Host was so great. I messaged saying we were celebrating our anniversary and Valentine’s Day. When we arrived there were roses, chocolates and a card wishing a happy anniversary. Such a sweet touch. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect. Quick 2min walk to beach. View was incredible.

Although the house doesn't sit directly in front of the beach, you can still get a good view from the top deck. It was a small house, but that's what we were looking for. Who needs a huge house when you're planning on spending majority of your time outdoors anyway?? It was clean, cute and easily accessible. Hose at the bottom of the steps to rinse off with. Trashcan right outside in case you make a lot of trash. Washer/dryer is a nice touch. I even got the meet the owners of the home while we were there and they were great! I highly recommend. 5/5!

This is a cute 2-story house with excellent proximity to the beach for easy waterfront access. The home is well-maintained and clean. Communication with the host was seamless. The water pressure is good but you will need to bring your own bottled water for drinking. Mosquitoes were fierce during our stay which limited the deck time, but that is not something the host can control. The house is next to the main road through town. This was a nice place in Surfside Beach.

Why they chose this property

This property is new, clean and on the quiet beachside of Bluewater highway. The street is private with beach access just steps away from the house. It is just over a mile and a half from the main bridge in Surfside; therefore, it is close to restaurants and local shops.
Convenience and comfort await you at the Tipsy Flamingo!
