Everything was perfect!

By The Pond had everything we needed for the most amazing vacation. The pool was so relaxing. The golf cart and beach chairs made going to the beach a breeze and so many toys for the kids! Sitting by the pond with coffee was the best way to wake up every day. No need to go anywhere as this place was perfect for cooking all our meals and had so much to keep everyone entertained the entire week!

Perfect family vacation

We live By the Pond for so many reasons, but the top 3 are its location, cleanliness, and layout. There is enough room for grandparents and teens to spread out when needed but there are also lots of spaces they can hang out together.

The perfect house for our family!

Staying at "By the Pond" has become my family's summer tradition over the last six years. We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. This house checks all of the boxes! We look forward to continuing to stay at "By the Pond" for many years to come.

Perfect week with a perfect house!

The house was very accommodating, clean and spacious. It is bigger on the inside than it looks. Love the two sitting areas. The kids loved the pool, the pond with the turtles and riding the golf cart. The golf cart was a huge help with all the little ones. Perfect weak!!!

Charming ground floor cottage in great location. The included linens and golf cart were wonderful bonus. The pond with turtles was big hit with kids as well as playground in sight of house and pool. Lots of chairs and places to sit and relax. We had great trip.

Great family vacay spot

This was our second time staying at By the Pond and although our trip was cut short by the weather we still love it there and I'm sure we'll be back again in the future. The house has everything you need and loads of space. The location is perfect. Close to the beach and a quick drive to Murrell's Inlet if you want to venture out for some great restaurants in the evening. Love the convenience of taking the golf cart to Benjamin's to grab a coffee and some delicious breakfast in the morning. And the pond right outside has so many turtles! Kathy and Steve are great and always checking in to make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommend staying here!!

Great vacation rental

We thoroughly enjoyed this deceptively large beach house. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the home and the layout. We enjoyed the beach and the pool and it was nice to have the outdoor showers to wash the sand away. We really liked the golf cart very handy to take o the beach. We were quite pleased with this home and would rent it again.

FAMILY VACATION

Steve & Kathy, we have stayed many years in Surfside Beach and this has been the best yet. The house was perfect for us. It was just as it was described. We loved the golf cart, getting ice cream almost daily. The pool was great. We can't wait until next year.

A very comfortable stay

We have stayed a number of times and have always had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. The bed in the master bedroom is still very comfortable, and we rest well in it every time. The golf cart is very convenient to hop in and have a quick ride to the beach. The turtles are still fun to watch and feed at times. The house is pretty well maintained and provides a comfortable experience for each visit. Steve and Kathy are the easiest to book with from the beginning to the end.

Just some 45 year old high school friends celebrating their birthday

We had an absolutely amazing time relaxing and hanging out in the local bars. There is quite a bit to do that is close enough to jump on the golf cart or walk to. We loved how close it was to the beach. We also enjoyed the turtles in the pond and the cute little lizards in the bushes! There is no shortage of seating and the house was fairly sound proof. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic Home

It was our first time visiting Myrtle Beach and we weren’t sure how our vacation would go. We absolutely loved the house… great location and the house is exactly how it’s described on the website. Literally a five minute walk to a beautiful beach. Having a golf cart was an added plus. Kathy is an amazing host and does whatever she can to ensure your time in her beautiful home is a pleasant and enjoyable one. Highly recommend staying here!

Relaxing family vacation

We have enjoyed this house for several years. Each year there are improvements that make it better (like new floors, updated shelving, etc.). We love the easy access to the beach, fishing off the deck, swimming in the pool, and using the golf cart. The house is extremely clean and has lots of things you might need like masking tape or salt and pepper! Steve and Kathy are responsive and helpful. I highly recommend staying at By the Pond!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy & Steve

Host profile image

We are a family of 5 who love our homes in Surfside Beach SC, “The Family Beach”. Throughout the years we vacationed at many different places along the coast of North and South Carolina.

When we stayed at Surfside Beach, we knew this was the place we wanted to purchase a home at. It has so much more to offer than the other coastal areas we visited previously- it is a small family-oriented town only 2 miles long, that is clean, safe, and close to all the activities of the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand, and is golf cart and pedestrian friendly so you can leave the car parked and just enjoy family time.

When we were younger, we stayed at many places, but they always seemed to let us down- issues with cleanliness, location, amenities, etc. We decided if we were ever fortunate enough to own a beach home that we, or people who visited our home, would never experience these issues. We offer everything possible at our homes. We handle all rentals on our own, being most rental companies are concerned with profit above guest satisfaction. We do everything possible to ensure a 5 star stay for our guests who often become friends over the years, and even have a local contact, who is a friend of ours, to help handle any unforeseen issues that one may incur during their stay.

We try to make sure our homes have everything that you would have at your personal home like a well-stocked kitchen and laundry, plus nice amenities while on vacation like private pools, hammocks, linens and house towels, beach toys and chairs, ping pong, and some of the homes also have elevators, and included golf carts. On top of all of that our places are clean, and none of them are very far from the beach, or shopping, restaurants, and attractions.

We look forward to having the opportunity to be your hosts!

Why they chose this property

Best location in Myrtle Beach area. Family friendly with little noise and traffic, but convenient to everything. Our home is on one of the nicest lots in Surfside Beach near the ocean. We also have a golf cart available for our guests along with our nice private swimming pool.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful setting with water view of pond and close to the ocean. Enjoy watching wildlife and turtles in the pond. Park located across the water from the home offering slides, children play items, park benches,horseshoes, and boccie ball. Home also has numerous decks to sit on and relax. Interior of home is all one level with a calming, nicely decorated atmosphere. Built as a home for us to enjoy, not for being a rental property.
