Great location and size of house. Let down by air conditioning problems, WiFi problems and swimming pool cleanliness. Cutlery needs a review - limited number of spoons and wine glasses.

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 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.

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.

plenty of room!
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!

Enjoyable family vacation
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.

Positief: Locatie
The location and beach access was great! We have stayed in many homes in the past for our big family vacation. This house by far had the most big issues. Had we known about these we would NOT have stayed. Some of the larger issues were: 1. Dishwasher at the island does not work and is not attached. It falls forward when you open and slide out the racks. 2. Room temperature control was difficult. The baby monitor would record the temperature during the day at 73 F (thermostat setpoint) and during the night the temperature would drop to 63 F. Unfortunately we had no control over the thermostat. This too was also stated in a previous review. 3. Many in our family had complained that the mattresses were not comfortable. My wife and I experienced the same thing. They seemed to be VERY firm. 4. Bathtub in 2nd floor bedroom above kitchen leaks. This leaked into a can light in the kitchen. This too was also reported in a previous review. There is a good chance you have mold growing in the floor space as a result.5. Above the kitchen island is a return air vent with two air filters. The air filters look extremely dirty. The BASK office indicated that filters are replaced monthly. This one looks like it has not be replaced in many months. We were reluctant to prepare food under it because it was so dirty. An odd place to place the return air vent.6. Approximately a dozen more items that need addressed.BUYER BEWARE.

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.

Family Fun at the Beach
Bask Away was great. They were quick to fix every problem. The problems were too numerous to list all of them. A few were broken ice makers and lousy internet connections. The rental company I would rate a 10, but I will not be renting this particular property again.
One more thing - after all the taxes etc. I paid almost $16 K for this property. Then they charged $150 for a grill. That is ridiculous that the place does not provide a grill.

Reviewer Comments:
It's hard to describe a beautiful 11 day vacation in Murrells Inlet, in a beautiful home, for my daughters beautiful wedding. What most travelers do NOT plan for are issues with the home you rented. Well we definitely had issues, and if it weren't for BASK Away, I don't know what I would have done. They showed up immediately on site after I called, the maintenance team was awesome and so kind. You can't find a better group if there are issues, so imagine how great they are without issues? Exactly, use Bask Away next time you rent, not one of the other sites that do not have a human contact.
