfect ocean breeze. Back yard with sodded grass, perfect play area for kids. Rare concrete driveway perfect for basketball, chalk drawing, jumping rope, skating.....The family's collection of sea shells has been used in the interior staging and exterior landscaping. The special shells have been collected by grandchildren and family members over the years.

    Interiors offer refinement without sacrificing the relaxing beach-comber style of living. The family's collection of shells displayed throughout the cottage are treasures discovered by the oldest and youngest family members. Flat TV screens are in each bedroom as well as in the open concept Great Room. The Kitchen is well stocked for waffles with strawberries in the morning and daiquiris in the afternoon! Bar seating and a butterfly leaf expandable dining table add to the ease of sharing meal Prepping. Shutters are in all bedrooms and provide stylish privacy.

    The Sea Palm is a colorful cottage with plenty of beach chairs, beach games, umbrella and coolers. We provide the beach equipment - You tote there, you tote back!!!

    The SeaPalm is an easy stroll to and from the beach, pier and island market. Y'all come!

Only Regret is Not Staying Longer

Our only regret is not staying longer. If we had the money, we’d book the Sea Palm for a month. We love this home and Sunset Beach. It’s the perfect combination.

Exactly what we were looking for

We loved everything about our stay at the Sea Palm and we could not have had a better week. The beach is very close and everyone we interacted with showcased southern hospitality. The amenities that we enjoyed are too numerous to list, but first to mind are the widow's watch and hammock. If you are looking for a family-friendly place to stay at Sunset Beach we highly recommend this one. Thank you Roger and Joanna for sharing your family home with us.

Absolutely LOVE the Sea Palm, and have already booked for next year. You will relax as soon as you arrive, the coastal vibe and comfortable decor is exactly what we love for our vacation on Sunset Beach! And short walk across the street to the beach access, plenty of parking. Roger is accessible and responsive, always communicates ahead of time everything we need to know. Arrival access is simple and easy, all I will say is book now!!

Always a joy to stay at the Sea Palm! The house is a stone's throw away from the beach and has everything you need for a fun-filled week. We've been fortunate enough to rent throughout the years and always feel at home when we stay.

Super close to the beach!

Loved our stay, house was clean and as described. We have a toddler and the patios were all gated which saved us many temper tantrums. Beach access is EXTREMELY close, and the provided beach equipment made everything more convenient. Highly recommend!

Ideal beach house for a relaxing trip!

The location was ideal for a fun and relaxing trip for a family. It was maybe a 3-4 minute walk to the beach, even with a toddler. That made it possible to go back and forth to the house easily for food/restroom breaks! There were so many games and toys to entertain us while we were taking a break from the beach. The fully stocked kitchen and grills made it convenient to have family meals at the house if our little ones were too rambunctious for a restaurant. There were multiple outdoor shower stations to rinse off after being at the beach, which helped limit the amount of sand that we brought home with us. This home made all the difference when it came to having a great trip to sunset beach, we can’t wait until next summer!

Beautiful home

The house was beautiful the beach was just a small walk away and a easy walk to the small shops in town. Only problem we had was the neighbors filled our trash cans up so full we had to take a bag with us to throw away but that was on the neighbors no one else. Hope to get to come back again next year!!!
