We had a great experience. The property was very clean and very spacious. It comfortably fit 3 couples and 7 kids. Beach access was very convenient and the provided wagons, chairs and other beach items were a huge bonus. The owners were responsive and left clear instructions. We would rent this property again.Less positives: bunk bed psa. I urge you to preach caution as accidents can happen. The pool is more of an over sized hot tub. It wasn't suitable for 7 kids, if that's something you need.

Perfect for large family

Property is in great location for enjoying the beach. Easily within walking distance. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space but easy for all of us to hang out as well. All attractions within close driving distance. Our family had a great time! Would definitely recommend!

Murrells Inlet Family Vacation

What a beautiful week. We enjoyed preparing meals in the kitchen which provided all that we needed. The pool was enjoyed by the younger grandbabies and the beach was just a block away for the older ones. The house was very clean and there was plenty of space for our family. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

Beach wedding

We rented this amazing house for my son’s wedding in the area. The house was everything we expected and more. Great location to the beach, just a short walk. And the pool and house accommodations were amazing. Plenty of room for everyone and well stocked. We have rented many houses in the area over the last 20 years and this one was the best. Thanks to Russ for accommodating our needs.

Loved our time there!

From the second we opened the door we were wowed! The house is spectacular. Cozy, comfortable, welcoming, super clean, and Beautiful. Location to beach cannot be beat! A few short steps. Wonderful little restaurants around the corner! Short ride to Murrells inlet, Marshwalk! The host was so very accomodating. We had two infants with us under 5 months and he granted us an early check in which immensely helped my daughters. We encountered a minor issue while there and the host was extremely attentive and responsive. I couldnt have asked for better communication. Fabulous place for a family vacation! Highly highly recommend. And also a short ride to Broadway at the Beach and the market common as well! Thank you Russ and Jamie ! I would vacation at your home again in a heartbeat.
