The house is really nice. Large kitchen stocked well for a large group. However the refrigerator doesnât work well and it leaks. It will freeze items in the back. The parking is also a problem. We had 3 mini vans and you canât pull into the parking spaces. Very hard to park. The house is newly renovated and is very nice.
Great property location. We couldn't use the outside furniture its was dirty and we couldn't get the tv to work. All the bathrooms were dirty we had to clean them. We had problems with all the tv's in the house. I did contact the property owner and he did respond. The beds are very uncomfortable lumpy. This is a beautiful property and the house is beautiful. Its needs a very good deep cleaning and new furniture.
Was nice and quite, relaxing place to stay inside the park. With a nice short walk to the ocean for morning sunrises and beach fun. Just what we were looking for.
Great Location and owner was very responsive! Kitchen was stock with pots and pans!! My only complaint is the parking! Very tight squeeze for 4 vehicles but when booking it said we had 5 spaces!! So close to the beach and beds were comfortable !
Do not stay at The Salty Mermaid. If youâre reading this and still within your cancellation window, CANCEL immediately. This place was an absolute disaster from start to finish, and itâs shocking that itâs even listed as a vacation rental.When we arrived, we were greeted by a broken front glass door and an outdoor light with exposed wiring-a major safety issue. The inside of the house was filthy, with visible dirt, dust, and grime on surfaces and in corners. There was mold in multiple areas, and worse, we saw cockroaches crawling through the kitchen and bathroom. It was unsanitary and disgusting.We contacted the host right away to report the condition of the home, but they were completely unhelpful and dismissive. No refund. There was no true apology. He made a minor effort to fix a couple things, but took no accountability whatsoever. It was clear they had no intention of maintaining this property or caring about guestsâ experiences.The listing photos were incredibly misleading â they do not reflect the current condition of the property. What we walked into was not just disappointing; it was downright unacceptable.This was the worst rental experience weâve ever had. Iâm writing this to save someone else from wasting their money, risking their health, or ruining their trip. There are plenty of great places to stay in Myrtle Beach â this is not one of them. We left early from the vacation we worked so hard to be on-we couldnât handle it anymore. CANCEL IF YOU CAN!
I'll start with the positives . This house is great for groups , we had 3 families with 16 people . Each family had their own bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen being open to the livingroom makes for a great space to gather . The owner offered a 5% military discount which we greatly appreciated. The cons:I read previously about the cleanliness issue but it showed a new company was hired and didnt see any bad reviews at the time of booking earlier this year so thought we would be in the clear. Sadly the issues we had had clearly been noted in the reviews in the last 2 months and have yet to be fixed. I did reach out to the owner the morning after check in , while he didnt try to address any issues or apologize he said he would let the cleaning company know. I chalked our 5% discount up to the cleaning fee that we should have rightfully asked for back. The house was dirty. All the sheets and blankets needed to be washed as they were dirty and sandy. There was beer cans, shot glasses and trash under the beds . There were blunts on the table downstairs in a candle -we are grateful our house full of children didnt find this before we did on night 2. The bedroom remotes didnt have batteries , which we had to purchase and many lights have blown bulbs/broken .It's sad the house has alot of potential. Had I checked the reviews the month before I would have reached out to confirm that the cleaning and maintenance had been fixed.
The house was super adorable and for being in the middle of the travel season was holding up! Unfortunately the vacuum had no suction so the same was hard to keep down. All issues we had were fixed in a timely manner. Nice short walk to the beach and where it is at its tucked into the back corner which made it a little more quiet which was nice for a busy week! I enjoyed our time and would go back.
Great place for family. Was exactly as described. Comfortable home. Central to everything -super close to the beach. Perfect for all ages. Will definitely rent again
Stayed the weekend for a dance competition. House was clean and in great shape. Enjoyed the stay. Very very tight parking under the house but made it work. King beds were very comfortable.
We celebrated my mom beating breast cancer over Thanksgiving. The house was terrific, clean and everything we needed to prepare meals. Thanks, Kevin, for everything.
Over all this home is nice. The streets are very tight to pass and to park for larger vehicles. The campground is wonderful. Kevin was very responsive.
We enjoyed our stay. The house had more than enough room to accommodate our group (4 adults, 2 babies, 3 toddlers, 2 kids, and 3 teenagers). Everything was as described and pictured. Love the fact the the pots and pans were large to accommodate large groups that was a nice surprise! Over all 10/10 would stay again! The host was very accommodating to letting us check in really early and very responsive to messages. We had 0 issues that have been previously mentioned in other reviews.
