Great location
This was the perfect house for our 2 families with little kids. Location couldn’t be better- walking distance to pool, beach, and restaurants. There was plenty of room and everything was clean. Only minor complaint is that there weren’t any smart TVs in the house, so we had to relay on cable. Otherwise, it was great!

Family Vacation
Our family brought our dad to the beach. He hadn't been to the beach since our Mom passed away 18 years ago. He is 88 now and we had such a great time especially sitting on the front porch rocking and listening to stories from him.

Excellent location
There was 7 of us so the house provided ample room to not be on top of each other. Kitchen/dining/living room open so everyone was able to be included. A very short walk to the beach that was super easy. Very short walk to all restaurants and bars for a night of fun.

Convenient and Comfortable
The TipsyTurtle is the ideal place to stay at Surfside Beach. It is within walking distance to the majority of restaurants in the area. It’s only a 3 minute walk to the beach. We really enjoyed the open-air market at the library on Tuesday which was also only a 5-minute walk. The house was as described and clean. We had plenty of room for the 8 of us. One recommendation is to provide more seating in the living area as there’s only enough seating (couches, chairs, etc.) for 6 people. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would book it again for future visits to the area.

My family really enjoyed our stay. It’s a cute house in a nice safe neighborhood. The only negative is that the bedroom configurations are little awkward.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, this was great for the price. It is 350 steps to the beach. The house was nice, but the parking situation was iffy if you have more than two cars. Beaches were nice, and there was a fabulous July 4th golf cart parade! Several restaurants and stores within walking distance. If you rent a golf cart to drive to the beach, you will have to PAY for parking at the beach. The check-in process needs work. The kitchen chair cushions and bar stool cushions need to be replaced. We had issues with the main TV.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great family vacation at Tipsy Turtle. Surfside Beach is the best place for families to enjoy their vacation. Not as congested, quieter, but close enough to plenty of attractions. House was immaculate. Didn't have it's own pool but one available next lot down. Only shared by a few families. Walked to beach once or twice a day. Kids enjoyed the waves.

Disappointed but great location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Door was unlocked. Floors were very dirty. Had to change air filters in order to cool the house. Found various things left in the house from not being cleaned properly(condom wrappers) House needs a lot of TLC, and leak damage needs repaired. Also, there was no window treatment for the sliding door in master bedroom.

Bright Spacious and Comfortable
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Portobello felt like home. Very comfortable and clean. Furnished really nice. My family and I really enjoyed our vacation and this four bedroom beach house met all of our needs. Fully stocked kitchen, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. My daughter definitely liked having extra room to do her make up lol. This was our first time staying in the Surfside area and I'm glad we chose to vacation there. Nice and quiet. Nothing beats sitting on the front porch having a cup of coffee chit chatting planning our day. Even though we were across the street from the beach we still had a chance to view the sunrise and collect seashells. Highly recommended for a nice family get away. We had 8 in our party with room for more. Choose Southern Coast Vacation for your next vacation. The staff there was very helpful and answered all of our questions whenever we were unsure about things. Thank you all.

Wonderful Weekend
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose this house because it was in the middle of our family from Charleston, SC and us. We are so happy we did. The house was perfect, clean, and right across the street from the beach. Me and my husband stayed on the first floor and the bed was very comfortable. I need this mattress at home. My daughter and son and law and my granddaughter who is almost 3 stayed in the bedroom with the twin bed. It worked out perfect for them because they could shut the door between the main bedroom and the twin bed for privacy. My son and his girlfriend, now fiance, stayed in the master bedroom with the balcony. The 4 other grandkids stayed in the other bedroom. We played games and walked on the beach, watched the sunrise, it was perfect. We will definitely come back.
