Murrells InletThe "Seafood Capital of South Carolina" — the half-mile MarshWalk boardwalk, eight working-waterfront seafood houses, and the pirate-history salt-marsh estuary at the southern end of the Grand Strand

Murrells Inlet is the salt-marsh half of the southern Grand Strand — an unincorporated village fifteen minutes south of Myrtle Beach proper, built around a four-mile tidal estuary that's been a working fishing village since at least the 1700s. The half-mile elevated MarshWalk boardwalk along the spartina creek is the heart of the town: eight seafood houses (Drunken Jack's, Wahoo's, Dead Dog Saloon, Wicked Tuna, Bovine's, Crazy Sister, Gilligan's, and Bubba Love Shak) line the creek with deck-side seating, live music seven nights a week most of the year, and the Veterans Pier shrimp-boat fleet unloading the day's catch a few yards over. Brookgreen Gardens' 9,100-acre sculpture park and Huntington Beach State Park's Atalaya Castle ruins both sit ten minutes south on US-17.

Most of our Murrells Inlet rentals sit at the Garden City Beach line a few minutes north on the Atlantic side — Royal Garden Resort, Waters Edge Resort, and the Duneside cluster all face direct oceanfront with shared pools, hot tubs, and on-site beach bars. The MarshWalk is a five-minute drive south on US-17; Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park another five. The Garden City Pier sits a half-mile north of the resorts; Wild Water & Wheels family park is a mile inland.
