Amazing Stay

This was one of our favorite VRBO stays. The house was updated and clean. We spent a ton of time on the back deck. It had an amazing view right on the ocean. The owners were great communicators and very responsive. We ate dinner at home and had everything we needed.

Amazing Family Vacation Spot

Our family of 11 had an amazing beach vacation. It was the first time we’ve rented beach front and it was well worth it! The house was very well stocked especially in the kitchen with plenty of room for all of us to eat at the kitchen table and hang out at night in the living room and outdoor porch. The owners were extremely responsive (within minutes) and the check-in/check-out process was seamless. Our only negative was no Shibumi’s are allowed on this part of the beach and we had to purchase several umbrellas when we got there. We will definitely keep this house in mind when planning our future family trips.

From the minute, we booked the reservation, the hosts were super attentive. Harry and Heather are absolutely amazing! We had a very small issue with the air conditioning on our third night. And within two hours on the next day, they had somebody over there to fix it.I messaged the host during day three or four times for random questions, and I got a response within minutes each and every time. The property is amazing! The views and the beach are equally as amazing. The property is located centrally between just about anything you’d want.We are already talking about returning to that same property next year for another week or maybe two this time. The price was absolutely affordable and the stay was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better property, hosts, location, or experience. The house itself is amazing, it’s Current, tech savvy, and super user-friendly! If they have any other properties around the globe, we would absolutely choose them first.

Great house for a family vacation.

The property has been remodeled top to bottom, and the bathrooms, kitchen, beds, TVs were all brand new. Property is on the sand and my family had an amazing time. We even left a few things and the owners were kind enough to mail them back to us.

Beachside dream

It was so nice to stay steps away from the beach and a short walk to the pier. The pier had karaoke and live bands every night. That is a must if you stay here! The kids enjoyed the 2 arcades in the area too. The house was immaculate inside! Had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!

Family Beach time

We had an awesome time staying at Memories in the Sand! The location was amazing, the house updated, and being only steps away from the ocean was great! We could step out onto our own spot of beach and it wasn't crowded. The pier was only a short walk away. The views from the outdoor living space was great and comfortable seating! Check in and check out was a smooth process! The host was very easy to contact and communicate with. We would stay again and this home.

Perfect vacation

The home was beautiful and the location was perfect! We had one little incident (that was probably our fault) and the owner responded immediately to correct it. We sat on the deck every morning and evening enjoying the ocean view and played in the sand all day. We had 11 people in a group and there was more than enough room. We will go back.

Beyond perfect.

There are tons of properties for rent in the Myrtle Beach area. However, if you are looking for a home away from home, this is the perfect place for you. Not only is the home in a wonderful location right on the beach and within walking distance of shops, restaurants and entertainment, it is beautifully decorated with all the items you need for a comfortable stay. The home owners are also extremely responsive and top-notch folks. You will not find a better rental property, more beautiful location or better people to rent from in the Myrtle Beach area.
