Property is very clean and well maintained. This was the first time to Surfside Beach. We could not have ask for a better place to stay. The home had everything we needed. The pool is nice and clean. The balconies are so relaxing to sit and take in the breeze while enjoying the ocean views. Steps away we were on the beach. I highly recommend this property. It was a pleasure staying there and Penny is a wonderful host. We will definitely be back.

The house was perfect for our group!! Lots of room for our grown kids and their friends. The beach was only a few steps away!! The kitchen was well-stocked. The pool was nice and offered a great place to hang out after dinner!! Penny was informative and easily accessible!! Will definitely be back next time we head to the beach!

This was our first trip to Surfside Beach and we greatly enjoyed our stay. The house was a great location, clean and plenty of room for our family. Beach access is easy & very close. Penny is great to work with and attentive to any questions we had! We look forward to returning!

This home is beautiful and exactly as pictured! The host is super sweet and great to work with. My adult daughter and I both work remote so we planned this fun - half work / half vacay - week! The beach is beautiful and the little downtown in Surfside is great. Also found a great ice cream place named Painters, not to far from the house. We can’t wait to go back to the La Vita Bella!

Everyone really enjoyed their stay in Surfside Beach.

La Vita Bella was clean, convenient, comfortable and everything you could want to cook with was in the kitchen. We loved the pool and balconies. Every bedroom has easy access to a bathroom, with 3 being en suite. Penny could not have been better with communication. We had a small problem with the AC that was fixed almost within an hour of reporting it!The only drawback for us was that with houses being close together, we had neighbors who were very noisy on 2 sides.

Beautiful home as advertised. Great location and services.

Perfect house near the beach for a large family get together. The property was neat and clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a great week.

The house convenience to everything was awsome. The issue was the beach rules for tents. Was not posted anywhere. Got scolded by beach patrol.

This was one of the most enjoyable vacations to date. The home is beautifully maintained and the amenities are wonderful. Penny is a very welcoming host and very responsive. We will 100% be booking with her again!

We had a wonderful time! The property and area was perfect!

Property was very clean and spacious. Good Location, just a very short walk to the beach. Pool was very nice, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience there.

Very clean, attentive and responsive owner, well-equipped kitchen. Walk to beach is easy, tidal pools are great for small kids and toddlers. Excellent beach for families.

We absolutely loved staying at LVB! The house is in the perfect location! Close to the beach and stores.

The house was super clean and we all loved the house. It is so big and spacious and very close to the beach. The pool was refreshing. The house has everything you need and the owner is great! We rented a golf cart for the week and had so much fun driving it to restaurants! We would definitely rent this house again without hesitation..

House was in a great location, steps from the beach. We all loved the porches overlooking the awesome pool. We had shade all day and a good view of the ocean. Kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed to prepare meals. we would definitely stay again.

La Vita Bella was a great choice for our first trip to Surfside Beach. House is well appointed with a full kitchen and plenty of room for our crew of 10. Beach access is right across the street and the neighborhood is very bike/walk friendly (try the farmer's market on Tuesdays). Pool is the perfect option for cooling down any time of day. Penny is an excellent communicator and is super responsive to any questions before, during or after your stay. She is a professional and cares about your experience at her property. Two thumbs up!

We loved our stay at this beautiful pink house. It was so close to the beach! We loved the pool and easy contact with the owner. Hoping to stay again next year!

Clean and comfortable house. Perfect location. Will definitely come back next year for our annual family reunion.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Vita Bella! The home was clean, prepared for us and a lovely environment. It had everything we needed and more. We were a large family and were all happy with our bedrooms. The pool was delightful and the owner was very conscientious. Thanks so much!

A GREAT property with perfect beach access right across the street! Very well equipped! Penny, the owner/manager always right on top of any questions. We stayed here in “off-season” and loved it! Hope to return sometime soon for all of the “in season” fun too!

Thanksgiving this year was different and since there was not a whole family get together, we decided to take our immediate family to the beach. The owner was a pleasure to work with and made sure our stay was great. The house is exactly as presented. The ocean views from the balconies was a nice treat. We will definitely be back.

The pink house was beautiful-just like in the photos. Quite spacious and very clean. Very welcoming!Penny is extremely responsive-very easy to contact.

The location of the property is perfect. Being able to see the ocean from the decks was amazing. Having the pool to ourselves was a great ending to the days on the beach. Had a great time. Would definitely stay here again. The property owner was very accomodating and responsive.

Outdoor items were dirty upon arrival, Penny said it had been rainy. Not much of a supply of TP or paper towels, luckily we had brought some with us. 2 tv's upstairs not working, checked plug in, there were linens behind the MBR dresser. Remotes missing / not working, but needed batteries. Some beds had blankets, some didn't, Penny told us to look in the closets, able to find more. Could not connect to wifi, password had been changed from what was published. Sunday nite pool person (Lori/Alicia??) came in (unannounced) to "see if there was sand in the pool". As we were upstairs, we don't know what she did, but it seemed they were cleaning it. The next day, the pool pump/heater was blinking, showing "low water flow" and the water was not circulating; water was chilly, (cool outdoor temps), (indoor water pressure also low). When we contacted Penny, she contacted pool personnel. Steve came by, looked at something, left to return about 45 minutes later. After the outdoor temp warmed up, so did the pool (and maintenance had been by to make adjustments). On Friday night as we were cleaning up to leave, about 10 pm, water pressure in the house was very low (same as Monday), checked the pool, it was overflowing! Called Penny, she called us right back and told us how to turn the pool pump off, was very apologetic and thankful we had contacted her. She has also offered to refund half the pool heating fee. All in all, we feel Penny was responsive to our needs.

This vacation was much needed and this property was above and beyond the description. We will be staying with Penny next year.Thank you so much for everything from the linens to the comfortable homey feeling. Joe & Stephanie

Very convenient to beach and roomy clean house and pool. Owner was very kind and available for any questions we had.

LVB was such a great house for my family and friends to stay. We had plenty of room in the house. The house was well maintained and we couldn’t get the kids o of the pool! Best part of the trip was the location. The distance to the beach and having Beach chairs and umbrellas set up for you on the beach!! Thank you for a memorable vacation!

I think we finally found our destination for the yearly family vacation! We had 5 adults and 3 kids. The house was so spacious and with four bathrooms, everyone felt like they had enough space (thus, everyone got along really well throughout the entire week!). The pool was great, and the beach is so close. It was never a big deal to run back to the house to get something. Penny (the owner) organized a service to deliver beach chairs and umbrellas designated for our group, and it was SO convenient! In fact, having the beach chairs waiting for us turned out to be essential. We had enough stuff to drag to the beach for our 1-year-old that bringing beach chairs would have put us over the limit of what we could carry. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and we were so relieved there was a highchair and a play-pen available. We had a slight problem getting our linens when we arrived, but I immediately called Penny, and the problem was solved within ten minutes. We are immediately booking this house again for next year.

Our family had a wonderful time, plenty of room with all the comforts of home. As they say home away from home. The home was clean, well maintained and equipped with everything you would need. The owners are wonderful and will do anything to make your vacation as great as possible. Our grandchildren when we got home said we want to go back to the pink house. We highly recommend this property to rent. You probably can't find anything better.

This house was everything that our extended family needed for our stay in South Carolina. Penny and her property management team ensure that your stay will be pleasant one. No disappointments here. House was clean, pool was warm, linens were plentiful, and the home is equipped with all the possible amenities you could need. We will be returning to La Vita Bella if our travels bring us back to Surfside Beach. Great Location, and a great owner that provides above average peace of mind when renting a house. Communication with Penny during this rental experience was fantastic. Rent with confidence!

We just got back today and I couldn't wait to write a review. Who needs an ocean front cottage when you are as close as this cottage is to the beach. Upon arrival I knew immediately this cottage has been taken care of and kept very clean. All of the appliances are in great shape and the furniture is in very nice condition. We will definitely rent this cottage the next time we visit Surfside. Thank you Penny.
