This was by far the best vacation home I've stayed in for years. It was very clean and close to so many restaurants and other shopping needs. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Pool filter lid kept coming off. Granddaughter hurt her foot in it. Cracks around pool and inside tile floors. Dryer had to be ran 3 times on every small load. New bedding is needed. Trash found under bed and nightstands. 1 kitchen towel. Couch needs replaced. Was not worth the money I paid.

The Property had more to offer than was advertised.
There were actually 3 refrigerator. So plenty of space.
To much to mentioned. If you are looking for a large place, close to the beach, The Relaxing Retreat should be on your short list.

Plenty of room! Well stocked kitchen and bedrooms.
Plenty of towels, blankets, pillows etc. Comfy cots too!
Pool is fun and heated feature awesome. Short walk to beach. Overall wonderful experience.
The only negative is proximity of the pool in terms of all the adjacent neighboring pools. We had some annoying, super discourteous neighbors across the way who played annoying music for 12 to 14 hours of the day with absolutely no regard for others. But what can you do? Some people just suck at life.

House was perfect for a group of 8 girls coming to celebrate a soon to be bride. Very spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and kitchen provided almost everything you could need.
Mostly clean with some minor issues.
Texted Allen with some questions and got a quick response and solution.
Couple suggestions would be more toilet paper should be provided if you are having a group of 8+ or should be listed that limited toilet paper is provided.
Comforters and blankets should be washed after EVERY visit (not just the sheets)
A couple of light switches need some attention.
The sliding glass door is tricky to lock.
And lately the wifi instruction listed on the Vrbo check in instructions is not what is posted in the home.
Overall a great and comfortable stay! Will definitely be back :)

The house was nice but had issues. A lot of the bathroom lights didn’t work. Toilets were loose and leaned when using them. Stayed at a lot of rentals and they usually are stocked with minor stuff like toilet paper and paper towels. Nope had to go buy it.There was ants all over kitchen and roachs had to go buy bug spray. Don’t get wrong these are minor cause location was great and house was layed out great. But also one bed had a large lump in middle of bed so you couldn’t sleep on it upstairs. Overall good but definetly needs to clean up and fix some things for guests.

Our family ranges in age from 3 to 62 and we all had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. We made wonderful memories and left part of our hearts back there for sure.
The home is clean, huge and we had lots of space to do inside and outdoor activities. We paid for the heated pool and it was awesome! We would definitely stay here again. The owner is responsive and helpful. We wish we were back there!!

Great area, nice set up. The renters before us left the place dirty and trash everywhere. The cleaning company did a very poor job of cleaning. Toilets dirty, microwave disgusting, sand and crumbs on the floors. Litter around the pool area, grill had trash and remnants of food on it. Emailed the owner, 3 days later he responded. I asked about the heated pool, the owner wanted 300.00 bucks to turn the heater on for 5 days. Wow! The place needs a real good deep cleaning and paint. A/C fingers had so much mold it’s a wonder renters aren’t sick. Two of the beds including the master mattress are god awful. Not sure I’d ever go back to this place but would go back to the area.
10.0 / 10.0
The property was well cared for and met our expectations as described. The location made it easy to go back and forth to the beach and we loved having our own private pool.
10.0 / 10.0
Owner was very quick to respond and took care of anything needed immediately. Had a great time overall. Pool was a great hit for our family. Would be helpful to have recommendations of local restaurants readily available but that’s just a small detail.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was perfect for 7 adults and 6 children! The bathrooms attached to each bedroom made it so easy to have a large number of people getting ready to go out together!
The bathroom off the deck was perfect for use from the pool. So happy that we didnt have to track pool water and sand through the house.
Thank you for the use of the wake boards at the beach. They were a big hit for the 8 and 10 year old grandkids (a few of the adults got some use out of them too!)
The weather was hot and humid, but coming from Ohio where the summer weather is unpredictable, we really enjoyed the pool and the beach.
We will keep this house in our contacts for a possible future vacation! Thank you.

This was our second time staying at this location. Everything was clean and the kids really enjoyed the pool. My only negative comment was that the mattresses were too soft for most of my family. We would definitely book again to stay here.
8.0 / 10.0
House was great. Kitchen had everything we needed and each bedroom had its own bathroom. The one major issue we had was our last night there. We all wanted to get a good night sleep but the neighbors right behind us kept that from happening. They were up well past 2am having a party. They were yelling and screaming making it impossible for anyone to sleep.
10.0 / 10.0
Property and location are terrific. Our family has stayed here before and we enjoy the location and layout. Some of the furniture and mattresses will need to be updated in the next year or two, but these are minor in relationship to our overall vacation experience. Will stay here again if available !!

The property and home was as described in the listing. Excellent distance from the beach.
I did not receive the key code prior to arrival but after calling the owner it was sent a short while after arrival. The key Box was difficult to open by design. There are plenty dishes although I used paper plates to avoid a lot of washing. I am a cooker. No disrespect but only 1 pot was usable to cook in. I made it work. I also purchased a small grill from Walmart for $24 to use. The place was very clean, spotless, clean towels. Bathroom in every bedroom. Lots of space for everyone. Had no complaints. I missed the fact that I had to request heat for the pool during the initial reservation. The backyard was very nice. I would stay again. Oh! Take trash bags with you. One is provided but we needed more.

Great location with everything you could hope for at the property. We had a group of 9 of us stay here and could have had a better experience. The home looks even better than the pictures and is well kept. 1 block from the beach access point. Beach wasn’t too busy so there was room for us to spread out and enjoy the beach. Owners are easily contacted by phone and very understanding and helpful. Would absolutely come back based on this trip.

8 retired Ohio Police Officers and one graphic designer enjoyed our stay. No complaints, Loved the open area so all could enjoy the conversations.. Plenty of dishes, drinking glasses and other kitchen ware. Looking forward to booking again next year with VRBO!

We had a great stay here! House was as described and more! Enjoyed cooking in this kitchen, had a very nice set up
There was a lot of seating for eating family meals together in the large open concept and for playing games in the evening. Really appreciated the extra beverage fridge under the counter! Loved the pool area and seating inside to pool for our older guests to enjoy while the kids splashed around! Will recommend and we hope to stay here again!

Quiet neighborhood, only steps from beach. Property is very easy to find and is close to grocery store & restaurants. Beds are softer than we have at home but very comfortable. Option to heat the pool was great as we had some chilly days during our stay. Issues we experienced were resolved quickly. Would stay here again!

This was our first family trip since Covid. The house was exactly as described. It is spacious, quiet and very close to the beach. We had three generations (ages ranging from 10-71) and everyone would have loved to stay longer. Thank you for sharing the house with us. WE will be back!!

The house is across Ocean Blvd from the beach which was not overly crowded. Having the private pool amd grill were a key to enjoying our stay. Bedrooms were spacious with plenty of bathrooms

Great Family vacation
The house was just perfect for our family- very comfortable and clean. We all had a great time and can’t wait to start planning for next year.

Everything we could have hoped for
We stayed here in early June with a group of 2 families (4 adults, 6 teens aged 13-18). House offered plenty of room and private space. Cleaning was very thorough before our booking. Pool was used every afternoon after mornings at the beach. Couple small issues with leaky dishwasher and outdoor grill which we decided not to use because of the amount of rust, but overall it was a great experience, perfect location near the beach, and a nice home. Would definitely rent here again if visiting Myrtle Beach.

Will Absolutely Return Again!
Great house in a fantastic location! Our family has enjoyed this house 2 separate years now and it has become our favorite. Proximity to the beach with its own pool is perfect for our needs. Comfortably slept all 12 of us! We’ve already booked again for next year :)

Surfside beach
The property was just as pictured. It provided everything needed for a group of retired guys who traveled to see a friend who moved to the area a few years ago, to play some golf, walk the beach and enjoy the sunshine. Thank you for the great accommodations.

Excellent Location
The house is beautiful and so close to the beach you can walk. The pool is very nice and there are several seats outside to sit aroundh the pool. There are a ton of dishes, pots, pans, etc there for you to use but be prepared to wash before using them. We probably would have washed them first anyway but several looked like they hadn’t been washed before being put away. The rooms are big and the beds are comfy. A couple of days before we left we had a roach show up on the ceiling in the living room. We killed it and then later that evening found another one downstairs and one upstairs in a bedroom. I emailed the property owner to make them aware. The next day we found another downstairs. We never received a response from the owner so I didn’t bother letting them know about that one. Overall the house was okay and it’s location is amazing. Very quick walk to the beach!
