About this property
Steps to Surfside's Beach and Pier! Private Home! Private Pool. Optional heat!
Hello, welcome to Mandalay by the Sea! This raised beach home is perfect vacation rental for you and your friends and family.
The home’s rear gate gives is a quick walk to the towns’s beach access. This beach house is just steps to the family friendly, pristine beaches of Surfside on the Atlantic Ocean. It has covered porches on both the first, and second floors. On the ground floor, an outdoor table is covered from the sun.
Ground Floor
The ground floor has a professionally maintained private, in-ground pool. The pool can be optionally heated, around mid March through mid November, for an additional fee of $50.00 (2025) a night. It also features lounge chairs, and two dining tables. A Weber propane grill is provided for your use. There is a private outdoor shower to remove all that beach sand. At the home, there is private off street parking for five cars.
Main Level
The first floor consists of a well- equipped kitchen, and living room with comfortable seating. One of the sofas converts to a bed. There is a wide screen TV, and a wet bar with a wine cooler. There is a half bath next to the built in entertainment center. Further on the first floor, there is a washer and dryer behind privacy doors. There is one bedroom, with a private full bath, and queen bed. The first floor also consists of the covered deck, with partial ocean views.
Second Floor
The master bedroom is on the second floor. You will find a king bed, with a private covered balcony, with partial ocean views. A master bath awaits you, with a stand alone shower, and a separate jetted tub. As you walk to the other bedrooms, you will pass a desk, just in case one needs to sit and make dinner reservations. There is another bedroom with a queen bed, and private full bath. As you walk to the front of the home, you will pass a bedroom with one twin bed, and a set of bunk beds. This bedroom shares a jack and jill bathroom with another bedroom, that features a full bed.
Mandalay by the Sea is conveniently located near the attractions of Myrtle Beach, but offers the family friendly location of Surfside Beach. Walk to the beach, pier, farmer's market, and Sunday serenades at the park.
Freshly laundered linens and bath towels will be provided-at no extra charge- and the home will be cleaned by a professional couple. I have a long term relationship with them. You will be dealing with the owner directly, and we will ensure that your stay is enjoyable. You will not be treated as just a number, but as a guests.
The home does have two exterior ring cameras, that do not record when guests are present A blue tape will also cover the cameras, to ensure your privacy. The motion detection only light in the driveway is on, and it can be shut down if you request. There are no other types of recording devices in, or out of the home.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Cheryl Auletta

Hi I am Cheryl. I retired here to Surfside Beach, from NY. Prior to retiring, I purchased our primary residence here in Surfside, and rented it out, through one of the large realty companies down here. I was not happy with the service, and neither were some of home’s guests. They are good companies, but when you turn over 400 properties in a week, you can’t make everyone happy. So, once I moved down, I decided to invest in a home, manage it, and help travelers. I use VRBO for my own travels . So, it gives me a good feeling to help others make memories, and be nearby if needed.
Why they chose this property
Well, when I first saw the house, I said the house was in a great spot, and it was designed with a “Home” feel, not like a typical rental. Reminded me of all the wonderful VRBO homes I had when raising my kids. Surfside is a great beach town.
What makes this property unique
The Beach, pier, and restaurants are all a very short walk from this private home. Surfside is just a cool town. FYI we have nice friendly permanent neighbors on the block.. They too have rentals in town, so understand people are here to vacation.
