Hidden Gem!

We had a lovely stay here at this hidden gem for our first visit to the area! So clean and beautifully decorated-fully furnished to the detail! Extremely fast communication to the property management. So appreciative of the Huntington Beach Park pass provided! Convenient to everything and in a sweet and quiet location. We hope to be back again! Thank you!

Amazing house and location

This house was great! Very clean, very modern, amazing kitchen! We were able to bring our 4 dogs which meant the world to us especially our children. The location is great, very close to stores, restaurants, gas stations and just a short drive to the beach. The owners were great and responded quickly to anything we needed. Would definitely recommend this house and stay again!

Beautiful AND Dog Friendly!

Beautifully decorated with lots of special touches - from extra toothbrushes & paste in the bathrooms, to mints & water by the beds, to fresh-baked cookies in the kitchen. The large space out back was perfect for walking the dogs, and the neighborhood was lovely and quiet. We enjoyed our stay!

Five Start Accommodations

My husband and I love to travel and have stayed at dozens of VRBOs over the years. This has been one of our favorites, and the listing didn't do it justice. We were in town for A Night of a Thousand Candles, and the location we booked last year was not available, so we booked this location and are so grateful we did. We pulled into a quiet little neighborhood into the driveway of a quaint little house. The yard is beautifully decorated, and the house sits next to a small creek. There is an outdoor seating area with a small fireplace and firewood stacked next to it. Inside, the house was decorated with beautiful glass statues, comfortable furniture, and all the amenities we could want: a coffee bar, spices in the cupboard, all the cookware you could need, and cookies on the counter. The rooms were comfortable, with mint and water next to the bed and an abundance of pillows and robes hanging in the closet. The walk-in shower was one of our favorite features and did not disappoint. This home was welcoming and comfortable and far exceeded our expectations. We hope to book again next year!

Hidden Gem in Murrells Inlet

This was an amazing place to stay in Murrells Inlet. We drove down for the night from Wilmington to view the Marshwalk Christmas lights. This place is not far at all from the Marshwalk. Seeing the lights was a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. The house was perfect and so homey! It was easy to find and get in as well. Lastly, the beds slept soo good!! It was like sleeping on a cloud!!! I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful house.

Beautiful cottage in a serene setting minutes from all attractions.

This cottage was spotless and beautifully appointed. Both the owner and property manager were welcoming and responsive. For those traveling with pets, the cottage has generous green space, and is in a beautifully walkable location. Beds are comfy, the kitchen is a cook's delight, and the shower is a luxorious experience! We will be back@ manrestaurants.

Too short

Michael and his team were amazing. The air was messed up when we got there and I sent him a message through the app. He had someone there with in an hour. We just went to dinner and got back to a beautiful home. So beautiful and well cared for. We enjoyed everything. The yard and trees, the water fountain and bridge were so quaint!!!! The shower was amazing and the openness of the home was great. It was quiet and peaceful but close to food. Murrells was a cute town. Friendly people and beautiful home. Wish we could have stayed longer...we hope to return soon.

Cute cottage in the center of Murrells Inlet

Well-appointed cottage only minutes away from the famous marsh walk and other activities in Murrells Inlet. Complete kitchen with all modern appliances including a Keurig machine. Fully stocked with cutlery and kitchenware. Fridge is a little on the small side, but perfectly adequate for a week stay. The full-sized washer and drier are a big bonus. Bedrooms are nicely decorated, and the beds are comfortable with plenty of linens and towels. There is only ONE walk-in shower, shared between the two bathrooms! We did not understand what a Jack & Jill bathroom was in the listing. Not the owner's fault, but a lesson for us in the future. May be good for mobility impaired as it has a seat installed. Because of the sandy soil, a lot of sand gets tracked into the house. Even though we remove our shoes at the entrance, it's impossible not to drag some in. The floors probably need a deep scrub from time to time. Next to the house is a creek. There is a fountain to circulate the water, but it was inadequate for the entire creek length. The mosquitoes come out with a vengeance at dusk which makes the multitude of frogs sing with joy. Overall, the house met our needs for the week and we enjoyed our stay.

Great place in surprisingly great location

The house is cute and has pretty much any utensil, kitchen tool, and even spices you might need. There’s even China. It’s nicely decorated/designed as well. The Jack and Jill bath (private toilet/sink for each bedroom with shared shower area) was fine. The house is about a 12 minute walk to a really cool/fun restaurant area (look up “Wicked Tuna” and see the other bars restaurants nearby.) It’s nice NOT being in the touristy part of Myrtle Beach. For golfers, it’s a bit of a haul up to Calabash, NC/Northern Myrtle, but Barefoot Resort courses are about 40-45 minutes away, so not too bad. The owner was very responsive to questions and very flexible as well. We had a blast!

BEST VACATION STAY IN MURRELLS INLET!

We absolutely loved our weekend getaway! Already planning to come back longer. The home & it’s gorgeous landscape makes for a magical vacation!! The little details inside the home made it personal too. The only thing I would add or change is more comfortable furniture in the living room to enjoy movie nights. Everything was great!!

Hands down this is the Best Rental Property I have ever rented! The house was absolutely gorgeous, had all the comforts of home, and was close to everything but tucked away from all the crowds. We were only 3 miles away from Huntington Beach which was a Huge bonus! The host was extremely helpful and quick to answer any correspondence. We will Definitely be back!
