Very clean with a great location. Close to beach, pools, and playground. Lots of beach toys for the kids and beach chairs for the adults. A great place to stay.
Property is the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in at Myrtle Beach. The most well equipped kitchen as well. The owners are very friendly and super responsive.A+
This rental was perfect for my family and granddoggy. I messaged owner to just advise something we noticed that was not working and she had her husband come same day to
do repairs. Highly recommend!!!!
This is the fourth property we’ve rented in Surfside over the past 8 years, and it is hands-down the best experience we’ve had: from gathering info on the property when we were down last year, to the incredible cleanliness when we arrived, to the fabulous communication with the owner throughout our stay, I cannot overstate how -leased we are. The location of this property cannot be beat, both in relation to the beach as well as the lovely community in which it’s located. Everything is very family (and pet!) friendly, and the inclusion of the golf cart in the rental is ideal. We are already working on reserving our dates for next year, and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fantastic beach getaway!
My Wife and Son and myself stayed at house from Aug.25 until Aug.31st this year and let me tell you it was the cleanest house we have ever stayed in at OSV! The beds are super comfortable, house is well furnished with all the comforts of home. The owner Jennifer was awesome to work with she even left the door open for us after she inspected house so we didn't have to miss with the lock box. We travel with our two tiny pups so we have to always get a home that allows pets, now my wife is a clean freak and the first thing she always does is clean a place as soon as we arrive, well let me tell you she could not find any thing to clean in house cause it was spotless. I highly recommend this house to anyone traveling with pets You won't be sorry, golf cart was great and comes with the house at no extra charge also which today is a big deal.

Rental nightmare
The house was not entirely clean . Outdoor shower and garage had spiders . Floors were sandy and dirty . The furniture in the living room was wore out and had sand fleas. My grandson crawled across the floor and his legs were nasty . If you’re going to list something high end you need to update it . It needs a complete overhaul and an exterminator . She had grass took up during our stay which made another mess. I Should have know since reviews were dated back to 2023 very disappointed in house . The listing of the house is not what it says I hope future families can read this and go elsewhere. Plus the playground grass hasn’t been mowed in weeks ..

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept, 2024
I almost never respond to reviews, but feel I must on this, as the owner. I am sorry this guest was unhappy with their stay. We've been in business for 15 years. We own four rental properties in this same community, and have an 80% repeat/regular clientele. We are hands on owners/managers with consistent five star property ratings - and please don't take my word for it, please read for yourself (over 250 collective 5 star reviews across those 4 properties). This home has an "Exceptional" rating of 9.8, with 69 reviews, and this is highly unfortunate and an inaccurate description of our property. It is also unfortunate that people can say whatever they want without proof sources.
I am very sorry there was a spider in the garage area (which was just completely redone - freshly painted walls & ceiling AND garage floor redone) ..... in a garage of all places!
All our houses are treated quarterly for pest control, inside and out.
We have our own cleaning staff, and we are at our properties every check-in day. This house was very clean, like it is every week.
The lawn was being replaced and may have been a bit of an eye sore for that week, but there are ample places to walk dogs, kid's play areas, etc., throughout this gated community, and we have a concrete walkway to and from the front entrance so it wasn't hindering use of the property. Unfortunately, due to such high amounts of rain, the installer was unable to finish it that week, because sod was too wet to cut.
Whatever the reason, I am unclear as to why someone would slander and list this as a 'Rental Nightmare.' I was in contact with this guest from beginning to end, and not once was anything mentioned did as not being as it should be to me. The property was left in poor condition, but we cleaned it up and moved on.
I am happy to provide ample current references from recent stays from our regular, repeat clientele and new clients to those considering renting, including one family that just sent me the sweetest card just 2 weeks ago showing their grand daughter grow up during the last five years (2020 through 2024) during their many vacations spent in this home......Here is what she said: "We have loved 'our' beach house for the last five years...Thank you for five years of perfection!"
Jennifer O'Neill, Owner and Property Manager
It was nice being so close to beach and the community pools were great (I liked it that they were nice and warm). The golf cart was great to have and the grand daughters wanted to ride in it every chance they got. The house was all one level which was great not only for this senior citizens but for hauling in luggage, groceries, etc. It was nice to have plenty of room for everyone including two small dogs that had a little potty yard out back of house. The location was great to get to and from any other places of interest.
Our stay was great. The house was very nice and comfortable. Best room, Master Bedroom. And the king mattress was awesome. Contacted owner to find out where we could purchase one. Only downside, the owner couldn’t help me with the retailer/manufacturer.
Very good location. The house is as nice or better than the listing. Owners were great to work with. Golf cart is a plus, makes it easy to go to beach. I would stay here again.
We had a great week here with our two dogs. The house was really spacious, very clean, and well appointed. The included golf cart made getting to the beach a breeze. Jennifer, the owner, was very responsive and helpful.
This property is perfect. Clean, perfectly located, comes with everything you could possibly need. Jennifer was great to work with - the whole process from booking to check in to check out was easy and very well organized. We will absolutely be back!
From the beginning of this process with VRBO and Jennifer, owner, everything exceeded my expectations. The ease of booking, the quick turn around of communication, the cleanliness of the house and the abundance of amenities this property and owner provided. It was a GREAT experience. The house was SO clean and fresh when we walked in and we felt at home right away. Everything that was promised was delivered and we’re very happy we chose Sandy Paws Retreat and Jennifer O’Neil to assist with our awesome vacation. Thank you!
The house and golf cart were nice and what we expected. Jennifer, the owner was very kind and helpful. We had a little trouble with gate pass card our first few days. We probably will not go to beach on a holiday week again..LOL. I guess the only thing we could really be unhappy about was the Oceanside Village beach restrictions. No canopies allowed not even the baby/kid tents. We watched them make 2 families take theirs down. We brought a canopy and were told we could not use on the 1st day, so we went and purchased an umbrella. Then we were told we could only put ours in line with the blue umbrellas or behind them, even though we witnessed umbrellas every where the day before. So just beware of that if that is important to your family.

This is a wonderful house to stay in if you are in Surfside Beach, SC! The house is beautifully decorated- has everything you could possibly need! And the best part is that it is pet-friendly!! A hard thing to find in the Myrtle Beach area! The O’neill’s were very easy to work with -attentive to the property as well as giving information regarding the whole rental process! I would highly recommend this rental property and hope that We can return there ourselves next year!!

Christmas at Surfside
This was myself and family's first time of having Christmas in somewhat more of a pleasant climate. Needless to say great time while staying there. The home we stayed at was represented very well as we had read prior to arriving. No problems during our 7 day stay with anything in the home. It was clean, very roomy and very easy to get to while still being in a gated community. This was our first stay in Surfside Beach and found it to be very relaxing and all the local business owners are quite accommodating as well. Access to beach was just a short distance away and the golf cart that was provided as part of the package makes it that much more easier. Great Christmas there with no complaints !

Not happy with the owners treatment
We arrived on Saturday 9/8/2018 just in time for the hurricane warnings. On Monday 9/10 the state of SC declared mandatory evacuation beginning Tuesday 9/11. We complied with the state mandate and left on Tuesday about 10:00 am, and returned to our home in Florida, arriving the next day 9/12. We listened and watched the weather reports, flooding reports, and the traffic reports and determined that it would be almost impossible to return.
Based on the language in the rental contract, we expected a full refund, less the pet fee, VRBO service fee, and the 3 nights we stayed at the house. The owner decided not to comply with the refund language in the contract, but decided to refund us only for the 5 days that were the mandatory evacuation days. Therefore, our 3 day beach vacation cost us a bundle.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Aug, 2023
Adam and I have been in business over 12 years, and have been renting our 4 homes on HomeAway/VRBO from the onset. We are "Premier Partners" based on our service level: collectively, we have over 238 Five Star (exceptional) reviews. In 12 years we have never had a bad review on or off this site. Our many repeat clients (over 800 and growing) speaks to our reputation and the service we offer our guests.
The guest was absolutely clear on the refund. It's on our Agreement, and I sent an email Sept. 16th (day the Mandatory Evacuation was lifted) outlining that if he had not purchased travel insurance, he would at least be refunded the 5 days for the Mandatory Evacuation by us. There were 2 full weeks left in their scheduled 3 week trip - they could either return and enjoy them, and we also offered to reschedule the entire trip for them, even though everything was perfectly fine at the property and surrounding areas. The guest declined to do either.
We are not an insurance agency. Most/all other rental agencies (much larger) do not offer anything. The guest is required to purchase travel insurance. We clearly state this in our Rental Agreement. Refunding the Evacuation Days is something we've chosen to do.
We had 2 other families check into our other rentals right after the Evacuation was lifted with no issues. The guest never contacted us to ask about road or travel conditions.
The guest didn't notify us until Oct. 11th that he had an issue. It was a complete surprise to learn he was unhappy with the refund and now challenging the language in our Agreement. He was amenable in all communication, and gave no indication in his exchanges with me that he disagreed in any way, was unclear in what we offered, or dissatisfied. The change obviously occurred once the guest learned there would not be a refund (in addition to ours) from the actual insurance company he purchased a policy from. He informed me on Oct. 11th he had bought insurance, stating the policy he purchased was useless.
While we empathize with the guest and understand his frustration, there are no winners here. We refunded the Evacuation days to 4 other families (a large revenue loss to us); all were grateful. We can't absorb a 3 week rental loss due to a 5 day evacuation. If the guest wanted that level of protection/guarantee of coverage and the flexibility to decide not to return to enjoy the remaining 2 weeks of the trip, it is his responsibility to buy an appropriate insurance policy to cover this.
About the host
Hosted by Jennifer O'Neill
Adam and I have really enjoyed renting our two additional homes in Oceanside Village for the past several years, and decided it was time to provide another high end 'pet friendly' home in this great community. Oceanside Village has so much to offer, and it the perfect family vacation spot in the heart of Surfside Beach!
Our new property has been completely remodelled over the past several months, and is basically a new home. We have tried to make it extremely comfortable, with lots of the little 'Extras' to make it feel like home. We hope you and your family will come and enjoy, and become one of our many returning visitors to Surfside!!
We pride ourselves on giving exceptional service to our guests, and making your rental experience as enjoyable as possible. I am always available before/during your stay if you need any assistance. I encourage new potential guests to read the many wonderful reviews on our other properties to get an idea of what your rental experience will be with us. Those VRBO property listings are #87640 and #308256 respectively.
Thanks for looking!!
Sincerely,
Jennifer and Adam
