My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pumpkin House. The home reminded me of being in a model home, & is decorated with beautiful colors & has everything you need for a comfortable vacation. We love Surfside beach because it’s a very quiet town, we’ll definitely be coming back.

Everything was great about this rental. The location was awesome and the house had plenty of kitchen tools to use. Enjoyed the beach chairs and toys that were stored to use so we didn’t have to bring a lot with us.

We stayed at the Pumpkin House in Surfside Beach and absolutely loved it. The place is super clean, beautifully decorated, and just steps from the beach—no roads to cross. It had everything we needed: a well-stocked kitchen, beach toys, comfy beds. The views of the ocean and lake from the balconies were amazing. It’s peaceful, perfect for families, and the hosts were great. Would definitely go back!

Great location and clean

Our group loved the pumpkin house. The location was perfect very short walk to the beach. We spent a lot of time down stairs at the picnic table cooking and hanging out. The breeze from the ocean was amazing and made being outside very nice in 95+ degree weather.
