About this property

Great Beach House - Private Pool - 3 min walk to the beach & restaurants

5 Bedrooms & 4 Baths - (Sleeps 13)

Serendipity by the Sea is located right in the heart of Surfside Beach. PARKING IS NOT AN ISSUE. We are a short walk - 2 blocks - from the beach and Surfside Pier. Restaurants and nightlife is walking distance. We are right around the corner from the library, playground, basketball & tennis courts. Surfside Beach is "the family beach" - South of the Grand Strand Myrtle Beach (only 6 miles south of Myrtle Beach Airport).

We take great pride in our beach house and want families to enjoy their vacations here as much as we do. The house is very clean, in excellent condition and is furnished with all the comforts of home. It has new living room furniture, accessories, and quartz kitchen countertops. New hardwood flooring was just installed upstairs and in all the bedrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your vacation stay.

Rocking chairs are on the three covered balconies for peaceful relaxation. The front balconies overlook the pool and you can watch the sunrise reflecting on the ocean from the Master Balcony with your morning coffee. Our private pool with furniture make for pleasant use of the outdoor spaces.

Surfside Beach is less crowded than Myrtle Beach. You can enjoy the wide white sandy beach with lifeguards during the summer season; quiet relaxing time at the private fenced pool or the many activities the area has to offer.

Golf, shopping, water parks, miniature golf, shows & attractions are only minutes away; restaurant row in Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island are only 15 minutes away and historic Charleston is 90 miles away.

In-season (June - August) we offer weekly rentals that start at 4pm on Saturday and check-out is the following Saturday no later than 10am. Off-season rentals (September - May) we offer 3-4 day minimum rentals. The contract signer must be 25 years of age or older and occupy the property during the rental period. We have an exterior camera in the Parking Area for security purposes.

Pets are not allowed. An additional fee will be charged if this rule is violated.

This is a great house for multi-family vacations. We hope you decide to spend your vacation at Serendipity by the Sea.

Perfect Beach Stay!

Had an amazing vacation at Serendipity! House was clean, spacious & 2 blocks from the beach. Kitchen was full of appliances so made cooking very easy and we loved having the pool in the backyard for evening swims after the beach. Kids park within walking distance was a plus! We will definitely be back again and will recommend to friends - wonderful experience!!

Wonderful Getaway!

Wonderful location, house, and hosts with so many things that are walking distance or a short drive. Linda and Ron were extremely easy to communicate with and their house is beautiful. The heated pool came in handy when the temperatures dipped. I would highly recommend Serendipity for your next vacation.

Our Wedding Weekend

Our stay at this property was absolutely perfect! The house had plenty of space for everyone to spread out, but also large enough gathering areas for unity. The floor plan worked out perfect for us. You can’t beat having the pool right in the back yard. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! There were several well checks from the host which was also greatly appreciated as well!

Wonderful Vacation Home

Great home, great location, great owners! The house was clean and comfortable. So many little extras provided that other homes do not. My only complaint was not having a privacy fence between the two swimming pools of the duplex. However, we truly enjoyed our stay at Serendipity by the Sea.

Beautiful vacation property

This lovely beach home is the most well appointed vacation rental I have stayed in! Everything you need for a great vacation is already in the house, and the location couldn't be more perfect. A quick 3 minute walk to the beach was easy, even with little ones in tow and carrying all of our beach gear. The decor was beautiful in the home and everything inside and out was extremely clean. The owner was super easy to work with and we appreciated that the home was just as she described.

Great vacation

It was such a pleasure dealing with the new owners of the house. Everything we needed was there. After a very long drive, it was so nice to have linens already there and beds made for us. This helped with packing so much. It’s the little things that make sure a difference. This house is in the perfect location to the beach and everything that surfside has to offer.

Nice stay, just couple of hiccups

Everyone in my family had a wonderful time!.. lots of room, nice open concept.. only thing is that utensil drawer completely fell off the track when we opened it and could have been disastrous had it been one of the kids and there was no gas in the grill and was told to just buy it and we would be reimbursed but after emailing receipt no one contacted me so I guess the next occupants benefited. Otherwise I recommend it

Great experience

We traveled on a road trip from Boston MA to surf side South Carolina and it was a awesome! The house was clean, spacious enough clean towels and and bathrooms for our guest of 7! The kitchen was equipped with everything you can imagine! Only downside was there was no out door grill for us to use. We became friends with the guests next to us and they kindly let us use the grill they had available. My husband and I ride the bike alongside the beach and it was a great experience. Walking distance to the beach, bars etc! Only downside it more for older folks who there to relax but overall great stay! Thank you for letting us stay at your home!

2nd Summer Here - Another Great Trip

This was my 2nd time renting this property. Linda and Ron are so responsive and helpful. They added linens to the package this year, huge upgrade. New furniture was comfy. As always everything you need is here - it’s like going to your own home but better lol. They think of it all… including a high chair and baby gate which we needed. Amazing location. Plenty of space. Private pool. We will be back next year. Thanks for the wonderful memories and a stress-free vacation. Also highly recommend AJax golf cart rental. Excellent customer service and responsiveness.

Cleaning

The house was clean to the naked eye but once we got into the house we noticed a couple things that were not clean. Under all furniture it was dirty and the AC was dirty. We had one person from our party get sick. When we looked at the vent in their room it was black inside. There were filters for the unit in the closet so we changed them and that helped. When we arrived there was a dirty diaper on the upper balcony that we needed to remove. The house itself was wonderful and we had a great vacation. The cleaning crew just needs to be better.

Perfect Retreat After A Crazy 2020

We have been an Ocean City, MD family for decades. Well, with the pandemic- boardwalks and crowds didn’t seem very safe so we stumbled upon this property and Surfside beach. And .... I think we may have found a new summer location for years to come. Great home that is clean but feels very much like home. Pool was great. Kitchen was well outfitted and we had every meal for the week there. Rented a golf cart (highly recommend-AJax) and we explored this little town and fell in love. We really didn’t need to pack as much as we did because Linda provides a well stocked house with games, sand toys, bikes, boogie boards, and plenty of kitchen supplies. She and Ron are very responsive to any questions. Will definitely come back here again!!! If you have kids - the jack and Jill bathroom and bedroom set up is PERFECT! My dad doesn’t do lots of stairs very well so he was thrilled with a main floor bedroom with full bath. This fit our family and needs like a glove.

Great Stay at Surfside

Even before our visit we were impressed by the professional welcome letter - covering everything that mattered, and beautifully formatted to boot! The home was exactly as advertised, and we were especially impressed with the well stocked kitchen. Plenty of dishes, glasses and all the pots/pans/gadgets we needed. The pool was amazing - it was serviced twice during our stay. Gene and Verla were very responsive to our questions and the couple of concerns that arose during our stay. No major issues, but a couple of minor house maintenance things that they promised would be fixed following our stay. It was indeed a short walk to the beach. We were dissapointed the pier is under construction, but we had plenty of room on the beach. We easily fit four cars in the driveway with room for a fifth. WiFi was good throughout the house - an occasional drop of connection for no apparent reason but we easily re-connected. The Firestick in the living room TV gave us good choices, and the Chromecast I brought rounded out the programming. A great stay! Thanks Gene & Verla!
