The house was clean & beautiful. Yes pet friendly & our lab enjoyed the outdoor yard. Thank you for letting us stay. Look forward to staying there again.
We loved this house! It was very clean and so beautiful. Definitely a gem in a great area that is super close to everything and the setting was beautiful with the live oaks with Spanish moss just gorgeous
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!
Moving our daughter into coastal…close to campus and quick ride to beaches, stores, inlet walkway.
Comfortable home with everything we needed to cook and hang out there after a day moving and the beach.
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 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.
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!
This house is decorated beautifully. Top of the line everything. Great location. We spent a lot of time in Murrells Inlet and Garden City. Would definitely recommend. Whoever decorated it must be an interior decorator. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Close to everything. Great time.
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.
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!
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.
We had an amazing experience! The house is beautiful! The kitchen has everything we needed, and we were even welcomed with fresh cookies! We traveled with our dog, and it was fantastic! Thank you James!
Fantastic home and host! Murrells Inlet is charming and our stay was wonderful! Communication was excellent! I do hope to be back again. Thank you for a great week!
Dream kitchen with the ability to cook easily as if you were at home. Fabulous great room with great table for family gathering or games. Really enjoyed the coffee bar. Location is great and near many popular attractions. Will definitely stay here again!!!!
This was our second time staying here we absolutely love it!! House is very clean and inviting with plenty of room and we are able to bring our dogs which is a huge plus. The host is quick to respond with any questions. Great location close to food and grocery stores. We hope to stay there again next year.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful, the area was perfect and family friendly. We were able to enjoy all beach and vacation activities, but still able to feel relaxed and at home.
Gorgeous house, very well stocked. Surprisingly quiet and secluded for as close to everything this property is. Owners very responsive and easy to work with. Would absolutely stay here again!
Great accommodations and location. Highly recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
We had to move after one day because of water issues with the bathroom to a place that was bigger but very outdated with poor kitchen, owner was polite but we never would have rented that type of home. Location was good but many issues with property.
