Great Spring Break 2023

I brought my teenage sons to the Happy Heron for their Spring Break and we had a wonderful stay. The home was very inviting with every amenity listed on the website and more! A very short walk to the beach and within a short drive to Myrtle Beach and Murrell's Inlet, both of which have lots of great restaurants and shopping areas. 100% would recommend to anyone considering a stay at Surfside Beach, SC.

Best family vacation ever

We have rented many vacation homes in the past. The Happy Heron was the best location for our family vacation. So close to everything. The house was perfect for our large family. Kathy and Steve called as soon as we arrived to make sure that everything was as we expected. Every room was filled with all the little things that made you feel right at home. They even updated us throughout the week on activities that were happening around us that we might like to attend. The kids cried when we had to leave. We can’t wait to stay here again. Thank You Kathy and Steve.

great location & home layout.

House is an ideal location. Easy access to beach, walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants. House was clean and layout worked perfect for our families. Communication was good and when issues arose the property manager was quick to respond. Only issue we had was a listing for a grill - only to find there was no grill for our use. Overall great vacation, home, & manager.

Happy Heron

Beautiful home! The fourth floor was a hit with my grandchildren. The elevator even though it was slow and hard to get out of sometimes we figured that part out midweek that everyone wasn’t being patient enough before opening the door😊was very useful especially for my 93 year old dad. The golf cart was great to have to run to a restaurant or the gift shop and take my dad to the beach. The pool was definitely an added bonus.

Annual Family Vacation

We are a family of 16, so finding a home within a reasonable budget is very hard to do, until now! This house exceeded our expectations. Having a place for all the adults to have their own rooms and the large room upstairs that could sleep 8 worked out great for the kids to have their own space with games and tv was the best we’ve ever found. The view Is great! The walk to the beach was very close. Lots of seating for family dinners. Each one of the families were very happy with this house and would love to return. It is well maintained and very clean. Owners were very quick to respond and have anything that we needed, taken care of promptly. Very nice people to rent from. We are all looking forward to returning next year.

Annual Beach Trip

If you are going to surfside and need....lots of rooms...right at the beach....with a pool....in walking distance to great restaurants....look no further! We have stayed on the beach in surside and garden city for years. This house, while not right on the beach, might as well be! You can see from the pictures the great balcony views (on three levels!) to the ocean. We rented chairs and umbrellas from a local vendor, so our walk to them from the house was about 2 minutes! You can easily go back and forth to the house from the beach, so you don't have to travel down with a bunch of stuff. The house is fantastic for large groups. The upper floor took care of 6 17/18 year old boys, the middle floor was the hang out area and took care of one couple, then the bottom floor is all bedrooms and easily took care of the rest of us. The pool is awesome for just lounging around and cooling off in the heat. The owners/hosts were very easy to communicate with and they have taken care of everything. We used the grill several times and cooked and the two fridges was a nice touch, so we had plenty of room for all of our drinks and food. Again, we've stayed many years in the area and this is one of our favorites for sure! Just book it, you won't regret it at all.

The hospitality and attentiveness from the property owner was outstanding!

This beautiful vacation home was exactly as described in the listing and brought our family wonderful vacation memories! Clean, spacious, convenient elevator along with a golf cart that allowed handicap access for our families needs. The pool was perfect and private! The owners provided so many extras, it was exceptional! I brought things from my kitchen thinking that I would need them, but the kitchen was better equipped than I could even imagined! We all enjoyed going to the beach! It was just steps away and easy carry chairs, toys and much more beach items were provided! We slept great every night; the beds were so comfortable and we are used to a great mattress and very picky! It was a little rainy during our stay but we still had a great time, our group played ping pong with the provided ping pong table. The hospitality and attentiveness from the property owner was outstanding! Our family thanks your family for providing such a beautiful home and wonderful vacation experience! We all look forward to coming back soon!

Spring Break Fun

Perfect beach house with an ocean view, for multiple families with children, and just steps away from the beach. Very spacious, clean and nicely decorated home, especially the bed and bath rooms. Plenty of room and privacy for our group. The elevator was very helpful for my 82 year old mother, and came in handy for luggage and groceries. Very convenient location right by all the cute Surfside restaurants and the town’s convenience store. The pool area was great! We grilled out one night and enjoyed a night swim. The kids loved to lay in the hammock and play ping pong. Of course the golf cart was a huge hit. Makes getting around super easy. We loved this area and the beach was so beautiful. The beach house had beach chairs to use and a nice outdoor shower to wash all the sand off. Ideal location for a relaxing weekend at the beach! We spent a lot of time on the balconies taking in the view. Fun photo opp. too. My mom would read everyday on the balcony and enjoy the sun. It was a peaceful trip with lots to do. We will definitely be back to visit. The hosts were very helpful and we enjoyed renting from them both. Again, it was a perfect week in the sun! And we definitely enjoyed relaxing in this amazing beach house! Thank you for helping make SB 2023 a very memorable one! We will definitely be back! Loved this beach house and location!!

Really enjoyed staying at Happy Heron this past week as it had everything we were looking for, elevator, full kitchen, comfortable beds and close to ocean and private pool.

This was our first time staying at Surfside Beach and Happy Heron was the perfect place for our family of 18. The house was beautiful and close to the ocean. We really appreciated the elevator, full kitchen, and private pool. The beds were comfortable and already made when we arrived (something that isn’t usually done). The owner was gracious and accommodating in that he texted to make sure everything was okay on our arrival. Housekeeping even came by to see if there was anything we needed to make our stay better. A golf cart was provided if we wanted to use it to get around town as well as beach chairs/ toys. On a scale of 1 to 10 this place is a 10!
