Charming Waterfront Cottage – Private Dock, Panoramic Views, and park passes!

**History, charm, private dock, panoramic marsh views, walk to restaurants, on the bike path, includes passes to Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens**

The former home of one of the founding families of this famed fishing village and pioneers in transforming this area into the seafood capital of South Carolina, this historic cottage is steeped in vintage charm. From the expansive wrap-around lawn and dock, you can gaze out at the untouched and pristine Huntington Beach State Park.

We are conveniently located directly on the Waccamaw Neck Bikeway, an 18-mile multi-purpose path that trails through Huntington Beach State Park on its way to Pawleys Island. The Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, lined with seafood restaurants, is just 2 miles north. There are also two restaurants within very short walking distance of the house, Graham's Landing Seafood and Southern Hops Brewery. Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens are 1.5 miles south and both accessible along the bike path. A pass for Huntington Beach State Park and tickets to Brookgreen Gardens are included in your stay.

Our dock has a cozy seating area perfect for a morning cup of coffee, placing you in the middle of one of the most beautiful views in Murrells Inlet. The dock is also perfect for fishing, crabbing, and launching your canoe or kayak, but boat docking is not permitted. (Fishing and crabbing supplies, kayaks, and canoes are not provided.)

More about the history of the home:
In the 1950s, Clarence Morse opened the first oyster roast restaurant in Murrells Inlet a short distance away in what is now known as Morse Park Landing. Morse’s home has been maintained and restored, keeping its original design and feel. We are proud to be able to provide our guests the ability to enjoy the seafood capital of South Carolina, while staying under the same roof as one its legendary founders.

At its heart, Murrells Inlet remains a laid back fishing village and this is uniquely personified by Huntington View Inn. As the years pass by, the area around us has grown and become a busy place, but here time seems to be frozen. The land remains the same, our sandy banks unchanged, and inlet views unwavering.

Other things to note:
This is a Duplex. You will have the entire upstairs house with a separate entrance, living spaces, AC controls, and designated parking. No motorcycles allowed. No pets allowed. These policies are out of our control, no exceptions. Not suitable for children under 8.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a kitchen island.

Vintage Murrells Inlet on the Marsh

This house is exactly as advertised and spotlessly clean. If you love watching the sun rise over the marsh in a well-maintained classic Inlet home, this is the place for you. The hosts were so responsive and helpful. The Huntington State Park pass and Brookgreen pass add extra value to this rental.

Everything was wonderful and as expected. Charming beach cottage that has been lived in with lots of memories. There was a slight scent of mold that I detected. No issue for me, but someone who is highly sensitive needs to be aware. To be expected in an old house with lots of books. That being said, it was cozy and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Would stay again. Someone captured it well in a previous review, It felt like coming home to Grandma's house.

Quaint and quirky, perfect-for-us stay!

My family selected this vacation home for our stay because it was very close to Huntington Beach State Park. We enjoyed the quaint antique decor and the spacious property. The house had everything we needed (and very nice sheets/bedding as well!) along with a lovely view of the sound. When we had trouble with the keypad on the door, our hosts were prompt problem solvers. I’d certainly come back.

An amazing value!

This cozy, vintage home was located so conveniently to the attractions in Murrels Inlet. We loved that it came with a pass to Huntington Beach--which we visited every day of the trip (the beach was so nice!). The garden tickets were also much appreciated (the zoo was a hit with the kids!). The house itself is very spacious for the price and my kids really liked that they each go their own bed. The views from the deck were great and even though we didn't catch any fish from the dock we had a really fun time watching all the crabs, jellyfish and birds. The location was quite and easy to get to. I can't recommend this place enough!

On the inlet

We truly enjoyed our stay for the most part! We loved the location on the inlet with a dock—fished from the dock almost every day, loved the hammock and chairs outside along with the breezy porch during thunderstorms. The rental is all upstairs, but that was disclosed in the listing, and no problems going up and down stairs. We also loved being so close to restaurants both within walking distance and driving distance. We used two tickets to the Brookgreens Gardens, and it was so great to see the gardens and the animals! We didn’t know how much we had been missing out! The weather was beautiful for most of the week and we had a great time using the free pass provided to Huntington State Park! The listing was mostly accurate; I would just add pictures of the two bathrooms that were very small with little to no space to put items while getting ready. The mirrors in the bedroom were helpful to put on makeup and do hair for when we went to dinner. The floors were overlooked while cleaning and they were sandy, but we swept and all was well. Overall, we had a fabulous relaxing week!

Jordan was very helpful and in contact throughout the week. The house was exactly as described and very welcoming. We have our annual family trip every year around this time and our family loves the inlet and fishing. We booked this when our normal location was booked bc we had to change our normal week. Glad we found this little piece of heaven. The host was very accommodating and even though i failed to read the part ab no boats, and limited parking she went above and beyond to pacify the neighbors and being they are all family in the area it worked out. The house being a part of Murrells inlet history just made our fishing vacation that much better. It is close to everything yet far away from everything at the same time. I would recommend this place a thousand times over. However i will say dont bring a boat(kayak would have been great) dont bring very small children ( our grandson is 2 and was a joy for us but being we were over the owners downstairs im pretty sure they were glad to see us go and the house is full of antiques and decor that we had to constantly be on our toes to keep him away(spent a lot of money and time with toys to keep him busy) yet the host stil allowed us to have a great week. She offered passes,and tickets to events in the area and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Again this is a great place to relax, enjoy fishing from the pier or sitting by the inlet enjoying a fire.

Slice of Heaven - Came as Strangers - Left as Friends

This historical gem offered the most relaxing vacation you could ever imagine. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The bedrooms are all large and spacious with crisp, fresh linens and comfortable bedding. The bathrooms are smaller but certainly adequate. The kitchen is loaded with anything you need to prepare and serve meals if you choose. History abounds with splashes of beach themed touches and charming decorations. We loved the screened sun porch and then the separate side porch with many places to sit and relax. Our favorite was the big comfortable cushioned chairs by the marsh. We spent mornings with our coffee and tea watching the plethora of birds singing and looking for breakfast. Fish jumping to tease them and fisherman nearby. In the evening, the lights strung throughout the trees added a magical touch with their reflection on the water. If you are looking for a hotel or condo experience this is not the place for you. But if you like the charm and history of an older and solid home with an eclectic mix of old and new, a place where you can immerse yourself in nature and truly relax, don’t pass up this magical experience for everyone of all ages. Ginger is lovely and we felt like we were kindred spirits. We loved the adorable gift and used the passes for Huntington Beach State Park - which is amazing and Brookgreen Gardens which was an incredible experience. We can’t wait to return to this very, very special slice of heaven on earth.
