La Vita Bella offers a wonderful private, quiet, vacation spot just a few miles from all the attractions and entertainment of Myrtle Beach, Murrel's Inlet & Cherry Grove.
Imagine: You return to La Vita Bella after a day at the clean, wide sand beach and relax on the balcony overlooking the private pool - sipping a cool refreshing drink - watching the pelicans dip & swoop over the Ocean View. Or maybe, you awaken in the morning and step outside onto your Master Suite Balcony and watch the sunrise-colors change over the Atlantic. Our favorite? Watching the moon rise with his handsome reflection dancing on the waves - great southern sky views from the Master Balcony.
This NO-Smoking, NEW Home is Professionally Decorated & Maintained - with all modern amenities. La Vita Bella has 2400 Square feet of open spaced luxury offering plenty of room for entertaining as well as 5 Bedrooms, 4 with private bath. This home can easily accommodate 12!

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We vacationed here for several years and really got to know the area. We found Surfside/Myrtle Beach area to be clean, welcoming, attractive AND affordable.
The Unique Benefits at this Castle
La Vita Bella is located in a great neighborhood - quiet and well maintained. The beach is right accross the street and does NOT have a public parking area, which means the beach is less crowded than many other spots on the Grand Strand. We especially like spending the day at the beach and then returning to LVB to enjoy our private pool. And when we want to go out - everything is within a 10 minute drive -
Without Public Parking - which means a less crowded beach! Bring your wagon for the ramped access makes fetting on the beach EASY - -
Small park with slides, swings, tennis courts and picnic benches. Right next to public library.
Go fishing off the Pier! Or just take a walk to see the fish in the sea. Also - several restaurants to be sampled.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
We live in the Mtns but LOVE the ocean. We vacationed in the Myrtle/Surfside area & had a great time w/ many things to do - we returned often. As our family grew, we found Surfside Beach to be the perfect place for kids - The neighborhood is perfect. We hope you'll enjoy all South Carolina, Surfside & Myrtle has to offer. You'll want to keep coming back too - many of our guests do!

We are repeat renters to La Vita Bella. It is a wonderful vacation home. Penny and Adam have fulfilled all the needs, keep the home in tip top shape and are always available for anything you might need. La Vita Bella is convenient to the ocean, restaurants and shopping. This property has been equipped with everything you will need plus many extras you don't normally find in rentals. The entire property including the enclosed private pool area is very clean and well maintained. If you are looking for the outstanding rental to have a relaxing vacation, this is the house for you. Thank you Penny and Adam for keeping things great for us to enjoy.

La Vita Bella was a wonderful experience for us! We came together with family members from NY with us being from St. Louis. The beach was close, the accommodations top notch, the pool was wonderful, the weather perfect. We are talking about doing it again this year! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!
Owner response:This multi-generational family (Mom & Dad w/ son's family)came in from all over the country - they were a pleasure to work with & we are very pleased they enjoyed their stay. AND indeed they have booked LVB for a second year! "Grazie a voi, i miei migliori auguri" ~Thank you & Kind Wishes

I think we finally found our destination for the yearly family vacation! We had 5 adults and 3 kids. The house was so spacious and with four bathrooms, everyone felt like they had enough space (thus, everyone got along really well throughout the entire week!). The pool was great, and the beach is so close. It was never a big deal to run back to the house to get something. Penny (the owner) organized a service to deliver beach chairs and umbrellas designated for our group, and it was SO convenient! In fact, having the beach chairs waiting for us turned out to be essential. We had enough stuff to drag to the beach for our 1-year-old that bringing beach chairs would have put us over the limit of what we could carry. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and we were so relieved there was a highchair and a play-pen available. We had a slight problem getting our linens when we arrived, but I immediately called Penny, and the problem was solved within ten minutes. We are immediately booking this house again for next year.
Owner response:Awww...your kind words warm my fat little heart! And you folks traveled such a long distance, I am pleased La Vita Bella exceeded your expectations. You were great guests - LVB will be looking forward to seeing you again soon. And thanks again to our 'friends' who help take care of LVB. Kind Regards ~ Penny & Adam

Our family had a wonderful time, plenty of room with all the comforts of home. As they say home away from home. The home was clean, well maintained and equipped with everything you would need. The owners are wonderful and will do anything to make your vacation as great as possible. Our grandchildren when we got home said we want to go back to the pink house. We highly recommend this property to rent. You probably can't find anything better.
Owner response:Thank you! The Pink house wants you to return too -- as your family took great care of her ---- We appreciate your respect for her. La Vita Bella, Baby!

This house was everything that our extended family needed for our stay in South Carolina. Penny and her property management team ensure that your stay will be pleasant one. No disappointments here. House was clean, pool was warm, linens were plentiful, and the home is equipped with all the possible amenities you could need. We will be returning to La Vita Bella if our travels bring us back to Surfside Beach. Great Location, and a great owner that provides above average peace of mind when renting a house. Communication with Penny during this rental experience was fantastic. Rent with confidence!
Owner response:We are so pleased our hard work & dedication to La Vita Bella pays off in so many ways: Happy, Contented Guests. Our family is fortunate to meet such great folks who take good care of LVB while enjoying what she has to offer. Think Warm Beach - Cool House!!

We just got back today and I couldn't wait to write a review. Who needs an ocean front cottage when you are as close as this cottage is to the beach. Upon arrival I knew immediately this cottage has been taken care of and kept very clean. All of the appliances are in great shape and the furniture is in very nice condition. We will definitely rent this cottage the next time we visit Surfside. Thank you Penny.

This house is beautiful and is everything advertised. My husband and I and our family ( 6 adults and 5 grandchildren) loved it and there was plenty of room. The pool is a great asset. This was the first time my grandchildren saw the ocean and we could not get them out of the water. The weather was sunny and warm all week. Nobody wanted to leave the "pink" house. We would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks for making this retirement vacation a great one. Kathy and Paul

I started the process of finding a place in January, 2010. We are former beach owners from Ocean City, Maryland. Our concern was the drive and condition of the rental...boy, we were so surprised to find the drive of 7 hrs, with 6 mos. old baby and 4 yr old dog a pleasant experience,,,really!!!! La Vita Bella (life is beautiful) was a wonderful surprise. This place had everything we needed and more than we expected. The beach was clean and the area is family friendly. The pool, oh, the pool was wonderful..Thank you Penny and Adam for keeping your place in order. Oh, and the love of a pink home....of course a Mary Kay Director's dream!!! Great memories!
Owner response:You folks were rated A++ with us too! You were kind, respectful & took great care of our liitle beach shack. Hope to hear from you again -- Thanks for choosing LVB for your memory maker --

This house is AMAZING! It is very welcoming and decorated beautifully! It is very close to the beach and all the neighbors are very friendly! It is in immaculate condition, as Penny and Adam take great care of it! The pool is one of the best features! I would never stay at a place without our own pool ever again! The house is by far the best location, after driving to Myrtle Beach and going through Garden City Beach, Surfside is definitley the best place to be!! We felt lucky we picked the best location!!! Many THANKS to Penny and Adam for offering their home for a vacation rental, it is truly one of the best I have ever seen!!! And they really make the entire experience so easy!! Thanks again!!!!
Owner response:And you guys ROCK for being Gracious Guests -- You took such Great care of 'Your' Beach house! Hope to hear from you again -- We are pleased to know you enjoyed yourselves & found LVB to be BETTER than expected - Very Clean, Great Location, Well Maintained -- What a Terrific Review! I would also like to Thank my Top-Notch Team - Ken, Glenda & Bobby. :-)

Wow! What a great location--right across the street from a pulic access walkway. ...on the beach in less than a minute. There's never any traffic; Surfside's a quiet place. I hope it stays that way. I plan on returning. La Vita Bella was awesome. The pool was ready when we arrived with strategically place palms for shade. The decks overlooking were very relaxing with rocking chairs. The house was as clean as an Embassy Suites and everyone had their own bathroom. The kitchen layout was very conducive to serving a crowd. The ceramic cooktop made for easy cleaning and the cabinets were well stocked with pots, pans, sheets, etc. Outside the showers at the driveway entrance were convenient for returning from the beach and there was room to put your stuff for the next day. It was clean so you wouldn't track sand into the house. There were even beach toys and chairs left, I suppose, by previous guests who didn't have trunk space for the return trip home. After shopping the outlets, I was thinking I might not get our umbrella back in the car! And, of course, it was only two minutes from a great independently owned restaurant! ...at 20 MPH--that's fast enough at surfside. No eateries serve fried pickles in WV so we get our fix in the Carolinas. For the price, La V-B is a good value for a beach vacation. I hope to return soon.
Owner response:Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! You & Your Family are welcome to return anytime - as y'all were TERRIFIC Guests! And know - We provide the beach & fun gear for our guests to enjoy --
