This house was clean, in a peaceful neighborhood only 2 blocks from the ocean. Not far from restaurants and shopping. House was fully equipped with everything you’d need. Very happy with our stay.

Only place we stay!
Awesome, cozy house. Perfect for my family, couldn't imagine staying anywhere else!
This was our second stay at the property and it once again lived up to expectations. Plenty of room for two families with children and an ideal location for beach access and entertainment/dining options. The golf cart and beach chairs came in handy during our trip. Highly recommend!
This house is in a great location, close to the beach but also in a quiet neighborhood. The private pool was wonderful and the use of the golf cart made it easy to get to the beach and to the pier. The owners checked in to make sure everything was going well which was nice. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect family vacation spot
The property is clean and spacious. The short walk to the beach is a plus.
Many extras make your stay more enjoyable, including bikes, beach chairs, a golf cart, and a ping pong table! The owner is very responsive and helpful if needs arise. We've stayed here multiple years and plan to return! Thanks for a great vacation!
We found the property to be just like the description! The hosts were so fantastic to work with and promptly answered any questions we had. They were swift in making adjustments as needed. We will stay with them again!

Perfect family vacation
We live By the Pond for so many reasons, but the top 3 are its location, cleanliness, and layout. There is enough room for grandparents and teens to spread out when needed but there are also lots of spaces they can hang out together.

The house was really nice & well organized.
I liked it because it was close to the beach. It was a beautiful experience.
Very nice property - the private pool is really nice to have! And the golf cart was very helpful in getting around to the beach (but it's not that far to walk). Clean, comfortable, nice neighborhood. Would definitely return to this location.
By the Pond was a great house to stay in for vacation!
House was awesome! Very clean! Tons of things supplied! We would definitely book again! We loved it!

Perfect house at Surfside
This was our third time staying at this house. The house is spacious inside and out. Love the outdoor furniture and pool. The kids always love seeing the turtles. Short walk to the beach and golf cart provided in price. Owners are very nice and always prompt to answer. Hope to visit again in the future. Highly recommend.
This is a great property close to the beach. We really liked the pool and the golf cart was very convenient. The property owners were responsive with any questions we had. Will likely stay with them again!

Everything was perfect!
By The Pond had everything we needed for the most amazing vacation. The pool was so relaxing. The golf cart and beach chairs made going to the beach a breeze and so many toys for the kids! Sitting by the pond with coffee was the best way to wake up every day. No need to go anywhere as this place was perfect for cooking all our meals and had so much to keep everyone entertained the entire week!

The perfect house for our family!
Staying at "By the Pond" has become my family's summer tradition over the last six years. We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. This house checks all of the boxes! We look forward to continuing to stay at "By the Pond" for many years to come.
This stay was 5 ⭐️ for us! Kathy and Steve are very welcoming and amazing hosts! The location is perfect and I loved feeding the turtles and ducks on the pond! I cannot wait to stay here again. Thank you both for opening up your home and sharing your little slice of heaven with us!
Charming ground floor cottage in great location. The included linens and golf cart were wonderful bonus. The pond with turtles was big hit with kids as well as playground in sight of house and pool. Lots of chairs and places to sit and relax. We had great trip.

Great vacation rental
We thoroughly enjoyed this deceptively large beach house. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the home and the layout. We enjoyed the beach and the pool and it was nice to have the outdoor showers to wash the sand away. We really liked the golf cart very handy to take o the beach. We were quite pleased with this home and would rent it again.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy & Steve
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!

Why they chose this property
Best location in Myrtle Beach area. Family friendly with little noise and traffic, but convenient to everything. Our home is on one of the nicest lots in Surfside Beach near the ocean. We also have a golf cart available for our guests along with our nice private swimming pool.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful setting with water view of pond and close to the ocean. Enjoy watching wildlife and turtles in the pond. Park located across the water from the home offering slides, children play items, park benches,horseshoes, and boccie ball. Home also has numerous decks to sit on and relax. Interior of home is all one level with a calming, nicely decorated atmosphere. Built as a home for us to enjoy, not for being a rental property.
