Overview
Living in Murrells Inlet
Murrells Inlet sits at the north end of the Waccamaw Neck, built around a working saltwater inlet and the half-mile MarshWalk that lines it. The village grew from a fishing community into a year-round town where shrimp boats, kayak launches and restaurant decks share the same water. [Zach: add your own history and the parts of the story only a resident tells.]
The housing mix is unusually broad for one zip code: true creek-front homes with private docks, gated golf communities like Wachesaw Plantation and Blackmoor, the master-planned Prince Creek neighborhoods, and older established streets near the inlet. That range is why two Murrells Inlet homes can be priced very differently on the same day. [verify current ranges.]
People move here for the water and stay for the practicality — Highway 17 access, Tidelands Health and medical offices nearby, Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park down the road, and roughly [verify] minutes to Myrtle Beach International Airport and [verify] to Charleston. Golf is everywhere, boating is the point, and the MarshWalk is the town's living room.

For sellers
Selling in Murrells Inlet
Selling in Murrells Inlet means pricing at the neighborhood level. A creek-front cottage, a Prince Creek family home and a Wachesaw estate answer to completely different buyer pools, and a town-wide median tells you almost nothing about your street. [verify with current closings.]
Water and insurance questions come up in nearly every contract here: flood zone, elevation certificate, current premium, dock permits and HOA or POA transfer fees. Zach gathers these before the home hits the market so due diligence does not turn into a renegotiation.
