Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Everything was great. The stove burners need some attention and a booklet on how to operate it would be helpful. The location views and home was wonderful. My family was totally impressed with the vacation. Thank you Baskaway!
We enjoyed the pool and the beach. The house was more than adequate for our needs. The two dishwashers was a blessing. However, the icemaker in the bar area did not work. We had to buy bags of ice to make our frozen drinks.
Home was nice could have been a little cleaner. Had a couple minor maintenance issues which were addressed in a timely manor. Property management company was great.

Reviewer Comments:
This house has provided a perfect backdrop for our family - 11 adults + 8 young children for two consecutive years. The pool, the beach access, the home, its amenities and the parking are all aspects that fit our family perfectly.
The location of this property is perfect. The house was clean, but could definitely use some updates. The electrical system needs some attention. Everything we did have problems with was fixed quickly. Overall, it was a great house and worked well for our family. We would stay here again.
The house was perfect and was very comfortable for my family and friends. We had room to spread out and we enjoyed being so close to the beach. The outside amenities were great with plenty of room on deck. I wish we could have used the outside bar more but the weather didn't cooperate. Don't hesitate. If you have a large crowd, this is the place for you!

Reviewer Comments:
We found the house to be sufficient on first look. We were not happy about the non-working oven and stovetop. The two options for ovens were not sufficient for our needs. No grill was available unless we rented one. Some of the light switches were broken and the toilet upstairs did not flush or fill properly. The sink in the bathroom downstairs was not draining properly. The ice maker leaked and the pool motor was loud and broken. The lights around the pergola did not work. I sent a list to Rebecca of the things we found that were broken when we arrived. The outdoor area around the pool was really lovely. The furniture on the back porch could use a good cleaning. Robbie was wonderful, but we were not happy with the lack of ability to speak to a person when we would call the office. You also rebooked it with someone else before we had the chance to consider it. Your fee for reserving is high compared to other agencies. The location is really nice and if things were in good repair it would be a wonderful place.

The home is big and spacious. Everyone gets a room and bathroom for themselves. Yet the living room, dining and kitchen are big enough for all to enjoy. The pools were perfect for our younger family members. And the view of the ocean was breathtaking.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was perfect for our family. Plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms and a nice layout. The access to the beach was great! Super close and easy for family members that have difficulty walking to get down to the beach. The only disappointment was the kitchen. It was a beautiful kitchen but wasn’t very well equipped for cooking. Very few pans, only 2 measuring cups and a very odd assortment of silverware and other cooking utensils. If you intend to cook dinner every night like we did maybe bring some extra pans from home and some other cooking utensils just in case. If you like ice cream though there were about 50 plastic ice cream bowls in the one cupboard which we found funny. Also, the stove took forever to heat up and a couple of the burners didn’t work. We ended up using the toaster oven more to cook because of the oven situation. The location was of the house was excellent. Very close to a grocery store which was accessible with a golf cart which was nice. We ate dinner one night at Drunken Jacks which was delicious along with great service and a beautiful setting on inlet. Overall we had a wonderful time at Footprints On The Sand and would definitely rent from BASK Away again in the future.

We have been staying beachfront in Garden City & Murrells Inlet for 40 years. This has been the best property we have stayed at for our family setup. Bask Away addressed any issues right away and looking forward to staying again. Only issue we had was one of the pool pumps was not working and wasn’t able to be fixed before we left.

Beautiful location right on the ocean. Outdoor pools and hottub were great. Unfortunately the house had many maintenance issues. (Broken sink, jacuzzi tub leaking into kitchen, broken doorknob, blown lightbulbs, broken pool sticks) HOWEVER, management was quick to come by and fix these issues once it was brought to their attention. We greatly enjoyed our stay. We just expected no issues with the amount of money it is to rent the house for a week. My wedding day at footprints on the sand was perfect.
