The Neighborhood:
We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! This particular home is located in the heart of Surfside and just a few blocks from the Jetty which is an ideal spot for fishing enthusiasts, and with surfing, shelling, and beachcombing just steps away, there's something for everyone to do.
No touristy chain restaurants, shops or hotels. Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.
Other Things to Note:
HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:
The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!

This is our second time to stay here and we have loved it each time. The property is very clean and equipped with everything you need! They also provided a little welcome package with things you will need during your stay and I thought that was the sweetest!

Thank you so much, Taylor! We’re so happy to have you back and love hearing that you’ve enjoyed both stays. The welcome basket and goodies are our little way of saying we're glad you're here!
2nd floor was pretty steep. And the terracotta tiles were uneven and a trip hazard for older adults. Otherwise, it was okay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear your stay was otherwise enjoyable. The home’s terracotta flooring and staircase are both original to the coastal design and shown accurately in the listing photos, but we understand that every layout works differently for every group. We’ll share your notes with the owner. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and wish you safe travels ahead.
We had an amazing weekend at this beach house! The location was perfect-just steps from the shore, and the views were absolutely stunning. The house was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent—friendly, responsive, and helpful from start to finish. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some quality time. Highly recommended!

Wonderful news, Aaron, we're so glad you experienced the perfect weekend getaway! Thank you for the compliments, tips for future guests, and being such lovely folks to host. We hope to host you again!
Overall, we had a good stay. The location and view are excellent. Our stay would have been much better if the closet in one bedroomhad not been locked. The other closets were not usable. The house is pretty, but in need of some repairs and updates: uneven floors, boards on outside deck were loose, cracked glass on living room window, broken lid on coffee pot, the sofa had a wire on the side sticking out. Finally, even though the owner is not at fault, the water is not safe to drink or cook. So…overall ok, but not great.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Absolutely loved the views! House has a strange layout that felt like it would fit a party/scout/church group more than families (unless you have a bunch of kids that want to sleep in one area). Cute decorations but a little overboard on non-functional furniture making it feel cluttered. For the price, it could use a deep cleaning and some new appliances. There was a missing door shelf in the fridge and the freeze drawer didn’t always shut which was important to us since we kept diabetic food in the freezer. The oven looked too dirty to use. The entire roof was caved in on the outdoor shower and couldn’t be used and downstairs area needed to be cleaned up (things scattered everywhere like someone left in a hurry). We sent a message about the cracked window, collapsed shower roof and hole in the deck flooring. We expected more for the price we paid during off season.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re glad you loved those beautiful views. We understand that every group has different needs, and while the layout is shown in our photos, we’re sorry it wasn’t the right fit for your stay. The home was designed for larger groups to gather comfortably, which is why many guests choose it—especially since it offers a very reasonable per-person rate compared to even a single hotel room on the island.
The outdoor shower’s open-roof design is intentional and common on the coast, but we’ve still sent our team to double-check the items you noted, including the freezer drawer and ground-level area. We appreciate you bringing them to our attention.
While the layout and style didn’t match your personal preference, we’re happy you enjoyed the setting and décor, and we hope you had a relaxing getaway overall. Wishing you wonderful travels ahead.
Property has good location but inside needs improvements. Both bathrooms doors downstairs and upstairs door did not close; there were no dressers in the bedrooms downstairs; the bathroom upstairs lack electrical connections to blowers, etc; the floor downstairs was uneven The AC didnot work.the company offered a 300 dollars refund due to the latter.. the stairs rom first floor to second were too steep.

It is quite the amazing location, thank you for noting! We're sorry to hear you felt this beach home needed a bit more tlc, and we will have our maintenance team thoroughly check things out. We will also provide your suggestion to the owner on dressers downstairs, although to be fair, these aren't very big rooms and most guests prefer a bigger bed than adding a dresser. Regarding the AC, dang it, unfortunately the blower motor went out during your stay, and as you said, you were generously refunded. It has since been repaired. As for the steps, these are fairly normal for our island location. We're used to them (we definitely get in our workout living here 😀), but we're sorry you found them to be steep. We do appreciate your feedback and allowing us to host your stay.
Thank you for allowing us to host your island stay, Christy! We appreciate the compliments on this home's cleanliness and location, and our crew's check-in process and communication. We're not sure what would have made your good stay go to great, but we appreciate you staying with us!
