We were traveling and made a last-minute plan to stay in Myrtle Beach. Reached out to Raymond and Barbara and they were more than accommodating for our overnight stay. The place was clean, perfectly appointed, comfortable, and easily accessed. We’re super appreciative of such a great find and even greater hosts.

Amazing beach house in excellent location!

Our family of 7 (ages 8-adult) stayed 5 days at the Marlin for our first vacation to Myrtle Beach, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic! The home was beautiful, clean, and cozy. Ray and Barb had everything covered to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The location was within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and multiple mini golf courses. The pool was great to have during the extremely hot days when we did not want to venture to the beach, and it was a short 10 minute drive to many other attractions (Broadway at the Beach, the boardwalk, and the Hollywood Wax Museum to name a few). The Marlin is an affordable gem of a home, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Shelby family vacation, my husband and I, our 2 adult children and our 2 grandchildren.

This place was very nice. It worked out perfect for our family.We walked to the beach at least twice a day. Had most of everything we needed. So sorry for the inconvenience of setting off the fire detector just about every time we used the oven. Thank you!

Good experience, nice place!

Only about 2 blocks from the beach. Less than a block away from an adventure mini golf place as well as beachwear shopping. Walmart 3 blocks away. Quieter area than compared to the 'broadway' area, which is a mile or two drive away. We didn't mind that at all, but worth noting if you're looking for something right in the middle of everything. We were there for youth baseball at the Ripken Experience, which was only 2-3 miles/10-15 minutes away. Very simple drive. Also close to the airport. Parking was simple, right in front of the property. 3 bedrooms with one of them having a bunk bed (plus two full bathrooms) was a good fit for our family of five (plus Grandma in tow to make it 6). The grill on the patio came in handy, as did their beach cat to wheel our stuff to and from the beach. They supplied beach towels, and some beach chairs/related, which were also convenient. Pool was very close by (it's a community pool with a code to get in), and was well kept and clean. Ray and Barb were easy to work with, and accommodating. They were also prompt to respond to my outreach with various questions. I would stay here again whenever we decide to go back to MB!

Cute Beach House conveniently located!

My family enjoyed this cute beach house during our recent trip for a baseball event at the Ripken Experience. The house was really clean and conveniently located to shops, a Walmart grocery, mini-golf, restaurants and only a quick walk to the beach (felt like 2 blocks). We loved that they provided all the beach items you needed! Safe, clean & cute, we’ll remember this spot for future trips.
