Really good homeowner, very fast responses when needed. Check in has changed so it’s a little different than what was written but not a big deal. Make sure to bring $30 cash with you for a parking pass. House is very clean and well taken care of. Very good spot!

So Convenient to Beach
This was our first stay in Oceanside Village and we really liked it. We paid the small fee for the gate card in order to access the private beach parking lot, it was well worth it. As for the house itself it was clean and comfortable and the communications with the owner/agent were great. We all liked the outdoor pool as well.

Awesome place to stay and play
First impression was excited. We arrived and everything was extremely easy to get in and get started. Rented a golf cart, would love to have one there, but rental was cheaper than outside rentals. The neighborhood was amazing with 2 pools and splash pad. The beach was easily accessible and allowed us to go and come back as needed. Beach was not too crowded and the Conch Cafe looked amazing. Definitely want to stay again and come back next year. Thanks Shawn and appreciate your quick and fast responses. Justin

Full review pros and cons
Rating 9 on a scale from 1 to 10. Signature characteristic of this property- cleanliness. furnishings, decor, and build are not new, very clean and very functional, new refrigerator. A/C nice and cool, good circulation with ceiling fans. Plenty of room for our family of four - spacious. 3 TVs on location, lots of Wii games. TV in the master bedroom!!! which was nice. Board games. 2 bathrooms with one en suite. Minutes from the beach so you can get your steps in! Additionally the indoor pool was also minutes away. There was an outdoor shower although we couldn’t find a way to turn it on. We took advantage of both the pool and the beach and enjoyed ourselves. The property is handicap ♿️ accessible and makes wheeling our luggage easier. The kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed and we cooked twice - breakfast and dinner- and there was plenty of space for a 4 person family like ours. Extra person could sleep on the futon but we did not need it. Plenty of extra pillows and blankets. So we have some feedback on areas of improvement: 1. The exterior ramp and stairs, though conveni

Our family of 6 was comfortable! House was clean and close to the beach front.
Overall, we had a great stay. We had 2 teens and 2 kids and the six of us fit comfortably in the house. The house was clean upon arrival and Shawn was quick with responding to my emails. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Only downside was not being able to rent an outside golfcart. We had to rent from the village and couldn't take them off of the property. The golf carts had to be plugged into the storage area since there aren't any outdoor outlets. We were so busy enjoying the local attractions though, that we never really got a chance to be in the house to enjoy the Wii or other games. The house would be great for rainy day. The pools are close by by golf cart but we didn't have a chance to enjoy those either. Next time we will plan for a 2 week vacation! Thank you for the great mini vacation!!

The house was exactly as described! Very clean and cute. I’m about 4 hours from Myrtle Beach and was there to officiate a Wedding. Who knew we would be there in the middle of a hurricane. Shawn the owner text me multiple times just to check on me. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok. Thank you Shawn for going the extra mile!

Great property and close to the beach!
This was a great house to stay in! We loved that it was a cozier beach house that was perfect for the two of us (but was spacious enough that if our party was made up of 6, we still would have been comfortable). The house was clean and had some extra supplies such as toilet paper and soap which was helpful on arrival before we were able to make a grocery trip. We loved that there is a Food Lion and a gas station right across the street!! There are lots of comfortable seating options and we personally enjoyed having our meals at the lovely kitchen island. The bed was also soft and the sheets were clean, and the house comes with many extra linens which was great. The tv has a connection to streaming services and we also brought an HDMI cable with us to stream music from our laptop during the evenings. The steps outside that lead to the front door are lit at night which we found to be a nice touch. It's also very close to the private beach. Parking and having all of our supplies in the car made it easy to go to the beach every day. We enjoyed every part of this house. You will not regret staying here!!

This property is located by the beach and pools, the only missing thing is beach wagon (it will be helpful to pack everything instead of carrying it). I would be nice to improve some home decor, it’s just a kind suggestion. Kitchen is well equipped. Gated community makes you feel safe. Overall it was a nice stay:)

Best family house I’ve stayed in yet in Myrtle Beach
Instructions from the website made checking in extremely easy. I loved the fact the house had a ramp and stairs wether your elderly or hauling a lot of stuff. The house is very beautiful roomie and cozy like if it was my own home for the first time and you can not beat the location 5-6 minutes to Murrells Inlet, Shawn was a VERY helpful host from beginning to end
