Beachfront House - Dogs OK - Pool, Near Golf

At Mermaid’s Delight you wake up to the sun rising over the Atlantic and sip your coffee on the deck while the waves roll in. This single-family beachfront house in Murrells Inlet sits behind natural dunes, a rare find in a market of condos. Watch the kids splash in the pool, shared by only 10 homes, then walk down to the sand. Dogs welcome. Made for family beach weeks, golf getaways, and quiet off-season escapes.

Ocean views from every level. Both king rooms look out over the water and share a balcony, perfect for the first coffee of the day. The main level opens to a deck with stairs down to the pool and the beach, so you can watch the kids in the water while you cook or relax. There’s room for the whole family: two king rooms, plus two bunk rooms for kids and cousins. The kitchen is fully equipped, laundry is in the house, and 500 Mbps fiber WiFi covers the whole home. The master suite has a work space and each bedroom has a Roku TV. Linens and towels are included, along with starter supplies for the kitchen and bath. Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, and boogie boards are provided, and yoga mats and a Pilates kit are ready for morning workouts.

Dogs are welcome: up to 2 at $75 per night, with no deposit. Morning walks start right at the dunes.

The whole house is yours. The pool, beach access, outdoor showers, and grass area are shared with only the 10 homes in Portofino I. The pool is heated April through October and Thanksgiving week. Parking: room for up to 4 cars, under the house and on the driveway, one behind the other. No parking pass needed. A free public lot about 250 feet south is available for daytime overflow.
