FRONT ROW SEATS TO THE GULF OF AMERICA! There's No Better View TOTAL RENOVATION

This OCEAN FRONT 2-story home has extraordinary views of Surfside Beach and the Gulf of Mexico! Take it all in from your FRONT ROW seats to witness the beautiful blue skies, tempting ocean water and sandy beach. Our property is truly in the best location you could hope for at Surfside Beach. Our beach house has everything you need for a perfect vacation or week-end getaway!

Linger in the living room with magnificent 180 degree views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Step onto the 20 x 30 foot deck to lounge, nap, sit and sip and visit with friends and family.

From here, you can watch your kids frolick at the beach with peace of mind they are mere steps away from you while you kick back on the deck. Our deck is a "shore" thang and will not disappoint with its vast size and amazing view.

Napping is highly encouraged and sometimes unavoidable!

Sit back and take in God's glory year-round where you may be teased by uninhibited hummingbirds and huge pelicans that seem to always hover just overhead.

After indulging your lazy self in the hammock, stroll down your very own private bridge that leads directly to the ocean. Go on---dip your toes in or go all the way!

Surfside is home to some of the best surf fishing, beach combing, shelling, boating and swimming. If that sounds too exhausting then hang out on the deck, under the deck or kick back at the beach.

This home offers you a warm inviting and comfortable oasis, whether you are seeking an adult get-away or a family-oriented escape. Everything you need to make your vacation memories is waiting for you at Gulf Coast Sanity!

Our highest aim is to ensure that your stay exceeds your expectations. Your comfort and satisfaction is our ultimate goal. We go the distance to make sure everything is convenient, accommodating, relaxing and full of fond memories!

To accommodate you and your family, the house has TVs (with Roku) and DVD players in each room and high speed wireless internet. Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for cooking and dining. Accessories also include blender, grilling tools, Keurig coffee maker and regular Mr. Coffee coffee maker.

The property is fenced and the deck includes 2 latched gates for added security and safety of your little ones.

All linens, towels and bedding are included in each room. You will need to provide your own beach towels and beach chairs, as we do not allow ours to leave the property or be taken to the beach.

While some of the items listed below may be available for your use, you should plan to bring the following: charcoal, lighter fluid, umbrellas, beach chairs, tents, mosquito spray for yourself and even the yard, beach toys, beach towels, bottled water (don't drink the water!), soap, shampoo and conditioner, paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, toothepaste, washing detergent (if more is needed), and flashlights.

Great location

Our only complaint is the mattress need to be updated, and the bedroom to thr left downstairs needs curtains, when the motion light comes on it shines into the room. We really enjoyed the house and its location.

Perfect beach getaway

This house was right on the beach. Easy walk from the back porch down a decked pathway. We used our wagon to take our chairs and umbrella to the beach. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and very roomy. We loved having our morning coffee on the porch over looking the waves. The owner left very detailed instructions. It was a perfect getaway.

Perfect for multi-family trips

The house has a great location close to restaurants and right on the beach. We took many walks up and down the beach and could watch the kids play from the deck. The rooms are laid out great for a group with more than one family. We had all we need to have a fantastic weekend.

Wonderful Beachfront Getaway

This house had plenty of room for 9 adults. We loved the proximity to the beach. We did have to go buy toilet paper, but it’s not the end of the world. Also, bring a mosquito repellent if you plan to be outdoors.

Family vacation

Great location, easy beach access. Plenty of room for my family (8 adults, 3 children). Big deck overlooking beach with latches on gates so 1 year old grandson could roam all he wanted. Only problem we had was the dishwasher didn’t do a good job of cleaning but we just hand washed everything wasn’t that big of deal would definitely rent again

The Palmores were pleased!!

We rented this beach house to stay in for the family reunion at Stahlman Park. The house was nice just as pictured. I loved the decor…. It was the smallest of things that I enjoyed like the glitter in the upstair bathroom walls. The kitchen had everything I needed to make my potato salad for the reunion. The distance to the beach was perfect!! If I could change anything about the house and location I wouldn’t!! The whole family was pleased. The owner personally reached out to us and gave us tips and gave us her number in case we needed her. We did not have to bother her because everything was perfect!!!

Great view and beach access

Very clean, well furnished and plenty of space. Weather was cold so we all mostly stayed inside. Storm blew off underside eve panel hitting one of the cars. Stairs are old and very slippery when wet. Overall, great stay. Would recommend a good power wash outside and ceiling under house.

Family/friends Beach Front Stay

Wonderful stay! We were four couples with children all under 4. The house was well equipped for kids, had a stocked kitchen, and was an easy few steps from the beach. It was everything we were looking for. A few things we especially appreciated: good outdoor shower/hosing setup, baby gate available in the house, charcoal grills outside, gated patio, outlet covers. A few minor things we noted: not much available cutlery (we’d brought our own plasticware so no affect on us), one room had an open area to downstairs (covered by shades) making it pretty loud for the baby there. Overall beautiful, clean house with everything we needed.

More positive than negative

Our family enjoyed our stay but a few things need repair and the outside siding needs washing. First floor bathtub faucet needs attention to work correctly. Stains on ceiling in the living room, and the front door is swollen and rubs. The decks were great with chairs to sit in to enjoy the view of the water. The air conditioning kept the house cold. Ample supply of kitchen dishes, pots and pans and utensils but the kitchen table was very sticky. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We would consider staying there again if these minor changes and repairs were made.
