A History of Resilience and Charm
The Darlington Inn was established in 1942, and in 1964 it was purchased by Jamie and Eloise Hucks, whose family still owns and operates it today. The original Darlington was a wooden building with 12 rooms. Some of the rooms shared a bathroom (if you can believe that), and all doors had simple locks with no worries of intruders. Many long-lasting friendships were made in those days, and our guests' children grew up together, seeing each other summer after summer. Such a wonderful time.
Then, in 1981, a fire caused damage beyond repair, and the building was torn down. The new Darlington opened in 1983, embodying a spirit of renewal and resilience. Over the years, the Hucks family expanded their ownership to include several neighboring beach homes, many of which date back to the 1940s. These classic Myrtle Beach cottages retain their original wood and timeless charm. They offer guests a nostalgic glimpse into the area's rich history while providing modern comforts for a memorable stay by the ocean.
