The short version: we count visits so we can improve the site and measure our ads, you give us your details only if you fill in a form, and booking happens on Airbnb or Vrbo under their policies.
Last updated October 4, 2026.
This website is a brochure for two homes in Wake Forest, North Carolina. You cannot book here, pay here, or make an account here. Every booking happens on Airbnb or Vrbo, and those companies hold your booking information under their own privacy policies.
Only what you choose to give us, on two forms. The contact form takes your name, email, phone, dates and message so we can answer you. The date alert beside each calendar takes your email and the nights you picked so we can send you one note if they open up. Both arrive with the Sunset Grove team by email. Date alert emails are also kept in our guest records, so we know who asked. For a date alert we also note the rough city it came from, worked out from your IP address. We keep the city, not the IP address. There is no newsletter, no payment field, and no login on this site.
The date and guest picker runs in your browser. What you pick shows you which homes are open, and it rides along to Airbnb or Vrbo when you click through so your nights are already filled in. We also count it. The nights and the guest number go to our website analytics so the family can see which dates people are asking for and which homes are too small. That is a count of dates, not of you. Your name, your email and your phone number are never part of it, and they reach us only if you ask for a date alert or send the contact form.
This site uses Google Analytics. It counts which pages people read, which dates they search, which photos they look at, and which listing they click through to. It counts visits and actions, not people. It does not collect your name, your email or your phone number, we do not use it to build a profile of you, and we do not sell any of it. Google Analytics uses cookies, listed below. If you do not want to be counted on any site, Google offers a browser add-on to opt out.
We also use PostHog to see how the pages get used. It records which pages you open, what you click, how far you scroll, where your mouse moves, and what size screen you are on. From that it draws heat maps of where people click, and it saves replays: a playback of how one visit moved through a page, so we can see where people get stuck.
Anything you type is hidden in a replay. Your name, your email, your phone number and your message are never in one. The contact page is never recorded at all. We do not store your IP address either; it is dropped before the visit is saved.
PostHog uses cookies and local storage to tell one visit from the next. Replays are deleted after 30 days. PostHog, Inc. holds this for us. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to advertise to you anywhere else. If we add another analytics tool later, it will be named on this page and the date at the top will change.
We also use Sentry to catch breakage. If something on this site fails in your browser, a calendar that will not open or a map that will not draw, Sentry sends us the error, the page it happened on, and the kind of browser and screen you were using, so we can fix it instead of waiting to be told. It watches for faults, not for people. It does not record your screen, it sets no cookies, and it does not store your IP address, which is dropped before the report is saved. Nothing you type is ever part of a report. Reports are deleted after 90 days, and Sentry holds them for us. We do not sell any of it.
We use the Meta Pixel, a tool from Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram. It tells Meta when someone opens a page here or sends a form. That lets us see whether our Facebook and Instagram posts and ads bring people to the site, and show our ads to people who have visited. If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram, Meta may link that visit to your account under its own privacy policy. You can change the ads Meta shows you in your Meta ad preferences.
Some links we share in posts, emails or ads end with a short tag that starts with utm_. It tells our analytics which post or ad sent the visit, so we know which ones work. It says nothing about who you are.
Loading any web page means your browser contacts the servers that hold the pieces of it. Those servers see your IP address and your browser type, the same as they would on almost any site. On this site those are:
We do not control what those companies do with a request. What we get back from them is counts and reports, not your name, email or phone number.
Google Analytics sets a pair of cookies whose names start with _ga, and PostHog sets one whose name starts with ph_. They hold a random number so a second page counts as the same visit as the first, and they carry no name, email or phone number. The Meta Pixel sets one whose name starts with _fbp. Nothing else on this site sets a cookie. If you follow a link out to Airbnb, Vrbo, or Instagram, that site sets its own cookies once you are there, under its own policy.
Your browser lets you block or delete cookies, or browse in a private window. Either one stops these tools from tying one visit to the next. The site still works without cookies. Google has an opt-out add-on for Google Analytics, and Meta lets you change its ads in your ad preferences.
Some browsers can send a Do Not Track signal. This site as a whole does not respond to it. PostHog is set to honor it and does not record your visit when it is on. Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel do not change what they do.
Your name, dates, payment, and messages live with Airbnb or Vrbo, whichever you booked through. We see what the platform shows a host: who is coming, when, and anything you message us. We use it to get you into the home and to answer you, and for nothing else. We do not sell it, and we do not send marketing to it.
The contact form has a box you can check to get text messages from Sunset Grove about your inquiry and, now and then, an offer. Leave it unchecked and we will not text you. If you check it, we keep your number for that purpose only. We do not share your number or your consent with anyone else for their marketing. Reply STOP to any text to end them, or HELP for help.
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.
If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it.
The fastest way to reach us is the message thread on the listing you booked, on Airbnb or Vrbo. Messages there reach the same people who run the homes.
Pick your dates and how many people. We will show you which homes are open.
Give us your dates and your group size. We will point you to the home that fits and show you its open nights.
