What guests think

Travelers describe Sunset Inn & Cottages as a charming, retro-style spot with consistently clean rooms, welcoming staff, and an excellent beachside location just across the road, in a quiet area that remains close to bars, restaurants, and local attractions.

Guests praise the bright vintage decor, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches like a sink, fridge, and microwave, courtyard seating, rinse stations, and beach gear available to rent or borrow. The most common drawback is the very small bathrooms and showers; a few also note loud or uneven air conditioning, and parking can feel tight. Overall, expect a cozy, simple experience focused on easy relaxation.

Great location away from busy roads. You can hear the waves breaking on the gulf beach across the road! Facilities are small and basic but you are here for the location!

We stayed in The Blue Lagoon cottage. It was absolutely adorable. Perfect location for a low-key, laid back vacay. Cottage was extremely clean and very functional. Check-in was a breeze. Outdoor shower was a plus. Everything about the cottage was perfect. We're already planning our next trip.

Property was very nice, easy to find, parking was easy, very clean and quiet, close to lots of things. Only little thing was bathroom was a bit small, otherwise we loved our stay. I had messed up our reservation and they very kindly took care of it, which was nice, since we didn't have anything else booked. We were very grateful they had an opening.

The Sunset Inn is so charming and we loved the retro feel of it. The rooms are decorated so nice and there is a sink, refrigerator and microwave, which is nice. The outdoor area is really nice with a fun color scheme. Access to the beach is right across the street, which is so perfect! They also had two areas to hose off the sand before going into your room. The water pressure in the shower was great, but the shower itself is very small. Our overall experience was fantastic! Thank you for the amazing experience.

Beautifully/tastefully decorated, well appointed, very clean and a great location. We were grateful for the portable heater in the 40 degree temps. It was a little pricey but that’s my only knock. The parking was tight but manageable with a midsize car.

I was so glad to find this little hidden gem literally right across the street from Sunset Beach on the Gulf Coast. The hotel is well kept and very clean from the tile grout down to the newly polished terrazzo floor. Very eclectic ambiance inside. Sandra was a very accommodating host and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

The experience was great, we arrived early and they accommodated with no issues, staff was friendly and helpful. Room was one of the cleanest rooms that we have stayed at, my only callout is that the air-conditioned was in the rear of room which didn't cool the entire place down at night. But all in all a complete success, we would stay there again when back in area.

This was one of the most comfortable stays I have had in a hotel for a while. Decor is very happy feeling and comfortable. Everything thoughtful was in the room and well thought out. Literally steps from the beach and the sunset and sunrise was amazing. Shower is small but I was able to push the shower curtain toward the sink with my hands and really enjoy the rain shower on my back. We will be back for sure!

This place is cute, but small. Management very nice. Great location across the street from the beach. Here's what we thought: We were told upon arrival, because of the original terrazzo floors, no aerosol products could be used inside the unit, at all. No hair spray, deodorants, sunscreen, etc. I thought they should put that in their info about the floors online. Also, bathroom is very small and no real place to put toiletries except window sill. Shower so small, even an average size person's arms touch wall and curtain at same time. Only one hook outside of the bathroom for towels except small towel bar above toilet. I did mention the room could use more hooks to management, since they want you to reuse the towels. The clothes rod is above the Keurig/refrigerator, so really hardly any way to hang up clothes on hangers. But the room does have a cool vibe of the 60's-70's with the lucite furniture.

They gave me great check-in instructions and turned all the lights on for me so I didn’t have to arrive in pitch blackness. The location is literally steps away from the most amazing white sand beach and crystal waters. You cross a non-busy street and tiny bridge and boom your at the beach. I loved everything about this place and will definitely be back soon. Thank for making my trip so amazing!

The Sunset Inn is perfect. It’s at the end of a very quiet street and the beach is across the street. There are 2 great beach bars within walking distance. The motel was very clean, easy to park and great communication with the motel manager. The motel has everything you could want for a perfect beach stay. It’s off of the main busy roads but still close to everything. Can’t wait to book another trip there!!
