About this property

House and Toes in the SAND. No cars on this beach area! Vacation of a lifetime!

The property has a large kitchen that looks out over the water along with the Dining Room Area and Living Room. Pet Policy: If you love dogs like us, you are more than welcome to bring up to 2.

Fantastic stay. Literally everything was there, like you're just sharing a home. Towels, beach toys, even sunscreen in a pinch. Everything was easy and the agency and owner were responsive.

Great time at Surfside Beach

Beautiful house with all the amenities we needed. We had 4 adults and 3 children under 10. Lots of toys for the beach. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. Close to stores so quick and easy to get groceries. Plenty of space for everyone. Loved that it was right on the beach. We didn't have to cross any roads or cross any dunes.
