Check in was super easy. Cleanliness was a little to be desired. I understand Surfside isn’t a huge tourist destination and that most come with fishing intentions, that it is a very weather beaten place. But things about the house could be kept up better considering it’s a vacation rental property. A warning should come with the surroundings areas water conditions, city water specifically. I know you as a rental company or the owner of the house can not do much about it besides a water filtration system but it definitely was surprising. ##### Marty A.

May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Beach House This beach house is a nice place for 10 people, and sleeps everyone comfortably. The game room is fun for the kids, and we did spend some time in there with ours playing the games downstairs. Kitchen had everything needed to cook meals and more, which was very nice. Beach is just a short walk away, as well as a gas station and a small grocery store are very close by. They also have a charcoal grill there, which we used 2 nights for dinner. That was also nice, as some of the places we have stayed in the past did not have one. I think our only two complaints was the water smelled weird, which I can not blame the host for that, as that seems more of a city issue. And the LockBox for the key to the house would not open. BUT they were in constant communication with us on that, and we did get inside after 5-10 minutes of messaging back and forth, which we used that time to unload our things and take upstairs anyways. Overall, we had a great time staying at this location with our family, friends and 2 dogs, and would not have a problem to book here again. ##### Justin E.

Jun 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family beach getaway Our son and 2 grandchildren (6 & 8) joined us at the Surfside Beach cottage for a 2 day beach visit. The kids LOVED the house, especially the “private” loft room, and both wished we could live there by the beach. The house is very nicely decorated, furnished and supplied—but casual enough that we weren’t worried about the kids damaging things. It was clean, instructions were clear, and communication prompt. Great getaway for our family! ##### Catherine C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Val M. Apr 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Poor property conditions We are a family of 4 and rented the property on 3/10 - 3/13. However our stay was disappointing, so we left a day early on the morning of March 12th. We texted the property owner to let him know we are leaving and shared our disappointment regarding the property along with several pictures we took. His response was just “sorry” with no efforts to rectify the situation. The condition of the property was far below what we’ve experienced with prior VBRO rentals - to site a few items: \*Bugs were everywhere \*Dust and dirt everywhere \*Dead cockroaches underneath my son’s bed \*The stairs leading to the front door had bird poop all around that had caked up over a long period of time \*The only bathroom in the house had a leaking toilet. \*The floors were not sturdy and portions are loose \*The bathtub even moves \*The window in the room with bunk beds was open with no screen and won’t close \*The kitchen had multiple broken drawers \*In addition, the property owner provided us with the wrong lockbox code when we arrived and that should’ve been a good warning not enter the property So, bottom line the property was fraudulently represented as clean and welcoming. ##### Val M.
