EASY CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT:
It's easy to stay with us and secure too! Access the home electronically at 4pm on the date of your arrival with your unique lock code that we specifically give only to you via text and email. Your code is live from 4pm on your arrival date until 11am on the date of your departure.

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!

🐾 PUP-FRIENDLY:
Bring Fido! We welcome your furry friend (aka family member). 1 x well-behaved dog allowed at this home, subject to approval and a non-refundable pet fee of $100 per stay.

WIFI/TV SERVICE:
Our properties include WIFI/Internet and TV service for your streaming services. 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. So grab your favorite people, ditch the electronics, and spend the day at our beautiful beaches!

Perfect getaway for some alone time or for a couple. Excellent deck for relaxing and enjoying the Gulf views. Direct access to the beach is a big plus. Clean and quiet. Communication was excellent.

Second time at this property. Cold and wet weather set in but did not dampen our time. Had the place and the beach mostly to ourselves. Easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. Overall a solid getaway.

The beach access was perfect! Just steps from our door. The place was just big enough for the two of us! It was a little dated, however, and the stove was too small.

This unit was very cute. It was perfect for both of us. The location is right on the beach. Walk down the stairs and there's the sand leading to the water. Will surely book again.

We stayed during the recent tropical storm. Had really high tides, but we were lucky and did not flood. Beautiful location right on the beach! Needs a little updating for the price, but we enjoyed our stay. Need to be more forth coming with pet fees. Listing was vague about fees and costs. Cost an extra $220 for my two small pups that was charged after I booked and had already paid for my stay.

We enjoyed 4 nights here. It is right on the beach and we had fun resting and playing. The dishes were dirty, a stair was broken and the bed squeaked so bad it was barely any sleep. The futon is really small and only space for one person. The management fixed the stair and apologized for the dirty dishes. No luck on sleeping though. The condo was otherwise clean and free of mold (often a problem at the beach). It was quite sufficient for our needs.

The condo smelled mold and nasty fabuloso when you open the door which also permeates into your luggage. The bed was super uncomfortable, with springs poking into our sides and backs and was super loud and squeaky,. The shower is so tiny a single adult can barely fit and the shower is not adjustable so my tiny teen was constantly sprayed in the face with no escape. floor was cracking and coming apart, walls were not fully painted, and don't even think about cooking in there. horrible. do not recommend and will never stay there again.

My husband and I celebrated his 70th bday quietly- just the two of us. The location is excellent whereby the beach is just a few steps away. The bed and bedsheets were comfortable and clean. We had a very good night sleep on our first night but on the second night, we slept later than we used to because we heard a lot of running footsteps and jumping from the renters directly on top of us and newly arrived. We didn’t complain because we understand how it is with small children. The coffeemaker was not working and 2 out of 4 burners were not working. I made management aware so they can address the issues for the next renters. I would also recommend better cleaning of the toilet bowl. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

First the location was exactly what we wanted. Off the porch and onto the beach with 24/7 surf view and surf sounds.; Property management has some issues. Seems to be conflict with this property or owner. The person checking the property prior to arrival must have simply opened the door to see that cleaning was finished. Nothing seems to have been inspected. Hazards were broken step on long entry stairs; lamp with no bulb in live socket; broken microwave; ceiling fan in bedroom almost self destructed; internet was out and living room TV did not work. Cox guy showed up late the second day (owner drove in from Houston to meet him) and removed broken router. This killed both TVs and left the property without internet assigned to it. Luckily I caught him before he left and got access to other building routers, otherwise there would have been no internet or television. Management did nothing for the TVs but I managed to figure them out. But, essentially 2 days were burned doing things that should have already been done. A few minor little things would make the stay more pleasant, such as a lamp near the couch for reading; towel bars or hooks in the bathroom and coat hooks elsewhere.
