Island House A : Stylish Updated Townhome - Steps to the Beach w/ Pool!
Message us for information regarding monthly winter rates. Recently updated! Stylish & spacious 2 bedroom raised beach-house just steps from the beach. We also own 2 units next door, you can see that unit at VRBO #1160468 or #2062598. Enjoy the beach life like a local on one of the 2 decks. Sip your morning coffee on the front deck while you watch the sun rise over Surfside beach. In the evening, enjoy a glass of wine while you bbq your favorite road kill on the back deck and watch the sunset. Island House is also just a short (2 block) walk to Surfside Drive where you'll find restaurants, bars, a fishing pier, a scenic park, a dog park, and even a library. We've tried to think of everything you might need -- before you even know you need it, like new Tempur-pedic mattresses, 1500 thread count linens, free super-fast Wifi, & USB charging ports throughout the house When you arrive, you can park right underneath your home-away-from-home. There's space for 2 cars in front and additional parking in back if needed. As you walk into your beach retreat you'll find an updated kitchen with granite counter tops and tile backsplash. It's fully stocked and ready for your stay. Also on the 1st floor there's a comfortable living area, dining area, a half bathroom, and a washer and dryer. The dining area seats 4 around the table plus 3 more seats at the kitchen peninsula. There is also a plush seating area on the front deck which seats 4/5. The living room has plenty of seating as well as streaming TV with hundreds of channels and WiFi. There are two decks for lounging. The front deck is covered and is a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. The back deck is open, overlooks the pool and contains a gas grill for all your bbq needs. Right behind the back deck is a fenced in yard with a pool. The pool is shared by only 4 units of the Island House so you never have to worry about crowds. The two bedrooms are located upstairs, one on either end with a hallway and bathroom in between. Each bedroom contains a queen bed with super comfortable memory foam mattresses, a dresser, & closets. We've also put several USB charging stations throughout the house. It's just a 60 second walk to beautiful Surfside Beach. Check the storage shed in the carport for beach chairs, boogie boards and other beach gear. Want even more of the "local" experience? We have a 4 person electric golf cart available to rent.
Located on Dogwood Dr right off of 3rd Ave North, 1 1/2 blocks from the Beach and 2 1/2 blocks from Surfside Drive (restaurants, bar, & pier).

Enjoyed walking on beach everyday especially at sunrise. Could see ocean from front porch was nice place to have our mesls. Bed very comfortable. Kelly Enjoyed driving golf cart and fishing. Was a little cool for the pool on our visit but would love to on future visit enjoy it. Bob was very helpful and kind. Thank you for helping make my husbands 60th birthday special
We enjoyed our stay! The house was comfortable, the porch was perfect for hanging out and the location was so close to the beach - just a quick walk or golf cart ride to the beach.
Property was just as described. Seconds from beach access, but enjoyed the fact it wasn’t right on the main road. Property had all convenient amenities one could think of during a vacation. Will definitely book again.
The condo was awesome. Amazing location, super clean and comfortable place with all the ameneties. The host were wonderful at communication. Check in and out was easy! Definitely recommend!
The townhome is only two blocks from the beach. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We would rent again. The only issue, and maybe it's because we are not familiar with streaming channels only, was hard told watch some of our favorite things, like the Carolina Panthers.
This property is wonderful! Very close to the beach and wonderfully appointed. Enjoyed coffee on the covered porch, a dip in the pool to cool off after the beach, and a cruise in the golf cart. We love Surfside Beach and this was a perfect place for us to stay. Thank you!!!!
Property was as described, clean and accommodating. Host instructions were clear and reasonable. Access to the beach couldn't be more convenient, and utilizing the golf cart made travel around the area and parking a breeze. We would definitely recommend and stay here again!
The Davis Family
Home was lovely. Owners thought of every possible need. 2 minute walk to the beach. Close to everything. Owner was available and quick to respond to questions. Would 100% recommend!
This is our 2nd time at Island House, we had stayed at unit D, we loved it so much that when we decided to vacation at Surfside Beach again we didn’t look anywhere else. Again we were very happy with the house, very cozy and comfortable. Bob and Melissa thought of everything that we might need. We will come back.
We loved our stay from start to finish! Bob and Melissa have very communication throughout our stay - message a couple days before check-in with instructions, quick response time when we had a question about the TV and informative message prior to check-out. Right when we walked-in we were welcomed to a cool house and everything was very clean. Amenities such as pool toys, lawn games and beach gear made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this home and will definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.
Wow what a great week I had at the Island house. The condo was absolutely spotless and just as described. Bob and Melissa have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are also very easy to get in touch with for any questions you may have. Location to the beach is great and having a golf cart is a big plus. These owners have went above and beyond with providing beach gear, chairs, umbrellas etc. It was also an added bonus being able to bring my fur baby which enjoyed the front deck as much as I did early in the mornings. I will definitely be booking this place again next year. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
We were very happy with our stay at the Island House. The convenience of having somewhere to stay in a quiet residential neighborhood just a block from the beach was wonderful. The condo is extremely clean, nicely decorated, and feels just like home. The added bonus for us was the ability to bring our golden retriever along for the week. We will definitely return!
Hats off to Bob & Melissa for thinking of everything you could possibly need for your stay. All you need is your clothes and food. The home was spotless, comfortable, convenient to everything and only 2 blocks to the beach. The home also has a swimming pool. All beach items were included -chairs, umbrellas, blankets and bicycles which was a bonus. We will definitely be returning!
This was our first time to Surf side, SC and not our last. We drove from NY with our 8 and 10 year old kids and ofcourse our puppy. The property was very comfortable, clean, convenient and felt like home. The owners have thought of everything including beach gear! The property owner got back to us within minutes when we text him with a question about the golf cart. Also, renting the golf cart is a must! It made our vacation even more fun and enjoyable! We will be back.

About the host
Hosted by Bob Thomas
We're Bob and Melissa and we've been married over 25 years. After years of beach vacations, we decided to finally buy a home at the beach and we love it. We bring a combined 50+ years of experience in the hospitality industry. Our goal is to bring the absolute best of what we've learned over the years and make your stay amazing!
Why they chose this property
We love the family atmosphere of Surfside beach! It's a fantastic white sand beach without all the high-rise "condo-tels" (and crowds) of the commercial sections just a few miles north. We purchased Island House because of all the properties we looked at, Island House just had a unique feel and vibe that we didn't find anywhere else in Surfside.
What makes this property unique
Just a 60 second walk to one of the widest sections of beach in the Grand strand. Many of the public access points have restrooms (major bonus), and none of the crowds you have to fight at other beaches!
