Pura Vida Villa: Luxury Coastal Retreat With Private Heated Pool

Escape to paradise at Pura Vida Villa in "Olde Murrells Inlet"! Perfectly situated moments from the ocean & the iconic bars and restaurants of Murrells Inlet's Marshwalk, this centrally located retreat offers complete serenity amidst convenience.

With a private heated pool, outdoor kitchen, and fenced-in .5-acre backyard, there's no reason to leave... But when you must, you'll have easy access to the Marina/public boat ramp, Huntington Beach State Park, charming boutiques, and fabulous golf courses.

THE SPACE
Indulge in the epitome of coastal luxury at Pura Vida Villa, where simple pleasures are cherished and time moves more slowly.

No detail was overlooked at this 4-bed, 3-bath haven. The home's interior is meticulously appointed with luxury furnishings from Anthropologie, Article, Pottery Barn, and local artisans. The fully-stocked gourmet kitchen boasts high-end essentials from Williams Sonoma, Caraway Cookware, and Pyrex, ensuring a delightful culinary experience... and has absolutely everything you'll need to prepare delicious meals with locally sourced seafood from Harrelson's or Seven Seas!

Each of the four bedrooms is adorned with sumptuous bedding from Brooklyn Bedding, Quince, and Parachute Home. Don't plan any activities too early in the morning... and get ready for the best sleep of your life!

Sleeping arrangements:
- Ze Master (Downstairs): 1 King Bed (Sleeps 2)

Whether you're on vacation or working remotely, PVV has you covered: entertainment is right at your fingertips with two 65" Samsung Frame Smart TVs, and the high-speed Eero mesh WiFi network has no dead zones throughout the home thanks to multiple WiFi repeaters.

Outdoors, your options are endless: Take a refreshing dip in the large private pool, start up a competitive game of cornhole, giant jenga or ring toss, or barbecue on the high-end Coyote grill. After a long day in the sun, unwind with a cocktail on the spacious wraparound deck or enjoy al fresco dining in the backyard.

LOCATION
Pura Vida Villa is 2 blocks (less than a 5-minute walk) from the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, a lively boardwalk with fine dining, live music, and great bars. Huntington Beach State Park is 3.9 miles (a 6-minute drive) from the villa, and an annual pass is provided so your entry is free. Garden City's public beach is a second option, only 3.5 miles away. The Waccamaw Neck Bikeway is also steps away, with 12 miles of coastline trails that you can walk or bike. If boating is more your vibe, you will be happy to hear PVV has dedicated space for boat parking...and you can see the entrance to the public boat ramp from the driveway!

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Pool heating is available for an additional $50 per day and a few days notice is needed to ensure it is up to temperature when you arrive.

The bedrooms do not have TVs, but there are two 65” TVs in the home— one in each living room—and one TV by the outdoor grill.

The left garage bay is 9’6. There is space on the side of the home suitable for boat parking.

Exterior Nest security cameras are installed on the front and back of the home for insurance purposes only. NO cameras are actively monitored for guest privacy!

Perfect Location, Great House

Beautifully decorated and perfectly located, Pura Vida has every amenity we wanted. The Den at the rear of the Main Floor provided a gathering spot around the TV for football while the Living Room served as a conversation place. We wished the weather had allowed more outdoor time since the backyard is fantastic.

Beyond amazing!!

The pictures in the listing are beautiful but even they don't do this house justice. It is absolutely stunning. From the second we booked, communication with the host was excellent. It was our first trip to Murrells Inlet and even provided a list of their top recommended places to visit and eat. The house was extremely clean and well stocked and we cannot wait to come back again!

Perfect hosts

We stayed with a group four our friends wedding and it was the perfect place for us. Communication with the hosts is seamless and efficient. Their home is fantastic and they truly have thought of everything. If there is something you need, they thought of it and it’s right there ready for you. I would absolutely stay here again!

Family Vacation

The house and property were amazing! Top notch! Very stylish and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking in the updated kitchen and on the Coyote grill by the pool. We had many nights sitting on the front porch playing games after an evening out on the Marsh Walk. It was so nice to walk to lunch or dinner or after dinner drinks without worrying about driving or calling an Uber. The location was fantastic! The parking pass to Huntington Beach park made our daily trip to the beach so easy and convenient. Perfect vacation with our young adult children. Kacey and Sean were very responsive and made our trip so easy. We highly recommend this house.

Pura Vida Villa = Perfect!

My family stayed at Pura Vida Villa for my niece's wedding in Murrells Inlet, and we could not have rented a better property. It was very clean, warm, and welcoming with the bonus of being beautiful. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were immaculate, and the kitchen was well stocked. The owners were great at giving us information for check-in and for our stay. They were readily available for any questions and/or assistance, which we didn't need due to their thorough information and extremely efficient amenities. The location can't be beat as it is within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and the beautiful Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk. We were the envy of our extended family and friends who have asked for information on booking the property in the future. We hope to return as well.

Very nice home and property

It was apparent that Kacey and Sean take pride in their home. It was well furnished. Nearly everything is provided. Even beach towels (inside joke). Kitchen was great for preparing most any food you like and the outside grill and pool area was nice. Short walk to some great restaurants and ice cream, yet the neighborhood was secluded and quiet. Our entire family was there (9 of us). Cannot really think of any negatives. What few very minor issues we had were immediately taken care of by the host's team.

We didn't want to leave.

We had a wonderful time at Pura Vida. The home was very clean and is styled to perfection yet still comfortable and cozy. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything you could need to cook and dine at home. Beach towels, beach chairs, and beach toys were available on site which was a really nice convenience for us. The home is within walking distance of the Marsh Walk and we enjoyed a few evening walks to get ice cream. The pool was a hit with everyone as well as the ample porch space which we took advantage of each morning and evening. The state park is a very short drive from the house and you can see some gators there if you drive through the park. We had a great time and hope to return soon. Couldn't ask for a better appointed property.

About the host

Hosted by Sean Gustafson

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Sean and I have been traveling for work for close to 20 years. During my travels there have been a handful of places I would always want to go back to. My goal is to have a property in each of those places! I have a long way to go to get there, but VRBO allows me to share my love for these cities while bringing me closer to my goal!

Why they chose this property

Murrells Inlet will always be a special place to me. Between the beaches, marsh, easy ocean access, and amazing food & entertainment of the Marsh Walk it has everything you would ever need for a great vacation. If that weren't enough you are a short drive to Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Litchfield, and Pawleys Island.

Olde Murrells Inlet specifically is right in the middle of it all! Steps from the Marsh Walk & boat ramp, 10 minutes to the beach, and easy access to highways to explore nearby towns make it the most convenient spot on the Grand Strand.

What makes this property unique

After a year of living on the beach I kept finding myself wanting to go to the Marsh Walk. Between the great food, live music, live sports, and themed events there is always something going on here. Add in not having to deal with beach traffic and flooding and we were sold this is the place to be.

When we found Pura Vida Villa it was love at first sight. Perfect location, wraparound porch, private pool, outdoor kitchen, and a MASSIVE back yard had us sold before we even stepped foot inside. When we did the open concept, custom cabinets, and 10 ft ceilings sealed the deal.
