Making Memories is a newer 5 bedroom 3 bathroom beachfront house that was remodeled in 2020. The house is located right on the beach with a large deck and a private walk over directly off the deck just steps away from the water in Surfside Beach. The stress melts away as you climb the stairs or ramp and hear the sound of the waves! The private beach walkover directly from the front porch we had built, keeps you out of the dunes where rattle snakes have been known to inhabit. It is in the private Velasco Shores Subdivision that is right next to Stahlman. This is a little gem on the island since it’s the only private HOA neighborhood with mostly full time neighbors.
