House of the Rising Sun was the perfect space for our large family! The kitchen was well equipped, and the living space was large enough for us all to gather and enjoy being together. It is also right across from a beach access, which is really convenient. The heated pool was also a plus since we had two little ones with us.

Beautiful Home and Great Location

Sure! Here's a polished version of your review:Perfect location—just a short walk to restaurants, the beach, and local entertainment. Our group of 17, ranging in age from 1 to 80, had plenty of space to gather together or find a quiet spot to relax on our own.

Wonderful place

Location probably couldn’t be better. Easy access to beach, restaurants and shopping. House is huge and well laid out. Elevator is a huge plus because of the many flights of stairs. Kitchen is big and fully stocked with pots etc. View was gorgeous and there’s plenty of space for parking.

Wow! Our family stayed here for a week in July for a family reunion. Many of us commented throughout the week how perfect the home was, from cleanliness to supplies in the home to location, it was enjoyed by all from kids to adults! Sherri was very helpful and responsive and was such a joy to work with and meet in person! We all talked about coming back to Surfside and staying here again!

Beautiful House and Location!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. The house is awesome; plenty of room to relax, play games and enjoy each other's company. The house is very clean. Everyone slept well in each of the 7 bedrooms. There is easy access to the beach only a half block away. Plenty room to park, can easily park 5 cars if needed. Has an elevator which is very useful in bringing luggage and coolers to the upper floors. The communication with the owner was flawless, letting us know in plenty of time the means to gain access to the property and how to operate the elevator. If we ever get a chance to visit the Myrtle Beach area again, this house will be the first place we hope is available for us to rent once more.

Started Great...Went Downhill From There

The house was laid out as described and looked as it did in the pictures and all started well. The first two days we genuinely had a lot of conversations about making this a yearly vacation for our family. I only have 1500 letters so ill be quick. There were 2 nights during our stay we had pest exterminators out during dinner dragging ladders and equipment through the house to deal with bats. We didn't say anything but why were they scheduled for service during our vacation? Then we found 2 small cockroaches in the bedroom and still didn't say anything. We finally reached out to the host when 4 different rooms found large roaches in their bags and we also found one on the kitchen wall. We were told the home had been treated 3 weeks ago but they were surprised that they were being found. The biggest complaint we have was that we were blamed for the whole thing by saying that the cockroaches came in from outside and so we must have left the doors open and it was basically our fault. We always made sure doors were closed and usually locked up. Host did offer to send out an exterminator (yes, that would have made 3 days or half our stay involving pest control). We attempted to reach a resolution prior to writing review but host basically blamed us and said we were over reacting. The sad thing is we just asked for a small discount on the stay (15%) due to the issues and disruptions and were told there was no reason for our request and did not seem interested in a resolution.

We had a wonderful time, the location was perfect, just next to the public beach access, and the owner was super responsive. The pool guys showed up to check the pool, since it had rained, and we mentioned two minor issues, and got a message back from the owner within a couple hours and a visit from a contractor to fix them that afternoon.

This is a fantastic vacation rental in a great location just near the beach. The beach is maybe 1 minute away via a beach access right across from the house. There is plenty of parking under the house, including on the street along the side. FYI we were told to park there, but i got a ticket as i was too close to the stop sign. There is a barely visible yellow line on the road that means no parking. The house has plenty of rooms and beds, a great social space and furnished kitchen. There was even appliances like griddles, blenders, coffee makers, ice machines, etc. Clothes washers and dryers worked well. The salt water pool was very nice as well, alright i think there was some chlorine in it. There was even extra beach toys, cooler, etc for use for people, as well as a nice charcoal grill that worked great.Overall great stay and we're very happy, and would stay again.
