FRONT ROW SEATS TO THE GULF OF AMERICA! There's No Better View TOTAL RENOVATION

This OCEAN FRONT 2-story home has extraordinary views of Surfside Beach and the Gulf of Mexico! Take it all in from your FRONT ROW seats to witness the beautiful blue skies, tempting ocean water and sandy beach. Our property is truly in the best location you could hope for at Surfside Beach. Our beach house has everything you need for a perfect vacation or week-end getaway!

Linger in the living room with magnificent 180 degree views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Step onto the 20 x 30 foot deck to lounge, nap, sit and sip and visit with friends and family.

From here, you can watch your kids frolick at the beach with peace of mind they are mere steps away from you while you kick back on the deck. Our deck is a "shore" thang and will not disappoint with its vast size and amazing view.

Napping is highly encouraged and sometimes unavoidable!

Sit back and take in God's glory year-round where you may be teased by uninhibited hummingbirds and huge pelicans that seem to always hover just overhead.

After indulging your lazy self in the hammock, stroll down your very own private bridge that leads directly to the ocean. Go on---dip your toes in or go all the way!

Surfside is home to some of the best surf fishing, beach combing, shelling, boating and swimming. If that sounds too exhausting then hang out on the deck, under the deck or kick back at the beach.

This home offers you a warm inviting and comfortable oasis, whether you are seeking an adult get-away or a family-oriented escape. Everything you need to make your vacation memories is waiting for you at Gulf Coast Sanity!

Our highest aim is to ensure that your stay exceeds your expectations. Your comfort and satisfaction is our ultimate goal. We go the distance to make sure everything is convenient, accommodating, relaxing and full of fond memories!

To accommodate you and your family, the house has TVs (with Roku) and DVD players in each room and high speed wireless internet. Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for cooking and dining. Accessories also include blender, grilling tools, Keurig coffee maker and regular Mr. Coffee coffee maker.

The property is fenced and the deck includes 2 latched gates for added security and safety of your little ones.

All linens, towels and bedding are included in each room. You will need to provide your own beach towels and beach chairs, as we do not allow ours to leave the property or be taken to the beach.

While some of the items listed below may be available for your use, you should plan to bring the following: charcoal, lighter fluid, umbrellas, beach chairs, tents, mosquito spray for yourself and even the yard, beach toys, beach towels, bottled water (don't drink the water!), soap, shampoo and conditioner, paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, toothepaste, washing detergent (if more is needed), and flashlights.

We loved the beach view, all the rooms were clean, it’s accessible to the beach! My family enjoyed it. The only thing is that the house had some ants roaming around and the smell of the water in the restrooms was strong (that is out of the property owner control). Great communication! Beautiful property.

Fabulous Stay

We had a wonderful time. The property is as described as far as proximity to the beach. Communication with the host was easy and our host was very responsive (usually within 24 hours). The property was clean and well stocked (bath towels, blankets, kitchen supplies, etc). All in all, a fabulous stay.

Perfect beach getaway

This house was right on the beach. Easy walk from the back porch down a decked pathway. We used our wagon to take our chairs and umbrella to the beach. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and very roomy. We loved having our morning coffee on the porch over looking the waves. The owner left very detailed instructions. It was a perfect getaway.

Our only complaint is the mattress need to be updated, and the bedroom to thr left downstairs needs curtains, when the motion light comes on it shines into the room. We really enjoyed the house and its location.

The Palmores were pleased!!

We rented this beach house to stay in for the family reunion at Stahlman Park. The house was nice just as pictured. I loved the decor…. It was the smallest of things that I enjoyed like the glitter in the upstair bathroom walls. The kitchen had everything I needed to make my potato salad for the reunion. The distance to the beach was perfect!! If I could change anything about the house and location I wouldn’t!! The whole family was pleased. The owner personally reached out to us and gave us tips and gave us her number in case we needed her. We did not have to bother her because everything was perfect!!!

Family/friends Beach Front Stay

Wonderful stay! We were four couples with children all under 4. The house was well equipped for kids, had a stocked kitchen, and was an easy few steps from the beach. It was everything we were looking for. A few things we especially appreciated: good outdoor shower/hosing setup, baby gate available in the house, charcoal grills outside, gated patio, outlet covers. A few minor things we noted: not much available cutlery (we’d brought our own plasticware so no affect on us), one room had an open area to downstairs (covered by shades) making it pretty loud for the baby there. Overall beautiful, clean house with everything we needed.

More positive than negative

Our family enjoyed our stay but a few things need repair and the outside siding needs washing. First floor bathtub faucet needs attention to work correctly. Stains on ceiling in the living room, and the front door is swollen and rubs. The decks were great with chairs to sit in to enjoy the view of the water. The air conditioning kept the house cold. Ample supply of kitchen dishes, pots and pans and utensils but the kitchen table was very sticky. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We would consider staying there again if these minor changes and repairs were made.

Great location, easy beach access. Plenty of room for my family (8 adults, 3 children). Big deck overlooking beach with latches on gates so 1 year old grandson could roam all he wanted. Only problem we had was the dishwasher didn’t do a good job of cleaning but we just hand washed everything wasn’t that big of deal would definitely rent again

Family Vacation Gift

The property was just OK. Not worth the price. The pictures need to be updated this property is not newly renovated. Hammock was rusted in place and 4 inches off the ground. The small table and chairs pictured not on property. There was a Broken Liquid Candle holder attached to the table where a umbrella would've been nice to have. The deck is not new and there are boards missing/Gap from the lower level ramp. There are Rusty Screws protruding from the outdoor shower that my grand baby stepped on. The Walkway is advertised as private however is shared with the neighbor. There is no under patio swing as showing in the pictures and the sand box is far from full of sand to play in. The outside plastic chairs downstairs are all cracked and weathered our daughter sat in one and it broke on both sides she hit her head hurt her back and was stabbed by the back arm portion of the chair. The tiles and grout in the front door area are all broke and shift when you walk on them. The listing say's there are 3 bathrooms which is also false as 1 of them was just a small spot under the stairs with a toilet and sink no shower. All toilets very rusty. House smelled of mold & mildew. Ceiling had spots on it where it had leaked and there was rust and thick dust all around the ceiling vents in every room. The coffee pot had almost 1/4 of an inch of dust on it. Not sure why we are paying for the cleaning fee if it is not being cleaned. Knifes very dull utensils in kitchen covered in rust
