We came to Surfside specifically for my son to play baseball at Cal Ripken. Once we arrived at this beautiful house, it was very hard to leave. The pool and hot tub were a family favorite and both were exceptionally clean.....we only went to the beach once!! The golf cart was so much fun and we loved taking rides around town. Alan is so easy to work with, and we very much appreciated that he is OCD, it is the most organized beach rental house I have ever stayed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the house is very quiet. We cannot wait to come back and stay at this house again. It was one of the best trips we ever had!! ##### Stephanie s. ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOSEPH H., Fort Wayne Oct 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clearly a business property The house was perfect for what we wanted, close to the beach with a small pool to relax in. The house wasn't as clean as some people in our group felt it should be but it wasn't anything egregious. We were surprised to I find no linens or towels because we canceled a different beach house that didn't provide those basic amenities. Overall we enjoyed our stay and that is why I gave it 5 stars but I did want to mention some of the things that other guests might want to know. ##### JOSEPH H.

Jun 27, 2017 #### Location good but won't stay again The house needs a good cleaning, ceiling fans dusty & we had to clean them, bath mats dirty & need to be washed, sliding glass door tracks look molded, in one of the bedrooms the lamp on the nightstand when went to turn it on the shade fell off it was like shade was worn out & dry rotten from light bulb, we had to clean 2 of the bathtubs And the master bedroom balcony is unsafe the railing is loose, the house comes with golf cart but it stop on us with with half battery charge & we had to push back to house. This house would be a nice if it had a GOOD cleaning ##### Regina M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2017 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Dave C.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in this home for 15 years. Great location. Great furnishings. The new owner is in the process of upgrading the property. There are two items we'd recommend be fixed. First, is that the TV in the family room isn't hooked to cable. The other TVs in the house are hooked up so it seems like an easy inexpensive fix. Second, the hot tub has the temperature locked at a max of 99 degrees. That temp limit should be raised to 104 degrees. ##### Dave C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Audrey F. Jul 26, 2022 #### Fantastic Location; Needs some TLC Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this property for 12 years. The house is in a fantastic location and size of pool is great. Sadly this year, basic upkeep (cleaning of house and pool, landscaping/trimming of trees, ants in the kitchen) is lacking. For a house this large, more storage is needed for guests' belongings. Launder comforters and check for stains. Not all provided linens in good shape. Hot tub cover is broken. No recycling service as in previous years. Old rusted golf cart and discarded armoire in parking area detracts from the appearance. Investment in a good housecleaning service, pest control service, outside maintenance, and attention to details will greatly improve the general condition and appearance of the property. Our family loves this house and will definitely consider returning in the future. ##### Audrey F.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was good except we were significantly inconvenienced three times by technicians that said they needed to address the rental's network / WiFi system. We were not having any issues with connectivity. The 1st encounter caused me to miss beach time with my family as I had to stay in the unit while the technician tried to fix a problem we were not aware of... after 3 hours, he left without fixing the supposed problem. The 2nd encounter was a Spectrum technician that spent 3 hours from late afternoon to early evening swapping equipment... caused my family to miss a planned dinner out! After the equipment swap, the network / WiFi did not work the next day and a 3rd technician had to come out and fix the issue. More missed beach time for me! Everything was working and don't understand why these technical visits needed to occur on my vacation time... I was just renting the unit. Very dissatisfied about this and feel a rental credit is warranted! I would be happy to hear a reply regarding this unfortunate situation! ##### Timothy S.

Alan called and told me the house was without power and the area was evacuated so he could not even confirm the condition. He offered money back. Since we had our time scheduled off we ask him to let us know when he could get there and check the condition. After the evacuation order was lifted, Alan checked on the property he said it was in good condition but the beach and roads may be a problem and again offered a full refund. We chose to go on down. The city of Surfside did a great cleanup and the house was in excellent condition. The ocean was a little rough, but hey a hurricane just passed through. The house was large and in very good condition. I had my 4 adult kids and 2 grandkids. They all loved the heated pool and hot tub. We were maybe 100 yard from the ocean, maybe closer... We were so close to Bubba's Fish House, while the kids were trying to bring up a menu on the internet I stepped over and got a menu before they could load it on their phone. The house has good decks for sitting and enjoying the ocean breeze, the kitchen was well appointed and the bathrooms clean. I hope to return next year, I can't remember a better family vacation. Thanks Alan for getting this ready post hurricane! ##### RICK B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Candy C.

Reviewer Comments: This is the first time in 10 years that we have booked through a realty company for the vacation. Having stayed in the direct vicinity, the location is perfect. However, there are some things within the house that need reviewed:1. The white table on the front porch needs to be thrown away. Due to the condition of the table/chairs, it couldn't be used. It may be able to be power washed.2. There needs to be towel racks in all of the bathrooms or even towel hooks on the bathroom door.3. Many of the appliances didn't work, such as the mixer. The toaster had to be consistently reattached on the bottom, so we got to the point we didn't use it. A personal preference would be to replace the coffee pot with a Keurig. 3. There were not enough steak knives. We had to share knives when we had steak....there were like 4 knives.4. It was odd that there were not regular spoons. There were iced tea spoons or large tablespoons.5. The upkeep around the pool and hot tub needs to be addressed. There were leaves, weeds, and other debris from trees all around the pool and hot tub. There were leaves there that seemed from winter. 5. Personal preference again, but an umbrella around the pool would have been nice.6. It also did not seem like the pool filters were working. We had to clean the bugs and other debris from the pool daily. Please know that we had a great week, and the house was a relatively great rental. Listing the items above will allow other renters to have a great time at this beach rental. ##### Candy C. ### 8/10 Good #### Brandi D. Mar 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### convenient location Much of the house is recently remodeled it looks like. The rooms were bigger in person than the pictures made them appear, this was most evident in the living/dining room which was a huge relief to not be crowded for space. Check in was super simple. The management company was amazing to work with. The location was great. Our last rental was on the beach so I worried how I’d take being in a second row house but getting to the beach was so quick and easy, just a quick walk across the street, with a crosswalk. There were also many restaurants within a 10 minute walk safely along sidewalks the whole way. The hot tub was warm and ready when we arrived which was great. The hot tub is a nice size, seating 7 so we enjoyed it a lot. I will note, that it does say “heated pool” but whatever type of heat they use I don’t know and I’m only familiar with the propane style we use. But for wherever reason we were told on inquiry that the pool doesn’t heat when it’s below 55 degrees or at night. So not only was it not warm when we arrived but since our first couple days the high barely got to 55 the pool didn’t heat up until our last day (and checkout is 10am so didn’t get to use it). I think “pool with a heater” is a better description than “heated pool” since it was indeed not heated (they came out and turned the heat on the day after we checked in). The hot tub was plenty for us so this would not keep me from choosing this house again. I love that all linens were included, the kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and dishes, including wine glasses. I was also pleasantly surprised to find not only a portacrib but a high chair and bed rail as well. We were traveling with kids and to save space I had just planned to use my stroller as a high chair so was happy I didn’t need to. There was not a baby gate but they didn’t list one either so I didn’t expect one, I just wanted to point that out since there were other non listed baby items so if you’re traveling with an infant you may want one for the bottom of the stairs, ours is old enough to navigate stairs. There was also an abundance of sand and pool toys. ##### Brandi D.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crystal Blue Persuasion. Contactless check in was great, the home was spotless and cozy, and everything worked as advertised. The house felt like home away from home for the week we were there so we will definitely plan another trip in the future! The pool and hottish were great and the ocean is just across the street. :) ##### Desiree L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen S. Sep 22, 2024 #### Crystal Blue Persuasion Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 5th time renting Crystal Blue Persuasion (2nd time through Garden City Realty). It is a lovely home. It is directly across from the ocean. There were many upgrades this year to the home, which made it even more lovely. The only thing I would comment on is the cleanliness of the home. There was ketchup on the kitchen counter in several places and food splatters on the backsplash. The bedroom nightstands and dressers had thick dust and the ceiling fans were dirty and some need replaced. Vacation homes are rented each week and cleaned each week. I would expect the home to be cleaner than it was with having a cleaning every week. There are many restaurants within walking distance and the new Surfside Beach Pier is great! We love this place!! ##### Karen S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Lana K.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week at this house. The location was perfect. The pool was great. The only issue we had was with the dishwasher. I would highly recommend the owners purchase a new one. It was filled with mold. And it looked like it had been there for quite some time. The realty company did send someone to clean it, which still left mold in it. Then they sent someone to run bleach and vinegar through it, but being as bad as it was we didn’t feel safe washing our dishes in it. An upgrade there is definitely warranted.The only other suggestion would be to buy a more modern fridge. We went through tons of bottled water. We are used to a fridge that’s a little bigger and that has a water system in it. Other than that we had a wonderful time! The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. ##### Lana K.

Used every feature of this home from the pool to the hot tub. Family had plenty of room to spread out with two decks and spacious layout. Cooked every night inside and out on the grill. Walk to the beach was perfect. Even used some of the recommendations for cart rentals to beach toys. Lot of great memories made. ##### Tarik L. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Litchfield-Beach-Golf-Resort.h915134.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Vista Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Island-Vista-Resort.h9779164.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Ocean-Reef-Resort.h918976.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunes Village Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Dunes-Village-Resort.h982925.Hotel-Information) > > [Caribbean Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Caribbean-Resort-Villas.h918978.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caravelle Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-The-Caravelle-Resort.h891172.Hotel-Information) > > [Kingston Plantation Condos](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Kingston-Plantation-Condos.h913618.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean 22 Myrtle Beach.](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Ocean-22-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h1321960.Hotel-Information) > > [Landmark Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Landmark-Resort.h893883.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Beach Resort and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Beach-Resort-Hotel-Suites.h37007.Hotel-Information) > > [Grande Shores Ocean Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Grande-Shores-Ocean-Resort.h563916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Resort.h913523.Hotel-Information) > > [Carolina Winds](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Carolina-Winds.h1972365.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Palace-Resort.h1672007.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Myrtle Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Myrtle-Beach-Oceanfront.h33770230.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina Inn At Grande Dunes](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Marina-Inn-At-Grande-Dunes.h1489283.Hotel-Information) > > [Captain's Quarters Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Captains-Quarters-Resort.h1871663.Hotel-Information) > > [Dayton House Resort, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Dayton-House-Resort.h16182.Hotel-Information) > > [Anderson Ocean Club and Spa by Oceana Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Anderson-Ocean-Club-And-Spa-By-Oceana-Resorts.h1773482.Hotel-Information) > > [Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Crown-Reef-Beach-Resort-And-Waterpark.h893307.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's OceanWatch at Grande Dunes](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Marriotts-OceanWatch-At-Grande-Dunes.h994467.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Dunes Resort and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Sand-Dunes-Resort-And-Suites.h22497.Hotel-Information) > > [Compass Cove Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Compass-Cove-Resort.h916929.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Myrtle Beach/Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Myrtle-Beach.h521087.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations South Beach Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-South-Beach-Resort.h1183780.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Colony Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Beach-Colony-Resort.h1597353.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Atlantic Ocean Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Grand-Atlantic-Ocean-Resort.h1102988.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Broadway Resort Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Sheraton-Broadway-Resort-Villas.h583499.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Paradise-Resort.h1589434.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Marriott-Myrtle-Beach-Resort-Spa-At-Grande-Dunes.h972765.Hotel-Information)
