Beach house had all that we needed for our stay. Nothing fancy, had all the necessities. Short walk to the beach, short drive to the boardwalk.
Location was perfect and central to what we wanted to do. We had two boys with us and they loved the bunk beds. Truly a 5 minute walk to the beach. The check-in and out instructions were very detailed.
The home was clean and provided everything we needed. Thank you!
We loved your cottage. It had everything my family needed. Close to the pool just few steps away. Quite neighborhood. We enjoyed the peaceful walk to the beach. Would love to stay there again.
We had a wonderful time in Myrtle Beach. The location of this cute house is just 3 blocks from the beach and close to many stores and attractions. The owner was very responsive.

Quick back to school getaway. Close to beach (easily walkable – will need to cross one street with moderate traffic), great parking, spacious enough unit for our needs. Could improve shower heads and faucets in each bathroom which are a little rickety. Beds and pillows were not the most comfortable. Found one roach and a few other bugs lurking about. Be warned about fireworks popping at beach each night if you have small kids to put to bed. Otherwise it was fine.
We had a great time staying at cottage by the sea! Very quiet & cozy street close to the beach. Our daughters loved staying in the twin bedroom with their own bathroom. And my husband and I loved the king bed in the master. Super comfy couches in the living room. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! We hope to stay here again in the future!
This was a great property for our visit. The interior was very nicely done and met all of our expectations. Very clean. The location was great, the cottages are all well kept. It was quiet. The cottages are all very close together so you will get to know your neighbors! Looking forward to our next visit, we will definitely be looking to stay at this cottage!
We would def rent this cottage again
our family enjoyed our stay this week, hope to return one day. Except for fireworks, it was quiet and convenient located to the beach. Pool was closed due to recent storm, but found plenty to do at the beach! Thank you!

The host was awesome! Very easy to get in touch with. We didn’t have any issues the whole week we were there. We are already planning to rebook the house for next year!
We love this house
Everyone in the family enjoyed this perfectly located home to beach and pool.
We love this place. We first stayed here in 2007 & have been back several times over the years. We love how close it is to the pier (rebuild should be complete in spring of 2023). Close to Marsh Walk & all of the great dining. I hope to be back in a couple of years.
Easy access through keypad. Gorgeous oceanfront setting. Beautiful, comfortable home.Nearby restaurants, groceries, Brookgreen Gardensand everything on the Grand Strand.

everything was nice
Everything was as advertised. Great stay!
Our family had a great time at this house. The location is perfect, close to a lot of fun things. Nice to have a pool right outside your door and the beach within a few blocks.
Great house within an easy walk of the beach and boardwalk. Every Bedroom has its own bathroom which was a nice perk. Very clean property fully furnished with everything you need.
Stayed with a few lifelong friends. The home was in a nice location and had plenty of space for us all. Val was more than helpful throughout our trip. Communication was excellent and appreciated by us all.

Leading up to our stay the hosts Dwane & Jeanna were incredibly responsive in answering our questions. The property was extremely clean and in a great location. Would definitely stay at the Commanders Cottage again!
Great hosts/ accommodated us upon arriving earlier then anticipated house was very clean and comfortable
The property is very nice and the location was great. The only problem for us was that we had10 adults and only 3 children. The sleeping arrangement truly did not work for us, but the house is very nice and clean and well equipped. The owner was very responsive and check-in/out was easy.
This property was perfect for our family reunion. Extremely well stocked kitchen. Everything was very clean. The beach is close enough even for my 85 year old father to walk to comfortably and a pool is just across the street. I highly recommend this property and these very responsive owners.
This was a wonderful experience for our family. We had all age ranges staying just a few steps from the beach! The house was VERY CLEAN, well kept (we are very picky about cleanliness) with a lot of basic necessities with kitchen utensils, appliances, soap, etc. I know it seems small but those things make a huge difference when traveling with kids! The rooms were spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of room for us and we loved sitting on the balcony at night to enjoy the breeze. Unfortunately the pool was closed during our stay and there wasn’t much within walking distance but that had nothing to do with the house itself. Dwayne was incredibly responsive. Overall, I would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Mark’s property. It’s in a great location and with two young children (ages 4&1), the pool was perfect! Communicating with Mark was also super easy and he was very responsive to the few questions we had. The home is beautiful but needs a little TLC. A few refrigerator door shelves are broken, some drains were clogged/slow to drain, and home was surface clean but not deep cleaned feeling (dirty grout, hair in shower). This may because we were end of season, and I would certainly still recommend booking here.Note to families with little children – there’s a great high chair, so no need to bring! On a different note, kitchen had only one knife for cooking/food prep (there were silverware style knives), so may want to pack if you’re big on cooking in.
The residence looks exactly like the pictures. The host was wonderful, I can’t say enough. My stay was during Hurricane Ian but the house made me feel safe and comfortable. The host made sure we were safe and kept in touch. The neighborhood was beautiful, quiet, well-kept comfortable and close to EVERYTHING. I whole-heartedly recommend this unit and definitely plan on returning. My guests were pleased and happy with our stay as well. Kudos!! See you next time!
What a fantastic place. We were here celebrating birthdays and couldn’t have picked a better place. The house was perfect for all of us. Very comfortable and convenient to the resort area pools and an easy walk to the beach. Would rent again!!
What a wonderful property! This was our first family beach week; 6 of us, including a 3 yr old; house was perfect; we had plenty of private space and very comfortable common space. The private pool is delightful; the elevator was a godsend for someone awaiting hip surgery and the access to resort amenities makes you feel like you are actually part of a large resort. We are already planning next Summer’s visit. The owner, Mark, is terrific!
Clean and good location. Enjoyed it very much.

We loved the location and the beautiful old house! The house could use some upgrades. Some of the air vents were a little molded. But the nice maintenance man showed up right away and fixed things!
The kitchen is upstairs -grill was downstairs. Screened in porch upstairs-access to the beach thru the house downstairs. Tub with no shower and a broken unusable tub/shower upstairs.Two showers so small hard to shut the doors downstairs.To leave or enter you must use stairs. 1 person is amputee,2 people had knee and hip replacement &2 person with neck surgeries. This property was NOT handicap friendly and was a struggle to do anything.
We had a wonderful stay. Check in at Booe Reality was quick and easy. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. The beds were comfortable, and it was a short walk to the beach. We used the public beach access right beside the house rather than the path from the back yard just because it was so well done and easy to access and also had a sand shower. It would have been extremely helpful to have a refrigerator in the garage, especially with 16 guests in the house. It caused us to spend a lot on ice. A shower head in the Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs would also be a big plus. In reference to an earlier review-No bugs were seen anywhere. Overall, it was a lovely old beach home and accommodated our group well.
This property is only steps from the beach. The fishing is not very good but we enjoy walking on the beach & looking for sharks teeth. The sunroom is the best place to relax and enjoy the view. The TV service is not good. We can only watch one TV at a time. All in all, we have a good time and thought this property is very nice.
The location is absolutely perfect and beach access is just 2 mins walk. The major disappointment is the house where we found roaches , grubs and milipede’s.We had 3 infants and we were just scared and sleepless.we had to clean the beds every day and night to make sure nothing is in there. The bathrooms clogged/slow draining and had to wait for the flush to refill. Sure the reviews were great but it wasn’t the same at all. Cockroach feces were found in kitchen cabinets and we noticed the property is up for sale as well.

Great floorplan/layout for four couples. Oceanside porch and ocean view and access are wonderful.
We all loved this home. It was right on the beach. We enjoyed cooking together and eating out on the huge patio with the views of the ocean. We will be back next year
The house is absolutely beautiful. The layout of the house is perfect for privacy. There were 10 of us and we had plenty of room. The porch and backyard is perfect for sun rises over the ocean. Very short walk to the beach. The location is centrally located to everything. I’d definitely rent this cottage again.
As always, everything was picture perfect for our stay at Southern Grace. Although a year later than planned, this trip was amazing. Jeff is the absolute best and we always appreciate our stays at this beautiful property. Can’t wait until next time!
Wonderful house and a great location

When we arrived, we just accessed the property per the instructions we received in advance, and that was it. Very convenient to restaurants and shops and the property manager was friendly and available for anything we needed. There are several balconies where you can just sit and enjoy a gorgeous view of the beach, and floats and chairs if you want to spend the day out there. I would absolutely recommend this property!
We have stayed in Murrell Inlet many times. This is one of our favorite homes. They provided beach chairs and towels as well as all the basics. Karl is very responsive about every issue. He fixed a clogged drain while we were at diner. For just going through a hurricane the house was in good condition and we look forward to coming back.
Karl was a great host. When I say they have everything, I mean it! I’ve booked places that tell you they have stuff but then you get there and they don’t. They have beach towels and chairs. Everything to cook with even some spices. A cooler if you need one to keep beverages while at the beach, towels, etc. This house is located in a more residential area, but is 1/4 of a mile from shops and the pier. Bring your persons, clothes, food and enjoy a very relaxing stay at the beach!!I do want to add that their was fireworks set off every night aug 3-8. 44Just a small disclousre for anyone that has PTSD.
The property was perfect for our large family. Being on the beach was the best part. The house was exactly as the listing and Karl was so wonderful in making sure we had all that we needed. Highly recommend this property.
A perfect location for a family reunion. The house was very nice and exactly what we needed. Everything we needed was provided. And only steps from the beach. We will definitely be back again.

This property was a huge disappointment. While the location and beach were lovely, the house itself is in terrible repair. Relative to a price tag of over $20,000 for the week this is a 2 star property at best. There is wallpaper peeling off walls, door knobs missing, lights out, paint chipping everywhere, huge gashes in refrigerator, wood falling apart on windows, etc. Mattresses were terrible, particularly the king beds and pull out couches were unsleepable. Master bathroom peeling grout and paint. Showers have barely water pressure and don’t get very hot. Nearly every dish in the kitchen was dirty in the cabinets. Towels stained. Pillows stained terribly yellow which we did not even discover until we were checking out and removing the sheets to be washed. It is clear the bed spreads are not washed regularly, even per the check out instructions only the sheets are to be washed. Furniture is terribly outdated and cushions filthy. When we arrived the pool was green and cloudy (this was resolved after calling the property manager and having the pool company come backwash and shock). Only two of the king rooms are oceanfront, the other is on the side, but has a side exit to the balcony. Advertising a hot tub that is not heated for this price is ridiculous. The remote controls didn’t even have the battery covers in nearly any room. Very poor condition all around.Overall the reviews, listing and price tag were overstated and this property should be 1/4 of the cost and rating. Hopefully this review saves someone else from making the same mistake in terms of expectations here. We will not return.
Not what we paid for. Poor upkeep. The hot tub and one of the dishwashers didn’t work and couldn’t be fixed during our stay. 3 shower doors didn’t close. One of the toilets rocked back and forth. One of the bedframes fell down because the screws were rusted or missing. Maintenance man came. said he was going to Lowes for screws and didn’t come back. We called again and another one came and fixed it. No door stops in the house. Definitely not what we paid for. However, the location was excellent…secluded, but shopping and restaurants were very accessible. Would have been wonderful if everything worked.
Beautiful home. Had to call rental place on several issues- but all were taken care of in timely fashion. Ice machine and freezers could not keep up with ice output. Stove too small for a place this size.
We had a great family vacation! For the price should supply more things like beach towels, toilet paper, hand soap etc
Rating Details:The property manager was very helpful.The vacation rental was spotless.I was very happy with the location.I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.Reviewer Comments:Fantastic !!The facility is great. Found it very clean and complete as per rental information.Beautiful beach for walking. The group included 7 couples and we found there was lots of room to spread out and enjoy.Hope to go back!!
