The Neighborhood: 🏝️ We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! No touristy chain restaurants, shops or hotels. Just chillin' beach bar and grills, food (and beverage) trucks (like Surfin Rita Daiquiris To-Go), burger joints (like Pier 30 and Sharkies on the Beach) and tasty fresh seafood options (like Seahorse Bar & Grill and Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill) line the water. Surfside is your simple relaxing sandy beach, water sporting, surfing, fishing and crabbing vacation destination.
Other Things to Note: HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE: The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!

Due to our location (Island living is a whole other way of life), service may be unpredictable or spotty, and repair times can be delayed. While we will do everything we can to ensure these items are in good working order before your arrival, please note, these services may not be as consistent as they are in your area.

For property owner
The property was cute and well decorated. It was clean on arrival. The property needs repair and maintenance as it’s on its way to running down & not matching the pictures it advertises. You may want to check for a roof leak in the middle room upstairs-

Deep Clean
House is beautifully decorated, but needs a deep clean due to amount of people traffic. Air filters need to be replaced, area rugs need cleaning, kitchen cabinets need to wiped out. Master bathroom tub drain was clogged, full of mud and hair, we fixed this ourselves. Surface wise everything was clean, it is just in need of a little extra attention of specific items. Overall we would stay again at this property.

Awesome Family getaway!
The house was the perfect size for 5 adults and 3 children. We enjoyed our stay. The dishes were not clean and the bedroom carpets could use a good shampoo. The trundle bed was stuck, we were not able to use it at all. But other than those issues we had a great vacation. I’d definitely recommend it and would come back.

Lovely Beach Stay!
We had a great time at this beach house and would love to return. Our group was 2 families, consisting of 4 adults and 5 kids. It was the perfect amount of space for our group! The home is cozy and clean. Linens are high quality. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Kitchen had enough basics to cook for two families.
The beach is across the main road, but we didn’t mind the short walk. We loved the view of the bay from the main level of the house. The balconies have views of the beach and the bay.
Hope to return some day!

The kitchen has everything!
While the beach amenities needed to be brought with you, the kitchen ammmenities were exceptional. I’ve never had such a well stocked kitchen with appliances and extras (not food related). Interior linens and bedding were abundant. The weather wasn’t great but the multiple porches served our group well!
