The Surf Shak-Vintage Coastal Charm
A relaxing, coastal getaway awaits you at The Surf Shak, a restored 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in Murrells Inlet, SC. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city life in this quaint fishing town, just 10 miles south of Myrtle Beach. Less than a mile from the delicious restaurants at the Marsh-walk, Beaver Bar and SBB. A perfect place for families, friends, couples and pets.
