We loved our stay, and hope to rent again! The location is perfect. And the host couldn't be more helpful- everything from quick responses to proactive messages w/ guides to the area and notes about our accommodations. We especially loved that our dog was so warmly welcomed with his own bed! This is a wonderful find!

Great place for a quick trip to the ocean

The property owner has excellent communication from start to finish. They have a clear check-in and check-out process that makes everything seamless. Having the beach wagon and umbrella to use was a huge bonus for us! Also the washer and dryer is a must have for any beach property. The beds were very comfortable and the accommodations were exactly what we needed for our weekend at the beach.

Nice kitchen table and den area large TV and TV in both bedrooms. Nice size backyard with grill and well lighted. Just a short walk across the street to the beautiful beach area. Nice friendly quiet neighborhood that is well lighted for taking your pet for a stroll at anytime. Will definitely be returning!!

Loni’s beach retreat had everything we needed for the perfect get away. The space was clean, comfortable, and in a quiet location. The beach was only a block away. The best part of the stay was that this lower unit allowed large dogs and it was very accommodating for my disabled dog. The communication with Loni was excellent. She was easy to get in touch with and very responsive. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Loni’s retreat.

Fabulous Vacation

My husband and I along with our 2 dogs stayed here at Loni’s Beach Retreat. From start to finish Loni was available by email/text with any questions we had. The cottage was spotless when we arrived. It had plenty of room and had everything we could want. The location is great, just a block over from the beach. We’ve been coming to N. Myrtle for 7 yrs now and this cottage was our favorite! Can’t wait to be back next year!

Satisfied Customer!

Check in was seamless. The space was very comfortable and accommodating. Even for our large pup who is very finicky. He usually does not like soft plushy dog beds but was comfortable with the one provided. Our super host, Loni was so very responsive to our questions about the space and local places to eat. Hope to vacation there again.

Thanksgiving at Myrtle Beach

Great place, immaculate and Loni very efficient and thorough. Only negative was that this unit is downstairs and there's another one overhead. Not well insulated so you hear any walking/ talking from above

Lovely home and close to the beach.

The house was very nice, clean, comfortable and lots of amenities that made our stay pleasant. We gave it an overall 4 star rating only because we were on the first floor and could hear everything going on above us. We had the misfortune of having very noisy people above us. Not the fault of the hosts but it did affect our stay.

Fabulous Retreat

Loni’s Beach retreat is everything we love! It is very clean, bright and inviting! The beds are very comfortable and having a king bed in the master bedroom is awesome! The condo is on the bottom level which is so convenient for our two dogs. The backyard is just right for the dogs to lay in the sun! The location of the condo is a street over from the beach, not to mention restaurants, attractions, groceries, and wonderful Champion Park. Communication with the host, Loni, is always open and available. I highly recommend Loni’s Beach Retreat! This is our 2nd year there and hope to be back!

Relaxing getaway

This was our third time booking with Harris Hideaways! We have stayed in two different units and they never disappoint! This beach retreat is conveniently located in a very quiet neighborhood just a very short walk to the ocean. Our family looks forward to our beach getaways and Harris Hideaways is our go to place to book every time! We are so thankful to be able to take our pup with us as he’s part of our family as well. The owners are great with communicating everything you need to know to help make your stay outstanding! Book with them!! You won’t be disappointed!!
