About this property

Island House B : Updated Stylish Townhome, Steps to the Beach, with Pool!

Message us for information regarding monthly winter rates.

Recently updated! Stylish & spacious 2 bedroom raised beach-house just steps from the beach. Recently updated & stylishly appointed.

We also own 2 units next door, you can see that unit at VRBO #1440158 or #2062598.

Quartz counter-tops & stainless steel appliances. Enjoy the beach life like a local on one of the 2 decks. Sip your morning coffee on the front deck while you watch the sun rise over Surfside beach. In the evening, enjoy a glass of wine while you bbq your favorite road kill on the back deck and watch the sunset. Island House is also just a short (2 block) walk to Surfside Drive where you'll find restaurants, bars, a fishing pier, a scenic park, a dog park, and even a library. We've tried to think of everything you might need -- before you even know you need it, like new Tempur-pedic mattresses, 1500 thread count linens, free super-fast Wifi, USB charging ports throughout the house, a carbon-block & UV water filter for super pure drinking water, and a golf cart available to rent during your stay.

When you arrive, you can park right underneath your home-away-from-home. There's space for 2 cars in front and additional parking in back if needed. As you walk into your beach retreat you'll find a kitchen with new stainless steel appliances. It's fully stocked and ready for your stay. Also on the 1st floor there's a comfortable living area, dining area, a half bathroom, and a washer and dryer. The dining area seats 4 around the table plus 2 more seats at the bar. There is also a dining area on the front deck which seats 4. The living room has a sleeper sofa and plenty of additional seating as well as cable TV and WiFi.

There are two decks for lounging. The front deck is covered and is a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. The back deck is open, overlooks the pool and contains a gas grill for all your bbq needs. Right behind the back deck is a fenced in yard with a pool. The pool is shared by only 4 units of the Island House so you never have to worry about crowds.

The two bedrooms are located upstairs, one on either end with a hallway and bathroom in between. Each bedroom contains a queen bed with Tempur-Pedic mattresses, a dresser, closets and there is a TV in the master. We've also put several USB charging stations throughout the house.

It's just a 60 second walk to beautiful Surfside Beach. Check the storage shed in the carport for boogie boards and other beach gear. Biking is a great way to get around and explore the area -- we've supplied 2 so you can really live like a local!

A 4 passenger golf cart available to rent during your stay.

Located on Dogwood Dr right off of 3rd Ave North, 1 1/2 blocks from the Beach and 2 1/2 blocks from Surfside Drive (restaurants, bar, & pier).

Awesome condo - clean - close to beach
This place is a gem. It is so close to the beach. It was very clean, very comfortable beds and sheets. Many extras included, even extra large bath towels, and dog friendly! My husband and I and our dog Jasper had a wonderful time.

Great Location - beautiful cottage.
It was a lovely beach cottage. Would stay again. Might consider buying some beach umbrellas as all were broken and unable to use. The grill needs some attention too. Overall, minor minor things easily fixed.

Not made aware of construction across street
Left day early because concrete pumper and Cement trucks started at 7am and were going to run all day. Had to go tell the workers turn their music down or off days leading to concrete dump. I could go into greater detail but what's the point. Rental owner did not make compensation overture. A sorry doesn't cut it. Was really looking for a relaxing stay. Cie le vie.

Simply Perfect
This house was an absolute gem. 2 blocks from the ocean, and a few more to a bunch of restaurants and entertainment. Very quiet neighborhood and family oriented. The location was great. The home, was exactly what you would want. Not only did Bob provide details on everything in the home, it was also very stylish. Where else have you stayed with DKNY towels? This guy brings vacation homes to the next level. There is nothing bad I can say about our experience. It was simply perfect. Thank you Bob for everything.

Great house! Great location!
Our stay at Island House B was great! There was a minor hiccup with getting in the house, but I was quickly able to get in touch with Bob and Melissa and they reset the code right away. The house had everything we needed and was super close to the beach. We rented the golf cart from them too and used it daily. We definitely plan on renting again!

Short walk to the beach
It is a short walk to the beach access off 3rd Ave (has a bathroom too). Please note that there are steep steps to enter property. 3 out of 5 stars for cleanness- kitchen and bathrooms were clean, but the floors and area rugs need a good deep cleaning.

Relaxing vacation, would def stay again.
Very clean and organized, has everything that you may need including condiments, Keurig coffee pods, sugar etc. Loved the location, really close to the beach. Lots of books and games. It’s a lovely neighborhood, the cart is fun to ride all over exploring and schlepping things to the beach. Our puppy enjoyed greeting the other dogs through the balcony railings each day. There are beach chairs and umbrellas to use in the shed although they are a little beaten up they still worked. Loved having the little pool so close. It rained the first night we were there and there was debris in the pool, the net was broken to scoop it out. We messaged Bob and within an hour someone came and cleaned the pool and replaced the net. The living room furniture could do with being replaced soon, a bit grubby but there are covers to use for it. That was our only con, we really enjoyed our stay and would def stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Melissa

Host profile image
We're Bob and Melissa and we've been married for 29 years. After years of beach vacations, we decided to finally buy a home at the beach and we love it. We bring a combined 50+ years of experience in the hospitality industry. Our goal is to bring the absolute best of what we've learned over the years and make your stay amazing!

Why they chose this property

We love the family atmosphere of Surfside beach! It's a fantastic white sand beach without all the high-rise "condo-tels" (and crowds) of the commercial sections just a few miles north. We purchased Island House because of all the properties we looked at, Island House just had a unique feel and vibe that we didn't find anywhere else in Surfside.

What makes this property unique

Just a 60 second walk to one of the widest sections of beach in the Grand strand. Many of the public access points have restrooms (major bonus), and none of the crowds you have to fight at other beaches!
