About this house rental
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.
Portofino I is a small neighborhood of only 10 homes in the Garden City Beach area of Murrells Inlet, with direct beach access.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
The location was excellent, close to the beach and the pool. Liked that the one master bedroom had a twin bed, too, for a young child. The kitchen was well stocked.

Absolutely PERFECT spot for a Dads Myrtle Beach weekend golf getaway. Centrally located to the courses both north and south. PLENTY of space in a beautiful location directly on the beach. Pool is basically connected and we were the only group in it over the weekend. Felt like our own. Just an awesome, awesome space with a tremendous beach. The views from the patio each morning were worth the price of admission. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Myrtle.

We enjoyed our stay at Mermaid's Delight! The house is just steps from the beach. We enjoyed ocean views from both levels of the home. The house was clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was great within walking distance to the pier, and the host made communication and check in seamless. We will definitely book again!

Our trip was ruined by a hurricane and we were only at the property for 3 days and had to leave and we were not offered any money back at all not very happy about the owner not offering us money back knowing we couldn’t stay with the weather
