Relaxing Beach Getaway with a Thoughtful Host

We had a truly relaxing week at this wonderful property. The location is unbeatable—just steps from easy beach access and a short walk to the pier and nearby restaurants. The home itself is comfortable, well-equipped, and ideal for unwinding. But what truly made our stay special was the host. They were incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with the perfect mix of convenience, coastal charm, and outstanding hospitality, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Location was just perfect. Walking to restaurants and the pier.

We truly enjoyed our stay location was perfect for our family. Just a few things, some plug ins didn’t work and the showers had a screaming noise when you turned them on.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
