Cabin rentals near Sunset Beach, North Carolina typically range from rustic to deluxe accommodations at several campgrounds across Brunswick County. Most properties are positioned within 5-10 miles of beach access points, making them convenient bases for coastal exploration. Many cabins remain available year-round, with climate control systems enabling comfortable stays regardless of seasonal temperature changes.
What to do
Beach access from campgrounds: At Myrtle Beach Travel Park, visitors can enjoy oceanfront camping with direct beach access. "Myrtle Beach isn't exactly known for its clean beaches and clear water but the further up north you go the better the water/sand quality gets," notes camper Maddi P.
Nature exploration on Bird Island: Located about 5 miles from Brunswick Beaches RV Resort, Bird Island offers a protected nature preserve. One visitor shared: "I came to this campground because of its location about 5 miles from Kindred Spirit Mailbox on Bird Island."
Vineyard experiences: Wine enthusiasts can stay in cabins at CarrollWoods RV Park, where an on-site winery provides tastings. "I visited the winery and the two women who own it are helpful and lively. If you visit, you must get one of their wine floats," reports Nancy C.
Water recreation options: Many campgrounds feature water amenities beyond beach access. "They have a nice pool for some off leash time. The facilities are great with a store, laundry, and clean restrooms and showers," according to Maya C. at Brunswick Beaches RV Resort.
What campers like
Privacy and space between sites: Some cabin locations offer more separation than others. At Willow Tree RV Resort, "the sites are huge and along the lake where I camped, they are angled so that you don't really see much of your neighbors," reports Rose S.
Clean facilities: Consistent maintenance receives frequent mention in reviews. "The bathhouse was acceptable, not really new, basic but clean with lots of hot water," notes Cyndi B. about Myrtle Beach KOA facilities.
Golf cart accessibility: Many resorts permit golf cart use for convenient transportation. At Barefoot RV Resort, one camper advises: "Rent a golf cart from Salty's—they deliver it right to your campsite. This was a must have as we used it to get to the beach, shopping/bars in Barefoot Landing, food store and more."
Natural surroundings: Brunswick Beaches camping provides natural environments. "This is a relaxing, natural campground. Many bird songs at sunrise and Whip poor will calls at sunset every night," shares Maya C.
What you should know
Site surfaces vary by location: While some cabins include concrete pads, others have different bases. At Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, "the sites are perfect. My grandparents stayed in one of the cabins and these things are off the hook!" reports Joe G.
Seasonal considerations: High season brings increased crowds and rates. "During the summer weekends they provide pool service for drinks which is really nice," notes Deb P. about Sun Outdoors, highlighting special warm-weather amenities.
Bring your own supplies: Most cabins provide minimal furnishings. "We had a pull through spot because we were (and still are) newbies. I think I would prefer more space but we had fun," shares Rose K. about accommodations at Myrtle Beach Travel Park.

The beach area is great as well as the store and funnel cake stand," reports Rose K. about her experience at Myrtle Beach Travel Park.
Kid-friendly staffing: Some resorts employ activity coordinators for younger guests. "The lifeguards in the splash pad area had a game of walking tag going on with all the kids. This helped break the ice between all the kids and my kids met a lot of friends," shares Samantha O.
