Awesome and Wonderful

This house was very beautiful, clean, well equipped with anything you might need. Golf cart was a lifesaver and we were very happy with the elevator. Best of all was the owner’s hospitality and care for their guests!

Comfortable and cozy

Great place for a family vacation. We had enough space for everyone to spread out and relax to themselves as well as enough room to sit together in the living room or dining room. Pool was a plus. Very warm and enjoyable. Beaches were very close to walk or drive in the provided golf cart. Love it

August 2024 Short Stay

The property was very clean and well kept. Nine adults were comfortable. We were a little disappointed with the view out back to the other properties, but obviously the owner cannot change that aspect. The complimentary golf cart was a big plus to move us and chairs to the beach, or nearby restaurants. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

Fun in the sun!

4 Shrimp and a Crab provides a great home base to enjoy the beach and pool and all the amenities of Surfside. We especially enjoyed the boat tours of Murrell’s inlet and some exciting Putt-putt matches. The accommodations and pool were perfect for our family!

A Great Week at the Beach!

This was our 2nd time staying at 4 Shrimp and a Crab, and it did not disappoint. We love the easy access to the beach and the amazing comfort of the pool. The house has so many nice extras, from a few spices in the cabinet, to lots of toys, to plenty of coffee filters! The house was a great launching pad for us to visit Murrell’s Inlet or to venture a little further to Mt. Atlanticus in Myrtle Beach for mini-golf. The many bedrooms with their own baths made it easy for us to accommodate everyone from kids to grandparents! Kathy and Steve are responsive and accommodating too—we definitely recommend their home!

Wonderful!

If you are looking for a place for your large/extended family, this is the place!! The house is well stocked with essentials to get you started! All bedrooms have a bathroom and the golf cart is great to shuffle people and chairs to/from the beach. The pool was perfect for days when we needed a break from the surf and sand. The beach itself, even at the height of summer, was largely uncrowded. Great place for families!

BEST RENTAL HOME IN SURFSIDE

My friends and I stayed at 4 Shrimp and a Crab for my husband's 40th birthday. There are plenty of rooms and beds. The house is filled with everything you need. Kathy and Steve were available for any questions we had and even checked in with us to make sure everything was ok when we arrived. The beach was close and there are restaurants and bars within walking distance. You don't even have to walk though, because you have the golf cart! The boys had fun playing ping pong. I highly recommend this house. Already started spreading the word!

An Absolute Gem

This property was amazing. The description does it no justice. The property managers/owners were delightful to work with. They answered any and all questions immediately. Almost felt like we were talking to friends. The elevator made moving our luggage to the top for effortless. The golf cart made the proximity to the beach and taking items with you no problem at all. Even the neighbors and community were great. I cannot say enough great things about this experience. We definitely look forward to traveling back to the area again and hope this house is available. Thanks again for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Fabulous House

We totally enjoyed our stay! The house is wonderful and was very well suited for our family gathering of 7. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans etc. There were paper products to get us started and hand soap in all the bathrooms(5 full and one 1/2 bath). There were wraps and tin foil in the kitchen drawers. The house was very clean! The golf cart was a plus to scoot around the neighborhood. We loved the pool and parking was easy! The owners were very prompt answering any questions I had and very kindly checked in with us early in the week to make sure everything was to our liking and let us know to text them if we had any needs! We would definitely return. Thank you Kathy and Steve! Di

Annual Family 4th of July Vacay

4 Shrimp and a Crab is short walk or golf cart ride to the beach, restaurants and shops. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with a relaxing private pool that we enjoyed very much. The house is modern, nicely decorated and clean. There are 4 en-suite bathrooms plus a full in the hall and a half bath downstairs. The kitchen has modern appliances and the cabinets are stocked. We had a wonderful vacation and this house was a perfect fit for our blended family vacation. Can’t wait to stay here again in the future.

Exceptionally Clean

Our family of 12 enjoyed our stay at 4 Shrimp and a Crab. The home is exceptionally clean and well stocked, although some of the cookware could use some updating. The internet/WiFi could probably use an update as well; the TV buffered and phones were slow to get a signal. The modest-sized pool was clean and a hit with the younger kids. The host was highly responsive and even gave us an excellent last-minute recommendation for a local photographer for family photos on the beach. It is located in a snug residential neighborhood so I don't recommend it to the outdoorsy, night-time, fun-loving crowd.

Great getaway with friends!

All of us really enjoyed our stay at 4 Shrimp and a Crab! Everything was clean and tidy and the policies were well written! The pool area was beautiful. We did not use any of the items in the little garage with the golf cart, except for the golf cart. Never used the elevator. Never made any meals at home, Neil & Pams Bar made such good food and we had their breakfast sandwiches 3 times! We wanted a reasonably priced place to hold all of us, and to not require renting a car....this was perfect! We enjoyed walking and seeing the neighborhood homes, going out for pizza, walking the beach and we went to the "Farmers Market" (not sure if that is the correct name for it in SC) on Thursday morning. We did an Uber to Broadway on the Beach one day and to Murrells Inlet another day. Highly recommend! Thank you from Wisconsin
