This home is beautiful and very well maintained. It is roomy and has everything you need to cook and be comfortable. There is great internet, tvs, grill, parking, and beach supplies. It is also a safe community that has a lot of amenities.The owner was very communicative and helpful with all questions I had. I highly recommend this home.
We had a great time at the beach, and we love staying at OSV. We have always had great experiences with our rentals there. This was no different. Shawn was very easy to communicate with, and responded quickly.
The home was beautiful, the owner was very responsive, and the neighborhood is nice! This is our second time staying at Oceanside Village, first time in this property, and will definitely return!

Thank-you for taking the time to write a review. We're happy you thought the home was accommodating for your needs. Hope to hear from you again!
This space was really great - kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook, clean spaces, tons of beach toys and chairs, beach towels, ect. We've stayed in this neighborhood before and like always it's such a friendly and quiet neighborhood close to the beach. The indoor pool is currently not open, but there's a large outdoor pool, splash pad and hot tub area. We were a little nervous about coming during Memorial Weekend, but the neighborhood and beach were still pretty chill.
The house was great as advertised. Two places to park cars underneath. Storage area in the garage area accessible. Some beach chairs and pool noodles for use. We purchased the parking card and used it for the beach access. That was worth it. Wish we allocated more time to stay in that property.

Thank you for taking time to write a review Brian. Hope you had a great time on the 4th and hope to hear from you next year!
We have a great stay and a great time!! We definitely recommend renting a golf cart and getting the key card!! Everything was so close and the house was perfect!! Thanks again!
The house was a great place to spend the week! The location was great and the house had everything that we needed. Everything was a quick golf cart ride away. Our host responded quickly to the few questions that we had. Our family made some great memories!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The property was in a great community. The owner was easy to work with. The house was as large and appropriated as shown. It was listed as wheelchair accessible though. It did have a wooden ramp that needed work because the boards have aged. However, that was the only wheelchair accessible item. There was no handrails in the bathroom or shower, so we needed to rent items to make it more accessible. On a positive note it had a washer and dryer making laundry easy.
This was our first stay in Oceanside Village and we really liked it. We paid the small fee for the gate card in order to access the private beach parking lot, it was well worth it. As for the house itself it was clean and comfortable and the communications with the owner/agent were great. We all liked the outdoor pool as well.

Really good homeowner, very fast responses when needed.
Check in has changed so it’s a little different than what was written but not a big deal. Make sure to bring $30 cash with you for a parking pass.
House is very clean and well taken care of. Very good spot!

Stay at the cocktail hour
Cable TV was poor. Light in laundry room is a safety hazard could start fire. Lacking chairs to sit and watch the TV

Bob, Although I appreciate you took the time to write a review, I believe it maybe a bit of a miss-representation of the property. The cable is offered by Spectrum on a smart tv platform. I understand technology isn't everyone's strongpoint, however if this was a issue for you I could have walked you through it.
Also, a compact florescent bulb that has burnt out is not a fire hazard, its a simple repair that could have been addressed if brought to my attention.
Finally, how many options for siting would one person require? A couch, love seat, and futon have sufficed for a family of six for the past 8 years.
First impression was excited. We arrived and everything was extremely easy to get in and get started. Rented a golf cart, would love to have one there, but rental was cheaper than outside rentals. The neighborhood was amazing with 2 pools and splash pad. The beach was easily accessible and allowed us to go and come back as needed. Beach was not too crowded and the Conch Cafe looked amazing. Definitely want to stay again and come back next year. Thanks Shawn and appreciate your quick and fast responses.

Our family of 6 was comfortable! House was clean and close to the beach front.
Overall, we had a great stay. We had 2 teens and 2 kids and the six of us fit comfortably in the house. The house was clean upon arrival and Shawn was quick with responding to my emails. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Only downside was not being able to rent an outside golfcart. We had to rent from the village and couldn't take them off of the property. The golf carts had to be plugged into the storage area since there aren't any outdoor outlets. We were so busy enjoying the local attractions though, that we never really got a chance to be in the house to enjoy the Wii or other games. The house would be great for rainy day. The pools are close by by golf cart but we didn't have a chance to enjoy those either. Next time we will plan for a 2 week vacation! Thank you for the great mini vacation!!

We are working on ways to improve our guest experience and are considering a golf cart for the property.
Thanks again!

Rating 9 on a scale from 1 to 10. Signature characteristic of this property- cleanliness. furnishings, decor, and build are not new, very clean and very functional, new refrigerator. A/C nice and cool, good circulation with ceiling fans. Plenty of room for our family of four - spacious. 3 TVs on location, lots of Wii games. TV in the master bedroom!!! which was nice. Board games. 2 bathrooms with one en suite. Minutes from the beach so you can get your steps in! Additionally the indoor pool was also minutes away. There was an outdoor shower although we couldn’t find a way to turn it on. We took advantage of both the pool and the beach and enjoyed ourselves. The property is handicap ♿️ accessible and makes wheeling our luggage easier. The kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed and we cooked twice - breakfast and dinner- and there was plenty of space for a 4 person family like ours. Extra person could sleep on the futon but we did not need it. Plenty of extra pillows and blankets.
So we have some feedback on areas of improvement:
1. The exterior ramp and stairs, though conveni
The house was exactly as described! Very clean and cute. I’m about 4 hours from Myrtle Beach and was there to officiate a Wedding. Who knew we would be there in the middle of a hurricane. Shawn the owner text me multiple times just to check on me. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok. Thank you Shawn for going the extra mile!
