Oceanfront Hacienda is such a hidden gem! I used to live in SC and I can honestly say this is in the top 3 best places to stay. We stayed in the Grotto for one night and it exceeded our expectations. They have done a great job of keeping the old charm of the property, it’s obvious that the owners really love it. The area is so charming and very walkable, with several dining options and a great coffee shop. The beach, SC pier, and SC train station are right across the street.
Things to be aware of:
1. The parking can be tough, especially in the summer. The terrain is very hilly so be prepared to potentially have a bit of a hike to and from your car.
2. The Saturday morning we were there a trash truck was doing its rounds around 7:30am, it was obnoxiously loud.
3. If staying in the Grotto, there is another unit above you. We could hear them walking around and dragging things across the floor. So if you are a light sleeper like me then bring ear plugs.
All in all the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot.
If you’re looking for a quintessential CA beach vacation without breaking the bank then this is it.
