Surfers! Steps to Surfside's Beach and Pier! Private Single Home! Pool.

Hello, welcome to Mandalay by the Sea! This raised beach home is perfect vacation rental for you and your friends and family.

The home’s rear gate gives is a quick walk to the towns’s beach access. This beach house is just steps to the family friendly, pristine beaches of Surfside on the Atlantic Ocean. It has covered porches on both the first, and second floors. On the ground floor, an outdoor table is covered from the sun.

Ground Floor
The ground floor has a professionally maintained private, in-ground pool. The pool can be optionally heated, around mid March through mid November, for an additional fee of $50.00 a night. It also features lounge chairs, and two dining tables. A Weber propane grill is provided for your use. There is a private outdoor shower to remove all that beach sand. At the home, there is private off street parking for five cars.

Main Level
The first floor consists of a well- equipped kitchen, and living room with comfortable seating. One of the sofas converts to a bed. There is a wide screen TV, and a wet bar with a wine cooler. There is a half bath next to the built in entertainment center. Further on the first floor, there is a washer and dryer behind privacy doors. There is one bedroom, with a private full bath, and queen bed. The first floor also consists of the covered deck, with partial ocean views.

Second Floor
The master bedroom is on the second floor. You will find a king bed, with a private covered balcony, with partial ocean views. A master bath awaits you, with a stand alone shower, and a separate jetted tub. As you walk to the other bedrooms, you will pass a desk, just in case one needs to sit and make dinner reservations. There is another bedroom with a queen bed, and private full bath. As you walk to the front of the home, you will pass a bedroom with one twin bed, and a set of bunk beds. This bedroom shares a jack and jill bathroom with another bedroom, that features a full bed.

Mandalay by the Sea is conveniently located near the attractions of Myrtle Beach, but offers the family friendly location of Surfside Beach. Walk to the beach, pier, farmer's market, and Sunday serenades at the park.

Freshly laundered linens and bath towels will be provided-at no extra charge- and the home will be cleaned by a professional couple. I have a long term relationship with them. You will be dealing with the owner directly, and we will ensure that your stay is enjoyable. You will not be treated as just a number, but as a guests.

The home does have two exterior ring cameras, that do not record when guests are present A blue tape will also cover the cameras, to ensure your privacy. The motion detection only light in the driveway is on, and it can be shut down if you request. I can put the motion light on in the pool, but it seems annoying. There are no other types of recording devices in, or out of the home.

First time in Surfside and absolutley loved the area the house was in. Close to the beach so it didn't seem like a hassle to take all the beach stuff there. Plenty of beach chairs, plenty of beach towels, a beach cart, corn hole, and mini ping ping table. Pool was very clean and new looking - wish it was a bit bigger, but it the same size as other pools all over Surfside. Grill and outdoor area were great. Kitchen was pretty well stocked. House was very clean and host was extremely responsive and provided and extensive list of details about the area. Though VERY clean, the house needs some updating in decor and comfort - mattresses and pillows need to be replaced as does the cookware. Would stay here again if we decided to come back to Surfside, but would bring more cookware and our own pillows. Overall, we were pleased with our experience.

Great location!

The home was exactly what we needed and expected. We had 6 adults ( one elderly), 4 kids (5-8 yr old), plus a 2 year old. The walk to the beach was very flat and easy for everyone. Cheryl and Tom were kind, helpful, and attentive. When we noticed a few banisters on the deck were loose, Tom came out first thing and fixed them. The local area was wonderful with a lot of attractions within walking distance. We enjoyed our vacation very much and highly recommend this home.

Could not have gone any better

Thank you Cheryl, Your home was exactly as posted. The beach literally is a few steps out the back gate and the chairs, umbrellas, towels and beach toys provided made our adventures there that much more enjoyable. My wife and I have been traveling extensively throughout the U.S. over the past three years staying in close to 35 short term rentals. Cheryl’s place rates among the top 5 in our book. And communication was top notch. To anyone thinking of heading to the Surfside area, we highly recommend this property. Thank you for a wonderful stay Cheryl. The Tatangelo,Zurfluh clan.

Great location in Surfside Beach!

Mandalay Bay is a wonderful place to stay in Surfside Beach. The house is clean with 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. A dining table for 8 and a large bar area with 6 stools, so plenty of eating space. The pool is kept very nice and clean. The outside area is very relaxing. We had a shrimp boil on the outside table and that worked well. The location is very close to the beach access and walkable to restaurants and the Surfside Pier. Owners are responsive should you need anything. They responded to my request very quickly. Overall, a nice place to stay if your destination is Surfside Beach.
