Great place!

4 Shrimp and a Crab was a perfect place for our family beach trip! Everyone loved having their own bedroom and bathroom. The golf cart made the short distance to the beach easy and it’s always a plus to have a private pool. Steve, Cathy and their crew were very responsive to our needs! We will be back!

Great place for extended family

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 house, great location!!

We had a truly wonderful stay at 4 shrimp and a crab! It’s in the perfect location, just a short walk to the beach and having the golf cart made getting there even easier. The pool was great! All the little extras were provided, beach chairs, pool floats, sand toys and bikes. We would absolutely return and would recommend this house to anyone.

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! Kathy & Steve
