Bike Week 2021

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lynda’s Legacy. The home was clean and we’ll maintained. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to prepare a family meal. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable and spacious. The location was perfect, just a short block walk to the beach. The provided beach accessories were perfect and lessened the necessities we needed to bring. I highly recommend this beautiful beach home and look forward to a return trip there in the future.

A great getaway at the beach

A well maintained house with a short walk to the beach. We are two families, each with a 4 year old boy and the house had plenty of space for us all. It was very clean and presented exactly as advertised. The TV is run via an app, which is a little spotty at times but we weren't really there to watch TV. We stayed on the beach each morning and afternoon and were able to walk back for lunch midday. I would definitely stay there again.

Lynda’s Legacy had everything our family needed on vacation

Lynda’s Legacy had private spaces for my teenagers and even for me and my husband. It was just a short walk to the beach. The house was sparkling clean and smelled amazing as we walked in. Although it was rainy during our vacation week, there was a nice puzzle and monopoly for us to pass the time. We would definitely stay here again

Home Away from Home

This was a wonderful property with close and easy access to the beach. A beach wagon was provided, so it made for an easy process to transport beach chairs, etc. The home is exactly as pictured. The beds were super comfortable, and the home provided everything that you would need for your stay. You can tell that a lot of love was put into this home, and we would definitely stay here again.

The house is beautifully renovated and is a very short walk to the beach via a public access. Well-equipped and in great shape. Quiet street less than a mile from the pier.

Wonderful getaway!

My family and I absolutely LOVED our stay. The house is beautiful. Impressive and well-done updates and super clean throughout. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for food prep, making quick meals a breeze so we could get back to the beach. The beach access is so close-- a 700 ft straight shot to be exact. We loved how easy it was to get there, along with the incredible seafood along the Murrells Inlet strip. We even took a few trips to Myrtle/North Myrtle (which was only a 30-40 minute driving give or take). We really enjoyed having an area to do laundry, along with the amount of privacy the three bedrooms provided. My boyfriend also appreciated the two outdoor showers (one to rinse off that also had a hose to rinse out our beach gear, and another private shower area for him to clean up in while I took over one of the two full bathrooms). It is clear there was a lot of love put into this property, and we are so grateful to have had the pleasure of being guests. Many, many thanks!

FIRST TIME SNOWBIRD

For a first-time snowbird, we did not really know what to expect, arriving in Murrells Inlet (Myrtle Beach). The house was located in the perfect spot, being 200 yards from the fabulous beach and within 5 minutes drive of everything you could need. Supermarkets, golf courses, mini-golf, restaurants and bars. It really was a fabulous location on a very quiet street. The house itself had been fully and very tastefully renovated and was as new. The owner was a very easy-going and likeable lady who ensured we were enjoying her home and that we had everything we needed. We contacted her very rarely, but always received immediate and very courteous responses. Our stay was sadly cut short by the coronavirus, but we are still hopeful to be able to return in 2 years time and renew our instant attraction to South Carolina, made even more enjoyable by our stay at Lynda's Legacy. Thanks Wanda.

Loved the location!!!

The home was great..just one block from ocean. We stayed for 4 weeks and it was convenient to everything. I thought the first floor meant ground level so the stairs were a little difficult since I fell before we left home and going up and down was trying for a few days. We would recommend this home to anyone. J. Pierfy Hamilton, NJ

Fantasctic house, lovely stay

Very lovely home. Perfect for relaxation, very easy access to beach. Lovely deck for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Quiet yet close to main attractions of the area, stores, and restaurants. The only suggestion I have is that the home could use a good deep cleaning. You may want to consider hiring a different cleaning service. I would surely rent again, we enjoyed our stay very much.
