About this property

This is a rare and unique creek house located on the creek in Murrells Inlet. It has been in our family for more than 100 years, and has been renovated and updated inside for comfort and modern conveniences The house comes with a private dock built in 2017, and a floating dock if you wish to bring your boat. We are 1/4 mile south of the public boat ramp in Murrells Inlet. Plenty of parking on our lot for boat trailers. Electric power and fresh water hoses on dock. Dock is new since 2016, and it has electric power and fresh water available. There is a floating dock, and a fish cleaning station on the dock. The creek is navigable at all tides from the dock, and there is a swim ladder on the dock. Guests can enjoy activities such as swimming, fishing, crabbing, oystering, clamming, and boat riding. Free Kayaking from our floating dock is made easy. We have 5 kayaks and 4 bicycles which are included. Owner, with permission, sometimes has access to his boat, which is kept separate from the dock on a boat lift. This will not unduly interfere with your use of the dock.
Beaches (Pawleys Island, Litchfield, and Garden City) are minutes away by car. Renown Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington State Park, 3 miles away, are jewels on the Grand Strand. The public boat ramp is 1/4 mile to our north.
This property has almost a acre of land on the Inlet under beautiful 300 year old live oaks and has a great grassy front yard near the Inlet which is a safe , wonderful play area for children. Please bring life jackets for smaller children so that they can fish, crab, and play on the dock. Bring you own fishing gear.
This is one of the few remaining original creek houses left on the waterfront, and is full of nostalgia and history. We have many who book a year in advance to return.
Laid back, restful, quiet and private.
The house is wheelchair assessable.

Marshmere was Fantastic

We enjoyed our stay at Marshmere. The house and yard were wonderful and spacious, and the proximity to everything in Murrells Inlet cannot be beat.

Family & Fishing

Overall we had a great stay at Marshmere. We had our son and daughter and their partners join us for the week at Murrells Inlet to get away from work and spend time together, as it’s hard to do when they get older and move out. We really enjoyed the use of the dock for our boat, to only have to put in at the marina once for the week instead of daily in and out like in years past. That was a huge draw to the property for us. We love fishing more than we love the beach but we also liked being a few miles away from both the state park and public beaches of Garden City and Myrtle Beach for visiting a couple of days. We loved the location near the Marshwalk. Our grown kids walked to dinner a couple of times as a group and the girls walked to the coffee shop next to Creek Ratz daily. The porch was great even in the rain, and the hammock was a welcome nap spot. The only caution I would give future vacationers is that it is very hard to control the temperature on both sides of the house. It would be freezing on one side and rather warm in another no matter the adjustments to the HVAC, so bring layers. I didn’t bring joggers or jacket, but I would next time. Also, the owners do state that they reserve the right to access their boat during our stay; they showed up multiple days during our week. While the owners did do a good job of staying in touch, it was not in the VRBO app as we were used to. Overall 4/5.

About the host

Hosted by Mr. Rice

This is a family house and dock, which has been in our family for 100 years.
We require all renters to take special care of our beloved property, and are
glad share our treasure with deserving, caring visitors. One of the last old creek houses on the Inlet, modernized and comfortable for current use.

Why they chose this property

We cater to young couples with children, families and small family reunions, fishermen and water themed users. Rules: Those who anticipate having house parties, men's golf groups, and college breaks would much prefer Myrtle Beach to Marshmere. We do not allow guests to have noisy parties in the yard, no weddings, or other events which may disturb our neighbors. We are zoned residential, and we wish to maintain the quiet solitude and ambiance we have come to know in Murrells Inlet. Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age, and of reputable character.
