INTERACTION:
We tend to let our guests have peaceful enjoyment of their vacation. This is a stand alone house and you are renting the entire premise minus/EXCEPT FOR locked closets and garage.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
Oak & Egret sits along the quiet tidal creek side of Highway 17 Business in Murrells Inlet, a low-key coastal stretch that still feels like a working fishing village rather than a resort strip. The road itself is lined with independent seafood spots, bait shops, and marinas where local boats come and go with the tide, while the marsh and live oaks keep the setting relaxed and green. Just a short walk away is the MarshWalk, the heart of Murrells Inlet’s “Seafood Capital” identity. The boardwalk puts fresh-caught shrimp, oysters, and grouper within easy reach, along with open-air decks and frequent live music as the sun drops over the water. Beyond the MarshWalk, the same stretch of 17 Business connects you to beach access points, Huntington Beach State Park, and Brookgreen Gardens without the congestion of the main Grand Strand corridor. Evenings here stay soft...egrets working the flats at low tide, the smell of salt and grilled seafood drifting across the creek, and the sound of peaceful wildlife more common than traffic. It’s close enough to everything you want (dining, the beach, local shops) yet set far enough off the main tourist path that the marsh still feels like your own backyard... because it is ;)

There is a door to enter the property to the left of the garage doors. Your electronic door code works that door, the main living area at the top of the outdoor staircase, and the ground floor suite around the corner from the outdoor bar area. There is NO INTERIOR access between floors. The only staircase is the outdoor staircase.

Close to the heart of Murrells Inlet, this raised beach house is a welcoming base for exploring the
Grand Strand - or simply enjoying a restful weekend away.

Upstairs, the open living, dining, and kitchen areas give everyone a place to gather. This level
also includes a king primary suite with a walk-in shower, a second full bathroom, laundry, and a
deck overlooking the tidal creek.

Downstairs, a separate king suite features a walk-in shower, a kitchenette, and a lounge area with
a twin pull-out bed. Its patio entrance adds privacy, while an outdoor staircase connects it to the
upstairs living space. The layout works especially well for couples traveling together or
multigenerational families: share the day, then enjoy the comfort of your own space at night.

Oak & Egret sits along a tidal creek, where the view changes naturally throughout the day. High
tide fills the creek with water, while low tide reveals oyster beds and mudflats where egrets and
other marsh birds gather to feed—often making low tide the most interesting time to watch the
marsh come alive.

Bring your morning coffee to the dock, then spend the day on the water, at the beach, or
browsing local shops. Back at Oak & Egret, meet for cocktails at the covered bar beneath the live
oaks or settle into the sectional around the fire table as evening falls over the marsh.

For dinner, take a seat around the spacious outdoor dining table with its gas fire feature - perhaps
with the day’s catch on the menu - or head to the MarshWalk, about half a mile away, for
waterfront dining and live music in the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina.” End the evening
with dessert by the wood-burning fireplace under the stars.

Come for the beauty of The Inlet. Stay for the moments you’ll remember long after you leave.

Car is best. Rideshare readily available. Bicycles (for rent) can also be used. Maximum Parking- 3 vehicles. No trailers at any time and no motorcycles without prior permission.
