Took my teen girls and had the best weekend! Can’t wait to go back !

Unique cottage provides all the necessities for a beach getaway on a budget. Bathroom layout and cleanliness may not be suitable for everyone.

5 minute walk to the beach. Beautiful tree lined street. Loved having the gas stove. Clean. Comfortable beds. The bed in the loft is really not usable in the summer - just doesn’t get cool up there. Cute shared area including shared laundry.

We enjoyed our stay, highly recommended, thanks!

Place was dirty- floors dirty. AC didn’t work upon arrival; Wi-Fi didn’t work. Spent 3 days meeting with maintenance to resolve issues. Also had an extremely large cockroach show up next to the bed. Fridge was crystallized and froze everything and mad soda explode. Overall bad experience. Spent time meeting with maintenance and pest control and never had time to relax.

Great 2 night stay, 5min walk to the beach and 10min to main strip. Had everything we need including AC

Upon arrival to this rental, we were mildly disappointed with the cleanliness of the floors and function of the sliding bathroom door. Sand was on the floor and in the bed, but we let this go due to the nature of this location being a beach rental. On our second morning, we noticed a living cockroach on the floor next to the master bed. We were obviously disgusted and were concerned about insects in our clothes, food, and dog’s belly. We then discovered a dead cockroach under the bed and several in traps under the fridge and around the perimeter of the home. This was not indicated in the listing at the time of reservation. We contacted Vacasa in hopes of a relocation for the remainder of our trip and/or a total refund. We did not receive a return call for 3 hours. Once the SC property manager, Carl, finally contacted us, he gave us a lecture on the nature of “palmetto bugs” and how they are harmless (a quick google search would indicate otherwise) and indigenous to the area. We were told that having cockroaches in our rental and bedroom was normal and we would only be refunded for unstayed nights and not relocated as there was “nowhere to put us”. We explained that we would like a refund for the nights we spent sleeping with roaches potentially in our bed and on our floor, which he did not grant. He was exceptionally rude and rebutted with “they weren’t in your bed” as if he would know. Horrible experience - DO NOT BOOK WITH VACASA- stay at Tides on the beach!

The property makes the most out of every square inch (an extra child will enjoy the on-top bed. It's quiet, away from the main drag but just a short walk to the beach. And a little city area with a small kids park and dog park is just a block away.
