  • Vacation in this adorable Beach Cottage, "On the Half Shell"! This home is mere steps to the beach located only one block from the ocean. It offers comfortable bedding, flat-screen televisions in each room, cable, Roku, wifi, and everything you need to vacation in a home away from home. If you need extra space please check out our other VRBO listing # 632149, "Sandy Feet Retreat", or rent both properties to accommodate several families.
    The Half Shell has 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, and an outdoor shower. The Master bedroom has a queen bed and a flat-screen TV with Spectrum Cable and Roku options. The second bedroom has a Queen Bed, with a Full Size Trundle Bed, and a flat-screen TV with Spectrum Cable and Roku options. This home offers a spacious living area complete with a queen-size sofabed, love seat, and 40 40-inch flat screen TV with Spectrum Cable and Roku Smart options.
    The home offers a fully equipped kitchen, complete with an Oven, Microwave, Dishwasher, Keurig Duo Coffee Maker, Crock-Pot, Air Fryer, and well-stocked kitchenware. Perfect for cooking in, any style...Steam-pot, toaster, blender, etc. Enjoy the wonderful Carolina Climate on our large back deck that offers the natural shade of a beautiful Live Oak.
    "On the Half Shell" is conveniently located close to many of the area's best attractions. The home is only a few blocks from the neighborhood park/playground. The Surfside Pier is 3/4 mile from the home and offers pier fishing, ice cream, and an oceanfront restaurant. There are several other excellent restaurants in this area; River City Grill (Excellent Burgers), Pizza Hyena, Chimichanga Lama (Great Mexican), Gracious Pig (Yummy BBQ), and Neil and Pams (Fun Karaoke and Great Breakfast). Garden City Beach is directly South of Surfside Beach and ends on a peninsula at the mouth of Murrells Inlet. Other attractions include Marlin Quay Marina, Gulf Stream Café, Garden City Pier, Original Sam’s Corner, and Sara J’s Seafood Restaurant.
    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.
    If you’re looking for places to shop, Inlet Square Mall, the Market Commons, Coastal Grand, Myrtle Beach Mall, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, two Tanger Shopping Outlets, and many more shopping facilities are all within an easy drive from Surfside Beach. Looking for some entertainment, take in a show at Medieval Times, Pirates Voyage, The Carolina Opry, and Legends in Concert. The Ripley's Aquarium, Wonder Works, Alligator Adventure, Hard Rock Cafe, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, and The Pavilion Nostalgia Park are other fun options.
    Whatever your heart desires, whatever your need, the South Strand offers a little something on everyone’s to-do list. We have a variety of wonderful restaurants, fantastic retail stores, creative miniature golf, exceptional charter fishing, exciting water sports…and of course, nothing but relaxation.

This little gem was perfect for a solo traveler and golden retriever. One block off the busy Ocean Blvd on a quiet residential street with plenty of neighborhoods to walk. Easy stroll to the beach and restaurants. House was spotlessly clean, comfy bed and crisp bed linens, lots of nice white towels. Appreciated the hose to rinse of samdy toes outside. Great little beach house!

The cottage was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Perfect amount of space for two adults and two dogs. The walk to the beach was super easy, which we loved. Plenty of local restaurants and activities within walking distance or short drive! Overall a really nice, relaxing place to stay.

The property is as described based on the listing. It’s a cozy beach bungalow ideally located in a friendly neighborhood, very close to the beach, and allows dogs! My husband, our two dogs, and I had ample room and very much enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely stay here again or another property owned by Ashley.
