Just a few minutes South of Surfside Beach is Murrells Inlet, a seaside community that is considered to be the 'Seafood Capital of South Carolina". Once primarily a fishing village, the town is best known for the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, a half-mile boardwalk overlooking a pristine salt marsh, and many award-winning seafood and barbecue restaurants along Highway 17 business. Brookgreen Gardens is also located in Murrells Inlet and features several themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, trails through several nature reserve ecosystems, and the Lowcountry Zoo. They display a beautiful Christmas event, “Night of a Thousand Candles”, that has spectacular lights and is simply a must-see.

Perfect for Our Mini Weekend Away
We needed a place to stay while visiting family in Surfside with our two dogs. Our dogs immediately felt comfortable in the space which made us very happy! The property was extremely clean upon arrival and it had everything you could need and More! Such as plenty of towels, up to date appliances (even an keurig & airfryer). The thing that sold us on the place is that it is walking distance to our favorite bar Neal & Pam’s. Ashley was so easy to communicate with during the reservation process. Thank you so much for a place to call home during our weekend in SC!

Excellent winter getaway!
This was our third stay at this beach cottage. The owner, Ashley, is excellent to work with. She keeps making updates to this charming home, making it more enjoyable to come back to. Close to the beach, modern kitchen, with stainless appliances. Comfortable furniture. The deck is a great place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Located in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. We enjoyed our stay at this little gem!

Great place and location
The place is great little getaway spot. All the amenities to make it feel like home. A really short walk to the beach, doesn’t matter which way turn out of the house. Both beach access is equal distance. The area is quiet with a small town feel.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sabo

Host profile image
We began hosting on VRBO 12 years ago with the desire of owning a vacation home and having guests enjoy it as well. Our first home was purchased in VA, and since that time we have purchased 3 others in South Carolina. Hosting on VRBO and hearing about the wonderful memories our guests make in these homes has since become my passion. My husband and I are originally from VA and Florida. We currently reside in Tega Cay, SC on Lake Wylie...yes we love the water (salt and fresh). My husband served in the US Marine Corp., then attended Montreat College, and I attended Clemson University and obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. We have 2 children, our son is a third-generation student at Clemson University, and our daughter is a Senior in High School. We also have two loving Labrador Retrievers, and understand the importance of traveling with your "Whole Family" (2- and 4-legged children)

Why they chose this property

We chose this area of Surfside Beach due to the very close proximity to the ocean and golf cart beach access (1 block). It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, and we have wonderful friendly neighbors that have become like family.

What makes this property unique

This house is not elevated which is wonderful for those that prefer not to climb stairs. We prefer the close proximity to the beach,the private feel, and the open floor plan.
