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.

Beach Resort Services saved our vacation!

After a horrible experience with 979 Vavation Property Services, Beach Resort Services saved our Vacation. The house was super clean, reservation and booking was super easy, and communication with the property manager was awesome! We will definately be rebooking in the future with BRS!

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.

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.
