What an absolutely wonderful vacation. The house was spacious, clean, and it was very quiet. Plenty of room for all. And plenty of things to do as well! The beach was wonderful, the indoor and outdoor pools were relaxing and the kids loved driving around in the golf cart! A fun and relaxing vacation.

Owner response:Thanks so very much for your kind words about our home at the beach!

We had a great time here. The property actually peresently surprised us when we arrived. We saw it online but when we opened the door and walked around I was amazed at what a Gem this house is... Just can't beat the area. Beach is clean and not packed. Right amount of activites and amenities. The kids loved the use of the playgrounds ,pools and being chauffered in the golf cart. We can't wait to go back next year.

Owner response:Thanks for your comments - we're so very glad you had a good vacation experience. Adding the 3rd bedroom really makes the place even more enjoyable. Our kids (and we) love the place, the neighborhood, the beach and all that comes with being so close to Myrtle Beach itself. Thanks again.

Delightful early vacation feb 2011

We had a most enjoyable months stay in Feb 2011 at the Wilkies beach house at oceanside Village. We drove from Ottawa , arrived a day early, asked if we could occupy, no problem at all. The house was in impeccable order , beautifully clean and equipped better than any place we had rented in 50 years !! Every thing one could wish for to ensure a comfortable stay was there The only thing missing was a teapot and we rapidly remedied that and left it for next time !! Everything worked the equipment was all the very best , it was just as if we had furnished it for our personal use . One has to recall that it is the Wilkies own seaside vacation house and it shows.their excellent taste and artistic talents We would have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Kingfisher Nest to family and friends who want a quiert and peaceful location very close to the beautiful Carolina Beaches. The Golf cart was most useful in getting us to the parking lot on the beach ,saving our energy for strolling there . We are both in our very late 80,s and need a little help sometimes.!! In passing , the Conch Cafe opened whilst we were there and is an excellent place for a meal or a drink . We certainly hope to go back again to Kingfisher for a further visit.

Owner response:Thanks for your wonderful comments. We're looking forward to seeing you again!

My family and I have been staying in Ocean Side Village for more than 20 years. This home is by far the nicest one-with so many extras! This year we stayed for 2 weeks and didn't even miss our own home. It is nicely decorated and has many ammenities that add comfort to your stay. This was our second visit to this vacation home, and it will be at the top of my list next year when vacation planning rolls around again!

The best family vacation we ever had!!!!!!

My family and I absolutely adored the Wilkie beach house! We are a family of 4 and the house had plenty of space. We didn't even use the third bedroom. It is so close to the ocean that you can feel the breeze from the balcony. Our girls, ages 7 and 3, loved the golf cart. At around 9 every night we would take a ride around Oceanside Village and our 3 year old drifted off to sleep everytime. Oceanside Village is a wonderful, quiet neighborhood that is perfect for family. We enjoyed the people there so much. We laugh because it reminded my husband and I of the show "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." At times, we had to stop in the street to allow the ducks to cross. The pictures that the owner provides depicts the house perfectly. It was crisp and clean and provided us with everything we needed for our stay. We chose to eat breakfast at the house each morning and went out for dinner each night. This alone would save a ton of money. We would certainly recommend this home to anyone looking to have a relaxing family vacation!

The house was exactly as the listing described. We were at the water's edge after a 4 minute leasurely walk although we usually loaded up the included golf cart with beach chairs and umbrellas and were there even sooner. The house was clean and the kitchen well-stocked with items we needed to prepare breakfast and lunch. Having the house raised up provides a little privacy on the large deck, which was nice to relax on. And the trees provided a little shade and breeze which was especially nice at night after a long day at the beach and after golf. And we absolutely loved the location! Oceanside Village is large enough that just riding around in the golf cart was fun for my younger daughter and a great way to have a little downtime. The management even provided free ice cream from a freezer cart on Monday afternoon by one of the pools. Being right in the middle of the Surfside Beach pier and the Garden city pier was great as we walked to both of them on different nights for dinner. Murrells Inlet was a quick drive for dinner one night, and we also took some time to head up to Barefoot Landing and Broadway at the Beach so we could compare the areas for a future trip. Without a doubt, all 4 members of our family agreed that Surfside Beach was the place for us. And as we headed home on Saturday, we all agreed that this would be the house to return to for future trips. I looked at many houses in Oceanside Village and asked the owners several questions before booking this property. The owners of "Kingfisher Nest" were prompt in the responses and provided additional pictures as well as helpful hints about the area. We loved our week at the beach and hope to return to this same house in the future!

Owner response:Thanks for your kind review of our beach house. We enjoy spending time there even more than our "visitors"......but don't forget we always give a discount to repeat vacationers!

From printed guestbook: We wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our winter months at Kingfisher Nest as "snowbirds". Although the weather was much cooler than usual this year we stayed warm & cozy! Your beach home is lovely & shows you've put much work & thought in decorating it. Having a golf cart was a wonderful convenience. Thank you for everything. Our stay here will be remembered for a very long time as a wonderful winter retreat! Jan-Mar 2009.

Beach house guest book comment: We had such a great time here. It's very sad to be packing up and leaving. you have done a wonderful job with the decorating of the house. We felt right at home. This allowed us to really relax. Our 1-year old loved the rides on the golf cart. We hope to be back again next summer.

Beach house guest book comment: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful beach house. You did an excellent job with the place and we had a great time. We especially enjoyed the golf cart, it was very helpful getting our stuff to the Beach. It was also a pleasure working you and your family-they were very welcoming. Thanks again for a great time - we hope to be back again next year.

Beach house guest book comments: We had a great time at the Beach House. These past two weeks gave us exactly what we needed to recharge our batteries. Love the artwork and decor. Looking forward to returning next year. We gave the swing and hammock a good workout. We now know that a 2 week vacation is the way to go....our first ever in 20 years. Thanks for sharing your beach bungalow. We called it "Perrydise".

We stayed here for a week in June and can't say enough good things about this house. It was very clean and had plenty of room for our family of four. The golf cart was wonderful for going to the beach (though it was an easy walk, too), the indoor pool, the playground, etc. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The outdoor shower was a lifesaver with all the sand that two kids accumulate on the beach! Oh, and the beds were extremely comfortable. I truly can't think of a negative thing to say about the place. We'd love to come back!

This home is absolutely gorgeous. The amenities were too many to mention. Our week was wonderful, the only thing we needed were our swimsuits. The weather was great and the shade of this beach house was awesome. It is on a quiet cul de sac which was great for the kids to play. We rode on the golf cart nightly to the beach which is only 2 blocks away. Would recommend anyone to stay here for a relaxing week. The owners have done a beautiful job with the decor, it is a priceless piece of paradise!! Can't wait to go back!

We enjoyed the beach home on Kingfisher very much. It had everything you could need and more. The furniture was very nice and the beds were very comfortable. Home was very clean and you couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay. Great location!

Great place to stay. Accomodations are wonderful and extremely clean and roomy. Nice furniture and 'beachy' decor. Loved the place and would highly recommend to others. Close proximity to all your needs at the beach. For sure, I'll go back.
