A Place to Call Your Own, Even If Just for a Stay

Nestled along Sunnyside Avenue in the heart of Murrells Inlet, The Bates Cottage has been a sanctuary for travelers seeking something beyond the ordinary hotel experience.

We believe a great stay is defined by the small details — the quality of your linens, the quiet of your evening, the warmth of a welcome that feels personal. Our cottage-style accommodations blend refined comfort with the relaxed spirit of the Lowcountry coast.

Whether you're here for a weekend escape, a family gathering, or a quiet retreat, we invite you to slow down, settle in, and let the Lowcountry work its magic.
