Welcome to Sweet Carolina! Your vacation sunrises will never be more beautiful than from this balcony of this superb beach house.
Will your family or friends be coming from four directions? Would you prefer the privacy of a house, but don't need (or want to pay for) a huge beach house? This beautiful oceanfront home has just changed hands. It was a primary residence, so has not been offered on the rental market previously. There is parking space under the house, with a long driveway, providing room to park four cars. Golf carts, motorcycles and trailers are permitted here.
Inside, you and your family will enjoy comfortable living and dining space with an unobstructed beach and ocean view. There is a fully equipped kitchen with cookware, tableware, dishes, everything needed for meal preparation.
The master bedroom has a king size bed. The second bedroom has a queen and a twin bed and direct bathroom access. The third and fourth bedrooms have queen size beds. All of the bedrooms have TVs. One bedroom is on the first floor, the other three bedrooms are on the second floor.
Beds will be made when you arrive, kitchen and bath towels are provided.
Small dogs (30 lbs and under) may be considered with individual approval and $200 additional rent for the first dog and $100 each additional (if approved). Please contact/email for approval before reserving with pets. Pets are prohibited unless specifically approved in advance. Surfside Beach city ordinance prohibits dogs on the beach between May 1st and Labor Day between the hours of 9AM and 5PM.
Surfside Beach is perfect for a family vacation, away from the traffic and crowds, but still, a short drive to the wide variety of attractions, shopping, dining, and entertainment the Grand Strand has to offer, along with over 100 golf courses. The Surfside Beach pier, restaurants and shops are a few blocks north from Bella Alba. Water slides and amusement parks that kids love are right out on business 17. Luxury shopping and dining are a few minutes north in the Market Commons area. The Murrells Inlet "Restaurant Row" is the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina", it's a few minutes south. Just a short drive north are all the attractions, dining, shopping and nightlife of Myrtle Beach; Broadway at the Beach, Coastal Grand shopping center, the Myrtle Beach boardwalk, amusement parks, and one of the world's largest Ferris wheels. For a unique cultural experience, Brookgreen Gardens displays one of the world's largest collections of sculpture by American artists in a lush outdoor setting, along with a zoo and butterfly garden, it's just a few minutes south.
It's easy to see that you and your family will make oceanfront memories here at Sweet Carolina!

Wonderful

We enjoyed our stay however we wish there were curtains/blinds for the kitchen window and sliding doors. I wish there was salt & pepper and spray Pam to use when I was cooking. Finally, you might want to put down the grippy tape for the steps. My daughter and I both tripped. Thank you.

There are spectacular ocean views where you can watch sunrise from your bed. The kitchen is well equipped for meals. The deck is delightful for relaxing after a day at the beach. We used the very nice grill one night for a cookout. All six family members rated the property five stars. We look forward to returning next year.

Very nice!
This is our second year here, and we have enjoyed the quiet of the area, the beautiful view, and the convenience of the beach front home. We hope to be here again next year. Our young granddaughters love it!
Wonderful property, clean and private with steps to beach. Love that we could bring our dogs. Much thoughtful detail provided by owner. Excited to stay there again!

Lovely Snowbird Stay
Clean and updated home oceanside with cozy living space, four BD/BA, and convenient location. Highlights are two large bedrooms with equally great big ocean views and a fully fenced grassy area for doggie. Very clean, small but well-stocked kitchen, and good general upkeep.
Stayed with family. Home was very nice perfect for pets and hanging out on the beach. Only down side was not a big kitchen to cook in and 2 of the bedrooms don’t have closets just hanging racks.
House was well furnished and decorated. However, there was sand in the beds & ring in bathtub. Quiet & comfortable. Would stay again

Hi Carolyn,
We are so glad that you all were able to enjoy the beautiful ocean views that "Sweet Carolina" has to offer and had a wonderful vacay!
Not sure why there was sand felt in the bed or a "ring" found in the tub as our Housekeeping crew does an amazing job of leaving a property spotless, however we apologize if this was your experience.
Have a wonderful Fall, and hope to see y'all back!
Take care~

Great House
We spent a relaxing week with friends at this well appointed and ver clean house. Loved that we could bring our small dog and there was a fenced area for her. Sitting on the porch feels like you are right on the beach. Highly recommend!

New Year's Eve at the beach
My family came together at Bella Alba to spend some time over the New Year holiday.
The house was amazing!! It was nicely decorated, wonderful views of the ocean, comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. The kitchen was very well equipped and many wonderful family meals were made there.
I would definitely recommend this property to someone looking for a great beach house.

Hey Barb - we are SO glad you had a great vacation. We love Bella Alba too and look forward to working with you again next year!!!!
Our week long stay exceeded all our expectations! We were initially impressed with the cleanliness of the resort. You can see the ocean at all times. The short walk to the beach provides great flexibility to plan your day. The neighbors were quiet. Plenty of options for dining and grocery stores nearby. We loved it!

This house was perfect for us and our dog. The fenced in yard and the direct access to the beach with the gate was just what our pup needed. House was well maintained. Appreciated a housekeeper coming halfway thru our stay (owner paid). Great location - far enough away from hustle bustle but close enough to drive anywhere. We are definitely considering returning next year.

The Only Vacation Partner You'll Ever Need!
iTrip Vacations is the best partner you'll ever want when planning a family friendly vacation!
We used VRBO for many years until we received an A+ referral for iTrip. Mandy and the team at iTrip take the stress out of booking a family vacation because they are so easy to work, organized, and professional. And exactly what you see in the virtual tour of a rental property is exactly what you see when you arrive... no surprises. We highly recommend iTrip Vacations!
The house location was great. Steps away from the beach. Has a large living room and good size bedrooms with a full bath for each bedroom. The yard was perfect for our dog. My only complaint would be the large bulky furniture in the dining room, which made it hard to sit at the table to eat or play games without moving things around. This was our second time staying at the house. Would love to rebook for next year but unfortunately the price has almost doubled for the 2025 season, so will have to look at other properties for next year.
The whole place needed a throughout better cleaning. The kitchen was not very well equipped. But overall the place was right on the beach which is what I wanted.

Hey Kathy,
We apologize if the house was not up to your expectations re: cleanliness, and had we known, we would have been happy to send someone out to resolve any issue you were having. Also, the kitchen is fully stocked, so apologies again if there was something specifically you were looking for, as we have extra items at the Itrip office.
So glad you had a wonderful trip otherwise and have a great summer!!
Everything was great. Thanks for a fenced yard for the dogs. Could be cleaned better as far as dust and floors. Don’t think they clean under couch or beds. Could use a swiffer instead of a broom to clean the sand on the floors.

Hey Stacey,
So glad you all enjoyed your stay with your sweet pups!
Apologies if you felt it wasn't as clean as you'd like, however please know it was thoroughly cleaned before you all arrived, and had we known, our Housekeeping team could have come back out to take care of anything you felt wasn't satisfactory.
Have a great Fall and hope you'll come visit again!
This home is perfect for family,friends and pets!! This was my first time staying at sweet carolina and i will definitely be back! The view is breathtaking whether it's from the bedrooms,kitchen,dining room or porch. The fenced in yard was great for the dogs!! A couple steps and your toes are in the sand! The house was very clean and everything you can possibly need was at your fingertips!! Thank you so very much to the owner for opening up your home to make it our home for a week!! Myself, my family and our furbabies loved it!!!!

Hi John, and wow, what an incredibly nice review and we thank you so very much for your kind words! :-)
It warms our heart to know that you all thought of our place as "a home away from home", and that you had such a relaxing and fun vacation with your family and fur babies!
Please come back and visit us soon, and until next time, take good care and stay well!
Perfection location! Perfect views-lots of windows! Direct access to beach-short walk to water for those with difficulty walking. Overall cleanliness only downfall-management company was responsive and helpful after initial complaint. Lots of decor needing to be moved to have room for our personal belongings. Kitchen on smaller side with little counter space. Beach crowded (prime time in July) had to stake our claim on the beach early am with chairs/umbrellas.

Hey Jennifer,
Thank you for your kind words regarding our beautiful home, its views, perfect location and direct access to the beach. A winning combination for a relaxing and fun time!! :-)
Re: the cleanliness of the house...we spoke with our property manager who indicated she received a text from you, offered to send one of our best cleaners back out to reclean the house, to which you declined. While our Housekeeping team does their very best each and every time they clean properties, given the majority of these properties are beach front (and some are pet friendly) it is likely you could find a grain of sand or two.
Despite this, as well as the decor, the size of the kitchen and the beach being crowded (all which is out of our control and none receiving past complaints) we're so glad you all had a great vacation!
Take care~
