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!

What a view!

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.

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!

Nice home perfect for pets

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.

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!

A sweet visit to Sweet Carolina

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!

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.

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!

EXCELLENT

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.

Nice Beach House

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.

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.

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.

Sweet Carolina was perfect!

This house was absolutely perfect! We had 7 people and never felt crowded. Being right on the beach was wonderful! Beautiful beach views from kitchen, Living Room and two upstairs bedrooms. The entire house was clean, well kept, and the kitchen was stocked with basic supplies/equipment needed to cook and serve meals. There is a Food Lion and Wine & Spirits store a mile down the road.There are a few restaurants in walking distance. We walked to River City and Conch Cafe (both were great not a long wait). We took a quick Uber ride to Murrells Inlet for dinner too (Inlet Crab House and Fire to Table..both were delicious). The grill is older and uses charcoal but it worked perfect for our burgers/dogs on July 4th! We kept a cooler on the back deck stocked with water and drinks to stay cool on the beach! Can’t wait to go back to Sweet Carolina!
