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!

Great place for extended family

Stayed for my son’s graduation from CCU: place was perfect for our family of teens, parents and grandparents. Location is much closer to the beach than it appears bc there’s a pedestrian bridge over the lake. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Wonderful Family Getaway

We had a great time at the house. The condition of all the amenities were great and we really enjoyed the being able to use the cart to haul our things to the beach. We will be sure to look this property up next time we are planning a getaway.

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!

We enjoyed the house, the attention to details, the golf cart for getting back and forth to the beach. We came down with our adult kids and although there were a lot of little kids on the beach, we were able to relax and enjoy the beach and pool all week!

Great Family Week Long Vacation

The house was perfect for our group of 10, and the cart was especially useful for elderly parents. The house was clean and very close to the beach. We would definitely recommend this property to others. The owners were extremely responsive and very easy to work with. Just about everything is a pretty close walk or ride without the typical Myrtle Beach traffic.

The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. Loved the rocking chairs on the front porch and the location. Perfect distance from the beach. The pool was an extra plus to go to after the beach. So nice that there were beach chairs for our use. We had an absolutely wonderul stay. Can't wait to return next year!

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.

Great, spacious retreat!

We had such a great time. The girls in the family got together for beach trip. The rooms are spacious with great bathrooms for everyone. Girls can never have enough bathroom time this house has lots. The ride to the beach on the golf cart was fun. It was great to be able to park right at the decking to the beach for free. It was easy to go back and forth with the golf cart. We felt safe and enjoyed breakfast on the front porch in the morning and dinner on the back porch at night.

A great find!

By pure luck we came across this property while scrambling to find an alternative to a rental property impacted by Hurricane Isaias. The house was beyond clean, kitchen well-stocked, and exceeded our expectations in every way. The golf cart was so much fun and free parking at the 8th Street access was plentiful every day. The first floor master was perfect for the grandparents, and upstairs bedrooms were great for adults and their children to spread out. This area of Surfside Beach is less crowded than others. Highly recommend!

Perfect House

We could not have asked for anything more in a vacation home. Close to the beach, very spacious interior, outdoor pool, plenty of parking, elevator, gas grill, and use of a golf cart....and I'm sure I left a lot out. Have stayed in several vacation homes before, and I have to say that this is the most well equipped I have ever been in. Everything combined just added up to a really memorable week. And Steve and Kathy were a pleasure to deal and talk with. Thanks very much for allowing us to stay in your home!!

Surfside Beach

My family had a great time at this property. The host was very approachable and accommodating. The house was plenty large enough for four adults and two kids. The house was super nice and comes with everything you would need for the trip. We cooked the majority of the days and had no difficulty with the stocked kitchen utensils/cookware. The beach was an easy 0.4 mile walk or a quick ride on the golf cart. The golf cart was a great way to take all of your beach gear. Plus, we never had trouble finding a place to park the golf cart. The beach is family friendly and the water is warm. We would definitely stay here again:)

A MUST STAY

Kathy and Steve were an absolute delight to deal with! We felt bad expressing the elevator issue but they had MULTIPLE people come within a day. They truly know how to run a beach house. The golf cart was so accommodating for my grandmother and the amenities are endless. We normally stay in Outsr Banks but couldn’t find a house to suit us, this house was 2k cheaper for a little longer drive. Don’t turn this house down, you won’t be disappointed!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy & Steve

Host profile image

We are a family of 5 who love our homes in Surfside Beach SC, “The Family Beach”. Throughout the years we vacationed at many different places along the coast of North and South Carolina.

When we stayed at Surfside Beach, we knew this was the place we wanted to purchase a home at. It has so much more to offer than the other coastal areas we visited previously- it is a small family-oriented town only 2 miles long, that is clean, safe, and close to all the activities of the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand, and is golf cart and pedestrian friendly so you can leave the car parked and just enjoy family time.

When we were younger, we stayed at many places, but they always seemed to let us down- issues with cleanliness, location, amenities, etc. We decided if we were ever fortunate enough to own a beach home that we, or people who visited our home, would never experience these issues. We offer everything possible at our homes. We handle all rentals on our own, being most rental companies are concerned with profit above guest satisfaction. We do everything possible to ensure a 5 star stay for our guests who often become friends over the years, and even have a local contact, who is a friend of ours, to help handle any unforeseen issues that one may incur during their stay.

We try to make sure our homes have everything that you would have at your personal home like a well-stocked kitchen and laundry, plus nice amenities while on vacation like private pools, hammocks, linens and house towels, beach toys and chairs, ping pong, and some of the homes also have elevators, and included golf carts. On top of all of that our places are clean, and none of them are very far from the beach, or shopping, restaurants, and attractions.

We look forward to having the opportunity to be your hosts!
