This place is Really Nice!! Give it a try.

This place is really nice! The oceanfront view is awesome. Just a few steps to the beach and a short walk to the pier, really, we could not ask for a perfect place. The inside is as advertised. The place is really nice! Would not mind owning this property myself. If you are planning a trip here, I would strongly recommend. Why the 4 stars instead of 5 you ask? This place is pet friendly, however Surfside beach is not. There really is not anyplace you can take your pet to the bathroom unless you just don't respect other people's property. We do. You have to drive about 2 miles to Garden City to take your pet on the beach and really to find a place that we could let our pet use the bathroom. This is not a knock on Almost Heaven. This place is just that, Almost Heaven. If you want a clean place on the Beach, this place is for you. The prices are extremely competitive and you will relax. Elise is very friendly and we found checking in and out to be a breeze. Don't hesitate, give this place a try. Just leave the pet at home:(

Unfortunately we do not make the rules and ordinances for the city of Surfside Beach. It is important to note that pets are allowed on the beach in the mornings and evenings in Surfside Beach from September 16 through May 15, but not in between.

Almost Heaven

Was very nice and clean for the age of building. Not a lot of privacy from other units while outside. Lots of noise from next door unit. Washer and dryer not in unit but down stairs. Not very convenient.

Highly recommend!

I spent a week in Unit C and had a great time. The location was amazing and the unit was exactly as described. And I loved that I could bring my dog! Unfortunately, Hurricane Isaias decided to visit and the owner relocated me to a hotel for one night. Although not ideal, I appreciated that the owner prioritized my safety. There were a couple restaurants within walking distance and even more just a short drive away. However, if you’re looking for a social distanced vacation (like I was), the property was ideal - I easily avoided close contact with the neighbors and the kitchen was sufficient enough to cook all my meals.

Perfect Family Beach Location

We had a WONDERFUL stay! The condo was neat and clean. Right on the beach, location was PERFECT for July 4th fireworks! Nice, family friendly beach. Elise was great. It was a bummer our dog was not allowed on the beach between May and September, but the dog park was less than a mile away, so we had nice early morning and late evening walks to and from the park. We do plan on staying at Almost Heaven again.

Perfect beachfront location with easy access, beautiful view and beach

Nice property. Somewhat strange layout of rooms and not the most updated, but great for a short beach stay. Price seems a bit high to have to provide your own linens. Excellent location and great beach. Seemed like plenty of beach items available, chairs, toys, etc. but was a little difficult to tell, because storage was all open downstairs so it was hard to tell what was available and what was in use by the family renting downstairs. Overall, we had a wonderful time at this property!

Right on the beach!!!

We were in Unit "A" and as it says, you are right on the beach!! Nice porch with chairs overlooking the ocean, could use some attending to. We only used the one room with king bed, perhaps the mattress could be replaced, right side significantly lower than left side, but still slept fine. Bathroom ~~ well, it has a stand up shower (like in an interior room on cruise ship) my husband is 6'4" and was difficult to move around. Toilet right next to it, not much room..Second bedroom, I guess fine, we did not use. Kitchen is fine, no ice maker, but ice trays!! A little bummed on that. Living area fine, with flat screen TV and nice assortment of channels. Living area could be hot during afternoon and thermostat would not go lower than 72, must be locked,but certainly needed it on those hot sunny days. Even with blinds down, still hot....In summary, older type cottage, small kitchen with apt size stove, fine for no more than 2 people to me. You are right on the beach and pier right to your left. Quaint area to stay in Surfside Beach. Best thing our dog could be with us!!!!

We've never been SO CLOSE to the beach!!!

Wonderful little unit right on the beach. We completely enjoyed our trip - and were so comfortable. There were ample rocking chairs on both the front and back porches, the kitchen was wonderfully equipped - and you can't get any closer to the water or great places to have breakfast and lunch!!! The owners were so easy to work with, and so accommodating. We will definitely be back.... and next time for a full week!!!

Wonderful stay!

This was our first time vacationing here but not our last. Our children, parents and even dog had an amazing trip. This was definitely one of my families favorite vacations! The house was simply perfect for all of our needs on this trip. Not only was the house clean and well maintained, the location could not have been any better! The house is quiet, right on the beach and a short walk away from restaurants. Being only feet from the ocean made traveling with two small children a breeze. The property was had any beach equipment you could possibly need for a day at the beach. Elise was so easy going and great to do business with! We all can't wait to return soon!!

Great Find Great Location!

This was our first trip to the Myrtle Beach area and our first vacation with our 2 dogs. I was very hesitant about renting a vacation home from the Internet, but Elise made the booking process easy. This is a gem on the beach! Clean, great location and dog friendly. We also met so many wonderful people while staying there. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutly Beautiful

Elise, You have a Wonderful place here on the ocean. Margaret and I Thank you so much for the Hospitality and the Friendliest landlord I have ever had. You Mom and Dad was a pleasure meeting also. My friend and I along with 2 dogs, stayed here and it was more than a dream come true. You see places on the internet and you know they really don't look like the picture. This was Better than the picture. When a family member who lives down there check it out, said how in heck did you find this Gem online. It was a gem for sure and we made our stay for two weeks and extended for another week. We still didn't want to go home but we had appointments that following week. I would definitely refer and have suggested to many friends to call if they intended to be in the are for a vacation. Just Wonderful.. Thanks again Debbie Ryan

First Class all the way around! *****

I recently stayed at the property and it was first class! I was very nervous to rent a place on the internet without visiting especially coming down with myself with the kids... Elsie was the most nicest and caring person that you can meet. She went beyond and above to be sure everything was perfect for us. The house was very big.. We stayed in Unit B. It was absolutely beautiful! The location is around all the shopping centers you need and no worries about where to buy food! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone and definitely visiting again in the summer!

First Trip To Beach In 7 Years and the name Almost Heaven fits like a glove...

From the time my family got there till that dreaded trip home we had the time we expected. Saturday the check - in day we opened the door to the coolest ( air condition ) house we have ever stayed at while at the beach. It was super clean all the way through. Beautiful view through the spacious windows and deck. We only cooked one time but everything was clean and ready along with a nice cold fridge and freezer. Beds was very nice and comfy. Bathroom was super clean and ready. Everything was a 10 and I would recommend a stay for anyone. Even our ( 2 ) 4 legged friends loved it. If you get a chance and love a country setting give Almost heaven and Elise a try. ( you will love it ).

Almost Heaven is a great place!

The title really reflects the fantastic experience you will have here. The comfortable, 'just like home' feeling you get when you stay here makes you not want to ever leave. The sights and sounds of the beach can be enjoyed equally as well from the living area or the great ocean side deck area. We stayed in the South end second floor unit, and highly recommend it. A selection of boogie boards, games, and beach chairs are available for use so you don't have to buy and transport all of those items there if you do not want to. This unit is located just South of the fishing pier, with several good restaurants, small gift and surf shops and small bars within a one to two block area. The pier has a great little locally owned ice cream store and gift shop there. It felt just like a quaint little beach town with the bustling city of Myrtle Beach and all it's huge attractions only a short drive away. Grocery stores and more gift shops and restaurants are less than a mile or two away. Elise, the owner, was very nice and made it a very easy task to plan a great vacation right on the beach!
