This little cottage was just fantastic! The first thing I noticed when I opened the door was how clean it smelled and for me that was all I needed!! Everything is included here for the best beach vacation - even a cart to use to take your things to the beach. Check-in and check-out process was easy peasy. The host was readily available if we needed anything, which we didn’t, but was nice to know that they were very responsive to messages. Perfect location within walking distance to the beach! We couldn’t have asked for anything more! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Ray & Barb

Host profile image
We are a Family of four. We are your average Family that loves the outdoors and definitely the beach. We loved to camp out at Assateague Island in Maryland, where the horses run free. The surf fishing was what the boys loved to do and the girls loved hanging at the beach. We all worked hard every day, like all that have a dream. In 2010 we came to Myrtle Beach and found our little oasis. We all loved this little quaint home as our son called it "Fun Size". Our Family volunteered a lot in our community from coaching baseball, softball, soccer, hockey, Fire Department and town activities.

Why they chose this property

We like the proximity to the beach. restaurants, and attractions. We also think The Marlin will be our future retirement home.

What makes this property unique

We like having all the living space with three bedrooms all on one floor. We like knowing that we can have an easy walk to the beach.
