Ocean Access + BBQ Pit: Surfside Beach Family Home

Reviews

• A few qwirks

  3/5

  The location was great and the layout of the house was perfect for us. Getting the house unlocked was tricky and after numerous attempts we got in. We couldn't get any hot water in the upstairs bathroom so the maintenance guy came and it seems one must turn the faucet just right or it goes back to cold. There was no body soap nor hair dryer which has never occurred before in all the rentals we have used.

• Not bad, could be better

  3/5

  Clean, however, house needs many updates. The owner needs to spend some money in many areas to provide guest a better experience. Some light fixtures & sink fixtures look to be dated to 70's. Back deck was wonderful to sit and look at the ocean & beach. A very short walk through the backyard & sand dunes put you on the beach. Backside upstairs bedroom has a balcony overlooking the beach - it is required to go downstairs, step outside to then climb very steep steps to gain access to this balcony - not user friendly (particularly senior citizens) nor practical by any means.

• Fantastic from row location but house needs a good cleaning/remodel

  3/5

  The proximity to the beach is unbeatable! Plus the backyard area is like a tiny private beach itself.The bedrooms are arranged well and the house although small, very comfortably sleeps 12.However, it could use an intense deep cleaning. It’s clear the housekeepers only do your basic sweeping of floors and wipe down of kitchen surfaces. Many areas were caked with dust and the kitchen walls shows signs of old food splatter. In addition some of the cookware was dirty and rusted. One of the kitchen barstools was splintered and had an exposed screw. Two of our party’s members cut their legs in it.This property has the potential to be a gem, but needs some serious TLC.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner:
  "Hi Mallory, we’re glad you enjoyed the beachfront location! However, we’re sorry to hear about the cleanliness concerns. 
  Before your stay, we made several updates to the property, including new furniture and a renovated bathroom, and were surprised by the feedback given the effort we put in. That said, we’ve addressed the splintered barstool and asked our cleaning team to re-check all cookware. 
  Our team reported a large amount of sand left behind during your stay, which may have contributed to the condition you experienced. 
  We appreciate your feedback and are always working to improve for our guests."

• Perfect cozy close to the beach stay!

  5/5

  We loved our stay at this lovely home! It was perfect and had everything we needed pit. The fire pit was fabulous and we grilled hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill. We were just steps from the beach. We will definitely come again!
