The property was beautiful and extremely clean with plush towels and linens. The kitchen had good pots and pans, several games to play, and books to read. The bedrooms are spacious. The view was amazing from both decks. You could even enjoy the view from 3 of the bedrooms private balcony’s. We will definitely stay again in the future!

We LOVED our stay and would absolutely book this home again. It was the perfect get away. The house was clean and cozy. Like others have mentioned, there was an odor to the water- but I noticed after it ran a little it wasn’t as noticeable. The second deck was an awesome place to hang out and having the kitchen and bathroom there was very convenient. We spent most of our time on the upper deck enjoying the view and the ocean breeze. It was also extremely close to the jetty beach. 2 min drive and maybe a 5-8 min walk. Highly recommend booking it!!!

We stayed for 4 days, with our family of 10. Including children. This home was very inconvenient due to, home being on 3rd floor, dryer didn't work, and actual beach is 3 min drive or 20 minutes walk. Fire alarm went off randomly in the morning. The biggest issue was the water from tap. It smelled so bad. When I told the host, they said this is city water and there is nothing that can be done about it. The smell was so bad it made the entire house smell bad. We couldn't even shower in it. You can not cook or drink the tap water. The house comes with a RO filter water spout, but that water only dispenses 5-8 oz per 30 mins. Which for a family of 10 trying to make tea or cook dinner is very frustrating.

Hello Sidrah, it sounds like you were just unhappy with your choice in locations, eg Surfside Beach vs this home itself which is too bad. This is a beautiful home located right by the beach and water (3 min walk not 20 min?), as you can see in the photos. All homes in this area are on stilts and is clearly shown in this home's listing photos, so we're not sure how this was a surprise. As for the Village of Surfside's island water, it is known to be off poor quality and communicated proactively. We, nor the owner of this home, control city utilities. However, this home's owner has put in an RO drinking water system, as you know, for the very purpose of cooking and drinking things like tea. We are not aware of it operating slowly, but we will certainly check it out. We're sorry you didn't enjoy your selected destination more, and it's a real shame you couldn't find anything nice to say about this truly lovely well-maintained home nor the Surfside Beach area and amenities.

Beautiful home close enough to the beach to be able to enjoy the view and the sound of the waves. Definitely recommend it! FYI: For someone who has never stayed in a beach house on stilts (like us), be warned that the house will shake/ sway when it’s windy.

Thank you for the 5-stars, compliments, and tips for future guests Esmeralda! We're delighted your experience was an enjoyable seaside one! Yes, homes on stilts like ours are intended to sway when the winds do their thing. Some say it rocks them to sleep. :). We hope you visit again, as you were lovely guests to host!

This is an awesome house. The beds were amazing, there were plenty of restrooms, and we loved the spacious living area. We enjoyed the party deck with it's own rr an kitchenette. We had a wonderful stay!

The house was fabulous. Plenty of room for everyone. We cooked all our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was a bit disappointing as we had to walk a good distance to the beach. We ended up purchasing a 30 pass so we could drive and park. We eventually figured out we could access the beach across the street at low tide. Overall we had a blessed time.

Amazing views from the upper deck at the house level. The large middle deck is perfect to escape the sun or rain and you can see all directions. Very nice clean house with an open living room you can see the ocean from the couch. Would definitely recommend the house to others.

What a great five days! Several months back we booked this wonderful home in Freeport with wonderful ocean views. 979 Vacation Property Services helped with installment of payments and a very thorough and easily understood list of instructions to make arrival a breeze! Spacious rooms and plenty of bathrooms on the top floor. The 2nd floor was a massive deck with cornhole to play and an enclosed kitchen with a refrigerator and another bathroom. There was a shower on the ground floor and another storage area for all our beach gear. There were six adults and three children and every day was a special family adventure. My thanks to 979 Vacations for wonderful memories made! Mike S.
