About this property

Cozy, affordable home away from home with a relaxing lake view

We think you’ll love our recently-renovated, cozy beach home just as much as we do!

Located inside of Oceanside Village ( on a quiet lakefront, what you do once you get here is really up to you. If you want a calm, relaxing time to unwind with just a few people, or you rather invite a whole group (up to 8 comfortably) and play games, celebrate, and make lasting memories, this is your spot.

Our home is a clean, comfortable, and fully-furnished. Its beach-themed look and feel permeates every room and immediately gets you in the mood for your home for the next week.

It has three bedrooms, two baths, and sleeps eight comfortably across: two queen beds, one full futon (in the master bedroom), and one full/twin bunkbed. We do not furnish sheets or any type of towels, you need to bring your own.

The screened-in porch is where we spend most of our time, watching the swans, ducks, geese, and turtles swimming around, and if you’re bringing kids, the lake is stocked with fish to catch and release. The porch is all set up for outdoor dining, and a gas grill is also out back for the grillmaster in your party to do their magic.

The private beach is a short walk or drive from the house, and you can also rent golf carts for the week to easily get around. Oceanside Village even has its own restaurant, The Conch Cafe, right on the beach. There are also rest rooms and showers in the private parking lot. When you get back to the house, we also have a hot-water outdoor shower in which you can freshen up.

There are also multiple pools (and water parks for the kids to play in), as well as a heated indoor pool, so you always have options available when you want to get wet.

The village is surrounded by great restaurants and attractions, and is about 10 miles south of downtown Myrtle Beach. But you’re really close to all of the sights the Grand Strand has to offer, like Broadway at the Beach, Murrel’s Inlet, and Restaurant Row.

During the summers, you can go down to the Garden City Pier, walk out to the end as the sunsets, and get drinks at the bar and watch different bands play every night. Another enjoyable time is going to see the amazing sculptures and nature at Brookgreen Gardens, a former slave plantation where you can take boat and 4x4 tours showing you the history and unique elements of the low country. And, for a great day trip, you can head down to Charleston and see even more historic sights, including Fort Sumter.

We've been here with a handful of people, and a houseful, and every time has been a special visit that resulted in great memories at the end. So, I hope you find our home to be everything you’re looking for… it's certainly been just that for us!

This house was amazing. It had all the conveniences we needed and is very well kept. Our children were staying in the same community, so the screened in back porch was a great place to gather when they came over. Our hostess was great especially when we had what might have been a major issue. She took care of the problem right away. The beach was very close, and the pools were nice as well. We had a wonderful vacation and really appreciate all the help our hostess provided. There is even a book with instructions for what you need to do and a list of places and restaurants to try. A great house, a great hostess, and our great family equaled a great time! Can not wait to do it again!

Wonderful little hideaway

This home is just perfect for a family vacation. It sits on a little lake, we fed turtles, and though the property is full of other homes, it was so quiet and serene. The house was very cozy and all stocked up for a perfect vacation!

Nice house with room for a group, about 20-25 minutes away from Broadway at the Beach & Ripken baseball. Nice resort, but security didn’t let the kid ride their electric scooters, even though we also rented a golf cart (which you will need to get to the pool/beach). Nice pools, beach parking was nice to have.

Lovely vacation time in Surfside!

We had a great time in Oceanside Village. I’ve been coming to Oceanside Village for over 30 years. Such a fun relaxing place. The house was great and in a good location. Great communication from the owner as well. A golf cart would be a nice addition, but not a deal breaker. Would stay here again and recommend others to do the same! Thank you!
