About the host
Hosted by Sean Gustafson
Hello! My name is Sean and I have been traveling for work for close to 20 years. During my travels there have been a handful of places I would always want to go back to. My goal is to have a property in each of those places! I have a long way to go to get there, but VRBO allows me to share my love for these cities while bringing me closer to my goal!
Why they chose this property
Murrells Inlet will always be a special place to me. Between the beaches, marsh, easy ocean access, and amazing food & entertainment of the Marsh Walk it has everything you would ever need for a great vacation. If that weren't enough you are a short drive to Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Litchfield, and Pawleys Island.
Olde Murrells Inlet specifically is right in the middle of it all! Steps from the Marsh Walk & boat ramp, 10 minutes to the beach, and easy access to highways to explore nearby towns make it the most convenient spot on the Grand Strand.
What makes this property unique
After a year of living on the beach I kept finding myself wanting to go to the Marsh Walk. Between the great food, live music, live sports, and themed events there is always something going on here. Add in not having to deal with beach traffic and flooding and we were sold this is the place to be.
When we found Pura Vida Villa it was love at first sight. Perfect location, wraparound porch, private pool, outdoor kitchen, and a MASSIVE back yard had us sold before we even stepped foot inside. When we did the open concept, custom cabinets, and 10 ft ceilings sealed the deal.
