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(s)!

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.

The place was just as advertised. Beds were comfortable, living quarters were spacious. Nice deck outside and little fenced area for dogs up front (dogs can easily jump the short fence). Outside also offered a grill, hang out space and a nice wash stations for dog fur full of sand! Extra towels, full laundry, full kitchen (lots of little ants will show up if you leave one crumb in the sink!). Overall it was a perfect crashing spot for my husband and a great place for the dogs and I to come visit on weekends. Super close to beach access. Note that neighbors next door enjoy smoking weed outside… ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fa81db81-d1cc-419a-8865-d4f25d59905c-1761421195546.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sonia C.
