Pop a Cork is absolutely breathtaking! As soon as you arrive you feel like you’re on private island resort. With beautiful views this peaceful retreat is perfect for your next family get-away stay. The home is located in Murrells Inlet which has everything you need nearby, without having to deal with much traffic at all. This peacefully beach town is perfect for those who want to relax. With beautifully decorated rooms and plentiful space to host all your friends and family, I think it would be impossible to feel crowed in this home. This retreat has a beautifully large island, tons of counter spaces and multiple large family tables which makes this home perfect for holidays and all celebrations. The outdoors patio and private pool feel like paradise, and a large floating dock that is perfect for your next fishing adventure. The neighborhood also has a private beach, which like I said is very private which is such a luxury. Highly Recommend you choosing Pop a Cork!

Stunning views, luxurious amenities, spacious home. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our Girls Weekend at Pop-a-Cork. I’ve never stayed in a more beautiful home situated along arguably one of the most beautiful views along the South Carolina coast. This home is situated along a secluded cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood, but does not lack accessibility to great restaurants or fun activities. However, the house was so beautiful and comfortable that we truly never wanted to leave. Our party was fully entertained in this home even in the middle of a cold January. The inside was filled with everything that we needed and the outdoor area could keep you entertained forever. The hosts were always responsive and so helpful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this home. If you’re on the fence about booking, I can assure you that you’d never regret your stay at Pop-a-Cork.
