Kingfisher Inn

The Resort & Setting

Kingfisher Inn sits at 100 N Waccamaw Dr in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, with condo units that open directly onto the ocean — most with their own balcony for morning coffee or evening breezes. The resort keeps things simple: an outdoor pool for days you'd rather skip the sand, and direct beach access for the days you wouldn't. Google reviewers rate it 4.1 out of 5 across 283 reviews, describing it as a casual, no-frills beachfront stay rather than a flashy resort complex. As an independent property, Kingfisher Inn isn't tied to a major hotel or timeshare brand, but it is RCI-affiliated, so owners can tap into RCI's exchange network whenever they'd like a change of scenery.

Murrells Inlet & the Grand Strand

Murrells Inlet has long been known as the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina," and the MarshWalk — a boardwalk lined with waterfront restaurants and live music — is one of the main reasons people keep coming back. Beyond the seafood, the inlet is a working fishing village with charter boats, marina views, and salt marsh scenery that feels a world away from the high-rises further up the coast. Murrells Inlet sits within the wider Grand Strand, the roughly 60-mile stretch of South Carolina coastline that includes Myrtle Beach's shops, golf courses, and entertainment, all within easy reach for a day trip. For a quieter outdoor option, Huntington Beach State Park is nearby, with its undeveloped beach, salt marsh boardwalk, and birdwatching trails.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Kingfisher Inn and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers. This keeps more of the proceeds in your pocket compared with traditional resale brokers.

Because Kingfisher Inn is an independent resort, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded developer process. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee so both parties know the full cost of taking on the week — these figures aren't published by the brand and can change, so always confirm directly with Kingfisher Inn. If the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, that should also be confirmed before finalizing a sale.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward things: proximity to the beach, a usable kitchen, a balcony with a view, and a pool as a backup option. Kingfisher Inn's direct beach access and ocean-view condos tick the boxes that most short-term renters look for in Murrells Inlet.

Practical Notes for Owners & Buyers

A resale buyer at Kingfisher Inn should expect to take on the usage rights tied to the week purchased, along with ongoing annual maintenance fees — but not necessarily any perks or promotions that were offered to the original purchaser by the resort. If RCI exchange access matters to you, confirm with the resort or association that the specific week and unit remain enrolled, since exchange eligibility can depend on how the week is deposited and maintained. For both sellers and buyers, it's worth getting transfer costs, annual fees, and any right-of-first-refusal terms in writing from the resort before closing a private sale.

Planning a Visit

Murrells Inlet sees warmer, busier months through summer and quieter shoulder periods in spring and fall, which tend to suit travellers who prefer lighter crowds on the MarshWalk and easier beach parking. Whether you're renting a week or visiting as an owner, book ahead for peak summer dates and holiday weekends, as beachfront availability along this stretch of the Grand Strand fills up early.
