An original Surfside Tradition!

Originally located on the pedestrian beach Gables has been hosting family vacations since 1962. After a storm the family relocated the home to the middle beach area a few years ago and at that time decided to add an extra bedroom and restroom to the downstairs and remodel the home. Gables is a home everyone on the island knows and recognizes. Owned by a lovely family who cherishes it and enjoys knowing that it means so much to so many. Sharing their beautiful home makes it that much more special. * LIFE - Enjoy the journey and soak up some sun! *

Gables is an impressive property that is very well loved and taken care of. The property is a 4 bedroom / 2.5 bath along with a loft area with a partially private area and a restroom.

The loft has separate sleeping areas that are open but semi-private at the same time. For entertainment there is a TV area.

The 4 bedrooms on the main level each have a King or a Queen size bed. Beautifully situated on the Middle Beach area of Surfside Beach. The yard around the Gables is perfect for the entertaining, kids to play, BBQing, etc... and access to the water is so easy, just a few short steps from grass to sand. You and your family and/or friends will leave this house wishing you could have stayed longer. This property books almost a year in advance so please let us know as soon as possible what dates you are interested in.

We now offer optional linen service to fit your needs and budget:

• Bring Your Own Linens (sheets, bath towels, kitchen towels) to save on costs. If you would like to bring your own linens ask us to remove the cost which is included in the cleaning fee.

    For as much as I was charged the place could have been cleaner. There was a beer can under one of the beds. Under the couch cushions are nasty. One of the faucets cut a family member. A few lights were burnt out and I was told to find light bulbs in the cupboard and change them. There was not the light bulbs that we needed plus you needed a ladder to get to them. I asked for them to be changed, no one came out. The dryer vent was broke and someone did come out the last day we were there to fix that. I asked the maintenance man if he was going to change the light bulbs and he said no. The shower curtains had mold on them. There was no clicker for the one bedroom and we were told to use an app. Things should have been taken care of properly before someone comes to stay at the rental and then charge the price they did. Being on the beach was nice and we did have a place to lay our heads. We made do and as a family had fun.

    We absolutely loved the location—just steps from the best part of the beach and very close to the Yucca Beach access. That convenience was the highlight of our stay.The house itself is in poor condition and overdue for serious updates. I rely heavily on reviews when booking, and I wish previous reviews had been more honest. It’s clear the owners haven’t invested in maintaining the property in quite some time.One of the most concerning issues was the water. It came out yellow—almost brown at times—which made us hesitant to use it for anything beyond flushing or quick rinses. The A/C also struggled. Even after the sun went down, it was still 77 degrees inside, and our bedroom never cooled off throughout the night. There are safety issues as well. A loose floor vent near the door was a serious hazard—thankfully, we were watching when our little one tried to pick it up. There's also a badly damaged section of flooring by the back door where the vinyl is chipped away, loosely covered by a rug. The lighting throughout the home is very dim, and the ceiling fans are loud and unstable.On the positive side, the kitchen was impressively well stocked. However, the towels were worn out; I’d recommend bringing your own, especially hand towels for the bathroom. This place clearly had charm in its heyday, but it’s lost that now. I'd love to return for the amazing location, but I’d be very hesitant to rebook unless the owners put real effort into repairs and improvements.

    While this house did not work out for our trip, we had an awesome experience with Denise. She went above and beyond at 3am to get us into a house that was best for our trip. Denise deserves an award for her wiliness and kindness to us. There were 15 of us total, included 2 babies and 3 kids under 5. She was our vacation saver, and we will forever be grateful to her!! Denise you rock! Thank you

    Property is a little long in the tooth for a repeat stay... the oven knob numbers were faded off, makes for a hard time cooking ... and the dishwasher was not attached to the counter, it kept falling forwards when loading and the internet is not hooked up to the TV’s.....that kinds sums it up

    I’ve stayed at The Gables several times before with my parents and family. My Mom passed away last February so it was bittersweet for me. She loved the beach and having all her family there. Great location and loved the new additions. The front of the house didn’t cool as well but that is expected in this heat! We did get a call the day before we left saying someone said we had a dog with us. No animals with us, just our kiddos. We enjoyed our stay!

    It was rented for out of town family for a weekend. With all the wedding activities and only an hour early check in it made it hard to enjoy

    The location of the property is great. It’s right on the beach and easy access. The kitchen dishes and utensils options were the best I have seen at any vrbo I have stayed at. The beds are comfortable and the linens were nice. We loved the house and location, the problem was the very dirty shower curtains, the food chunks and dirt under the trash can and in the kitchen drawers, the spots and stains on the carpet and the large amount of sugar ants that ended up getting into and eating some of our food. The shower curtains were so bad we just bought new ones at Walmart and changed them all out ourselves. We killed as many of the ants as we could but I have had them In other rentals at the beach and I think it just goes with the territory. We were kind of panicked when we arrived and the house was over 80 degrees but I was able to feel the air coming out was cold it was just that it had been turned off between renters and in the middle of summer took all day and night to cool the house off. By the next morning it was fine and the house was cooled down and pleasant. Overall a great stay and we would stay with them again.
