Great Stay in Surfside!

The house is beautiful, has a great layout with plenty of space to gather, but plenty of privacy as well. You will find everything you need and a perfect beach access right across the street! The host was very accessible and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend and love to return when we are in the area again!

Wonderful family vacation spot

This home was perfect for our family of 22. Teens and young adults loved the location within walking distance to the beach, the Surfside pier and Myrtle beach. Nice size fully equipped kitchen. Easy access for wheelchair bound spouse. This is our second time at this home and we hope to return!

The House of the Rising Son was fabulous!

We gathered with our family of 16 people including adults, teenagers, children and infants in mid October 2024. We had a fabulous time together. The home was so comfortable and spacious. Each family grouping had their own bedroom and bathroom. There was a huge dining table that fit us all sitting together and plenty of room in the kitchen for cooking meals together. There were plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking and eating meals. The living areas was also soo spacious and fit us all comfortably. The beds were comfortable. The views of the ocean and sunrises were amazing from the decks and it was a short walk across the street to the ocean!! The ocean was soo beautiful and we loved playing with all of our family there!! We also enjoyed swimming in the heated pool. Sherrie was a terrific host answering questions and helping us and was so kind. We loved our time together with our family in this home. We will definitely come back! I can’t say enough good about our experience here. We all kept saying about the house and its location - this is perfect!! Thank you Sherrie for sharing your home with us!

Perfect house for a large group

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves despite a week of rain. We loved the long dining table that fit our entire group, and the open-concept living/dining/kitchen area. The coffee table with little benches was perfect for jigsaw puzzles. We appreciated the elevator for our older family members and the extra twin with a trundle in the 2nd floor master bedroom for the little ones who woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to sleep with mom & dad. The kids spent as much time as possible in the pool. Our host was super helpful, responding right away when we had trouble operating the elevator and when some water got into the house through the balcony doors. There are a lot of fun indoor activities in the area - bowling, escape rooms, roller skating, etc. - that we took advantage of during the tropical storm. The house is just across the street from the beach, so when we did get breaks in the storm, we were able to spend a little time on the beach as well.

Wonderful family vacation!!

This was one of the best houses that we have vacationed in. We had a large group with us and the bathrooms and bedrooms worked out perfectly. We loved the location& having a pool is always an extra bonus. Walking across the street to the beach was great. The only complaint we had was that there weren’t enough towels. I spoke to the owner and she said she was going to take care of that problem. The owner was always very accommodating and took care of any problems we had immediately. I would highly recommend this house and hopefully we can stay here again sometime in the future.

Family vacation

Our group of 16 family members from DE, GA, OR, RI, DC had a wonderful time in this awesome beach house. It lived up to the previous rave reviews and exceeded our expectations. Clean, spacious, well laid out, very short walk to the beach, nice pool, responsive owner/manager (but we had no problems), nice quiet neighborhood. We especially enjoyed eating dinners together prepared in the well equipped kitchen. Loved the long table. Thank you!

Convenient Location and Nice Home

Great location with easy access to the beach. Home was as pictured and described and seemed well maintained. Kitchen had ample items for home cooking. Ice maker in freezer was a little underperforming. Having a second full size refrigerator and dedicated ice maker would have been useful. Outdoor private pool was nice, but lacks a shaded area option in the pool area.

Why they chose this property

There aren’t any high rises, so that is a plus for views and lower crowds. The house is in walking distance to the beautiful Surfside Pier and several restaurants.
