Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great time at Surfside Beach Beautiful house with all the amenities we needed. We had 4 adults and 3 children under 10. Lots of toys for the beach. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. Close to stores so quick and easy to get groceries. Plenty of space for everyone. Loved that it was right on the beach. We didn't have to cross any roads or cross any dunes. ##### Loretta P.
