Best Murrells Inlet, SC Moving Company
Murrells Inlet is known as the Seafood Capital of South Carolina, with the MarshWalk, Brookgreen Gardens, and Huntington Beach State Park all nearby. It is about 15 miles south of Myrtle Beach and one of the most popular places on the Grand Strand for families and retirees who want a quieter coastal lifestyle.
Homes here include marsh-front properties, established neighborhoods, golf communities, and new subdivisions off US-17 Bypass. Marsh-front homes often have long walkways, docks, and raised foundations, while many newer communities have HOA rules on truck parking and move times. We plan around all of it before moving day.
US-17 traffic through Murrells Inlet gets heavy in summer and on weekends, so we schedule arrival times to keep your move on track. We also help families downsize, move parents closer to home, and store belongings between homes when timing does not line up.
Residents here spend weekends at the MarshWalk restaurants, walking the gardens at Brookgreen, or watching wildlife at Huntington Beach State Park. It is one of the most scenic places to live on the coast, and we want your first week here to be about exploring it, not wrestling furniture up the stairs yourself.
From Murrells Inlet we also serve Garden City, Surfside Beach, and Pawleys Island. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers brings Carolina Strong service to every Murrells Inlet move. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 910-758-0081 for your free quote.

“These guys were AWESOME. The ‘800PackRat’ people delivered my pod 11 days late I had to reschedule A&M 4 times!!! They showed up on time Mike and Chris were great. They took their time, unloaded everything carefully, arranged bins, and boxes in our garage for us. Moved heavy items into the kitchen and into the house. They set up our hutch in the dining room. They even stopped to play with her two golden retrievers for a minute. If you need movers if you need help, I cannot recommend these guys more highly.”

Moving in Murrells Inlet: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Murrells Inlet. Here’s what we plan around.
No town trash service
Murrells Inlet is an unincorporated community in Georgetown County, so residents use county convenience centers. The Murrells Inlet center at 5455 Wesley Road is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Bulk waste and cardboard
Georgetown County convenience centers accept bulk waste, cardboard, scrap metal, yard waste and more, so bring your flattened moving boxes there.
Use the swap shop
The Murrells Inlet swap shop takes clean, usable items you don’t want to move. It does not accept mattresses, clothes, shoes, toys or electronics.
Horry County side
The north edge of Murrells Inlet follows the Horry County line. On the Horry side, the Solid Waste Authority center at 10622 McDowell Shortcut Road is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Plan around US 17
US 17 (Ocean Highway) runs through the middle of Murrells Inlet, about 13 miles from Myrtle Beach and 21 miles from Georgetown, so plan truck timing around its traffic.
What Shapes Your Murrells Inlet Move Cost
No surprises. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, so you can plan with confidence.
Home Size
How many rooms and how much furniture. A condo and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.
Distance
Across town, across Horry County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.
Access
Narrow roads along the waterfront and heavy summer traffic near the MarshWalk slow trucks, and gated HOA communities often require gate passes and set moving hours.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
