This is a cute 2-story house with excellent proximity to the beach for easy waterfront access. The home is well-maintained and clean. Communication with the host was seamless. The water pressure is good but you will need to bring your own bottled water for drinking. Mosquitoes were fierce during our stay which limited the deck time, but that is not something the host can control. The house is next to the main road through town. This was a nice place in Surfside Beach.

Although the house doesn't sit directly in front of the beach, you can still get a good view from the top deck. It was a small house, but that's what we were looking for. Who needs a huge house when you're planning on spending majority of your time outdoors anyway?? It was clean, cute and easily accessible. Hose at the bottom of the steps to rinse off with. Trashcan right outside in case you make a lot of trash. Washer/dryer is a nice touch. I even got the meet the owners of the home while we were there and they were great! I highly recommend. 5/5!

Little piece of paradise!

We needed a vacation that included beautiful scenery and didn't involve a lot of walking due to health reasons. This was it! So close to the beach, the house was cute and clean, and we had a great time!

Cute rental

Super cute rental. It’s much higher up than the most of the other homes in the area so we had a great view of the ocean. Easy walk down to the beach and to the little tiki bar and cart rental place around the corner.

Family beach trip

Last minute beach trip. Had friends going to be at the beach at the time we were looking to come. We were looking for something last minute that was close to them and to the beach. This listing was perfect. The price was right, the location was right and we enjoyed the property very much.

The house was very nice and well stocked. Easy walk to the beach. My daughter accidentally left her swimsuit in the dryer and the owner was very kind to reach out to me so that my daughter didn’t lose it.
