We met Amy and she was great. The house and location worked wonderful for us. We stayed here with our entire family including our paraplegic sister who is in a wheelchair and the elevator was incredible for her. The house is so close to the beach you are able to walk over. Amazing!

Wonderful family vacation!

We had a great week at Sweet Tea by the Sea! We had ten people ages 18-65. Very short walk to the beach. Beach wagon and chairs were available and we used them daily! We rented a golf cart to drive around town, but it wasn’t a necessity. Other reviews noted The Trailer Bar that is a couple doors down, but it didn’t bother us and we actually enjoyed the music! The house had everything we needed! We were all very comfortable and look forward to staying again!

We planned a brief trip to our favorite location on the East Coast! Amy did a great job communicating and the property was well equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to enjoy our stay - even toothbrushes in the event we forgot ours. The owners were very accessible, accommodating, and happy to answer any questions we had promptly. GREAT JOB and thank you for an incredible short get away!!

Family Celebration of life

The place was great, clean and honey. We enjoyed the place which was convenient to where we needed to be. Only one negative:It was 2 doors down from the trailer bar which had music Friday and Saturday night. Was ok if you were inside but pretty loud if you were outside. They did stop at 11:00.. overall a great place.

Great week!

We had a fabulous day in this wonderful home. The location was such a quick walk to the beach and we enjoyed the music from the nearby trailer bar and being so close to everything. We really enjoyed our time out on the front porch. The owner has really put a lot of thought into everything a family would need while there, making the packing process much easier. Any issue or question we had was met with a quick response from the owner. What a wonderful week making memories with our young adult children and the grandparents. We will definitely be back to this place!

Vacation 2023

We were so comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sweet Tea. The beach is easy access, within walking distance which was nice for hauling all of our supplies. We had the luxury of sitting on the deck and listening to live music from the Trailer Bar. It was a most pleasurable experience and plan on returning next year. The owners are great and they answers texts promptly. Thank you for sharing your home. The Ackmans

Sweet Tea Beach House Review

Pro: The house location was great for beach access especially for kids because there’s a playground on the way to the beach. The spacious living room and kitchen was nice for large family. And plenty of beds. Con: The house wasn’t very clean; showers and floors were dirty upon arrival. Dog hairs and sand on the bed that wasn’t ours that we noticed when we were checking out and had to strip the beds. There were a few too many unwanted critters in the house (mainly kitchen). The beds and pillows were uncomfortable.
