Crystal Blue Persuasion - Four Bedroom, Three Bath Home with Private Pool

2024 Notice: The owners of Crystal Blue Persuasion have recently completed updates, which include a swimming pool makeover. The pool now has new lights and furniture, while the outdoor shower has been moved closer to the pool area. Additionally, the front porch has been furnished with new furniture, and the first floor of the home has been freshly painted. Please note that the current photos and virtual tour do not accurately reflect these updates.

Crystal Blue Persuasion is a four-bedroom, three-bath second row beach house located 0.5 miles south of Surfside Pier and across the street from public beach access. This property features a fully-equipped kitchen complete with a microwave and dishwasher, as well as a washer, dryer, central heat and air conditioning, and ceiling fans throughout. Five TVs (75-inch Samsung Smart TV in living room, 24-inch SAMSUNG Smart TV in downstairs bedroom, 43-inch TCL Roku TV in upstairs master bedroom, 32-inch HANNSPREE TV in bunkbed room, 26-inch VIZIO TV in upstairs room with two queen-sized beds) and Wi-Fi are also included. Sleeping accommodations include two king and two queen-sized beds, plus two twin-over-double bunk beds.

Conveniently located close to some of the best area attractions, Garden City Beach is directly south of Surfside Beach and ends on a peninsula at the mouth of Murrells Inlet. One of the most renowned attractions in Garden City Beach is the Pier at Garden City. Other points of interest include Marlin Quay Marina and restaurants Sara J's Seafood Restaurant, Gulfstream Café, and Original Sam's Corner.

Just south of Garden City Beach is Murrells Inlet, a seaside community considered the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina" and home to some of the nation's best golf courses. Once primarily a fishing village, the town is best known for the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, a half-mile-long boardwalk overlooking a pristine salt marsh, and the many award-winning restaurants along Highway 17 Business in the central business district.

Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve built on four former rice plantations, is located slightly south of the MarshWalk. It features several themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, trails through several nature reserve ecosystems, and the Lowcountry Zoo.

If you're looking for places to shop, The Market Common, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, two Tanger shopping outlets, Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade, and many more shopping facilities are all within an easy drive from Garden City Beach.

Looking for entertainment and attractions? Take in a show at Pirates Voyage, Medieval Times, Alabama Theater, The Carolina Opry, or Legends in Concert. Then visit SkyWheel Myrtle Beach, Ripley's Aquarium, WonderWorks, Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium, Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center, and The Pavilion Nostalgia Park.

Other points of interest close by include the waterfront community of Georgetown, the third oldest city in South Carolina and the second largest seaport in South Carolina, and historic Conway, with its downtown Riverwalk area nestled on the banks of the Waccamaw River. Both towns include fine dining, shopping, and historic sites.

Golf trip at South Surfside

This is our second stay at this property. Great place, great location….pool, hot tub, beach, property layout is very nice, and restaurants in walking distance. We played some great golf courses all within a 30 drive. My only disappointment was a shortage of toilet paper, soap and some kitchen essentials.

Fun family vacation house! With all the fun amenities and plenty of room for every one

We loved having the pool at the house to entertain the kids if we didn’t want to go to the beach and the hot tub is plus for the adults to unwind at night. Location was perfect were close to everything we wanted to do. It was a great house for a family.

Good stay

We enjoyed our stay. The listing said hot tub was included but we were not allowed to use it because of breaker problems but we really enjoyed everything else. The house was clean and well stocked, and the pool was heated.

Great home for an off season visit. The heated pool was warm and the hot tub bubbly. Walking distance to the beach and all of the local watering holes. Family had a great visit and Alan was attentive to the small issues that arose. I highly recommend.

Great Property

Great Location close to the beach and plenty of stores. Plenty of space for my big family. The hot tub was broken the whole time, but we still enjoyed the pool and ocean. The pool was cleaned every other day which was nice. We will look into this place again next year.

Family vacation

The house was nice and we had everything we needed. The location was not the best for us. It was super loud with motorcycles and cars and it made it difficult to hear conversations while at the pool and to sleep at night.

The place was clean and very nice. Loved the pool. Disappointed that hot tub didn't work and the golf cart was very hard to drive. Steering messed up so we only used it once.

What a fabulous property!

We came to Surfside specifically for my son to play baseball at Cal Ripken. Once we arrived at this beautiful house, it was very hard to leave. The pool and hot tub were a family favorite and both were exceptionally clean.....we only went to the beach once!! The golf cart was so much fun and we loved taking rides around town. Alan is so easy to work with, and we very much appreciated that he is OCD, it is the most organized beach rental house I have ever stayed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the house is very quiet. We cannot wait to come back and stay at this house again. It was one of the best trips we ever had!!

Clearly a business property

The house was perfect for what we wanted, close to the beach with a small pool to relax in. The house wasn't as clean as some people in our group felt it should be but it wasn't anything egregious. We were surprised to I find no linens or towels because we canceled a different beach house that didn't provide those basic amenities. Overall we enjoyed our stay and that is why I gave it 5 stars but I did want to mention some of the things that other guests might want to know.

Location good but won't stay again

The house needs a good cleaning, ceiling fans dusty & we had to clean them, bath mats dirty & need to be washed, sliding glass door tracks look molded, in one of the bedrooms the lamp on the nightstand when went to turn it on the shade fell off it was like shade was worn out & dry rotten from light bulb, we had to clean 2 of the bathtubs And the master bedroom balcony is unsafe the railing is loose, the house comes with golf cart but it stop on us with with half battery charge & we had to push back to house. This house would be a nice if it had a GOOD cleaning

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in this home for 15 years. Great location. Great furnishings. The new owner is in the process of upgrading the property. There are two items we'd recommend be fixed. First, is that the TV in the family room isn't hooked to cable. The other TVs in the house are hooked up so it seems like an easy inexpensive fix. Second, the hot tub has the temperature locked at a max of 99 degrees. That temp limit should be raised to 104 degrees.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was good except we were significantly inconvenienced three times by technicians that said they needed to address the rental's network / WiFi system. We were not having any issues with connectivity. The 1st encounter caused me to miss beach time with my family as I had to stay in the unit while the technician tried to fix a problem we were not aware of... after 3 hours, he left without fixing the supposed problem. The 2nd encounter was a Spectrum technician that spent 3 hours from late afternoon to early evening swapping equipment... caused my family to miss a planned dinner out! After the equipment swap, the network / WiFi did not work the next day and a 3rd technician had to come out and fix the issue. More missed beach time for me! Everything was working and don't understand why these technical visits needed to occur on my vacation time... I was just renting the unit. Very dissatisfied about this and feel a rental credit is warranted! I would be happy to hear a reply regarding this unfortunate situation!

Fantastic Location; Needs some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this property for 12 years. The house is in a fantastic location and size of pool is great. Sadly this year, basic upkeep (cleaning of house and pool, landscaping/trimming of trees, ants in the kitchen) is lacking. For a house this large, more storage is needed for guests' belongings. Launder comforters and check for stains. Not all provided linens in good shape. Hot tub cover is broken. No recycling service as in previous years. Old rusted golf cart and discarded armoire in parking area detracts from the appearance. Investment in a good housecleaning service, pest control service, outside maintenance, and attention to details will greatly improve the general condition and appearance of the property. Our family loves this house and will definitely consider returning in the future.

Hurricane retreat

My family and I were scheduled the Day after Hurricane Mathew went through. Alan called and told me the house was without power and the area was evacuated so he could not even confirm the condition. He offered money back. Since we had our time scheduled off we ask him to let us know when he could get there and check the condition. After the evacuation order was lifted, Alan checked on the property he said it was in good condition but the beach and roads may be a problem and again offered a full refund. We chose to go on down. The city of Surfside did a great cleanup and the house was in excellent condition. The ocean was a little rough, but hey a hurricane just passed through. The house was large and in very good condition. I had my 4 adult kids and 2 grandkids. They all loved the heated pool and hot tub. We were maybe 100 yard from the ocean, maybe closer... We were so close to Bubba's Fish House, while the kids were trying to bring up a menu on the internet I stepped over and got a menu before they could load it on their phone. The house has good decks for sitting and enjoying the ocean breeze, the kitchen was well appointed and the bathrooms clean. I hope to return next year, I can't remember a better family vacation. Thanks Alan for getting this ready post hurricane!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the first time in 10 years that we have booked through a realty company for the vacation. Having stayed in the direct vicinity, the location is perfect. However, there are some things within the house that need reviewed:1. The white table on the front porch needs to be thrown away. Due to the condition of the table/chairs, it couldn't be used. It may be able to be power washed.2. There needs to be towel racks in all of the bathrooms or even towel hooks on the bathroom door.3. Many of the appliances didn't work, such as the mixer. The toaster had to be consistently reattached on the bottom, so we got to the point we didn't use it. A personal preference would be to replace the coffee pot with a Keurig. 3. There were not enough steak knives. We had to share knives when we had steak....there were like 4 knives.4. It was odd that there were not regular spoons. There were iced tea spoons or large tablespoons.5. The upkeep around the pool and hot tub needs to be addressed. There were leaves, weeds, and other debris from trees all around the pool and hot tub. There were leaves there that seemed from winter. 5. Personal preference again, but an umbrella around the pool would have been nice.6. It also did not seem like the pool filters were working. We had to clean the bugs and other debris from the pool daily. Please know that we had a great week, and the house was a relatively great rental. Listing the items above will allow other renters to have a great time at this beach rental.

convenient location

Much of the house is recently remodeled it looks like. The rooms were bigger in person than the pictures made them appear, this was most evident in the living/dining room which was a huge relief to not be crowded for space. Check in was super simple. The management company was amazing to work with. The location was great. Our last rental was on the beach so I worried how I’d take being in a second row house but getting to the beach was so quick and easy, just a quick walk across the street, with a crosswalk. There were also many restaurants within a 10 minute walk safely along sidewalks the whole way. The hot tub was warm and ready when we arrived which was great. The hot tub is a nice size, seating 7 so we enjoyed it a lot. I will note, that it does say “heated pool” but whatever type of heat they use I don’t know and I’m only familiar with the propane style we use. But for wherever reason we were told on inquiry that the pool doesn’t heat when it’s below 55 degrees or at night. So not only was it not warm when we arrived but since our first couple days the high barely got to 55 the pool didn’t heat up until our last day (and checkout is 10am so didn’t get to use it). I think “pool with a heater” is a better description than “heated pool” since it was indeed not heated (they came out and turned the heat on the day after we checked in). The hot tub was plenty for us so this would not keep me from choosing this house again. I love that all linens were included, the kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and dishes, including wine glasses. I was also pleasantly surprised to find not only a portacrib but a high chair and bed rail as well. We were traveling with kids and to save space I had just planned to use my stroller as a high chair so was happy I didn’t need to. There was not a baby gate but they didn’t list one either so I didn’t expect one, I just wanted to point that out since there were other non listed baby items so if you’re traveling with an infant you may want one for the bottom of the stairs, ours is old enough to navigate stairs. There was also an abundance of sand and pool toys.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 5th time renting Crystal Blue Persuasion (2nd time through Garden City Realty). It is a lovely home. It is directly across from the ocean. There were many upgrades this year to the home, which made it even more lovely. The only thing I would comment on is the cleanliness of the home. There was ketchup on the kitchen counter in several places and food splatters on the backsplash. The bedroom nightstands and dressers had thick dust and the ceiling fans were dirty and some need replaced. Vacation homes are rented each week and cleaned each week. I would expect the home to be cleaner than it was with having a cleaning every week. There are many restaurants within walking distance and the new Surfside Beach Pier is great! We love this place!!
