Moving in Surfside Beach: what to know

Surfside Beach calls itself "The Family Beach," and it's a mix of year-round homes, beach cottages, condos and vacation rentals between Myrtle Beach and Garden City. Many beach homes are raised on pilings, so almost every move here involves outdoor stairs. Ocean-side condos add elevators, long hallways and building move rules. Our crews plan for all of it, and we bring furniture pads and straps to protect railings and walls.

Summer traffic on Highway 17 and near the beach can slow a move down. Fall, winter and early spring are the easiest times to move in Surfside.

Common Surfside Beach moves we handle

• Unloading a U-Haul or PODS for families moving to the Grand Strand

• Raised beach houses with outdoor stairs

• Condo moves with service elevators and HOA rules. See our condo moving tips

• Vacation rental furniture swaps and refreshes between guest seasons

• Heavy items like pianos, gun safes and appliances. See our heavy item guide

Tips for a smooth Surfside Beach move

• Ask your HOA or rental manager about move days, elevator reservations and where a truck can park.

• Start early in summer. Mornings are cooler and Highway 17 is less crowded.

• If your home is on pilings, measure the outdoor stairway and front door before moving day so we can plan for big furniture.
