Toes In The Sand Drink In My Hand
Welcome to Pete's Retreat! A rustic cabin (made of cedar), with a touch of a mid-century modern vibe, that sits among the dunes and offers the best views in Surfside Beach. Inside the house, it feels like you are in a treehouse with the wall of windows that overlooks the dunes and beach. It is truly breathtaking to watch the sunrise over the water in the morning.
The master bedroom features the same gorgeous views as the living room and has one queen bed. The second bedroom is located off the dining room and has two twin beds. The loft area is over the second bedroom and has one Queen bed and two Twin beds. The one bathroom has a standup shower only, no tub.
The living room is where you will want to spend all your time soaking up the views. The dining room is right off the living room and also has a door leading out to the back deck. Just off the dining room is the quant kitchen tucked away in the corner along with the front loading washer and dryer.
When you are ready to hit the beach, just walk downstairs to the access road, and within a short walk, you will have your toes in the sand. You will love the quick and easy beach access you have at Pete's Retreat. Since you are on an access road, it is convenient to drive all your beach toys, fishing gear, coolers, beach chairs, and more, right to the sand. No long hauls on foot required.
Under the house is an outdoor shower and a lockable door to the stairwell. Some water can accumulate on under and around the home after heavy rain.
We now offer optional linen service to fit your needs and budget:
• Bring Your Own Linens (sheets, bath towels, kitchen towels) to save on costs. If you would like to bring your own linens ask us to remove the cost which is included in the cleaning fee.

Meet the Owners of Beach Resort Services – A Family Tradition Since 1992
At Beach Resort Services, we are more than just a vacation rental company—we are a small, family-owned and operated business with deep roots in Surfside Beach. Our story began in 1957, when our parents stopped in Surfside to fish after their honeymoon in Galveston. What started as a weekend getaway soon became a lifelong tradition, leading to summers spent here as a family before finally making Surfside our home in 1976.
In 1992, our mother and founder, Catherine, who had been managing properties with Brannan Realty since 1976, took over as property manager for 13 homeowners in need—and that’s how Beach Resort Services was born. Since then, we have continued to grow, but we have never lost sight of what makes us special—family, tradition, and a passion for helping others create unforgettable beach memories.
Today, Beach Resort Services is run by a dedicated team of three—Denise, Drew, and Hope—who work tirelessly to provide exceptional service, trustworthy management, and a personal touch to every guest and homeowner we serve.
Why Choose Beach Resort Services?
✔ Locally Owned & Operated – We live, work, and play in Surfside Beach, so we know the area inside and out.
✔ Experienced & Trusted – With over 30+ years in business, we’ve built lasting relationships with homeowners and guests.
✔ Committed to Making Memories – We love what we do and are passionate about helping families create their own Surfside traditions.
When you rent with us, you’re not just booking a house—you’re joining a Surfside family that has been making beach memories for generations. We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay as special as Surfside has always been to us!
