About this property

An original Surfside Tradition!

Originally located on the pedestrian beach "Gables" has been hosting family vacations since 1962. After a storm the family relocated the home to the middle beach area a few years ago and at that time decided to add an extra bedroom and restroom to the downstairs and remodel the home. "Gables" is a home everyone on the island knows and recognizes. Owned by a lovely family who cherishes it and enjoys knowing that it means so much to so many. Sharing their beautiful home makes it that much more special. * LIFE - Enjoy the journey and soak up some sun! *

"Gables" is an impressive property that is very well loved and taken care of. The property is a 4 bedroom / 2.5 bath along with a loft area with a partially private area and a restroom.

The loft has separate sleeping areas that are open but semi-private at the same time. For entertainment there is a TV area.

The 4 bedrooms on the main level each have a King or a Queen size bed. Beautifully situated on the Middle Beach area of Surfside Beach. The yard around the Gables is perfect for the entertaining, kids to play, BBQing, etc... and access to the water is so easy, just a few short steps from grass to sand. You and your family and/or friends will leave this house wishing you could have stayed longer. This property books almost a year in advance so please let us know as soon as possible what dates you are interested in.

Adventure

While this house did not work out for our trip, we had an awesome experience with Denise. She went above and beyond at 3am to get us into a house that was best for our trip. Denise deserves an award for her wiliness and kindness to us. There were 15 of us total, included 2 babies and 3 kids under 5. She was our vacation saver, and we will forever be grateful to her!! Denise you rock! Thank you

Long in the tooth

Property is a little long in the tooth for a repeat stay... the oven knob numbers were faded off, makes for a hard time cooking ... and the dishwasher was not attached to the counter, it kept falling forwards when loading and the internet is not hooked up to the TV’s.....that kinds sums it up

2022 Vacation

I’ve stayed at The Gables several times before with my parents and family. My Mom passed away last February so it was bittersweet for me. She loved the beach and having all her family there. Great location and loved the new additions. The front of the house didn’t cool as well but that is expected in this heat! We did get a call the day before we left saying someone said we had a dog with us. No animals with us, just our kiddos. We enjoyed our stay!

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022

About the host

Hosted by Beach Resort Services

Beach Resort Services is a family owned and operated business that originally opened it's doors in 1995. After the passing of our founder the business was transferred to the next in line.

Our family began taking vacations to Surfside Beach in 1958. A week at a time to start, then multiple visits a year went to a month during summer until we eventually relocated and built a home here in 1976.

The company is run by three generations of family with the 4th generation working their way up. We hope to continue the family tradition for years to come. We are a family, helping families to have a vacation of fun and a lifetime of memories.

ENJOY SURFSIDE BEACH!

What makes this property unique

The upstairs loft is probably the most unique thing about "GABLES". While offering a place for many to gather it still manages to provide semi private sleeping spaces.
