About this property
Steps to Beach - Pool, Golf Cart, Arcade, Elevator
200 feet from the ocean, your crew of 12 has a private heated saltwater pool, an arcade game room with PacMan and NBA Jam, a tiki bar, a putting green, a 6-seat golf cart, elevator and a Level 2 EV charger — all waiting for you at Sun Of A Beach SC. Beach trips take two minutes on foot. Restaurants take five in the golf cart. And nights by the pool under the stars are the kind of thing everyone keeps talking about on the drive home.
ABOUT THIS SPACE
The backyard is your command center. The private saltwater pool is heated and chilled year-round — warm on cool spring mornings, refreshing in peak July heat. Four lounge chairs line the deck, and an 8-seat dining table sits under a large red umbrella. The putting green sits right beside the pool — golf balls and putter already there. The tiki bar — thatched palm roof, reclaimed wood counter, barstools on both sides — is the social hub of the outdoor space. A gas grill with provided propane bottles handles cookouts. An outdoor shower manages the post-beach rinse. The included 6-seat golf cart with parking pass lives under the house alongside hanging beach chairs and the Level 2 EV charger.
Inside the main floor: an airy living area with white sofas, a large smart TV, and fast WiFi. The kitchen is fully equipped — sage green cabinets, granite counters, stainless appliances, Keurig and drip coffee, blender, and a complete knife block. The dining area seats 8 at the table and 4 more at the kitchen counter. French doors from the living area open to the covered front porch with wicker seating and a ceiling fan — ideal for morning coffee or a slow evening with the ocean breeze coming through.
The game room earns raves from every group: PacMan, NBA Jam, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Pinball, foosball, neon rainbow lighting, star-pattern carpet. The upstairs bunk room is shark-themed with a PS4 and games — the younger crew will need to be called twice for dinner.
Baby gear included: Pack-N-Play, high chair, gates, stroller, children's dinnerware. Show up — everything is here.
LOCATION & WHAT'S NEARBY
Surfside Beach is "The Family Beach" — calmer than Myrtle, free of tourist crowds, with a brand-new pier and genuine small-town character. Half the Grand Strand is within 15 minutes.
• Public beach access: 200 feet (2-min walk) • Surfside Beach Pier (new): ~0.5 miles by golf cart • Myrtle Beach State Park (hiking, fishing): ~8 min • Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & SkyWheel: ~10 min • Broadway at the Beach (dining, shopping, entertainment): ~12 min • Ripley's Aquarium: ~12 min • TopGolf Myrtle Beach: ~12 min • Murrells Inlet Marshwalk (seafood, live music, waterfront dining): ~15 min • Barefoot Landing (shops and restaurants): ~18 min • Brookgreen Gardens (one of the largest sculpture gardens in the US): ~25 min
Golf cart range includes local restaurants, downtown Surfside Beach, and the pier.
WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Multi-family groups: Each couple gets their own room and bathroom, the kids claim the bunk room and arcade, and the adults finally get to relax by the pool without managing anyone.
Families with young children: Baby gear is already there waiting. The pool is private and enclosed. The beach is a 2-minute walk. The golf cart with parking pass eliminates car-seat logistics. This house was built for families with little ones.
Milestone trip groups: Birthdays, bachelorettes, reunions — the arcade, tiki bar, pool, and golf cart create a trip people reference for years. The putting green always sparks friendly competition.
Off-season travelers: Heated and cooled pool makes this work beautifully in April and October — quieter beach, no crowds, better rates, same amenities.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. A very short walk to the beach, and having the beach wagon, chairs, umbrellas and toys was a real plus! We also enjoyed the use of the golf cart. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We had plenty of space for our group of 6 adults and 8 children.

Thank you for the review. Glad that you and your family have a great time!
The layout of the home and property was well designed. we used everything the house had to offer and had a fabulous time. Perfect location to the beach and not near hotels or condos where the beach was crowded. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stoked with all of the essentials. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed dinner down at the bar. Game room was a hit too!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Son of a Beach! The house was great and the location is perfect. You have everything you need plus more. Thanks for the hospitality Corey!
We had a wonderful stay at Sun of a Beach, celebrating our daughter’s college graduation. The property was beautiful, clean, had everything that you could need and the location was perfect. The game room was so much fun! The owner, Corey was great to work with. We will definitely rent this property again!

Thank you for the review! We are glad that y’all had a great time and look forward to hosting y’all again!
What a great vacation property!! The host was very responsive. The house was great! Had all the amenities we needed to host Thanksgiving dinner for our extended family!! Kids had a blast in the game room! Was great being able to jump in the pool in November! Property was so close to the beach we enjoyed many walks collecting shells. The elevator was a life saver for mobility impaired family members! Couldn’t have asked for a better property! Highly Recommend!!!
We loved the house. We all bond at home through gaming so as soon as we saw this house listed, we knew we had yo stay here. We all loved and enjoyed the house and will for sure book next year.
Thank you so much!

We are glad that y’all had a great time! We look forward to hosting y’all again, take care!
The house was great. The attention to detail for the furnishings and beach toys was awsome. We were so close to the beach we did not need to drive the cart when we went down to the sea. The kids wore out the pool and the adults the corn hole.
We have been coming to the beach for over 25 years and this was one of the best times yet.

Everything was great! We stayed the week before Easter 2024 and the weather could have been warmer. Corey made sure the heated pool was staying warm for us. The golf cart was great to take the kids to get ice cream.The home was very clean and the owner was great with communication. The home was enjoyed by everyone! Thank you for the amazing service.

Everything was perfect! Communication, instructions, location, stocked house! The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for multiple people. The beach chairs and toys were great! Having the golf cart was another amazing plus to have. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean! Plenty
Of room for everyone! The elevator was a bit tricky but super helpful! We would definitely book this house again!

This home is absolutely amazing! All the amenities are top notch! Everything you could have wanted in a house was provided. From the swimming pool to the game room to beach chairs and toys and of course the golf cart!! There even was a coffee bar with K-cups provided. The bedding was all very comfortable as was furniture in living room. This home is perfect for families with children. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short because of Tropical storm Debby, but we really enjoyed the few nights and days we spent there.

Thank you for the great review! It’s greatly appreciated!
Check in was seamless and communication with the host was easy with all messages quickly answered. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of dishes for our party of 11. The location was excellent for a family holiday. Surfside Beach is not crowded and relatively quiet compared to Myrtle Beach. All attractions in Myrtle were a short drive away though when we wanted to go out adventuring. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby for anything you need. House was very clean and roomy enough for large families. More than enough towels for showers and pool/beach. Beach access extremely close maybe a block away. The kids loved the pool and the arcade inside the home. I can’t say enough good things about our experience here. We hope to stay again in the future!
The house is beautiful and really is just steps from the beach. Everything you need is included, and there are little touches around the home that really make it special. They even have lots of beach chairs and a wagonvto carry them! Having our own pool was a real treat, and there were tons of pool/beach toys as well. The house is laid out really well so there's plenty of space for everyone, and the game room and Tiki bar are fun! We only had one request during our stay ( NOT a problem) and the owners helped out immediately! The owners sre really available if you need them for anything and are super nice. We would absolutely recommend this home to anyone, and are already looking for dates to re-book for next year!
