LauraCanadaCozy cottage close to the beach in a quiet charming beach town.
Well laid out, very close to the beach. Walkable to many amenities. Super friendly staff. Great smelling body wash/hair products. Delicious restaurant on site with breakfast included.
Nothing! It was fantastic!

Questions about The Sunset Shack
What time is check-in and check-out at The Sunset Shack?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Sunset Shack allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Sunset Shack?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Sunset Shack have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at The Sunset Shack?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Sunset Shack have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Sunset Shack have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Sunset Shack?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
