PRIVATE POOL
Pool heat is available for $550 + tax (April 1-May 31, September 1-October 31), only if temperatures are above 60°F even at night

PRIVATE SPA
This is an open-air spa, not an enclosed hot tub. Complimentary spa heat is provided year round however, because it is open-air, the desired water temperature may not always be achievable when outdoor temperatures—day and night—are below 60°F. Spa heat is most effective during mild or warmer weather conditions.

Pool & Spa Heat Disclaimer
This home offers pool heat as an optional add-on for an additional fee. While we do our best to ensure all amenities are working properly, heat cannot be guaranteed. For the spa, this is not a stand-alone hot tub—it is part of the open-air pool system and may be affected by weather or unexpected equipment issues. If heat is not functional during your stay, we will refund the heat fee only. No additional discounts will be given.

    We enjoyed our stay and wanted to rent for next yr , that was a terrible experience … we were quoted a price and i asked for the contract … they changed the price sighting the owners ( who own the property management Bask Away) had increased the price because of market analysis … thankful we found a beach front five star house that will accommodate our large family group in 2026

    Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a wonderful home with great amenities. The location is great with minimal traffic. The home was clean and very spacious for our group of 21. The beds were very comfortable and everyone appreciated having their own bathroom. Beach access was just a few steps away across the street. We greatly enjoyed the pool, hot tub and playing pickleball. Unfortunately, we requested that the pickleball net be up when we arrived on Saturday but it wasn't. After multiple calls and messages with no response the net was dropped off in the middle of the court on Sunday afternoon and we had to put it up ourselves. On Monday maintenance showed up to put the net up but it was too late. We rented a golf cart but no one told us where the keys were and no one responded util late Sunday afternoon to tell us where the keys were. This was frustrating and created stress for our trip. We were not able to play pickleball or use the golf cart until late on Sunday. Aside from the lack of communication and the issues with the golf cart and pickleball net we really enjoyed the house. We had a great experience with booking the home, check in and check out. It would have been nice if there was a bathroom at the pool instead of having to go up to the next level but we made it work. I would highly recommend an alternative method to reach someone that could quickly resolve any issues. The texting option and email failed to provide a response. Regardless, I would recommend this wonderful vacation home. I just hope management will take action to prevent this from happening to others in the future. A follow up call would have been appreciated to see if everything was resolved.

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had problems with the Wi-Fi which took a few days to get fixed. We were unable to get the fireplace inside the house working but it was not a deal breaker.The only thing that really needs to be added to this property would be a 1/2 bath at the pool and a sink at the bar. We were very suprised that these two minor investments had not been made for a property this vast. It was REALLY inconvenient to have to go up a flight of stairs everytime we needed to use the restroom or wash/rinse something out from the bar area.

    The beach house is in an excellent location. It is very close to the beach with the access point being almost directly across the street. The house had a great setup and my whole family felt comfortable during our stay. Most of us felt the beds were very comfortable. One person in our party of 10 thought they were too soft. The outdoor amenities were some of the best I’ve seen. We loved the pool, hot tub, outdoor television, outdoor shower, putting green and basketball hoop. I thought there was some room for improvement when it came to cleanliness. The floors especially seemed like they could have been cleaner. Unfortunately I felt like I spent a lot of time at the beginning of the week reaching out about a variety of issues we were having with the rental. When we arrived the hot water was not working in half the bedrooms, both keurigs weren’t working and the peloton that was advertised didn’t have the cords to allow it to work. They did fix the hot water on Sunday but it sounded like it was a temporary fix that would need a permanent solution. The keurigs were eventually replaced. The issue with the peloton was never rectified. Several of us noticed bugs in the house and at least 3 palmetto bugs were found inside. Not the end of the world but I’ve been staying in Myrtle beach for several years and this was the first time I’ve seen a palmetto bug inside. Overall we had a nice time and give this house high marks for the location and outdoor amenities.

    Beautiful home. Great location. Wonderful amenities. Had a great family vacation with 10 adults and 8 children. We’re a sports family and besides the beach and pool, we had great fun with 3 generations playing pickleball, ping pong, and mini golf.
