Tucked inside the beautiful, amenity-packed Oceanside Village in Surfside Beach, SC, this short-term rental home offers far more than just a place to stay—it’s a destination in itself. Recently, we had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous vacation property for the rental management company, and our goal was simple: capture the experience, not just the space.

Capturing the Resort Lifestyle

This gated community is overflowing with vacation-worthy perks: three sparkling pools (indoor and outdoor), a playground for the kids, tennis courts, basketball, and even its own private beach access. The aerial photos were key to showing just how close the home sits to the ocean, giving future guests a bird’s-eye view of both the resort layout and their easy beach access.

Telling the Story with Styling

We styled the property to reflect the coastal, relaxed vibe guests will feel as soon as they arrive. At the poolside, chilled drinks, rolled towels, and sun hats helped bring the scene to life. Inside, we created a welcoming dining setup with a beautifully arranged table—perfect for capturing the joy of gathering after a day in the sun.

We staged refreshing snacks and beverages strategically placed to add personality and purpose.

More Than a House—It’s an Invitation

Great vacation rental photography goes beyond walls and furniture. It invites guests to imagine themselves there—waking up with coffee on the screened porch, grilling out with family, splashing in the pool, or strolling to the beach. That’s the emotion we aim to capture in every frame.

Whether you’re a homeowner or property manager, showcasing your rental with high-end photography—especially when paired with lifestyle styling and aerial perspectives—can make all the difference in standing out in a crowded vacation market.
