Great Property in the middle of Surfside

We needed a place that we could bring our dog with us. The house was great, and had everything we needed. If you want the Surfside experience, this is the perfect place.

Thanksgiving visit with kids & grandbabies.

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving week at The Crab in Surfside Beach! The house was exactly as described in the listing and more exceeding our expectations. It’s clean, well-appointed and has great beach decor. Spacious deck, great location, communication and everything we could have asked for.

Beach Resort Services saved our vacation!

Perfect little house for a family visit with a dog

House was clean and everything was in good shape. Couch was new and very comfortable. Kitchen had most everything (fridge needs a lightbulb). Cleaning products were available to cleanup any little messes. Outdoor shower was nice to use with the puppy and for us. Really a great place to stay. The AC works great so I was a little cold even - of course I forgot a spare blanket this trip. A couple of throws would be handy.

Meet the Owners of Beach Resort Services – A Family Tradition Since 1992

At Beach Resort Services, we are more than just a vacation rental company—we are a small, family-owned and operated business with deep roots in Surfside Beach. Our story began in 1957, when our parents stopped in Surfside to fish after their honeymoon in Galveston. What started as a weekend getaway soon became a lifelong tradition, leading to summers spent here as a family before finally making Surfside our home in 1976.

In 1992, our mother and founder, Catherine, who had been managing properties with Brannan Realty since 1976, took over as property manager for 13 homeowners in need—and that’s how Beach Resort Services was born. Since then, we have continued to grow, but we have never lost sight of what makes us special—family, tradition, and a passion for helping others create unforgettable beach memories.

Today, Beach Resort Services is run by a dedicated team of three—Denise, Drew, and Hope—who work tirelessly to provide exceptional service, trustworthy management, and a personal touch to every guest and homeowner we serve.

Why Choose Beach Resort Services?
✔ Locally Owned & Operated – We live, work, and play in Surfside Beach, so we know the area inside and out.
✔ Experienced & Trusted – With over 30+ years in business, we’ve built lasting relationships with homeowners and guests.
✔ Committed to Making Memories – We love what we do and are passionate about helping families create their own Surfside traditions.

When you rent with us, you’re not just booking a house—you’re joining a Surfside family that has been making beach memories for generations. We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay as special as Surfside has always been to us!

Why they chose this property

This property is newer, well maintained, perfect location, near the beach, splash pad & nature trails.

What makes this property unique

Located within walking distance to the pedestrian beach, jetty water way, fishing, crabbing, splash pad & nature trails.
