1 word - AMAZING

The property was clean and ready for us! The kitchen and laundry area had everything we needed. It was the perfect home away from home! The location was wonderful as well! We were close to shops, food, and only a few minutes from several beaches. We will definitely try to stay here again!

Surf Shak

Older home remodled with upgraded master bath. Very quaint. Would not recommend more than 3 adults unless you dont mind sleeping on the couch, which is very comfortable. Host is awesome to communicate with. Very responsive. Neighborhood is excellent and quiet. There is a lot of traffic noise but shutting the front door eliminated it. I would stay there again for sure.

Cute and cozy

This little gem was perfect in every way. Short drive to restaurants, marsh walk. and Huntington Beach State Park. We loved rocking or swinging on the screened in front porch. …almost like going back in time to Grandma's house.

Perfect Location - Lovely Home

Our first time in Murrells Inlet and we loved it! Home was charming and beautiful use of space.. we adored the wraparound porch and eat in kitchen was huge! We only use the master bedroom as it was just the two of us, but the bed was super comfortable, and the master bath extremely large, and the closet in that section was nice and big .. Location AWESOME ... we were only about a mile to all the restaurants and bars at the wharf area and an easy 10 minute drive to Surfside to the beach ... we would def stay here again - had a wonderful time!

Wonderful stay at Surf Shack

This little house had everything we needed and more: it was sparking clean, spacious, well equipped, with a huge master bathroom and a lovely screened-in patio. The kitchen was well equipped with all essentials as well. Rebecca’s communication was top notch! The location was convenient to the Huntington Beach State Park as well, which is a true gem for photographers, birders and nature lovers. We enjoyed it every day during our stay in Murrells Inlet. Our dog who came with us, has asked us to give the house 5 barks out of 5 as well!

Perfectly quaint cottage

I loved this property, and it was perfect for what my husband and I needed. Rebecca was very quick to reply to anything I asked and made check-in seamless. The screened-in front porch was so relaxing to wake up in the morning and drink my coffee on. It's location is perfectly located to easily get to all of the main restaurants and it's just 15 minutes from the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a Hidden Gem

This property had everything we needed. We especially liked the large kitchen and the spacious screened in porch in the front. And the fact that we were able to bring our dog with us was just fabulous. He had a great time being with us! We had relatives that live in Murrells Inlet and would definitely choose to stay here again when we visit.

Convenient Shak

The property was comfortable, clean and convenient to Rt17. There was an issue with an older stove and the PM addressed that with the owner. Great screened-in porch. It’s an older home with very efficient heater/window units. The TV is Roku so bring your streaming passwords. Overall it’s a good bargain place to stay.
