The house, the location and the host were all perfect! I cannot say enough about Sherri’s communication with me, coming from out of town for our son’s graduation at Coastal Carolina. We rented the house for our family and had an amazing time!

Thank you Nancy, and it was a pleasure hosting you and your family!
We had a wonderful time. The location is perfect. We just walked right over the street and we were at the beach and it's minutes away from the pier. The pool is a good size and is heated. We had plenty of room for all of us. We will definitely come back!

Thank you for the kind review! We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Guys golf trip. 2nd year staying at this lovely home in great location. Walk to restaurants. Comfortable beds. Kitchen was well stocked but do note that soap and shampoo is not supplied for bathrooms
We had a great stay! The place was very clean and even better than the pictures. The location is fantastic—an easy walk to the beach and several restaurants within a few blocks. It’s also just a short drive to grocery stores and anything else you might need. Would definitely stay here again! Parking for at least 4 cars maybe more if you coordinate it. Elevator was great for my 85 year old mom! We walked to the beach every morning to watch sunrise! There was a kite show at the beach while we were there and we watched from our 2nd floor patio. We did breakfast for bridal party and whatever we forgot to bring we found there, electric skillet, ice machine,…

I am so glad you had a wonderful stay and hope to host you again in the future!
overall the property met our needs. the kitchen and living area was excellent and we really enjoyed our time there. location is good and beach access is very good. overall I would recommend the property to others.
Our stay was amazing! The house was exactly what we needed for our family. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. Plenty of blankets and towels. Lots of games. It had amazing views of sunset and sunrise. The host was also so great to work with. Very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time, the location was perfect, just next to the public beach access, and the owner was super responsive. The pool guys showed up to check the pool, since it had rained, and we mentioned two minor issues, and got a message back from the owner within a couple hours and a visit from a contractor to fix them that afternoon.
House of the Rising Sun was the perfect space for our large family! The kitchen was well equipped, and the living space was large enough for us all to gather and enjoy being together. It is also right across from a beach access, which is really convenient. The heated pool was also a plus since we had two little ones with us.
The house was perfectly clean upon arrival and all furniture was suitable. Located just one block from the beach, the location could not have been better. Would highly recommend for any groups heading to Myrtle Beach.
It was lovely. Adequate space for us to be together or to get away from one another. Beautiful inside and out. Very clean. Close to the beach, walking distance to several restaurants. Just loved every minute and never wanted to leave.

Thank you for the 5 star review! We are so glad you had a great stay!
Our group of 8 were on our 30th golf trip to Myrtle Beach area. This was one of the best homes we stayed in. Clean, nicely equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and easy walk to restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.
Large beautiful home with room for the whole family and plenty of parking. The home and pool were well maintained. A short walk across the street to the beach was a plus. The host was very responsive as well.
Our kids and grands joined us for a beautiful week of fun and sun! We loved the location, the house and the community! Wished we had booked for a longer stay! It was delightful. The owners were so gracious and accommodating!
Came here to celebrate our friend and take in a few of the golf courses, and it was an awesome house and area! Accessible to the beach and walking distance to the restaurants and bars, would definitely recommend staying here again.

Location was amazing, house plenty big enough for 3 family’s. Home owner is very responsive and made sure we had anything we needed. Kids had a blast in the pool and short enough walk to the beach we didn’t even use the stroller!
Thank you for the kind review. We hope to host you again in the future!!
