Steps to Surfside Beach, and Pier! Private Home! Private Pool.
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 $60.00 (2026) 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 works from home. 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 queen 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. Just read our reviews, and see if you like our place.

This was a great house to stay in for a couple of months. Loved the location and access to all the local amenities. We will be back next year for the winter.

Thank you so much. It was a pleasure having you. Any fish caught?
We loved the location so close to the beach. Also very pet friendly. Our dog Delaney really enjoyed her vacation. Very happy with the spacious 5 bedroom 5 bath house. Owners were very responsive
Great property! Our family of four adults plus one pet had a lovely and relaxing time. We especially oved the proximity to the beach and Pier. The home was clean and spacious and had everything we needed, including beach chairs and towels. We enjoyed local restaurants and an arts festival nearby. Would highly recommend and would live to stay again in the future.
This was our second year staying at this house. Everything was great as expected from last year. Will be staying again next year. House is well kept and location is perfect, short walk to beach and restaurants.
Enjoyed the close access to beach, as well as the dog friendly home. Plenty of room to spread out or enjoy a group dinner. Pool was regularly maintained.
The house is in a great location and is a very comfortable place for a big family to stay at. If traveling to the area again, this will definitely be my first choice
Had a wonderful stay. Location is perfect, short walk to beach and restaurants. House was well stocked and clean. Going to book again next year.

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, the 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.
