Bottom line: Sunset Slush always hits the spot, and glad to see them in Holden Beach! Great Italian ice with tasty flavors and combos. Get one from their cart going along on the beach if you can't stop by the shop. Either way, a cool and refreshingly delicious treat at the beach! The Deets: Another location of Sunset Slush for me to visit? Why yes indeed, even one in good ol' Holden Beach. Still all the Italian ice goodness that I have enjoyed at OIB throughout the years, even a beach cart that sells it while you enjoy the sun and surf just like OIB. My mainstay is still the "koozie cup" size of Sonic (lemon-lime and cherry combo) but still see other favorites of mine like lemon, tangerine, and lemon-lime to enjoy also. It's a hit with all the beach house, we have to bring one back for anyone not accompanying us there or we hear about it! Sunset Slush never misses, glad to see them here in Holden Beach to go enjoy. read more

Great tasting frozen ice cream and slushies. Fast and friendly service and not too busy during the day so the lines are pretty short but busier in the evenings. The mango frozen treat is yummy and the ice cream is too! read more

Great service. We went here several times during our week at the beach. Appreciate the Christian music playing over speakers and could buy it on the beach! Slush was good! Would ask the servers their favorite. Some of the flavors definitely better than others. read more

5/5 every time I have Sunset Slush. We got it the first night in town and waited every day at the beach for them to roll by on their cart. Staff are always so friendly and efficient, especially when pushing the cart in the hot sun on the sand. We always buy the koozies for memories and enjoy the small discount when we continue to buy throughout the week. family favorite !! read more

Such a cute place! We had Italian ice and ice cream, both were so good especially after a hot day on the beach. Definitely a go to!

Sunset Slush is probably a cornerstone memory of thousands of kids. I've been coming to Holden Beach about 10-years and my nieces/nephews get so excited to visit. It's strange that this was the first year that I actually had any. I was in the mood for a cold treat so I got a root beer flavored slush. It was heavenly! You can get a small , medium, or koozie cup. The koozie Cupid what my family all has. It knocks .75 cents off of a small or medium refill. They have some awesome flavors from the looks of it. Next summer cannot come soon enough for me to try some new ones. read more

Service with a smile. Great Italian ice and such a great little store to chase the heat away! Perfect location!

Closes before posted closing time. Had a lot of folks disappointed. Need to update your hours.

The butter pecan was mixed with chocolate, which means the scooper was not rinsed before changing flavors. the waffle cone was stale and both ice cream and cone had very odd flavor, not as it should be. disgusting taste. Had to throw it away, nearly $7. my son said his slushy didn't have any flavor. Will not be returning or recommending. read more

Workers were very outgoing and friendly. Italian ice was delicious! My husband had the ice cream and loved it as well. The area was clean and the music was nice. read more

Great for quenching that sweet tooth on a hot day! Wait time was not my favorite but the refreshing icy treat was worth the wait. I got the lemon/lime which was very refreshing. About what you'd expect from a lemon/lime slush. I wanted the flavor to be a bit stronger overall. The outdoor seating was decent but pretty buggy while we were there. Walked out with a few flies and mosquito bites. The recommendations given by the staff were good and they were able to answer all the questions we had. read more

Very good slushiest and ice cream. friendly staff too. Gotta make a visit and try their Italian ice.

This is my family's must have ever single year! We know this I've must be in heaven because it is that good! Can't wait till they are open again this week so we can get more! My favorite is the chocolate with iced coffee! Must try! read more

The slushies were delicious on a hot day at the beach. The kids AND adults enjoyed them

Why do I live in Ohio? It's a very real question I ask myself when thinking about the deliciousness that is Sunset Slush. During our visit to Holden Beach last year, my family hit up Sunset Slush about once a day. I was impressed with every flavor I had, but my favorites were Black Cherry, Rainbow USA and OMG. The thing that really set Sunset Slush apart from the rest in my eyes was the texture. So good, and so unlike anything I've ever had! I've tried to describe it, but I completely fail. It's the perfect mix of creamy, soft and melt-in-your-mouth textures. Tip: Buy the koozie! It'll save you over the long-run and is a fun reminder once you get home.) read more

I've only been here once, the Italian Ice was very thick and creamy almost like icecream, which was really nice actually. Flavors are very good and workers are nice. read more

Nice variety and fast service! We will certainly return. Attendants are friendly and accommodating.

They had a bunch of flavors and their ice cream was good too. The Italian ice cream was amazing. I recommend getting the koozie cup and bringing it back every time, you get a discount on your orders. They are handling COVID very well. There can be a wait sometimes but they are very fast and efficient. Prices are what you would expect at a beach. read more

Love their Italian ice and Blue Bell ice cream! The staff are great and atmosphere very positive and inviting. Would highly recommend you give it a try if you haven't been to one. read more

Good ice cream and not bad Italian ice. Lots of flavors to chose from, kids will love it.

Our favorite treat in HB! We love having an alternative to ice cream for our non dairy family members and the variety of flavors at Sunset Slush makes for a fun and refreshing afternoon dessert. Seating area outside is always clean & employees are always friendly. read more

$3 for two scoops of Italian ice. There are other scoop options, too. You can even purchase a souvenir cup to use all summer long. Discount when you return with the cup. Many flavor choices. I went with cherry. YUM!! Super cute decor. Great patio with picnic bench and colorful adirondack chairs. read more

Sunset Slush - Holden Beach - Mom's 57th Birthday. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holden Beach, North Carolina

After biking around on a ninety degree day, an Italian ice was called for to prevent heat stroke. The two people working were friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions about their flavors (it wasn't busy at that moment either. I tend to ask more questions when no one else is waiting.). They let me try four flavors before I decided. Cry Baby tastes just like Sour Patch Kids. The key lime is a mix of sweet and tangy. Tangerine or mango were both on the sweeter side rather than the tangy side. The peach was my favorite. A soft, sweet, delectable flavor that is not overpowering. My cousin got blueberry and lemon scoops, just like a rocket pop. Worth a stop when you need a cold treat. There's so many flavors, you'll find something that hits the spot. read more

Great variety went two days in a row! Highly recommended the koozie cup as a souvenir and to prevent your italian ice from melting! Knocking one star off for the service the first night- kids seems to not enjoy their job and weren't very welcoming. read more

With my hands down as low as they can go, I consider this a proper, honest and humble classic Italian ice joint. Friendly staff, interesting location(almost underneath the majestic bridge) and corn hole boards set up. They were very considerate of what flavor we chose, so the one guy told me that the coffee flavor was strong and let me sample it. Strong was an understatement. It put Dwayne Johnson to shame! To compensate, I ordered a small coffee Italian ice with vanilla gelato. It was excellent. I came back two more evenings after the first time I saw it. The mango is fantastic, and the blue vanilla was intriguing. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in existence who ever ordered the blue vanilla. I'm okay with that. read more

If you are in Holden beach then Sunset Slush is a must! I don't care how old you are, this is quality Italian ice. Tons of flavors and combinations. My kids especially love this place. There really isn't place to eat inside so be prepared to sit outside or take it to go. But the area outside is really nice. read more

We just LOVE Morgan and Anna. Can't wait til they open their own store up, haha. Two bright, friendly teenage girls. Had better service tonight than I've had in several other restaurants/shops. We really enjoyed our casual stop in the shop for our favorite Italian ice tonight. Pretty much tried every flavor in the store and they sold us on coozies too. Good job girls! read more

My daughters favorite place to get her "cold one" in Holdens Beach. Strawberry lemonade and mine is plain lemonade. We stop in after a hard day at the beach. Worth being a favorite stop for us. read more

Always a fun stop for Italian ice when you are at Holden Beach!!! Fun flavors and nice staff - we go there multiple times each time we are at the beach!! read more

Forget what you think you know about average-tasting, run-of-the-mill vacation frozen ice desserts. This place is the real deal. Savory, refreshing and mouth-watering until the very last scoop. I had strawberry lemonade. I suggest you do, too. Also tried key lime and mango, as samples. Fantastic. read more

Between this place and Rita's Water Ice, there is no comparison. I've gone three times so far and everything I've had has been amazing! The coconut and the almond are definitely my favorites. Everyone in my family has raved about this place and you can bet we'll be returning the next time we vacation here. You can't go wrong with cute decorations and delicious water ice....especially when you're at the beach! read more

What a simple, pleasant, and tasty spot! I've lost count of how many times we've been but it's consistently good and affordable. Within walking distance, Sunset Slush is a great place to wander and meet other families vacationing. There is a friendly family-run attitude and attentiveness. This kind of pride shows in the customer service, shop appearance, and product. We love giving our business to such fine people. read more

I was able to try this place for the first time when I came down for the weekend. I heard a girl talk about it on the beach and had no idea what she was talking about (little did I know I would be visiting it later that day). I got the Cry Baby which was good and had the sour taste of Sour Patch Kids. My small Cry Baby was $3 which is pretty good for homemade Italian ice. All in all, great taste, great consistency, and great price. I will be coming here next time I visit Holden Beach read more

I was skeptical when I saw the number of Italian ice flavors at this place. But I have to admit that I was wrong. They are the real deal Italian ices and they are excellent. When it comes to Italian ices, you don't need a huge portion, as they are so flavorful. A small size is a perfect snack and at $3.25, is so much cheaper than the ice cream place on the island. The service was also very friendly. We will definitely be back. read more
