Kacey and Sean’s place was a dream come true and they were super kind hosts. We LOVE South Carolina and Murrells Inlet, Huntington Beach State Park, and Pawley’s Island are our fast favorites. You just cannot beat the scenery in those spots and feel right at peace. Impossible not to relax when here. The house was spotless and well stocked. We traveled in a group of 10 and had more than adequate space to chill on the gorgeous porches (wrap around), go to the beach, float in the pool, cook a meal together and eat dinner around the large table. Tons of restaurants and fun water sport activities in walking distance (we did banana boats and parasailing) and to cool off be sure to stop by Twisters for some soft serve. We also did a day trip to Boone Hall Plantation and Charleston. If you like more touristy things and shopping, we recommend Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, and Myrtle Beach Pier, which is just a short car ride away. Wish we didn’t have to leave. -Sibylle

We’re two families with 4 teenagers who love traveling together. This place was in the perfect location for us! We loved being able to walk to the Marshwalk. The backyard was fantastic and we spent several days enjoying the pool! Beds were comfortable and the house is beautifully decorated. Definitely one of our favorite rental homes we’ve ever stayed in. We had an issue with a broken toilet seat but the hosts responded and fixed it right away even though it was a holiday! Would definitely recommend this property to anyone considering!

The house was exactly as listed (which is a big plus considering the pictures seemed great!) We visited the Huntington Beach with the pass and it was super easy with 4 kids in tow. They have a nature center with touch a tank which was also cool. We needed a place to relax yet entertain the kids between family events and the pool was perfect. There were so many extra details that they had such as extra bath soaps, extra towels (including beach towels), and everything was labeled in the kitchen which was awesome. They even had ziploc bags and wrap for food storage (things we don’t think to pack) so I loved it. The hosts were very informative and kind. Highly recommend the house for families or even a friend getaway because some bars and restaurants are down the street!

We’ve enjoyed every single moment there. Everything was up to our expectations and beyond. Wish I planed for longer stay but kids had to go back to school. I wish every AirBNB host follow and do the same. The experience was just outstanding! Thank you!

Highly highly highly recommend this place! The house and hosts were both amazing- the house was in perfect condition and the hosts were very proactive in making sure we had everything we needed. 11/10 rating and would 100% stay here again when visiting this area, I wouldn’t even bother looking anywhere else!

Last minute trip to Murrells Inlet and we were SO LUCKY to have found this home! Absolutely beautiful and perfect layout for our family! Large fenced yard and a private pool! Large porch all around the home for coffee and hanging out. The host were so responsive and kind with quick approval, recommendations on local spots and questions about the home! Highly recommend! And would love to come back next time for a girls weekend!

The home was beautifully decorated. Many of my family members loved the layout and decor. I loved cooking in the kitchen with the large island with all the Calaway cookware. It truly was a five star home.

First off, the beach in the Fall is so underrated! We got to enjoy everything I love about the beach with perfect weather—just without the tourist crowds! This home is hands-down the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. Sean and Kacey have impeccable taste—the furniture and decor elevated the entire experience. With four spacious bedrooms and additional trundle beds, the house has plenty of room for both small and large groups. The southern charm of the wraparound deck and the outdoor patio, nestled beneath stunning trees draped in Spanish moss felt like a private oasis. The location was perfect, with easy access to Huntington Beach State Park, Atalaya Castle, Brookgreen Gardens, the MarshWalk, and endless dining options in Pawleys Island. I had never been to Murrells Inlet and didn’t realize all it had to offer, but now I can’t wait to return to stay at Pura Vida Villa and will absolutely recommend this home to friends and family!
