Nice Oceanfront House

Good, quiet location. Well-appointed, enough parking for 3 vehicles. Good sized beach just steps away and lots of extras. Comfortable beds and nice decor. 4 adults and 3 children and it was more than adequate for all of us.

Perfect Location

We loved the location of the house. The high rises were not close so the beach area in front of the house was not crowded. Plus it is literally right on the beach.

Hurricane Debby Vacation

Can't say enough good things about our stay! The house is beautiful inside and out. Fully stocked to include puzzles and games. We did manage a few good days outside, but thankful we had such an awesome place to be stuck inside. The pool was very nice and close and the beach access was fantastic! Owner's were very easy and accommodating to work with. Would highly recommend this house. Loved it!

Great Vacation Home

We had a wonderful time. The living room is even larger than appears in pics. The home was spotless & offered everything we needed. You walk straight out onto the beach or to the pool. Amanda was quick to reply to our questions. I highly recommend for any family.

Family Vacay

The location on the beach was fabulous. The house was nice. Lots of kitchen stuff. Great to have beach towels, chairs, umbrellas for the beach. The carpets could have used a good cleaning or replacement, especially in the family room. Overall good place to stay.

It was lovely, would stay again.

Two families totaling nine people stayed for 6 nights; we were all very comfortable, there's plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely stay there again. The beach is right there over that short wooden bridge and the pool is right there in front of the next unit. Outdoor showers for rinsing off as you exit the beach and another at the pool. The unit was clean and comfortable. Well stocked with plates, silverware, pots and pans etc. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. We called the property management company because of a slow drain (shower was filling up during use) and they came right out and fixed it just a couple hours later. We were all very happy with everything! Thank you!

Perfect for a multigenerational family vacation - even better than expected!

Such a spacious house with easy beach and pool access made for a SUPER enjoyable vacation. It's definitely bigger and better than the pictures! Our family is used to taking chairs, beach toys, towels, etc. and to be safe we brought some with us. Absolutely this wasn't necessary. Bruce and Amanda had purchased new chairs, new toys, new beach towels.... Also, was so responsive and gracious with all my many questions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We will be back.

Exceptional Home--not like normal beach rental property!

The furniture was VERY nice, mattresses were A+. It felt like a home, elegantly decorated. Beautiful, fresh colors throughout the home with priceless views. The owner has EVERYTHING you need, just look for it. Made doing Thanksgiving easy. My adult kids stated I had outdone myself with this house. Brookgreen gardens Night of a 1000 lights is excellent during holidays. Raves restaurant for breakfast, everything is homemade. Inlet Crab House is great. Both local and close to house. It was a perfect Vaca!!!!

Such a cute beachhouse, and the view can't be beat

The homeowners respond quickly and helpfully. The view from the two decks is fantastic. And, I could actually see the ocean from my bed in the room I stayed in. The homeowners were so thoughtful, and left beach towels for our use. They also provided us with a packet of information so we would know where we could shop nearby for any items we might need. I would definitely stay there again if I were going to Murrell's Inlet.

Beautiful Home, Perfect Location

My family had a wonderful time during our stay at The Surf Shack. The property was clean, comfortable and in the perfect local. Bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, umbrellas and sand chairs were provided by the owner. Check in and out was a breeze. The ability of some family members to use the pool (cleaned every morning by a maintenance crew) while others enjoyed the sand and ocean, just steps away, was a plus. The owner quickly answered any questions I had and was extremely friendly and communicative. I love to ride my bike and had no problem peddling to nearby stores and restaurants. I highly recommend staying at The Surf Shack, you won’t be disappointed!

Awesome location

We loved the property. We are from Idaho and were celebrating our daughters graduation from SVU. We had our 4 grown children and a few of their spouses plus a few grandchildren. Plenty of room to spread out and find a quiet spot. Right on the beach with access to a pool. This place is far enough away from the frenzy of Myrtle Beach but close enough to restaurants, ice cream shops and golf. They also had plenty of beach chairs and toys plus a bbq to grill with. Highly recommend this house as an seaside oasis.

Family Vacation

Renting the property from start to finish was a five star especially the communication with the homeowner. As far as the home itself we all concluded that this property could benefit from household updates. The rental home definitely has a beach theme, but could benefit from having modernized updates. If you were looking for fast communication and a smooth process renting the homeowner was very accommodating and I never had to use the rental company. The homeowner answered all questions within 5 minutes of an email!

Awesome Vacation-Amanda, the owner is AMAZING

Our original vacation was cancelled in Oak Island due to the hurricane. Two days before our vacation was to begin, we were frantically searching for an ocean front home that would sleep 10 people. It had to have access to a pool (our grandkids are watetbugs), AND it had to be reasonably priced, as all of our $$ was tied up in our cancelled (till 2021) vacay. From beginning to end, Amanda, the owner, was AMAZING! She responded quickly, made everything we had to do a simple process, and by the end of the process of paperwork, I was ready to invite her to come with us! The home exceeded our expectations! It is everything and more of what it is described to be! It's located convenient to everything you need (groceries, shopping, restaurants, etc), and is a very short walk out the back door to the pool and the beach! If we ever opt for the Garden City/Murrells Inlet area for vacation, we will definitely stay here again!
