Southern Bella Retreat

I don't think you really want my review. Everything was just okay. It was clean enough and we loved the location. If any other vacation rental we have ever had by the beach supplied beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and more. Basics like paper towels and toilet paper. It was just okay. We loved the porch and the location but the house itself lacked in a lot of basic items that most people would want

It is a PERFECT beach house!! Plenty of room for our big family! Just walking to the beach with kids is so helpful!!!! So fun!

We booked this house for our family trip. It was very clean and well kept and had that Coastal Charm we were looking for. Check in and checking out were a breeze. The bedrooms were very roomy and clean with plenty of places to put luggage and bags. The huge porch was our favorite hangout as we had a rocker for every person. Only a few steps to the beach it was quiet and peaceful and each day only had a small handful of people which we really enjoyed. All the crowds were down where the hotels were. Perfectly located going out for a meal or to grocery shop everything was a very short drive away. We enjoyed everything so much we look forward to booking the house again next year!

The beach view was exactly what we were looking for in this vacation. The property was a few steps from the beach and the sunrises were spectacular. The property had more than enough space for our group. The only draw back was the fight over the bedroom with the bathroom within our group. We would highly recommend this property for a vacation with extended family. The kitchen had anything you might need and plenty of room to cook. The porch is a slice of heaven on earth. We even saw dolphins while relaxing on the rocking chairs.

Ocean views from front porch make this property worth it in every way. The house is old, the bathrooms tiny and could use a little work but there were plenty of beds and enough room for us all to have a fabulous vacation! Kitchen was A and plenty of space to relax and enjoy. Walk directly to beach! Blinds in the rooms didnt work and lighting everywhere took a few minutes to figure out, but the small problems/ things were small. I recommend this home to anyone who wants beachfront and space to enjoy!

Older but great beach house that was PERFECT having a family of some who wanted to watch the beach and some who wanted to go to the beach. Loved that they allowed pets and had a small yard. Front porch was so peaceful. Kitchen was nice. Plenty of bedroom. Worked well for extended family meeting up. Loved the huge couch and large dining table for hanging out.

The property was very charming, the front porch and proximity to the beach is a definite plus. There is also a nice flat yard if you are bringing pets.The bathrooms are small and slightly dated, but functional. One drawback of the property is that the public beach access is located right next to the property, so it can be loud and congested. The house also only had two beach chairs ( which are actually lawn chairs) and only one is useable.We would have rated this property higher as the real problem was Vacasa, which is the management company. We had multiple issues from leaks, to broken windows, and a front door lock system that did not work the last two days of our stay. We reported every issue and were told by Vacasa that someone would call or show up to address them. No one ever did. I called and asked to speak to management about these issues - twice. Twice my name was taken and I was told someone would contact me. We are now two weeks past the end of our stay and we still have not received a single call.Things go wrong, which is understandable; however the level of guest service that Vacasa provided is unacceptable.I would not recommend using them.

The house is nice and the beach view is perfect and the beds are very comfortable.But I'm not sure if its the owner of the property that live in the back of the house it was just strange we felt watched the whole time other that than the stay was good.

Old fashioned knotty pine paneled oceanfront beach house with the perfect porch including 6 rocking chairs and a hammock. No hotels close by so beach not crowded. The porch was our favorite spot when not on the beach up until bedtime. Updated kitchen great for preparing your meals. Plenty of flatware, dishes and glassware for your crowd. Great sectional for lounging if you give up your rocker. If you’re planning on doing much cooking take a sharp knife and bakeware to accommodate your recipes. We hope to return.

We loved this home and the location can’t be beat. It’s a relatively quiet spot with a prime beach location always available. There is plenty of space in the home which easily accommodated our family of 14. The porch was a highlight of the home. Always a great place to view the ocean. We would not hesitate to book this home in the future.

We had a blast at this home and highly recommend it. The location is fantastic, with easy access to the beach. We will look to return as soon as possible.

This house was perfect for our family of 7 with grandparents. The downstairs bedroom was great for them and the rest of us used the bedrooms upstairs. The house gave us plenty of room to spread out and the big table allowed us to have family dinners and play games at night. The home is older, but it was still cozy. And the rockers and hammock on the porch were definitely used everyday! The location of the house can't be beat. Yes, it is connected to the public beach access, but it still wasn't busy during the day. The section of Myrtle Beach that this house is located in was also never real busy. The road in front of the house never had traffic and the main Hwy 17 road was never busy in this area either. It was about a mile of nothing but residential homes, so it was quite and calm. We had an ant issue the second day we were there, but the owners were quick to take care of it as well as helping us figure out how to connect to the wifi since it wasn't working when we first got there. This is definitely somewhere we would stay again. We were already trying to figure out when we could come back while we were down there!

The location of this house and the view from the porch makes it worth it. We had several issues with the appliances and one of the bathrooms. I honestly think some upgrades in the house would make it an absolutely amazing place to stay!

The house is literally sitting right on the beach. We loved the home. Even though it was a large house, it was super cozy. The front porch is awesome, and it has a brand new renovated kitchen that was well stocked. We would definitely recommend. We are planning to book it again for next year.

Wonderful home! Clean and perfect location! Would love to stay again! Plenty of room for everyone. The home had everything we needed and plenty of beach toys and chairs. Loved sitting in the rocking chairs and seeing the ocean view. Thanks!

This was a great place to stay! Enough room for our family. It was very clean and comfortable. We are hoping to stay again!

Front porch walks out onto the beach, quick walk to many dining options and a short drive to endless golf courses. Older beach home with its perks and drawbacks. Was great for the guys annual golf trip, but not the most modern place if amenities are your priority.

An amazing property absolutely amazing. It’s dated But if you are really in the market for a wonderful property on the beach with which you can go many different ways, this is the place

Loved the location the house has charm and plenty of room for extended family

This property worked out well for our long golf weekend. Porch was a great space but the light outside kept flickering off and on. Ended up moving an inside lamp to a window to illuminate the outside. Inside was cozy and reminiscent of a hunting lodge. If you're looking for modern this is not for you. House was clean but outdated as you can probably see from pictures. One of the bathroom doors was falling apart but it didn't ruin our stay. Indoor space was plentiful for a group hang after a long day on the course. Kitchen needs additional pots and pans. Being on the water, the indoor great room, and the porch is what makes this house.

Our family loved it so much. Even though its an older home its well kept up and its like home away from home. Its very spacious and nice. We had a really good time and would recommend to everyone.

We golfed, driankand ate like it was our job

Great and convenient location on the beach for a comfortable family get away. Bathrooms and shower areas need refurbished. Beds and rooms are ok. Outdoor rockers are great. Adjacent to public access so it stays noisy into the night.

The house, location, accommadations and the closeness to the ocean/beach was awesome. Ideal for a family vacation.
