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.

The Ripley's Aquarium, Wonder Works, Alligator Adventure, Hard Rock Cafe, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, and The Pavilion Nostalgia Park are other fun options.

The house was clean and good. No issues there. However the only issue we had was the tree out back with allot of stuff always dropping stuff from the tree. Every time we went out to the deck we had to clean off the table and chairs. We didn’t want to eat out there as we didn’t want any of that stuff falling into our food. Other than that the place was nice and cozy.

Our stay was perfect, very pet friendly. We only used a few kitchen items, but was well prepared if needed. Very satisfied.

This place worked out good for us. We have a senior greyhound and he’s not great with stairs. However, we did have a few issues. One was the sheets wouldn’t stay on the beds. They are very thin. We had to fix the sheets everyday. Also, the nonstick frying pans are very old (Teflon) and unsafe to use. We ended up buying one from Walmart and brought it home with us. Lastly, we couldn’t get any live channels on cable or Roku, other than news. No abc, cbs or nbc prime tv. Had we known, we would’ve brought our firestick.
