I’m so skeptical in booking places; just all the puffing (not lies, but very close to it). Penny’s place was absolutely fantastic and a godsend that it was pet-friendly. I’ve never been in a cleaner rental. The place was immaculate. The pool water was crystal clear and the new grass around the pool deck was pristine. Location was perfect, a quick 3 min walk to the beach. We liked it so much we asked to extend, but unfortunately it was already taken. We will definitely come back and stay.

La Vita Bella was on the top of the list for beach places we've previously stayed in. It had everything we needed and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and spent a lot of time there. The beach was very close by. I think some of the ocean front high-rise condos have farther to walk than we did. Beautiful residential area. Stores very close by. Great communication with owner. A lot more peaceful than other areas of Myrtle Beach. Hope to return in the future!

Our time at La Vita Bella was nothing short of amazing! The location was quiet, yet convenient! With a super short walk to the beach, it was perfect for the adults and the kids. The pool was a great size for our group and everything you needed was there for your use! Penny was super attentive, as the pool light went out and the next day it was fixed and working perfectly! Highly recommend this property!

Great beach home and host

Beautiful beach house located within 60 steps of the beach. House has all of the amenities that you would need, very clean, and well kept. Host was there for anything we needed. Couldn’t have asked for a better beach house or host.

LVB is the best!

Our entirely family stayed in LVB for a week in June and it was the best experience. The house was spacious, well organized, and laid out very efficiently for multiple families. The pool was perfect and the beach was VERY close! It was great to bring the kids back and forth during the day. The area is quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed our time and home to come back one day!

Great Location

We had a wonderful time at La Vita Bella. Clean, spacious, and a 3 minute walk to the beach. We spent equal times at the beach and the pool. Surfside Beach proved to be a nice vacation spot: close to the Grand Strand amenities but preserves a quiet neighborhood setting. We will definitely return.

La Vita Bella

The property was wonderful! It was clean and very well maintained. The owner Penny was very helpful and answered all our questions. The private pool was also very clean and a nice spot to cool off. The house location was the best with only a very short walk to the beach access entry.

Thanksgiving Getaway

Thanksgiving this year was different and since there was not a whole family get together, we decided to take our immediate family to the beach. The owner was a pleasure to work with and made sure our stay was great. The house is exactly as presented. The ocean views from the balconies was a nice treat. We will definitely be back.
