Memorable Stay!

Every year between Christmas and New Year, our family takes a trip to the Myrtle Beach area. This house is one that we will never forget! We were excited about all of the toys available at this house! Since it’s winter time, you never know what weather you’ll get. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool table and foosball table, the ping pong, and air hockey table as well! The house was clean upon arrival. It was well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The owners were very kind and quick to respond. You can tell that they take pride in their home, as they should! It was beautiful! The Christmas decorations were a very nice touch! Thank you so much!

Great views great for large groups

Immediately surprised by the amazing views. Not only do you get the ocean, but the inlet is splendid. The dock was tremendous and the fishing equipment was ready on arrival. The house accommodated 14 adults with ease, with clean sheets on the bed when we arrived. Kitchen was large and had everything we needed. Popcorn machine was a hit the first night. My favorite part was the amount of games available; air hockey, shuffle board, pool, table tennis. There were 4 kayaks and a 2 person canoe, perfect for a group of our size to split up and explore the inlet. The beach was easily within walking distance, but even better was a short golf cart ride away! The golf cart put the grocery store and local bars in even closer proximity. Plenty of outdoor seating and decks for relaxing on, with the hot tub in a prime viewing location. Pictures don't do the view justice. We enjoyed our 3 days and expect to book again in the future!

It truly was a beautiful place with all things you might need. We made some good memories there and enjoyed every moment of it. The owner was so prompt with replying whenever we had questions.

Amazing experience!!! What a great vacation!

The house and property was wonderful. So many amenities to enjoy by our whole family. The location to the beach was great. We utilized all of the games and fishing equipment too. We even enjoyed a friendly otter that came to visit. The kitchen was so well equipped as well as the grill. The hot tubs were enjoyed by all. Our 7 days was so much fun. Thank you for making our stay so memorable - even the excitement with Hurricane Elsa!!

Prefect location, clean home, plenty of activities

The location of the home was wonderful as beautiful views of the sound and ocean were visible from most of the house. The home was not only clean but they left cleaning supplies out for super picky people like me. When we arrived, they had the outside tv on, the cornhole boards out the games all set up in the garage, the outside lights on, etc. They had obviously prepared for our arrival. Since we planned to do most of our activities at the house, the kids were entertained the entire time. I was very impressed with the property, the obvious updates they have and are doing to the homes (ex. the nice floors), the location, and the ease of working with the owners. I would certainly stay here again.

Location was wonderful!

The house was fantastic, great location. We were excited about all of the amenities listed with the property. However, we found several things that didn't work. The grills didn't work properly because they have not been cleaned properly. The microwave is old and worked off and on. The bikes didn't all work - brakes were broken. The game tables weren't in great condition. One of our family members told us the jets on one side of large hot tub didn't work. I just feel if you list all of these amenities you should check to see if they are in working order. Our stay was still very enjoyable. We loved the view from the house and the dock was wonderful. Very close to a beautiful beach area. Thank you

We are so disappointed your stay was not exceptional. Our team works very hard to ensure everything is enjoyable from the moment guests arrive . We replaced 6 or the 9 bikes, golf cart and both hot tubs after the flooding in August 2020. the microwave is still under the one year warranty . Igniters on grills are difficult to keep operational all year being so close to the waters edge so we provide and set up the charcoal grill lighter fluid and a lighter. We do find it difficult to check everything each time because of the amount of amenities we provide and appreciate guests letting us know when things happen . Being so close to the ocean and salty air thing don't last very long.Our guests are never charged for letting us know when something breaks . We hope your partial refund made up for any inconvenience you experienced .

Family vacation

Fishing off the dock was one of the husband's and kids favorite parts of this vacation! Such a variety was caught and so many memories made♡ The house had many things to do on rainy days and so much space for our family, we really enjoyed it. A few hiccups due to a previous storm but the owners had someone fix the hot tub and brought a new golf cart to the house! We really appreciated them doing so and enjoyed their home for a week...a week was too short would have loved to of stayed longer, definitely would come back.

Oh my goodness! Best home ever. Have never seen or been in such a great location and place. We didn’t leave the house for anything but souvenirs. The beach was fabulous, the fishing was fun off the deck, the kids kept catching crabs. The toys in the garage were plentiful and such a variety we didn’t know what to do first. The golf cart was very useful to get granny to the beach. More than comfortable, it was luxurious!!! We will be back for sure!!

This property delivers everything it describes! It is one of the best places at Cherry Grove to see incredible sunrise and sunset. Beautiful views inside and out.

Amazing house with all the extras!

This house is perfect for a large family, wedding or reunion! My original wedding plans were cancelled due to COVID-19 so we decided to have a family only ceremony at the beach. This house could not have been more perfect! It has a private beach and a large area under the house perfect for a reception that is already decorated with lights and two tiki bars. The view of the water is amazing! The rental included kayaks, a canoe, golf cart, life jackets, beach chairs, coolers, decorations for the wedding, two hot tubs, fishing gear and every game table imaginable. There is something for all ages to enjoy. The owners were great to work with! I give this house 5 stars plus!! We will definitely be staying here again! It was by far the best beach house I have ever rented!

Family Christmas Gathering - Cherry Grove

Desiree and Tony were wonderful as hosts -from the time of the initial booking through checkout. The property is perfectly situated and has views that are spectacular. It was clean and is represented well in the photos. Lots of activities (fishing and boating), and two hot tubs... we were a large group and everyone was VERY pleased. We had an awesome time! Ar the end we were sent off well, as a family of dolphins were swimming up the waterway - what a site! Would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a great location for a large group, and wonderful hospitality in the North Myrtle Beach area - spectacular! Thanks - The Smalls Family
