Wonderful place to host a family reunion with plenty of rooms for our group. We loved having the large outdoor space and firepit; we were out there every evening! It was also so nice to have kayaks and paddle boards to use at the beach. Fantastic house that we’d love to stay in again!

The property was wonderful! The house was tidy, spacious, and the prefect space for our family reunion. It is close to the beach and easy to access. We missed the swings on the back porch that are in the photos, but this is a spot we would love to go to again.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! We added a staircase from the deck to lower yard (previously only accessible from in the house) and the new deck configuration meant we had to remove the swings. We miss them too!

Great family reunion place!

We absolutely loved our stay at Myrtle's Beach House! Everything we needed was there at our fingertips. We really didn't lack for fun for all ages and the space was perfect for our family of 25 people. It was clean and well outfitted and on a good location.

This home was a great place to hold a fun reunion with all our kids and their families. The guest was very accommodating and extremely nice. It was a great combination that made our vacation a great one.

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It had all you needed in the kitchen for a large family. The extras in the garage were appreciated as the kids use them most every day. The large lawn, the swingset and fire pit all were enjoyable. We had a wonderful time during our stay. Thank you so much.

Fun Family Getaway

We enjoyed gathering our children and grandchildren and having enough space and bedding for all of us to stay at this house. It was clean, comfortable, and close to town and the marina. Our family really enjoyed the fun backyard with all the activities it offered, and the fire pit was enjoyed as well! Great hosts answered all of our questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

BEST large group VRBO in Garden City

This home is the PERFECT location for a large family gathering at Bear Lake. The house was very comfortable and clean and has plenty of room. Plus they have sporting equipment (kayaks, bicycles, badminton court and rackets. We enjoyed the outdoor fire-it for evening relaxing and the kids made s'mores. The owner, Dana, was communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Family Reunion

The property offered a great location, close to beaches and restaurants. Rendezvous Beach was the family favorite just 12 minute drive from the house. Best part was a large deck, patio, and yard that kept the young ones outside and having old fashion fun instead of in the house watching TV and playing video games. Even the parents put their phones down for long periods of time. Great time!

Family Reunion

We stayed here for a family reunion. The house was lovely. The kitchen well stocked, the outside playground, lawn, and fire pit were really nice. We had 31 in our group and it met our needs. One downside, the loft gets hot.

Our family (ages 3 to 84!) had a wonderful stay at Myrtle's Beach House. Finding a home that comfortably accommodates a large group isn't easy, but this one was perfect. Everyone had room to spread out, yet there were great spaces to gather for cards, board games, movies, meals, and conversation.The location was wonderful. Even in a neighborhood, it felt secluded, and the lake views from the deck were beautiful. Morning coffee overlooking the water instantly became a favorite.One standout was the kitchen. Everything was labeled! It may seem like a small detail, but with a large family cooking together, it made meal prep and cleanup nearly effortless. The large kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and pantry space. The double oven was also convenient!The big yard gave the kids room to play while the adults relaxed nearby. We made great use of the hot tub, volleyball net, kayaks, and paddle boards.This home is well designed for large groups. The roomy bedrooms, loft, and multiple family rooms gave everyone a comfortable place to sleep as well as gather. We especially loved the pull-out trundle beds. They gave space for the younger cousins to have their own "sleepovers" while still having beds of their own.Instructions for check-in & out were clear and easy.After renting places for our annual family vacation the last few years, this one is at the top of our list. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home; we would love to stay here again!

Great Family Fun

Our family of children, grandchildren and spouses numbers above 40. Most of us stayed at this house. The family members liked it so much that all but one voted for us to go to this house again for our next family reunion! Volleyball, Bad-mitten, and ping pong and the children's play area were great for everyone!

Great house and location!

The house is the perfect size for our group of 22. The kids enjoyed all the amenities it had to offer and the parents were grateful for that! The bikes and playstation were a hit. The listing says it can fit 39 but in my opinion 20 to 25 people is the perfect amount. The kitchen and counterspace was a bit small for preparing for such a large group but we made it work. The pantry was great for keeping everything off the counter. Great house and great location!
