Location Location Location! And this beach house had it. Front row with easy access to the beach. Lovely to sit on the porch swing early morning and evening with the ocean breeze.
We are so happy that we stayed here!The views are just beautiful....especially in the morning when you can see the pelicans in groups catching some fish!Marty is also very cordial and gave us a call just to see how we were doing.Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!Best always,Barbara
Clean rooms,great views the house it self can use some upgrades like paint and some siding replacement more for esthetics deck did not feel satble so we didn't use it wather pressure in downstairs bath very minimum other then that a good little spot for a weekend get away
Wonderful stay. Clean and comfortable. Easy access to the beach. Being able to use the firepit was nice as we all wanted to be outside, but it was a bit chilly the weekend we stayed.
We loved our stay at this lovely home! It was perfect and had everything we needed pit. The fire pit was fabulous and we grilled hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill. We were just steps from the beach. We will definitely come again!
Really enjoyed staying here. Great location on the beach. We had 3 adults , 2 kids and 2 teens and there was plenty of room. Loved the swings on the deck facing the Gulf. No problems , comfortable and had a great time. Check in was smooth , kitchen well equipped, beds big and comfortable and good BBQ pit. Left you some charcoal. Go and have fun !
The house setup is fantastic, and beach access is just a short walk away from the backyard. My only recommendation is to bring bottled water for drinking and washing bottles if you have a baby. There is a clean water faucet to the right when you’re facing the sink, but it's a small tank and can run out of water quickly, especially when caring for a baby and a two-year-old.
Our stay was lovely. They had the house decorated for Christmas which made our family exchange time even better. We lived being on the shoreline so we didn’t have to drive anywhere. We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time.

property was clean for the most part.. host was very nice also maintenance guy. Beds that we slept on had hair on the beds like the sheet were not washed and flooring were not cleaned in certain areas. House is at an excellent location and very nice. I guess when you pay 248 for cleaning so i expect cleaning.. like instruction state leave as you come in so i expect cleaning cause im paying for it.. but it was a pleasant and relaxing weekend.
We had a nice little getaway. The house was clean. A little small on the main level for our crew. Not enough seating. The house itself is very outdated. Most beds were comfortable, other than one of the beds in the master upstairs, bar in middle is uncomfortable to sleep in. Great location, walk to beach and close to restaurants. House manager was very accommodating, and would stay again if with a lighter crew.
The house worked for us. I loved the view of the ocean.
We were however disappointed about the downstairs. The chairs were missing or turned over. We had promised the children scores. We managed a few (was windy) but could not sit around the fire pit.
The location was great and the layout of the house was perfect for us. Getting the house unlocked was tricky and after numerous attempts we got in. We couldn't get any hot water in the upstairs bathroom so the maintenance guy came and it seems one must turn the faucet just right or it goes back to cold. There was no body soap nor hair dryer which has never occurred before in all the rentals we have used.

Not bad, could be better
Clean, however, house needs many updates. The owner needs to spend some money in many areas to provide guest a better experience. Some light fixtures & sink fixtures look to be dated to 70's. Back deck was wonderful to sit and look at the ocean & beach. A very short walk through the backyard & sand dunes put you on the beach. Backside upstairs bedroom has a balcony overlooking the beach - it is required to go downstairs, step outside to then climb very steep steps to gain access to this balcony - not user friendly (particularly senior citizens) nor practical by any means.
Unlocking door was difficult.
Water was not useable due to smell.
No garbage bags found
Had to purchase toilet paper & paper towels.

Bill, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
"Hi Bill, thanks for staying with us in Surfside Beach. We're disappointed to hear that your stay did not go as smoothly as we would have liked.
-Regarding the lock, we have a Schlage lock installed that utilizes a number code to enter. We've never had issues with it and the lockbox is only to be used as a backup. If there was any trouble with the locks, we would have been more than happy to assist.
-We're sorry if you were caught off guard by the water. This is a known issue when Surfside experiences heavy rainfall. For this reason, we ask our guests to bring their own drinking and cooking water and we supply a dispenser for variously sized jugs. When you notified us of this during your stay, my son promptly responded and we purchased chemically treated water filters to address it. I also reached out to our city water department who informed me that the cause was related to the merging of Freeport and Surfside Beach water. We are sorry if this disrupted your stay.
-As for the essentials, we supply a starter kit for all our guests that consist of 3 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, 2 trash bags, and 3 paper towel rolls. This amount has always been enough for our guests and is the standard method for short-term vacation rentals.
While we do regret our home was not up to your expectations, we truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!"

Disliked: Cleanliness
The owner/realtor was easy to communicate with, very helpful and quick to respond to my emails. Great beachfront location. AC works really well, it gets extremely cold at night. The house needs extensive deep cleaning and TLC. The downstairs bathroom did not seem cleaned properly upon arrival and smelled of urine. I cleaned it with cleaning products that I brought. The air vents were full of mold spots and dust. The faucet and shower water is brown and smells of rust. Two of the windows in the dining room do not lock properly. There is a big dip in the kitchen floor. Every kitchen utensil is extremely old/questionable cleanliness so bring your own. I would not book this beach house again.
Fantastic from row location but house needs a good cleaning/remodel
The proximity to the beach is unbeatable! Plus the backyard area is like a tiny private beach itself.The bedrooms are arranged well and the house although small, very comfortably sleeps 12.However, it could use an intense deep cleaning. It’s clear the housekeepers only do your basic sweeping of floors and wipe down of kitchen surfaces. Many areas were caked with dust and the kitchen walls shows signs of old food splatter. In addition some of the cookware was dirty and rusted. One of the kitchen barstools was splintered and had an exposed screw. Two of our party’s members cut their legs in it.This property has the potential to be a gem, but needs some serious TLC.

From the owner: "Hi Mallory, we’re glad you enjoyed the beachfront location! However, we’re sorry to hear about the cleanliness concerns. Before your stay, we made several updates to the property, including new furniture and a renovated bathroom, and were surprised by the feedback given the effort we put in. That said, we’ve addressed the splintered barstool and asked our cleaning team to re-check all cookware. Our team reported a large amount of sand left behind during your stay, which may have contributed to the condition you experienced. We appreciate your feedback and are always working to improve for our guests."
