About this property

The Ideal Vacation ~ Private POOL, Perfect Location ~ Spacious & Clean

Surfside Beach is wide & clean with plenty of open space. Our property is the 3rd home from the Atlantic and where Ocean Blvd is closest to the waves. The neighborhood is refined with many permanent upscale residences. Our home (yes, home as we bring our family & friends here, too) is an independent house with private pool, grounds & decks. We are the original 'Little Pink House' in Surfside.

We have been with VRBO for 19+ years (when VRBO was truly VRBO) and prefer to deal with guests directly. (We also have a 2BR oceanfront across the street, VRBO #4224270). Crazy changes make it difficult to ensure you are getting a quality vacation home & we are hosting responsible adults - so inquire 1st. Don't let this site pressure you - ask questions.
If you have a request - ask.
If you need less than a week - ask.
Let's return to personal service.

Ooo La La ~~ Bella spiaggia!
Now - a little about our beautiful La Vita Bella that we adore...she is designed for those looking to relax with family. LVB is extremely well maintained, clean (check reviews), spacious & well equipped. Yes, she is a HOME (mom-in-law loves her too).
"Little Pink Houses for you and me!" (who said that?)

~~ La Vita Bella (Life is Beautiful!) is a 2500 SF Luxury Home Professionally Decorated, Landscaped & Maintained.
The Custom in-ground POOL with lounge chairs, grass yard and mature palms that offer a bit of shade in the hot South Carolina afternoons. LVB has 3 porch/balconies: main floor living/dining room (beautifully furnished & impeccably maintained) access overlooking pool yard with Ocean views; Upstairs Master BR balcony presents both Ocean and Fabulous Southern sky views - night & day! Plus a porch facing the lightly trafficked side street. With only about 59 Steps to the Beach - La Vita Bella REALLY IS CLOSER to the ocean than many 2nd row homes in Surfside Beach. This home is in a far less dense location than areas north or south, which means more room on the beach.

Imagine: Returning to La Vita Bella after a day at the wide sand beach to sit on your balcony overlooking the pool - sipping a cool refreshing drink, watching the pelicans dip & swoop over the ocean. Or maybe you awaken in the morning to step outside onto your Master bedroom balcony to see the sunrise colors over the Atlantic . . .

An EASY vacation with so much to offer - La Vita Bella! (Life is Beautiful!):
~ NEW Cambria quartz counters - bellissima!
~ GE PROFILE Kitchen Appliances in 'Slate'
~ NEW carpets throughout home, professionally steam cleaned 2x a year
~ NEW Living Room Furniture
~ Secure Wi-Fi Internet
~ NEW Luxury Serta Perfect Sleeper Beds - Comfy!
~ The ORIGINAL Pink house in Surfside
~ The color is Charisma - yes, that's the color, don't 'ya just love it?
(now there are many copy-cats)
~ Freshly Painted INTERIOR too
~ Each & Every year we update & add fresh details; Smart TV, new dishes, Swing, picnic table, etc.
~ ~ One Small NO-SHED dog under 20 lbs welcomed with written approval & security deposit.
(no other pets - we have allergies)

About the host

Hosted by Penny Rudinger

Host profile image
Our family of 4 invested heart & soul in this endeavor more than 19 years ago. I have such a good time providing great memories for our own family & and our new beach friends - what a hoot to meet folks from around the world who wish to create memories for their families & desire a clean, affordable place to call their own.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location as it is very close to the beach on a quiet, safe street that we felt was ideal for our young family. Our children once loved to ride their bikes in the neighborhood & we felt secure knowing they were safe. The area is far less dense then Myrtle and contains many primary, upscale permanent homes ~ a lovely beach community.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Plus we keep LVB VERY CLEAN - as our many reviews confirm ~ and our AWESOME GUESTS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
I welcome your contact to speak directly ensuring a 'good fit'. You can contact me at Lexington Property Management (my day job), Greenwich NY. 1 2 8 3 4
