Great Place !

Blue Crab was the perfect getaway. I was looking for a place close to Myrtle Beach and close to the ocean. The house was one street from the beach and at an access. Surfside is a nice beach, Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet were a close drive. The house was clean and well stocked. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The owner was very communicative and polite . I am going to be staying there again and would highly recommended this rental.

First Stay at Surfside Beach

The size was perfect for our 2 families. Although we weren't oceanfront, the house is very convenient with a quick walk across the street to the beach. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed two decks and the shared pool was right down the back steps. There were a few items that needed to be fixed or improved.

Don't believe everything you read!

The reviews made it seem much better than what it is. It was disappointing. For the price, including the extra charges, I expected more. Windows leak when it rained, kitchen has no extras. Whole place needs some TLC.

Would rent again! Great location for beach, restaurants and shops in walking distance.

Easy check-in, managers easy to reach. House sits on a road but not a problem at all. We watched the July 4th parade from the porch and road side. The pier has great ice cream, several restaurants within walking distance. Benjamin’s bagels was amazing! Shared pool was no problem at all, would be worse at a Resort. The 1 queen room very comfortable, 2 queen room had to much lighting from the pool lights if you like a dark room but beds comfortable. King room was very warm even with door open. 2 twin bedroom nice and comfortable for kids , lighting didn’t bother them. Could use a deep cleaning but sure it’s hard this time of year. Overall clean! Would rent again! Thank you from our family Blue Crab!

Spacious, clean, excellent location

We loved our stay at the Blue Crab! It was clean and had a great layout for our three-generation family group. There was enough space for everyone, and the beach was so close. We could walk to restaurants, the pier, and ice cream shops. The pool was clean and was never crowded. There was plenty of parking. The hosts responded quickly when we had questions. The beach amenities (chairs, toys) were helpful as well. We will definitely keep this house on our list for future stays!

Location location location

Great property, stayed with 6 adults and 1 infant more than enough space community pool was right out our door and most times we were only ones in it. Steps from beach and short walk to dining spots. Could walk down to hear the live music and the local restaurants were excellent. Short ride to yoga on the beach in Garden City. They also have surf lessons but not my thing. Host was very responsive but we had no issues really. I left my phone and house cleaning returned to me by UPS asap. Would definitely stay in Surfside next time clean community not too busy but close enough to action if you want a short ride.

First time in Surfside Beach

The location of the house was good for not being right on the beach. Easy walk to the beach and some restaurants. We didn't have to get in the car very often other than going to the grocery store. We went out to dinner several nights and other than one time we walked to get dinner. Now, the house. We really enjoyed the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom, that makes it really convenient. The kitchen had just about everything you need except we would have loved to have a toaster oven. Loved the two front balconies and the one overlooking the pool which is right behind the house. There were several things that need to be looked into, first some of the lights on the ceiling didn't work, I don't know if just needs bulbs replaced or what. In the master bedroom both of outlets next to the nightstands didn't work right. In fact I thought my smartwatch had quit working because only one of the two plugs next to my side worked and then it must have quit working too because it wouldn't charge my watch which made me think the watch was broken. My husband said his side was the same way. Also in the bedrooms when the air conditioner was on it was really loud!!! Also since I reserved the house back in October 2022 a big house was built where you were suppose to be able to see the beach from the decks. All in all if someone asked me to rate the house from 1-10 I'd give it a 7. If some of the issues inside the house were to be fixed I'd raise it to a 9. All in all we enjoyed it.

Peaceful Stay

My family enjoyed our stay at The Blue Crab beach house! It is in a cute little beach town with colorful beach homes and walking distance to many restaurants. The beach was a short walk that we didn’t mind at all! Their storage “shack” had lots of useful beach items like toys, chairs, etc which was so convenient. Unfortunately, due to a new build, the view of the ocean is very minimal when sitting out on the deck but enjoyable and peaceful nonetheless. I really loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, however the plumbing of the house doesn’t allow for multiple people to shower at the same time-which was a bummer. We were able to work around this issue and overall had a lovely stay.

Great time with family

The property was spacious, clean, and nice. The pool was a great feature. The beach was just a walk across the street. The area around the house was quiet. We also were able to walk down to the pier and get a bite to eat. Overall, my family and I had a great stay.
