The Neighborhood:
We (The 979 Crew) love our sleepy Surfside Beach community with plenty of sand and surf to enjoy! This particular home is located in the heart of Surfside and just a block from some of the more popular restaurants and seaside bar and grills. Just a quick drive away is Jetty Park which is an ideal spot for fishing enthusiasts, surfing, shelling, and beachcombing, there's something for everyone to do.
Getting Around:
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.

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 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!

Awesome location within walking distance to the beach. Newer home with all the amenities needed to relax. There are so many decks on this house to sit and socialize. This pet friendly home made it an easy decision for us to getaway. We will visit again!

Surfside getaway
We had an awesome stay. We love the property. It was modern and clean, which is a must have for me. We were a few steps from the beach. I love this property so much that I hope it’s available for our trip to Surfside next year.

Surfside JOY!
Many thanks to the management team! Amazing communicators and workers. IF THIS IS THE ONLY REASON YOU BOOK this home, it's worth your money. My family would say the BEDS are worth your sray!
We had a few glitches with the home, but we just monitored and adjusted. We were more than taken care of.. The "newer" home is beautiful, and has amazing design. Closer to heart of town than we've been before, and enjoyed that. A block from shore and EASY access. Home is at end of street, so a little more quiet. Hwy on other side, but not noisy.
Surfside is a little gem! From the volunteers that help keep the beach clean to the policemen that patrol the beach who take the time to stop and get to know you!

Smelly water
The bad:
The dryer vent was missing, so there was several items of clothes trapped in the vent hole. This is a fire hazard. Also, most of the decorations are cracked or damaged. The water from the faucet has a very strong sulphide smell. The showers, the sink, everywhere. Water smelled awful. Undrinkable.
The good:
Other than that the place was good for a few days, location is perfect. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable.
