About this property

The Shanty: Amazing Home on 'the Point' of Cherry Grove at Hog Inlet

Luxury 2300 sq. ft. home, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, sleeps 10 (K, Q, 2Q, Q)

An amazing view awaits you! It is perfectly poised where the Atlantic Ocean joins North Myrtle Beach's Hog Inlet. This unique property offers breathtaking views of the ocean, inlet, marsh and uninhabited island. Soak up the sun or fish on the secluded beach accessible from your private pier. What a perfect setting for a beach retreat, family gathering or simple golf, fishing, or outlet shopping get-a-way.

This is one of the very few home rentals available on the point of Cherry Grove. You will realize why you chose this property over all the rest from the time you enter the front door and set your eyes on the lovely furnishings and the panoramic views. From the old pine floors and high ceilings, to the fun decor, you will breathe in coastal ambiance.

Newly renovated bathrooms for 2024!

This lovely rental is located on the right side of the 4600 square foot duplex building. On the first floor, you find the living quarters with an open living, dining, and cabana style kitchen combination. The views from this area are absolutely amazing! Connecting the kitchen to the sun room is a butler's pantry area. The sun room is designed for entertainment and relaxation. Here you will find a flat screen TV with a Play Station 3 Blu-Ray Player, games, movies, books, and puzzles, as well as a half bath. Covered balconies are found leading out from the living room and sun room.

On the second floor there is a gorgeous master suite with an amazing view and a walk in shower. You will also find a second bedroom with a queen size bed leading to a private bath. A laundry room is also located on this floor. Both bedrooms have walk out balconies. Two bedrooms with ocean views and a bath are located on the third floor. The third floor bathroom is accessible from the largest bedroom and from the hallway.

The property has a private pier on a small creek that leads directly to Hog Inlet and on to the ocean. The point is constantly changing due to currents, tides, storms, and a recent beach renourishment. A WetSteps seven step stairs are now used in order to access the water and beach from the pier (as seen in the photos). Look at the photos for the differences in the sandbar (that connects to the point) from low to high tide. The most recent photos were taken at the end of August 2022. Since we are no longer allowed to have our floating dock, there is no way to securely tie a boat or kayak. Therefore, unattended watercraft are not allowed.

To make packing a little easier, we provide a locked guest storage area on the ground floor with beach chairs and accessories for guest use including sand toys and boggie boards. We have tried to think of everything possible to make your stay a memorable experience.

Our property is pet friendly for one mature, well behaved dog with a 40 pound weight limit with minimal shedding; no puppies. The pet FEE is $285 plus 12% tax. There is a limit of one dog. Dogs must be PRE-APPROVED by sending an inquiry to the owner listing the breed, weight, and age of the dog PRIOR TO requesting a booking.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNER, please click "ASK MANAGER A QUESTION" and wait for a response BEFORE clicking "REQUEST TO BOOK". That way you are assured of learning if this property is best for you and your family.

Our Favorite Place

We have made numerous trips to this area. The Shanty is our favorite place to stay and our second time staying there; it will remain our top choice going forward. It is clean, comfortable, well decorated, and has a well-equipped kitchen. On top of that is a view that cannot be topped anywhere in the area. We give the Shanty our top recommendation.

Best Week Ever

The Shanty provided everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The view was calming and magnetic. We spent hours watching the shifting tides, kayak traffic, and ever changing wildlife displays. Easy access to an almost private beach was perfect for our family. Our only regret - we had just one week.

AMAZING PLACE

We had the best vacation ever! This place is so beautiful and by far the cleanest place I have ever rented for our family vacation. There was cleaning supplies for us to use as we stayed and that is such a helpful thing. The owner is amazing and was always available to answer questions I had. We will definitely stay here next year. Amazing views of the water and ocean. We have no complaints whatsoever. Thank you so much for trusting our family to stay in your home. ❤️

Fabulous!

Many vacation rentals can be disappointing, but this one was not! We loved The Shanty! Everyone was able to spread out and enjoy all the space it had to offer. The decor is beautiful and makes you feel right at home. It was a quick walk along the inlet to the ocean and we spent many afternoons sitting on the deck watching the tide come in. We will definitely be back!

Heaven on earth

You will not be disappointed with The Shanty. Beautiful location with stunning views. Close to everything but far enough away to have peace. My family of 10 (includes a 1 y/o), plenty of space, all of the rooms are decorated with a tropical vibe. Master bedroom is amazing!!! Kitchen fully equipped with anything you need to feed your crew. I cooked every day and didn’t want for anything.

Perfect

My husband and I ( and our dog) spent the month of March at the Shanty. It is simply the perfect place for a vacation. This home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable; the owners have gone out of their way to anticipate what a vacationer might need and have supplied it. Lydia is absolutely wonderful to work with. The Shanty is located at the point of Cherry Grove on Hog Inlet. From the balconies, the view of the inlet is fantastic. It is constantly changing with the coming and going of the tides, and those changes are fascinating to watch. We could also see the ocean pushing into the inlet. From the dock behind the Shanty, we could cross over to walk along the inlet and could reach the beach in about 5 minutes. Being in this location is like having your own private beach. We have been coming to Myrtle Beach area for years and had no idea that Cherry Point held such gem as the Shanty. Finally, this beach house is close to activities, the shows, shopping, and restaurants—-in other words, perfect!

Perfect!

My family and I booked a very last minute trip to The Shanty for my 47th bday and Mother’s Day. We had such a great time!! The Shanty was perfect in every way. This host has thought of EVERYTHING to make the guest’s experience perfect while at her property. The home and neighborhood are great for families with children. My children rode their bikes to the beach and around the neighborhood. They were also able to fish off the dock, and at low tide, there is a beach area right around the dock, where they fished from as well. A word of caution for groups with children. The water behind the house is deep water. Our group learned that the hard way by flipping a kayak out behind the house. While us two that flipped the kayak could swim, we did not have on our life jackets and quickly realized that the water was a lot deeper than we had imagined. The current is also very strong, so please be sure to keep a close eye on any kiddos around the water. Also, when the tide comes in, it does so very quickly, and you will want to make sure that they are up on the dock before the beach area disappears. Also, I know other guests have mentioned the stairs. I have back problems and I was able to manage the multiple staircases. Remember to cut on the outside light if you are exiting the property at night. This is a duplex, but the way it is designed, you have optimal privacy while using the back decks. The neighbor did not bother us at all, and we rarely saw him.

Me and my family stayed at this beach house over the weekend and it was amazing!The home was beautiful, check in was smooth, the host communicated well and in a timely manner, it was stocked with a lot of essentials so there wasn’t much we had to bring and much more!The pier was awesome and when it hit low tide you could walk from the pier to the beach. There were tide pools everywhere with little Star fish, crabs, and hermit crabs. Over all it was a pleasant experience. 10/10 would recommend!

When we walked in the door we felt like we were home. Always clean and smells great! This place has everything you need as it is stocked with all things you will need to cook with and I love that cleaning supplies are there for me to keep the house clean during our stay. The owners are amazing and are always very responsive if I need them for anything. Also, the beach toys, chairs are there to use as we stay there. I can’t say enough how AMAZING THIS HOME IS!!!!

Perfect Beach Getaway – Cozy, Well-Stocked, and Full of Charm!

Our stay at The Shanty in North Myrtle Beach was everything we hoped for. The house had all the comforts of home—cozy beds, a well-equipped kitchen, soft linens, and inviting living spaces that made relaxing easy. It’s beautifully decorated in vintage beach style with coastal colors and nostalgic details that give it a warm, classic feel.The views were stunning—sunrises over the inlet, salty breezes on the deck, and the sound of waves just a short stroll away. We loved how close the house was to both the inlet and the ocean. The inlet was perfect for peaceful beach walks and searching for shells, while the beach was just a few minutes' walk and ideal for long, sunny days in the sand.The owners went above and beyond by providing everything you could need for a beach day—chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and even a beach cart, which made our daily outings super easy and stress-free.The Shanty offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and convenience. Whether you’re traveling with family or just looking for a quiet escape, this beach house delivers an unforgettable stay. We can’t wait to return!

Unfortunately storm Debby arrived during our weeks vacation. House is as described, very clean with great views. Plenty of room for our group of six adults. Owner was very responsive and communicated with us throughout the week regarding the storm. Plenty of games, puzzles, etc to keep us occupied as the beach was not an option.

We have stayed at numerous places over the years, but this is our favorite and we have returned year after year. You cannot find a better view of the waterway leading into the ocean. Everything is clean and tastefully decorated, and the owner is quick to respond to any issues and enjoy to work with. I would give this place more than five stars if that was possible.
