Surfside Beach 2023 family vacation

Property and location are terrific. Our family has stayed here before and we enjoy the location and layout. Some of the furniture and mattresses will need to be updated in the next year or two, but these are minor in relationship to our overall vacation experience. Will stay here again if available !!

Home is so close to the ocean and has a lovely private pool. My four boys and their families had a great time. House is spacious, never felt like we were on top of each other. Kitchen was fully equipped, though old appliances. Plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. We loved it.

Another enjoyable vacation

This was our second time staying at this location. Everything was clean and the kids really enjoyed the pool. My only negative comment was that the mattresses were too soft for most of my family. We would definitely book again to stay here.

Great location

Quiet neighborhood, only steps from beach. Property is very easy to find and is close to grocery store & restaurants. Beds are softer than we have at home but very comfortable. Option to heat the pool was great as we had some chilly days during our stay. Issues we experienced were resolved quickly. Would stay here again!

Great family place

We had a great stay here! House was as described and more! Enjoyed cooking in this kitchen, had a very nice set up There was a lot of seating for eating family meals together in the large open concept and for playing games in the evening. Really appreciated the extra beverage fridge under the counter! Loved the pool area and seating inside to pool for our older guests to enjoy while the kids splashed around! Will recommend and we hope to stay here again!

A fun & relaxing place to stay

Our family ranges in age from 3 to 62 and we all had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. We made wonderful memories and left part of our hearts back there for sure. The home is clean, huge and we had lots of space to do inside and outdoor activities. We paid for the heated pool and it was awesome! We would definitely stay here again.

Overall Amazing

Great location with everything you could hope for at the property. We had a group of 9 of us stay here and could have had a better experience. The home looks even better than the pictures and is well kept. 1 block from the beach access point. Beach wasn’t too busy so there was room for us to spread out and enjoy the beach. Owners are easily contacted by phone and very understanding and helpful. Would absolutely come back based on this trip.
