About this property

Close to the Ocean Senior/Pet friendly Great Rates!

Relax and enjoy your vacation time in well equipped, close to the beach, three bedroom, one and a half bath cottage in a private cul de sac on Jacana. Recently remodeled with, updates like new flooring, kitchen cabinets and countertops, along with a new full bath, will allow you to enjoy morning coffee or afternoon cocktails on the screened in front porch as you enjoy the breezy setting for this cozy home. Supplied with all the conveniences including staple items like paper towels, trash bags and TP for a family, the home can handle everything from a barbecued steak, a blender of Pina Coladas, a bag of microwave popcorn or a batch of homemade cookies. With one level living, and the open floor plan, the home is great for seniors and families with youngsters.

In addition, guests get linen and towel use, or simply bring your own and use the full-size washer and dryer when needed. Amuse the young ones with the new 42' flat screen or the other cable TV. HDMI connections allow streaming of Netflix or other computer video files right on the TV. Select a DVD/blue ray for quiet times or family viewing. With just a 5-minute walk to the beach, enjoy the use of either of the 2 bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, fishing poles, skim boards, snorkeling flippers, sand toys and other beach equipment there for use. The open-air outdoor shower is a treat for sandy beach goers, and the golf cart offers convenient parking at the beach with a lot less clean up when sand makes its way to the family vehicle. Others may simply enjoy either of the two village pools, and not to mention the Tupelo Bay golf center just across the street. If you're sharing your vacation time with others, the home has accommodations for two vehicles for off street parking, so more than one couple can enjoy this great vacation site.

We had a wonderful week-long rental in Murrell's Inlet. The accommodations were comfortable and provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect, offering easy access to the beach and local attractions. We truly enjoyed our time exploring the area and soaking up the sun. It was a memorable vacation that we would happily repeat.

Great location and it is a well kept property. I really enjoyed the ability to sit on the screened in porch. The ability to smoke tobacco responsibly on the screened in porch as well as bring our dog, clinched our personal choice. It is also Senior-Friendly. Golf cart available for use was awesome.

About the host

Hosted by Michael & Mary Jo Merriam

Host profile image
We are transplanted New Yorkers here at the beach since 2007. As a married couple since 1987, we are on the brink of enjoying our retirement years. We found Oceanside Village the best place to vacation when we wanted to come to the beach from up in the mountains of NY, and have felt blessed that we were able to offer a place for others to enjoy now that we live here. We realize most families may only get one beach trip per year, or maybe only one vacation, and some save all year to come to the ocean. It has been our mission to make sure we do all we can to make each stay the best we can for our guests. We wanted to express our many thanks to the scores of guests that have stayed with us since we opened the beach house to families back in 2006. Our number of repeat guests has increased steadily as the experience of hosting families over this time has made us better hosts. Since we had vacationed here at the beach for many years, we understand each guest's desire to have an enjoyable, incident free, visit when they stay with us. Since we live here too, have put our guest's accommodations our highest priority to earn the repeat visitors that have made this rental so successful. We have made mistakes, had to offer refunds, and nights out on us that have popped up when we had to step for our guests. We've had an occasion guest not able to follow through with their reservations and have been able to offer discounts on other visits when a full refund was not able to be returned. Our policy is and has always been, 'Is this the way I would want to be treated if I was a guest here?' Someday we hope to call our cozy beach house our permanent residence and enjoy the village and the ocean full time.

Why they chose this property

We bought this vacation home after renting it for 4 straight years. It is only 5 minutes to the ocean on foot, a neat place, and in a great neighboorhood spot. Oceanside village is right across the street from the market, a great golf center and, and a one stop convenience store. The community with the pools, fields, and activities plus the gated security made it the perfect community for us to vacation in. We like the one level living, the open floor plan, and the great site the house sits on. As guests we had stayed at many different homes in the village, and did have issues with some. After the many repeat visits to the house on Jacana, we never bothered to look for any place else to stay. There are some places bigger and more expensive to rent in the village, and we've had to look out for large groups, (8-10 or more) to advise them that we may not have the ideal accommodation. We apologize to those guests expecting a 'white glove'/5 star hotel room type of accommodation, and have always put value and comfort over luxury and the red carpet impressions only the most demanding guests are expecting. Luckily, our guests have confirmed that we have been successful as some are already in contact with us about future visits before leaving the one they are currently enjoying. Every spring we attempt to tackle the next project that we feel makes the house a better place to stay, and take great pride as hosts for those new to us, or returning for another visit.

What makes this property unique

Early morning sun warms the front porch where we begin our day with newspapers or magazines and coffee. A huge live oak tree provides enough shade so as we plan our day, the yard stays protected from the typical summer sun. After a day at the beach the outdoor shower could not be more inviting and convenient for us to plan our night after the sand. For nights at home, the outdoor grilling patio, along with the breeze on the front porch make relaxing around the house as inviting as a small community neighborhood can get. It doesn't get much better. Pets can be corralled in the semi fenced in yard, and if you've had the experience of staying in a home where you felt like you were in a parking space at a local Walmart, this home site will be an experience you'll appreciate unlike any other.
