We stayed in a small 1 BD cottage. Although small, it had everything we needed. We loved the front porch with rocking chairs. The pool at the inn is exceptionally clean and the beach and boardwalk are within 5 minutes of walking. They even provided us with umbrella, chair and beach toys. Would stay again.
The property was adorable! The owners were very attentive and communication was a breeze. Loved being able to see the ocean from our cottage and just walk to the beach.

Professional and courteous staff, affordable stay, the cottage was clean and had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Comfortable bedding, plenty of space to not feel cooped up like you do in a hotel. Feels like spending a weekend in a vacation home. The yard space was great for kids to play when we weren’t out and about. There are yard games out there but the tree swing was where the kiddos spent their time. All in highly recommend and will be my go to for all future Myrtle beach trips.
Had a wonderful stay at the Darlington. Staff was amazing and super friendly. Right across the street from the Boardwalk, the beach and fishing pier with restaurant. The cottage we stayed in was built in the 1940’s and was very cute and comfortable. This is a local family run business and they take pride in what they do. If you want a high rise, high end resort this isn’t the place for you. But if you want a cozy, CLEAN, mom and pop where they will treat you like family, then you’ll love it. We will definitely make the Darlington our go to when in MB!

Don’t stay here!!
The owner was friendly, but the cottage itself was horrible. The fridge and freezer didn’t work. We lost over $100 in groceries. When we talked to the owner, he made excuses that our food wasn’t cold enough when we put it in the fridge. We came right from the grocery store and our ice cream literally turned to soup overnight in the freezer! The washer only worked on the smallest load setting. The beds were as hard as a rock. We killed 4 cockroaches and the place really needs a deep cleaning!! The toilet roll holder was broken, the towel rack was pure rust, the bath tub drain backed up every time we showered, and there was a live animal living under the floor making a lot of noise, which we also mentioned to the owner, who just confirmed that there was a lot of wild life around. The living room furniture was stained and dirty. The location was amazing. Other than that, a really disappointing stay. Please spend your money elsewhere.
Management was great very good communication. Was in walking distance to pier and beach could walk to almost anything we wanted to do. Cottage was spacious for family.

We loved the property. It was quiet, clean, and relaxing and within minutes of the beach and boardwalk.
The property is old with minimum upkeep. Front door deadbolt and knob are worn to the point where the door moved 3/8 inch when locks are engaged. Several old locks are still installed in door. Entire door and frame needs to be replaced. Bathtub is too high to enter/exit comfortably and more water comes out of faucet than showerhead. Second bathroom shower is really small.

Fantastic & Wonderful !
Sea Gables Cottage - truly delightful! With great pleasure, we hereby declare Darlington Cottages as our 1st choice for our eventual return to Myrtle Beach! My wife, our two kids and I just finished a 6-night stay at Darlington's Sea Gables Cottage from 7/27 - 8/2. Darlington Motel and Cottages consists of a small 4-story motel plus several cottages on the adjacent lot across the street.
The Darlington property is owned/operated by a family who takes pleasure in making visitors feel welcome and comfortable. The owners were courteous, friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
Sea Gables Cottage is a stand alone cottage and served as our home away from home. The cottage has aged a few decades yet it's both spacious and cozy with superior climate controls (yes - central air) and two (2) full bathrooms. My family of 4 had more than enough room to co-exist as a group and individual down time.
Sea Gables has a wrap-around front porch and a nice yard w/ tree swing, outdoor games and even an outdoor shower attached to our cottage.
There is one (1) very well maintained outdoor swimming pool optimally located along Ocean Blvd. We cannot speak for the other cottages on-site or motel rooms but Sea Gables Cottage is a true gem. My family and I have zero complaints and look forward to a future stay with Darlington. Major compliments to the accommodations and staff!

Great locations to bring your family. Everything is near by. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely consider returning if we return to Myrtle Beach.
We were suppose to stay 4 nights,but we left a day early.We stayed in the Flip Flop cottage.Cottage was cute,but old.It had a very strong mold and mildew smell.They had plug ins but they weren’t working.Our clothes smelled of mold and mildew.They had window units for A.C,no door on the bedroom.Celing fans were dusty.Top of refrigerator dusty.Closet in bedroom had spider webs.Bed was very uncomfortable,floor had a lot of dips in areas.Shower was hot.I think that was the only thing that was good. Owner was nice,but one of workers live there,so I’m sure he be telling what ever he sees
The location was a great distance from the 2nd Avenue pier and the boardwalk! It was nice to have parking and be able to make it to the beach very easily.
Our family of 4 stayed here for our first Myrtle Beach experience. Being able to walk to the beach and come back so easily was amazing. The place was perfect for our family with a teen & tween. The cottage was absolutely charming and the host was great working out our very late arrival time. A couple things that I was a little surprised by: there are 2 air conditioning units and they kept the place plenty cool, but we needed to keep the bedroom doors open at night to “share the air”. The bathroom door kept getting stuck on the floor which made it hard to open past 30°. It’s an old (but adorable!) building, so I expect this kind of thing, but just something that made my husband a little nutty. Nothing that would keep me from staying again! It was perfect to eat a few meals in and keep cold beverages on the ready!
This property is an incredible value for the money. No added fees for parking and you can be at the boardwalk in 3 minutes. Property is older but very clean and worked great for us.
