About this property

Welcome to Pete's Retreat! A rustic cabin, with a touch of a mid-century modern vibe, that sits among the dunes and offers the best views in Surfside Beach. Inside the house, it feels like you are in a treehouse with the wall of windows that overlooks the dunes and beach. It is truly breathtaking to watch the sunrise over the water in the morning.

The master bedroom features the same gorgeous views as the living room and has one queen bed. The second bedroom is located off the dining room and has two twin beds. The loft area is over the second bedroom and has one Queen bed and two Twin beds. The one bathroom has a standup shower only, no tub.

The living room is where you will want to spend all your time soaking up the views. The dining room is right off the living room and also has a door leading out to the back deck. Just off the dining room is the quant kitchen tucked away in the corner along with the front loading washer and dryer.

When you are ready to hit the beach, just walk downstairs to the access road, and within a short walk, you will have your toes in the sand. You will love the quick and easy beach access you have at Pete's Retreat. Since you are on an access road, it is convenient to drive all your beach toys, fishing gear, coolers, beach chairs, and more, right to the sand. No long hauls on foot required.

Under the house is an outdoor shower and a lockable door to the stairwell. Some water can accumulate on under and around the home after heavy rain.

Pet Policy: If you love dogs like us, you are more than welcome to bring up to 2. We ask that pets stay off all furniture, are cleaned up after in the yard, and aren't left alone inside the home unless in a crate or kennel. Please message us if planning on bringing your furry friend to Surfside! Pets are welcome at this home. 2 pets max. w/ a non-refundable pet fee. (ask if additional pets are allowed).

Perfect for close to the beach

This property was slightly dated but really well maintained, in good condition and cleaned well. Bathroom needed to be renovated but again, was clean. Perfect location to be on the beach with no view interference.

Great Location

The place has a Great location. I will probably not book again. I’m ok with old and charming/ this was a little to old. Things need to be updated. The Bathroom is one. The wall has water damage and the floors make you feel like you are going to fall through. The cleaning crew does a good job for what they have to work with. Windows needs replacing. We had a pretty bad winds come through the night before we where leaving and it whistled the whole time. It would be a great place if those things where taken care of. Like I said Great Location!
