Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were warmly welcomed when we got to the office. Tip Ellen is on Pawleys Island S.C.We had looked for a place for some time. It seems most places will take Dogs but not Cats. We were aloud to take my cat. She is 11 yrs old, declawed and just sits watching the birds and car on the front porch of Tip Ellen. It is a big porch and is all screened in. We loved it sitting outside with the cat and not worry about her walking away. That was the first time she has ever been outside except to go to the vet for shots. Tip Ellen is a very old place but in not a bad location. We were on the row back from the beach so could not see the ocean unless we walked ( which is a short distance ) to go see the ocean.The place has a front stairs and a back stairs. You walk up the front stairs onto the big porch and in to the living room. Knotty Pine is on the walls, 4 bedroom,2 with queen beds and the other 2 bedrooms have 2 full size beds in them. So it can sleep 12 people. It has 2 full baths in the house and under the house is the laundry room with washer and dryer and toilet. they also have a shower to rinse off the sand after going swimming or playing in the sand.A new refrigerator and stove and all the utensils you will need including plates cups coffee pot. Al you need is towels ( or you can rent them ).Overall it is a nice place,it is being updated in places. I would come back again but we like to sit and see the ocean from the house. We have had a great time here except for the cold weather we had this year. **** & Faye

It is an excellent choice if you want to get away from your normal routine. The house has everything you need to sleep, and feed a herd of friends or family providing you stop at the grocery store on the way out to the island. You can still get in the water well into October, it can't be beat for a fall break.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is what I think of when I think of Pawleys Island. Simple, quiet, restful, relaxing. No frills just honest beach. It has just about the best second row location possible and with enough room for a family. And although older, it was as clean as a new home. Suzanne is quick in communicating and accommodating above all else. She cares about your experience. I would highly recommend Tide Life for anyone who desires good service and a great vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year we have stayed in this house with the property management being Tidelife. Tidelife has been great to work with and they will jump right on any problem you might have. This house is named Tip Ellen and it was built in 1956, which means it has weathered a number of storms and survived them all. We love the older houses as they have a lot of character. The house was clean and they had upgraded several chairs in the living area and also on the porch. The location of the house is great, bing on second row and 5 minutes to the beach. We have recommended the house to at least 6 other couples.

So close to ocean to walk the dog and hear the waves. Close to restaurants and shopping. Close to Myrtle beach without the traffic.

We appreciate being able to have our dog "Dolly" stay here with us. We were a little disappointed in having the public beach at the end of the road closed for repairs after the hurricane in 2016. Now that it is open, we use it almost every day. We are 1 row back from the beach, very close but not much of a view (we did know that before we rented). Owners were very nice and helpful. It is a great area, very friendly people. Cottage has everything we need, it is an older place and homey if you aren't expecting luxury and modernity.

Two minor suggestions for improvements: kitchen appliances need updating; parking area is sand which causes a lot of sand to be in vehicles.

The listing and pictures are somewhat deceptive, It is VERY DATED, There is NO view, it is further than 120 steps and the bed in the master bedroom is OLD and LUMPY!! The rental company was great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The reviews of this place make me question how valid the customer review system is. First the good - the AC is cold, and the porch is nice. That's it - that's the list.

We've been going to Pawleys for 20+ years, and this is easily the most disappointed I've been with a rental. I've never actually written a bad review until now.
You expect some roaches at the beach. But this was an infestation. Several beds were borderline unusable (broken box springs?) The property description claimed total renovation of interior - at best that's misleading, at worst just a lie. The porch was best part of the house, and while a couple hundred dollars in furniture would have given a nice sitting area there, instead you've just got a few cracked plastic chairs. Garbage disposal was broken on arrival - not a big deal but was told a work order would be generated and someone would be out to fix it - didn't happen over 4 days.

I won't get into the details of dealing with Tidelife, whose customer service is far worse than the condition of this property, except to say there are plenty other vacation property management companies that homeowners and renters in this area would be better off doing business with.

The Tip-Ellen house was quite perfect for my immediate and extended family. Conveniently located between the creek side boat dock and more importantly beach access. An enjoyable kayak ride from one point to the other was about an hour and no vehicles were required. Early morning to early evening spent on the beach. Nearly every night was spent playing cards around the dinner table. Lots of dolphins, a loggerhead turtle and some other various sea life was at our fingertips.

The location is excellent, plenty of parking area, hot water tank was a pleasant surprise (with 12 people we never ran out of hot water). The screened in deck was great. The property does need a few updates. Two mattresses were completely worn out and very uncomfortable, and the dishwasher had issues. There is a concrete trip hazard at the bottom of the stairs that caused one fall and quite a few trips. With those few updates it would be a wonderful rental.

Great location, steps from beach and short drive to restaurants and world glass golf. Very clean and tidy, if I come back to this area I will look at this house first.

We played board games, beach games, cooked together in the perfectly adequate kitchen, then grilled and dined on the screened porch. It's the perfect resting place between fishing charters and beach lounging, etc.

4 friends stayed for a long weekend golf outing in the Pawley's area. The home set up perfect for us and is close to everything! Would not hesitate to book again.
