The Sanctuary at Sunset Beach — New Homes Close to the Coast

Located approximately 1.5 miles from the shoreline, The Sanctuary at Sunset Beach is a master-planned residential community developed by Bill Clark Homes. Its convenient location places residents close to the beach while providing easy access to shopping, restaurants, parks and everyday services throughout Sunset Beach.


The community is planned for 363 single-family homes, creating a substantial neighborhood without the scale of some of the region’s larger developments. Sidewalks, walking paths and shared recreational spaces connect the homes with the community’s completed resort-style amenity center.


New Homes with Coastal Character

Homes in The Sanctuary reflect the relaxed architectural style of the Brunswick County coast. Available elevations include coastal, cottage, farmhouse and traditional designs, with an exterior color palette influenced by the sand, water and natural surroundings of Sunset Beach.

Bill Clark Homes offers a broad selection of one- and two-story floor plans. Designs range from approximately 1,500 to more than 3,200 square feet, with options that may include first-floor primary suites, bonus rooms, home offices, covered porches and additional guest accommodations.


Open living areas, large kitchen islands and comfortable outdoor spaces are common features. Many plans include two-car garages and flexible spaces that can be adapted for hobbies, guests or working from home.


New phases continue to provide opportunities for homes under construction, move-in-ready properties and selected homesites. Resale homes are also becoming available as the neighborhood grows. Pricing, builder incentives and home availability can change, so current information should be confirmed when considering a property.


Completed Resort-Style Amenities

The Sanctuary’s completed amenity center serves as the recreational and social centerpiece of the community. Its coastal-style clubhouse features a fitness center and comfortable gathering areas for residents and neighborhood activities.


Outside, the resort-style swimming pool includes space for lap swimming and a shallow tanning ledge. A spacious pool deck provides room for lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas, while surrounding palm trees and coastal landscaping reinforce the relaxed setting.

The pool complex also includes an open-air cabana, pool house, showers and covered outdoor areas. An outdoor fireplace, grilling stations and lounge spaces provide additional places to gather, dine outdoors or spend time with neighbors.


Golf-cart parking is available at the amenity center, and sidewalks and walking paths make the facilities accessible from throughout the neighborhood. Golf-cart operation outside the community remains subject to association rules and Town of Sunset Beach regulations.


Approximately 1.5 Miles from Sunset Beach

The Sanctuary’s location is one of its strongest advantages. Sunset Beach is approximately 1.5 miles away, making the island convenient for morning walks, fishing, beach days and evening sunsets.


The Sunset Beach Fishing Pier, public beach accesses and waterfront areas are all within a short drive. Residents are also close to the Ingram Planetarium, Sunset Beach Town Park, local markets and seasonal concerts and community events.


Several golf courses are located throughout the Sunset Beach and Calabash area. Public boat ramps, marinas and kayak-friendly waterways provide additional opportunities for boating, fishing and coastal recreation.


Shopping, Dining and Everyday Convenience

Restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques and beach-oriented stores are located near the community along Sunset Boulevard and the surrounding commercial corridors. Grocery stores, pharmacies and medical offices can be found in Sunset Beach, Calabash and nearby Shallotte.


The Calabash waterfront is a short drive away and offers locally owned restaurants, fishing charters and specialty shops. Ocean Isle Beach and North Myrtle Beach provide additional choices for dining, entertainment and outdoor recreation.


Myrtle Beach International Airport and Wilmington International Airport connect the area with larger regional destinations, while Wilmington and Myrtle Beach remain practical options for day trips.


A Growing Community with Amenities in Place

The Sanctuary at Sunset Beach offers the advantages of a newer home community without requiring residents to wait for the primary amenities to be completed. The clubhouse, fitness center, pool and outdoor gathering areas are already in place and ready to be enjoyed.

With its selection of coastal-inspired homes, completed amenity center and location less than two miles from the beach, The Sanctuary provides an appealing setting for a primary residence or part-time coastal retreat.
