House was great, the backyard/garden was beautiful. You could hear the waves crashing from the backyard which was lovely. We had an issue with the tub drain on the second day and the hosts were very responsive and had it fixed in no time. We would definitely stay here again.

This house had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. It has all the essentials, and the fact it's pet friendly is a plus. My labradoodle and my three year old loved spending time in the beautiful backyard, and I got to kick back and relax. The house is super close to the beach! We will definitely be staying here again, I highly recommend it.

This is a lovely little bungalow minutes away from a beautiful, uncrowded beach. Check in was easy and we had no problems getting into the house. The backyard was a wonderful place to sit and have morning beverages and it was a perfect space for our little pooch.

Very nice, comfortable, well organized and maintained house, beautiful and spacious fenced backyard, 4 minutes to the Moran Lake ocean beach ( just ignore Google maps recommendations about walking to the beach - it gives you 12 minutes walk through the streets while real route is 4 minutes in the opposite direction through Moran lake trail). Quiet and friendly place.

Elena, Thank you for leaving the house in pristine condition! I also appreciate you mentioning the more accurate, quick walk to the beach. (Vrbo must automate that info and it’s not changeable.)

What a refreshing retreat! We were there for a work trip, but it felt like vacation. As a typical bedding snob, I was thrilled with the selection and quality of the sleeping accommodations. Usually, I regret not bringing my own bedding, but this was on point with down comforters and decent pillows. We loved walking the trail to the beach and were thrilled to see so many monarch butterflies. Amy and Dave were wonderful hosts!

Loved the backyard! The best part of the whole house. We enjoyed spending the evenings out there. Only thing we wish there were some string lights out there, would’ve made it that much better.

Family getaway

My family and I had a wonderful stay and thought the property was beautiful and just what we needed! The bathroom is small and a little tight for our family of 5, but was expected from reading other reviews. Great communication and would love to come stay again.

Sweet cottage

We opted for this sweet cottage because it allowed pups and had minimal stairs - which we needed for my elderly grandfather. It was a cozy place to stay, and the beach nearby was also perfect.

We had a great time, the home is cute, clean and the back yard is really nice. The back fenced yard has grass trees and shade with a nice path to the beach right outside, perfect for our small dog. If you are a beach person this is home is in the best area of SC, we would definitely stay again. Thank you Amy!
