Our run club loved the location, ample space and heated pool! The beach was close. The pier was the perfect distance for biking and running to. We enjoyed local venues such as the sculpture gardens, and great restaurants and loved the heated pool option for the end of March! We would visit again

Home is so close to the ocean and has a lovely private pool. My four boys and their families had a great time. House is spacious, never felt like we were on top of each other. Kitchen was fully equipped, though old appliances. Plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. We loved it.

Surfside Beach 2023 family vacation

Property and location are terrific. Our family has stayed here before and we enjoy the location and layout. Some of the furniture and mattresses will need to be updated in the next year or two, but these are minor in relationship to our overall vacation experience. Will stay here again if available !!

Another enjoyable vacation

This was our second time staying at this location. Everything was clean and the kids really enjoyed the pool. My only negative comment was that the mattresses were too soft for most of my family. We would definitely book again to stay here.

Great location

Quiet neighborhood, only steps from beach. Property is very easy to find and is close to grocery store & restaurants. Beds are softer than we have at home but very comfortable. Option to heat the pool was great as we had some chilly days during our stay. Issues we experienced were resolved quickly. Would stay here again!

Great family place

We had a great stay here! House was as described and more! Enjoyed cooking in this kitchen, had a very nice set up There was a lot of seating for eating family meals together in the large open concept and for playing games in the evening. Really appreciated the extra beverage fridge under the counter! Loved the pool area and seating inside to pool for our older guests to enjoy while the kids splashed around! Will recommend and we hope to stay here again!

Owner was very quick to respond and took care of anything needed immediately. Had a great time overall. Pool was a great hit for our family. Would be helpful to have recommendations of local restaurants readily available but that’s just a small detail.

A fun & relaxing place to stay

Our family ranges in age from 3 to 62 and we all had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. We made wonderful memories and left part of our hearts back there for sure. The home is clean, huge and we had lots of space to do inside and outdoor activities. We paid for the heated pool and it was awesome! We would definitely stay here again. The owner is responsive and helpful. We wish we were back there!!

Overall Amazing

Great location with everything you could hope for at the property. We had a group of 9 of us stay here and could have had a better experience. The home looks even better than the pictures and is well kept. 1 block from the beach access point. Beach wasn’t too busy so there was room for us to spread out and enjoy the beach. Owners are easily contacted by phone and very understanding and helpful. Would absolutely come back based on this trip.

About the host

Hosted by Allen Rivers

Host profile image
We have invested our heart and soul into this house in an effort to make it a second home for all who stay. Our hope is that Fiddler on the Reef gives you a taste of home when you vacation with us. We are dedicated to creating a memorable experience for all, so please don't hesitate to contact us! So if you desire a CLEAN and RELAXING retreat, come get some sand in between your toes and wind down at FIDDLER ON THE REEF!

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in Surfside Beach every year with our loved ones. The clean white beach and safe community is what has brought us back every year. Our family includes grandparents, new parents, newborns, newlyweds, and teenagers. We are guaranteed a good time for any age! Surfside Beach is a safe environment for our children and is close to any attraction we desire. This is primarily a PRIVATE BEACH HOME community, so you won't have to deal with as many crowds as Mrytle Beach.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the front porch or the back porch that overlooks the beautiful private pool. Listen to music while watching the kiddos play in the pool. Head to the beach anytime of day for a relaxing moment to walk the shoreline for shells, lounge in the chair with a good book or some beach games, or enjoy and cold beverage while wading in the water!
