Very relaxing; some issues

Loved the feel of this place ! Host claimed loss of perfect rating unless I gave perfect score! Only a bunk bed in 2nd bedroom. No forepit as advertised - just the bunkbed. MAJOR HAZARD: a step down from main bedroom to BR; needs a ramp. TWO motel soap bars total. No 5-star host welcoming touches.

Cute Pet Friendly “Shack”

This historic older cottage is pet friendly and convenient to the Marshwalk. The best part is the large screened front porch for sitting and relaxing. The kitchen is large and well equipped, although we didn’t cook much at all on this visit. We mostly used the house for a place to sleep at night while we visited family in the area. Rebecca is great at communicating if you have any issues.

We had a wonderful time!

This Murrells Inlet cottage is Fantastic and Perfect!! Right around the corner from our favorite seafood market (Seven Seas), so close to Pawleys Island (where other family members were staying), fully stocked kitchen - we cooked a lot! Had the family over for dinner since the kitchen table is Large enough for 6 or 7 people. My husband loved the hammock! Our dog loved the screened-in front porch. The Master Bath is Huge! We really had a great time! Thanks for having such a fully stocked kitchen that I could make soup - plus other things. Ann&Randy (late June 2024) P.S. you only need wine glasses and some kitchen towels

1 word - AMAZING

The property was clean and ready for us! The kitchen and laundry area had everything we needed. It was the perfect home away from home! The location was wonderful as well! We were close to shops, food, and only a few minutes from several beaches. We will definitely try to stay here again!

Surf Shak

Older home remodled with upgraded master bath. Very quaint. Would not recommend more than 3 adults unless you dont mind sleeping on the couch, which is very comfortable. Host is awesome to communicate with. Very responsive. Neighborhood is excellent and quiet. There is a lot of traffic noise but shutting the front door eliminated it. I would stay there again for sure.

Perfect Location - Lovely Home

Our first time in Murrells Inlet and we loved it! Home was charming and beautiful use of space.. we adored the wraparound porch and eat in kitchen was huge! We only use the master bedroom as it was just the two of us, but the bed was super comfortable, and the master bath extremely large, and the closet in that section was nice and big .. Location AWESOME ... we were only about a mile to all the restaurants and bars at the wharf area and an easy 10 minute drive to Surfside to the beach ... we would def stay here again - had a wonderful time!

Wonderful stay at Surf Shack

This little house had everything we needed and more: it was sparking clean, spacious, well equipped, with a huge master bathroom and a lovely screened-in patio. The kitchen was well equipped with all essentials as well. Rebecca’s communication was top notch! The location was convenient to the Huntington Beach State Park as well, which is a true gem for photographers, birders and nature lovers. We enjoyed it every day during our stay in Murrells Inlet. Our dog who came with us, has asked us to give the house 5 barks out of 5 as well!
