PRIVATE POOL (19' x 10') Open year-round. Pool heating is available in spring and fall (Apr 1–May 31, Sept 1–Oct 31) for an additional $250 + tax per week. Heating is only effective when temperatures—day and night—are forecasted to be above 60°F. We recommend checking the forecast closer to your stay (but at least 5 days prior) before adding heat.
PRIVATE SPA This is an open-air spa, not an enclosed hot tub. Complimentary spa heat is provided year round; however, because it is open-air, the desired water temperature may not always be achievable when outdoor temperatures—day and night—are below 60°F. Spa heat is most effective during mild or warmer weather conditions.

Reviewer Comments:
The entire booking experience from start to finish was a complete breeze.The home felt like just that, a home and not another rental. This is felt in every detail, all accommodations in the home were comfortable, and top-notch. Short walk to the beach, marsh on one side, ocean on the other. Although this was further down, it was still a perfect escape to enjoy SC!
Excellent property in great location to the beach. Perfect for the kids with a wonderful pool area and hot tub. Easy to get to the many attractions offered in the Myrtle Beach area.
