The Neighborhood: We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! This particular home is located in on the eastern end of Surfside and very close to a great beach access point and boat launch. A quick drive will take you to some of the more popular restaurants and seaside bar and grills or head to Jetty Park which is an ideal spot for fishing enthusiasts, surfing, shelling, and beachcombing, there's something for everyone to do. Getting Around: No touristy chain restaurants, shops or hotels. Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Red Snapper) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination. Other Things to Note: HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE: The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross).

We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests! 🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY: Bring Fido(s)!
