The Happy Heron was perfect for our family gathering, with plenty of space for everyone to relax. It is steps from the beach and a short walk to downtown Surfside with the pier to enjoy and many restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed and the extra fridge was wonderful. The elevator made it so nice to unload our bags and groceries. The only disappointment was the pool which was unable to be heated this time of year apparently and with highs in the 70's, the pool was too cold to enjoy. The owners were great with communication and would definitely recommend staying here.

The house is beautiful, and so well situated. Golf courses were all close by, the beach is steps away, and we walked to really great resturants every night!Kathy and Steve, our hosts, were in communication with us from booking up to the day of our arrival. Very much appreciate that kind of attention when we are trying to arrange a fun get away for our family

About the host

Hosted by Kathy & Steve

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 who love our homes in Surfside Beach SC, “The Family Beach”. Throughout the years we vacationed at many different places along the coast of North and South Carolina. When we stayed at Surfside Beach, we knew this was the place we wanted to purchase a home at. It has so much more to offer than the other coastal areas we visited previously- it is a small family-oriented town only 2 miles long, that is clean, safe, and close to all the activities of the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand, and is golf cart and pedestrian friendly so you can leave the car parked and just enjoy family time.

When we were younger, we stayed at many places, but they always seemed to let us down- issues with cleanliness, location, amenities, etc. We decided if we were ever fortunate enough to own a beach home that we, or people who visited our home, would never experience these issues. We offer everything possible at our homes. We handle all rentals on our own, being most rental companies are concerned with profit above guest satisfaction. We do everything possible to ensure a 5 star stay for our guests who often become friends over the years, and even have a local contact, who is a friend of ours, to help handle any unforeseen issues that one may incur during their stay.

We try to make sure our homes have everything that you would have at your personal home like a well-stocked kitchen and laundry, plus nice amenities while on vacation like private pools, hammocks, linens and house towels, beach toys and chairs, ping pong, and some of the homes also have elevators, and included golf carts. On top of all of that our places are clean, and none of them are very far from the beach, or shopping, restaurants, and attractions.

We look forward to having the opportunity to be your hosts!
