Our living room, offers a double reclining couch to sit and watch a good movie on our 60 inch flat screen television.

We were traveling and made a last-minute plan to stay in Myrtle Beach. Reached out to Raymond and Barbara and they were more than accommodating for our overnight stay. The place was clean, perfectly appointed, comfortable, and easily accessed. We’re super appreciative of such a great find and even greater hosts.

Shelby family vacation, my husband and I, our 2 adult children and our 2 grandchildren.

This place was very nice. It worked out perfect for our family.We walked to the beach at least twice a day. Had most of everything we needed. So sorry for the inconvenience of setting off the fire detector just about every time we used the oven. Thank you!

The property was beautiful. The layout was set up in a great way to keep a watchful eye on the kids. Thanks to everything the owners left us we were able to keep the place clean as well as leaving it close to as clean as we found it.

Amazing beach house in excellent location!

Our family of 7 (ages 8-adult) stayed 5 days at the Marlin for our first vacation to Myrtle Beach, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic! The home was beautiful, clean, and cozy. Ray and Barb had everything covered to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The location was within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and multiple mini golf courses. The pool was great to have during the extremely hot days when we did not want to venture to the beach, and it was a short 10 minute drive to many other attractions (Broadway at the Beach, the boardwalk, and the Hollywood Wax Museum to name a few). The Marlin is an affordable gem of a home, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Our first trip to Myrtle Beach and it couldn't have been nicer. The property was just a few minutes walk to the beach. It is close enough to go whenever you would like yet far enough away to enjoy some quiet time. Glad we booked our vacation here.

Great Weekend Trip

My family and I had a great time on our trip. The property was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to be able to travel without having to bring kitchen or beach supplies. Ray and Barb were easy to get in touch with and were very helpful. Would definitely recommend to a family looking for a close spot to the beach.

Great time!

My family and I really had a great time at the Marlin. It was very clean, stocked with utensils and nicely decorated. It was my sons first time at the beach and he loved it. The beach is a very short walk and was clean. We loved the pool as well. The little back patio was great for keeping everything for the beach secure without getting sand everywhere inside. I would definitely stay here again.

Good experience, nice place!

Only about 2 blocks from the beach. Less than a block away from an adventure mini golf place as well as beachwear shopping. Walmart 3 blocks away. Quieter area than compared to the 'broadway' area, which is a mile or two drive away. We didn't mind that at all, but worth noting if you're looking for something right in the middle of everything. We were there for youth baseball at the Ripken Experience, which was only 2-3 miles/10-15 minutes away. Very simple drive. Also close to the airport. Parking was simple, right in front of the property. 3 bedrooms with one of them having a bunk bed (plus two full bathrooms) was a good fit for our family of five (plus Grandma in tow to make it 6). The grill on the patio came in handy, as did their beach cat to wheel our stuff to and from the beach. They supplied beach towels, and some beach chairs/related, which were also convenient. Pool was very close by (it's a community pool with a code to get in), and was well kept and clean. Ray and Barb were easy to work with, and accommodating. They were also prompt to respond to my outreach with various questions. I would stay here again whenever we decide to go back to MB!

About the host

Hosted by Ray & Barb

Host profile image
We are a Family of four. We are your average Family that loves the outdoors and definitely the beach. We loved to camp out at Assateague Island in Maryland, where the horses run free. The surf fishing was what the boys loved to do and the girls loved hanging at the beach. We all worked hard every day, like all that have a dream. In 2010 we came to Myrtle Beach and found our little oasis. We all loved this little quaint home as our son called it "Fun Size". Our Family volunteered a lot in our community from coaching baseball, softball, soccer, hockey, Fire Department and town activities.

Why they chose this property

We like the proximity to the beach. restaurants, and attractions. We also think The Marlin will be our future retirement home.

What makes this property unique

We like having all the living space with three bedrooms all on one floor. We like knowing that we can have an easy walk to the beach.
