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!
We had a great time with family and the property was perfect for our needs. Thank you so much for an amazing stay!

Great beach trip
Our family enjoyed staying here. The sunsets off the porch were beautiful. The golf cart made beach access easy. Comfortable beds, lovely pool, good location and great communication with our host.
We had a wonderful time in this house. The house was very clean and well equipped. We had occasion to call our hosts once and they immediately took care of the small problem. We would absolutely love to stay there again.
This property was absolutely wonderful! Wonderful family friendly rental! So much offered and available to do there! Pool and pool accessories, beach equipment games ping pong table, bikes ect. The hosts were wonderful making sure we had everything we needed and available if we needed anything.

Beautiful and Fun-filled Stay!
Our family had a great time at the house! We loved the pool, the ping pong table, and the golf cart. The house was super clean and well stocked. We loved Surfside Beach and are hoping to be back. The house location was perfect.
Stayed for my son’s graduation from CCU: place was perfect for our family of teens, parents and grandparents. Location is much closer to the beach than it appears bc there’s a pedestrian bridge over the lake. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Family Getaway
We had a great time at the house. The condition of all the amenities were great and we really enjoyed the being able to use the cart to haul our things to the beach. We will be sure to look this property up next time we are planning a getaway.

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!
This was by far the best vacation home that I've ever stayed at. Everything was just beautiful and the owner was awesome. I recommend anyone to stay at this home. I'm definitely looking forward to returning next year.
We had a great time. House had everything we needed and we were close to the beach and softball fields!

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
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!
