Welcome to your lakefront retreat in Oceanside Village in Surfside Beach. This ground-level 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath space sleeps up to 6 and is easy to access with no stairs. Your stay includes two golf carts, all linens and towels, and a full beach setup, so you can travel light and spend more time on “beach time.”
IMPORTANT TO KNOW (PLEASE READ)
This is the private lower level of my home with a separate private downstairs entrance just for guests. I live upstairs full time. You’ll have your own space and privacy, but you may occasionally hear normal household sounds (footsteps, etc.).

PORCH, PATIO & LAKEFRONT
Relax in the glass-enclosed porch with your favorite drink. Turn on the AC or open the windows to enjoy the sounds of the fountain and the breeze from the lake.
Outside on the patio, enjoy morning coffee while you watch swans, ducks and turtles on the water, then unwind in the evening as the fountain lights up after a day at the beach.

Skip heating up the house and cook outside on the patio. The outdoor kitchen includes a grill, smoker, stovetop, pizza oven, built-in cooler and sink, so you can cook everything from burgers to pizzas without ever leaving the view.

SEA TURTLE SEASON
Sea turtle season runs from May through mid-August. If you are lucky, you may see a turtle nesting on the beach. It is an incredible sight. Please remember to watch from a distance, keep dogs away and avoid shining flashlights directly on them. We love our local wildlife and want to help protect them for the future.

We prefer monthly rentals from January through May. Please message us through Vrbo for rates and availability. You can also reach us at alwaysonbeachtime at gmail.
Discounted rates from September through December may be available as well. We’re happy to work with you on longer stays.
