The hot tub was an issue, a 15 minute timer which is the only way to heat it is a problem and must be addressed.Had two toilets than ran continuously.The GFI outlets in the Kitchen tripped when two toasters were running at once.Overall house was great, clean and we loved the location.
Our stay was wonderful, the location perfect, the facilities were beautiful, well laid out, and the host very accomodating. The few problem that arose,(a running toilet, a non functioning washing machine, and a broken hose timer), were taken care of promptly. The maintainence crew were friendly, polite, and efficient. The only dissapointment was that the fireplace was non-functioning, and that we were not notified that itdidn't work. We will definetly stay there again!

Our family stayed at this beautiful home for my great aunt’s 90th birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing! The house itself was stunning, offering the perfect setting for us to create memories that will last a lifetime. Seeing my grandmother so happy made the trip even more special.The views were absolutely breathtaking, and visiting in January was a wonderful choice—we got to experience the beauty of the area without the crowds. As the family planner, I can confidently say this will be my go-to spot for future gatherings.A huge thank you to Amber for being such an incredible point of contact and to the entire Bask team for ensuring our stay was perfect. We cannot wait to return! (Review written by Shyra)
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! It was plenty of space to accommodate our group and was very well stocked with everything we needed. Easy and quick access to the beach was so nice. We will definitely be back and would recommend for anyone traveling with a large group!

This was our groups 25th annual golf trip and we have been all over the country and made our way back to myrtle beach and this house was just perfect. Was super clean and you could not beat the views. Thank you
I wish I were more technologically savvy so that I could have operated the tvs. Probably just a "me" thing. The house is beautiful and absolutely completed stocked with whatever you might need. I would absolutely recommend this property to a large group!

Plenty of space
The house was nice. The photos made the house look nicer. The outdoor area by the pool wasn’t clean. My bathroom smelled like urine. The furniture in the common areas was dirty and worn. The messages throughout the house were a great touch. We enjoyed them.

Reviewer Comments:
This well kept home is awesome, and I say home instead of house because that is how it feels. You can tell the owners use the house as well. It is very well stocked. More than enough dishes, plenty of kitchen items including 3 crock pots, 2 waffle irons, tons of large stock pots, a Keurig coffee maker as well as 2 with cone shaped filters. The beds were comfortable and most of the bedrooms quiet. There is plenty of refrigeration space for food and drinks! There is also an industrial ice maker that kept up with us (we use a lot!). The small refrigerator outside by pool was a great convenience. The pool has a big shallow end that was great for our several 1 year olds and little kids. It says 8 parking spaces but we had 12 cars and had plenty of room.
We had an amazing stay at Anchor of the Soul! The house is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our work retreat of 20 people. There was more than enough space for everyone to spread out comfortably.Everything about the property exceeded our expectations, from the easy beach access to the pool, hot tub, and especially the two kitchens, which made hosting a large group so convenient. The home was spotless, well maintained, and thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and gathering together.We also got a fun surprise when we realized this was the house where Gronk stayed while filming the Ice Shaker Beach Games!We truly can’t say enough great things about this property and our experience. We had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to coming back next year!
