About this property

397 Steps To The Beach; Quiet, Private Residential Pet-Friendly Home

The home is located on a sizable wooded lot in a quiet, residential area just a short stroll from the beach. It can comfortably sleep 8-10 people and features 2 BRs with queen beds and walk-in closets that can accommodate a port-a crib or mini-crib (both available for use), and a 3rd BR with a futon bed. The Carolina room off the dining area offers a queen-sized pullout couch. The living room couches are also queen and full-size sleeper sofa beds.
The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. The open floor plan in the dining and living room areas enhance the relaxed, informal atmosphere of the home.
The patio area and gardens outside the house are home to many bird species and other native wildlife. There is a gas grill available for outdoor cooking and a kennel for dogs (prior agreement required).
This is a residential area so the beach around the corner is not crowded. The location provides a great place to relax and enjoy the beach and other amenities around the area, most of which are a short drive from the house.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Family Time During a Heat Wave

We’ve stayed at this house before and love the location. The owner has plenty of housewares, towels and beach items available for use. We love the addition of the foosball table since our last visit.The heat affected the Central Air and at times (not always, typically daytime/high heat index hours), the unit could not work hard enough to cool the house.The front deck is fantastic - needs shade so it can be enjoyed during the day.Otherwise, we would definitely stay here a 3rd time!

Just as advertised, Just what we needed.

Location to the beach was as the name stated . Could not have asked for a better location. Easy walk to beach, even with our 2 furbabies. The house had all the comforts of home and more. The covered parking , fools ball table, and the gardens were delightful. Having the dishwasher, laundty detergent, papertowels was a nice extra.Will diffently rent again.

Excellent Family Home

We loved this home! We had 7 adults and 3 kids under 3 years old and we had a ton of room. This house is great for little kids as we didn't have to do much of any "baby proofing". Furniture and amenities aren't extremely up to date but it felt like home and we weren't afraid to let the kids sit or climb on the furniture. The owners stocked the house so well with things completely unexpected. There was a crib (not a pack n play) and tons of toys and beach toys and chairs to use. The dog kennel inside and large kennel outside was fantastic for our dogs, as well as a large water jug for the dogs that we used! Being a block from the beach was fantastic and the perfect distance for one year olds to be able to walk. The neighbors were very friendly and we had great conversations with them during our stay. We hope to come back to this house next year!

Comfortable Home Away from Home

Stayed at this North Myrtle Beach home from March 11 to 22, 2020 with my husband, son and his wife and three grandkids (7 months, r and 7) and one large dog As noted by other reviewers, this is an older home, and perhaps because of this, we were able to settle in and make this our home away from home quickly. The house was more than spacious for us and, undoubtedly, the best stocked home we have ever stayed in from infant, dog needs and entertainment needs to a very well equipped kitchen. The grandkids loved the woodlands backyard yet they still found plenty of room to kick the soccer ball and play catch. No complaining either about the short walk to the beach and the neighbourhood was very quiet. I had no need to contact the owner for anything urgent but when I did advise of our arrival and departure, the response was immediate. Thank you Samantha. Overall, would I go back. Hell yea!!, (I hope this review gets through this time. Third attempt I have written it as it won’t load).

Nice place, horrible ‘customer service’

Two and a half days into our 5 night 6 day stay, the AC completely stopped working. When I called the provided number, it was the property owner’s daughter. She advised me they discovered an issue with the AC and was ‘hoping it would last through your stay’. When I asked why we weren’t alerted beforehand, she said ‘they didn’t know it would be a problem until it was a problem’. I was then assured the needed part would be in the next day and she and the AC technician would be there starting at 10am. So my family and I head out for the day, only to be called 2 hours later to be told the AC would not be fixed for the duration of our stay. They (daughter) said they would come install window units while my family was gone so we could resume our vacation. We get home at 4pm, as I told the daughter, and no window units. I called her to let her know it is now 88 degrees inside the house, and see where the promised window units are. She then scolded me like a child and told me she was doing her best and it was a hectic day because it was her kid’s last day of school. So she tells me she is pulling up to the property with the window units. Minutes later. She sends her husband to the door to talk to me. He says they want to install the units now and wanted to send us for ice cream. I told him that was supposed to be done hours ago while we were gone, not while my children are showering. She again got nasty with me. No solution. 88 degrees. They fixed it with box fans…

What a fantastic place!

We had a fantastic stay at this Myrtle Beach home! The location was perfect—just a short walk to a quiet, uncrowded beach and close to great restaurants and activities. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, which made it even more relaxing. The house itself was spotless, spacious, and fully stocked—we didn’t need a thing. The mattress was incredibly comfortable (no lumps or bumps—seriously, best sleep ever!). Our dogs loved it too, which made the trip even better. We’ll definitely be back!Jeff and Arnica

Awesome location!

Great quiet neighborhood with a nice short walk to the beach. The area was not overcrowded and the beach was spacious. The home itself fit just what we needed and more. The kitchen was nicely stocked with pots, pans and cooking ware. Towels and linens were provided. The only thing I would have liked better is to have had a covered staircase to the laundry room which was down stairs from the rest of the house. But no problems otherwise. Will book again for next year. Thanks for sharing your home with us for the week!

About the host

Hosted by Bobby Kennedy

Host profile image
We live in New York State with our 2 large dogs and have been working in the healthcare industry for over 30 years. We have always enjoyed taking family vacations near the beach to spend quality time relaxing with friends and family. We welcome you to our home and hope you enjoy the same pleasures we treasure when you decide to book your vacation in our beach home--397 Steps to the Beach.
Relax and enjoy. -- Bob and Nancy

Why they chose this property

When one of our daughters moved into the area, we decided to make this our home away from home too. We are happy to share our home with others and feel it is located in an ideal spot for vacationing and relaxing at the beach.

What makes this property unique

We loved the location immediately when we found this house. North Myrtle Beach holds so many fun things to do, no matter the time of year or weather. Activities of every sort are easily accessible from the property.
We were initially drawn to house because of the landscaping and peaceful sitting area found in the yard. The house also sits on a double lot, unlike the homes surrounding our property, which makes it feel more private and tranquil. To pay homage to the original owner, who was a well-known golf course designer, the house features some of his original touches, such as the golfer plaque hanging on the front porch.
We have made it a priority to make our home feel like YOUR home.
