About this property

Classy, Clean & Elegant Oceanfront 'Penthouse' ~


Surfside Beach, SC: Our beaches are wide & clean with plenty of open space. Cielo Vista's views are phenomenal without obstruction; sunrise, moonrise, dolphin watching & even rain storm enjoyment is all here. The all new, updated large glass doors & windows with personal, somewhat secluded balcony, create your own private observation space. Enjoy your coffee, tea, juice or martini (a little dirty, a little dry, shaken not stirred) in peace.

I have been with VRBO for 18+ years (when VRBO was truly Vacation Rentals By Owner) and dealt with my guests personally - I prefer it. (I have a 5BR home across the street, VRBO #315736). Crazy industry changes make it difficult to ensure you are getting a quality vacation home & I am hosting responsible adults - so inquire 1st. Don't let this site pressure you, ask me questions.
If you have a request - let me know.
If you need less than a week - ask.
If you have a reasonable offer - make it.
Let's return to customized service ~

Now, a little about my lovely 2BR, elegantly designed home for the upscale traveling adult; this home is designed for those looking to relax without the responsibility of parenting.
A freshly renovated, lovely 2 Bedroom, 2 bath oceanfront in the desirable north end of Surfside Beach, where density is low & permanent homes are refined and posh. The building hosts only 14 flats with no children in residence. Please note: this is a NO-SMOKING property. One no-shed, hypoallergenic canine, less 20lbs is welcome with prior consent. We are a 3rd floor walk-up flat.

You can also C us on Fcbk & Insta at La Vita Bella, Surfside Beach, SC for pics & plenty of details; Cielo Vista has her own photo album. My everyday, pay-the-bills job is Lexington Property Management of Greenwich NY. You can find me working most days, reach out if you prefer to chat in person. Just ask for Penny ;-)

Thank you for your respect.
