Absolutely charming cottage, well appointed and terrific location. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay for a couple of days during our transition to our new home in South Carolina.. We wish we could have stay there longer.

Adorable Cottage

We really enjoyed our very short stay at this sweet little cottage. The cottage has a vintage feel on the outside but updated kitchen and the best shower pressure I have ever had at a rental! It is a very short walk to "downtown" Surfside, which makes walking to the restaurants possible. A lovely screened porch with comfy chairs was the best way to end the day! Definitly would stay again.

Spring Golf Trip

We booked the Ringler’s home for our annual golf and inshore fishing trip and could not have been happier with our stay. Everything matched the photos, was clean, and convenient to everything. Didn’t make it to the beach as time was limited and it was a little cold, but access is visible from the driveway. Would definitely stay again.

Great beach cottage

Perfect place for me & my dog. Had family over & plenty of room to visit, play cards and eat. Had everything I needed. While it’s an older cottage, it’s clean, well maintained & very comfortable. Decor is delightful. Front porch made for relaxing. Walk a couple (short) blocks to the beach, dog park, restaurants & bars. Easy checkin, good info from Rodney. Don’t hesitate to stay here. I’m sure I’ll be back in the Fall!

Photos do not do this property justice

The home is incredibly cute and was spotless when I arrived. I was only there a few days so I didn’t do any cooking, but, everything seemed to be available if I chose to. The neighborhood was very quite, but every you need is not far away. I’m an older person with some minor mobility issues and the beach was a comfortable walk each morning with my dog. River City Cafe is a 5 block walk. I also recommend Benjamin’s Bakery and Cafe for breakfast! Rodney was very responsive, especially when I locked myself out of the house! Thank you Rodney for allowing me and my pets to rent your lovely home. It was perfect and I will be back!!

The Facts

Pros: Location and owner communication. Sink, toilet, and shower very clean. Cons: House was built in 1957 and has Asbestos siding on the outside. Horrible smelling inside. We had to wash all clothes worn and unworn when we got home. Everything absorbed the smell of the house. Cabinets also smelled terrible. The floor was sagging everywhere which leads me to assume plywood underneath is rotting. Beds worn out. Went to vacuum (mainly because dog toys were picking up everyone else's dog's hair and dirt) and canister had never ever been emptied. FYI - we had 3 non-shedding dogs. 1 Schnoodle and 2 Shih-tzus. Dog hair and dirt packed in vacuum hose which I emptied cannister and picked hair and dirt out of hose by hand. Disgusting. Cushions on front porch so gross wouldn't sit on. Walls in bathroom had dust/dirt bunnies hanging on them. TV losing internet connection annoying, not that we watched it much. Bring your own beach chairs. The ones there were rusty and could snag or tear your bathing suit carrying them. Mat on front porch covered in dog hair. I realize it's a dog friendly rental, but that means extra cleaning necessary not less. I really didn't want to even leave a review, but I felt an honest review was warranted. I tried very hard to list facts above and not too many opinions, but here is my last thought and opinion. Land is worth more than house. House needs a match or bulldozer. Pictures don't show true condition especially inside.

Great rental!

Everything about our stay was fantastic! The rental was exactly as described and communication throughout the process was excellent. This house was perfect for our family -- and we loved relaxing on the adorable porch. And we loved the location, as it was about 3 blocks away from not only the beach, but all the great restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing place

Very clean and organized place, check in was easy and quick. The porch was very nice and it seemed like everything was new and clean. We spent a lot of time out there in the evening. Quick walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The host always answered any questions in a timely manner. The beach chairs that are provided with the house were very nice and convenient since we forgot ours. The inside of the house was also nice, clean, and had a great smell to it unlike some of the other places I’ve stayed at recently. Plenty of room for me and my friends and we all had very comfortable beds.

Wonderful Beach Getaway

My husband and I wanted a nice relaxing fall vacation and this place did not disappoint! The place was a walking distance to not only the beach, but also to some local restaurants. We were even able to bring our fur baby, our yellow lab Remi, with us! We loved walking around especially early morning and evening with Remi and most restaurants had outside seating to allow dogs! The house was nice and clean with plenty of room for friends or kids to come along. Rodney was a great host and recommended this great breakfast place you have got to try, Benjamin’s! We will definitely be coming back to this place, not too busy and walkable is a nice change of pace for us.

About the host

Hosted by Rodney Ringler

Host profile image
Rodney grew up vacationing at Garden City and Surfside Beach. After graduating from Clemson in Computer Engineering he landed in Clover SC just south of Charlotte with his wife Rachel and four children. We spend many long weekends at the house as well as renting it out to beach and ocean lovers. We liked it so much that we have purchased and rent out a townhouse and a condo within three blocks of this location as well. If you are looking for additional space and/or dates please ask us about our other places, and we hope you enjoy Surfside Beach as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This house is in a perfect location. One block away is Fuller Park with pickleball courts, a farmers market, a dog park, library, fenced in shaded playground, and tennis courts. Three blocks away sits the new Surfside Beach Fishing Pier and several great restaurants like River City Cafe, Pizza Hyena, lots of ice cream shops, and Neal & Pam’s if you like live bands and karaoke. There is indoor and outdoor seating at most venues. These restaurants are an easy 5 minute walk from our cottage. Coastal Carolina University is within 15-20 minutes drive, and the Murrell’s Inlet marsh walk and restaurant scene is less than 10 minutes away for those who love fresh seafood and beautiful marsh views. Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park are also a short 15 minute drive away. If you love art, history, and gardening you really need to give Brookgreen Gardens a look. Tickets purchased are good for 1 week, so you can go back more than once during your stay. Huntington Beach has quiet uninhabited beaches with many sea turtle nesting sites. It is one of the prettiest stretches of beach you can walk and relax at in all the Carolinas, with very few crowds at any time. If you are in town for a Myrtle Beach event the house is also just a short 15-20 minute drive up to the Grand Strand. The beach is lovely and dog friendly with leashes required. The neighborhood is very safe and walkable. It is a mixture of residential and rental properties.
Bikes and golf carts can be rented at many local establishments. Fishing gear can be purchased up on the pier, and the Garden City pier two miles south has live bands and karaoke at night on the weekends. Many beautiful golf courses are within driving distance as well. The Prestwick Country Club course designed by Pete and P.B. Dye is less than 10 minutes drive, or for a par 3 course and driving range one can go to Tupelo Bay which is only 5 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

This house sits on a quiet corner of Surfside Beach bordered by beautiful live oak trees. From the front yard you can see the beach access just a short 2 minute stroll away. There are only 4 steps to enter the house which sits on one level. The interior has a kitchen/living room and three bedrooms which include two queen beds and 1 full bed. There is a full bathroom and a well stocked kitchen. The front porch is screened in with plenty of seating and a newly epoxied floor. The yard is quite large. Please feel free to park extra vehicles, trailers, and golf carts in the back and side yard. Bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, and 2 beach chairs are provided. When our children were young we used to drive to Surfside Beach pier to watch fireworks on July 4th, dreaming that one day we would own a place at this sweet family and dog friendly beach. We fell in love with this house and hope you make as many good memories there as we have over the years.
