Just a quick note to say thank you for letting us rent your condo, it has been a pleasure to rent a nice clean and well equipped unit, even the baseboards were spotless.  It is truly a home away from home, with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable, no need to bring anything.  The view of the swash is amazing and definitely the best view on the beach.  The location is perfect 5 minutes from shopping, dining, golf course.  I would definitely recommend staying here.  We had a great time. If you do not rent it out again next year hopefully we can return.

Thanks again,

Hi

Well, we will soon be putting away this computer and say goodbye to your beautiful condo.  We had a great time and wish we could have stayed a month, maybe next time.  We really enjoyed the sunsets from the balcony and the flat screen tv for Mike (he loved the golf station.)  The bed was a comfy sleep too.

Your condo is great, we love it.  The colors in the rooms are pretty and I love the tile and the carpet in the bedroom, and all the cute picture and plaques make for a well decorated place.  I spent a lot of time just reading your booklets even though we are here every year there is always new places to try!  Mike has already ventured out to hit shags and get ready to play.  I got to walk on the beach yesterday and go shelling, my favorite thing to do.  I brought my Thanksgiving decorations (just afew) and decorated for the holiday.  We are ready for our daughter to come down from Columbia with the two children for a great weekend visit.

I didn't mean to ramble on but just wanted you to know we are having a good time

Dear Shirley

I have been meaning to send you an E Mail since we got back and I keep forgetting.  We had a wonderful time in Myrtle Beach.  Spent a lot of time on the beach and just exploring.  Found a bunch of wonderful places to eat, really enjoyed Cagney's and put on too much weight.  I managed to get Katie on a jet ski which was a choir (sp) because she never learned to swim.  She did well.  I wanted to her up on a Paracel (sp), but she said not this year.

The Condo was wonderful and we enjoyed our stay.  I appreciate the hospitality you and Ron showed in letting us use it for the week.  We tried to leave it in the same shape it was when we got there.  I hope the cleaning lady found it OK. 

I am keeping your E Mail address because Katie and I would like to make another trip down there.  Like I told you in an earlier email, we did not plan it long enough for everything there is to do.  Thanks again for everything.  Hopefully we will be talking to you again in the future.

Location Location Location!! It is a walk across the sand into the ocean can you ask for better than that?  The condo was very nice!  Also having 3 pools, a hot tub, gym, and a bar/restaurant on site.... was great!!     Shirley and Ron have gone above and beyond, they have been great people to do business with.  We will be back!!

We had a fabulous time staying at this condo.  It's right on the beach and has a perfect view of both the ocean and an inlet that you can see right off the deck.  The condo was well stocked with games and movies as an alternative to rainy weather and had everything else you could imagine needing while on vacation.  We definitely recommend the rental to anyone going to the area!

Hi Shirley and Ron,

Sorry this took so long--here is some of our feedback on our stay.

We loved the Liberty Tap Room for their beef and their micro brew beers.

We loved California Dreamin' for their salads.

We love the Bagel Factory on Rte. 17 and 20th Ave. for their breakfasts.

Gordon Biersch in Market Commons is a good place to eat and get yummy micro brews. 

Market Commons is a fun place to walk around and shop.  It has the feel of being on a movie set.

Our young adult children like Fat Tuesday (bar) at Broadway.

Our "men folk" took a 1 1/2 hour ride to Wilmington to see the Battleship North Carolina. They thought it was worth the trip.

We are beach people and we absolutely loved the ease of simply walking out to the beach-the location was perfect!

Your condo was immaculately clean and equipped with all the necessities needed for a wonderful stay at the beach.

Thank you for sharing your lovely beach home with us!

Sincerely,

Bev & Don Tredtin

Wanted to send a thank you. We had a wonderful time at the condo and the weather was gorgeous this weekend. You guys have a real gem there. I know you enjoy it. Everything was as you said and the info packet was very helpful. The hardest part was leaving and coming back home to reality!
 
Thanks again,

Thank you so much for letting us rent your condo.  I've answered your questions the best I can, pretty much in a "review" form.  Feel free to quote/paraphrase. The only complaint I have is that we couldn't stay longer.  There is so much to do in that small strip of South Carolina...

As far as the condo is concerned: 

We loved the location, and that we had to bring nothing but a beach towel and clothes.... once we arrived we went to the local grocery store and farm stand down the road. This whole concept of a home away from home was really affordable for us..  We really enjoyed watching the ever changing beach/marsh area. Our teenagers/young adults made friends with some kids staying for the week and played basketball, swam in the pools, played on the beach, etc.  We felt they were about as safe as could be being in a resort and not having us tethered to their side.  From each balcony we could usually see them.

As adults, my husband and I loved being able to walk down to Ocean Annies every day for the live bands and a drink -no matter what time of day it was.  The bar in house (I can't remember the name of it) was great too.  We played darts one afternoon to get out of the sun for a little while.

Found an incredible variety of shells for memories.  Really nice to walk on the beach.

The Myrtle Beach area was easy to navigate in the car when we went to explore.  Your welcome book and coupons were oh so very helpful.

The vote for best place to eat was the Giant Crab;.we ate like there was no tomorrow.  BUT the BEST Hush Puppies EVER were at Drunken Jacks down in Murrell's Inlet.  Well worth the ride for the hush puppies and crab cakes, do the Marsh Walk and watch the fishing boats come in. 

Went putt putt golfing a few times, but the vote for most excitement went to Nascar Speedpark (go cart racing)... really, really, really  fun...we should have just  spent a little more money and bought the unlimited day pass...we did not want to leave.

Looking forward to staying at your condo again, and have recommended it to everyone we've talked to.  I am sorry but I don't know of anything you could have done to improve our experience, I think you have covered all the bases.  Thank you again for helping us have a great vacation.

Owners note:  Booked for 2011 already

Below I have answered your questions for your questionnaire.  As I said before we really enjoyed our time at your condo and look forward to going again.

 

Thank you for all your help, and for sharing your lovely condo with our family.

 The location of the condo was wonderful it was very quiet and peaceful area.  Very easy to get to and to get out and about in the evenings.  Close to everything you need.  The condo itself was very nice and also easy to get around. Loved all the chairs, tables and especially loved the swing facing the ocean in the main building.   

 We ate out a lot and enjoyed them all.  My family especially enjoyed TBonz, we also liked the Giant Crab and we loved the pizza place right across the street from the condo on the way out I think it was called NY Pizza.   

 Very nice condo in a great area of Myrtle Beach.  Close to shops, restaurants and many more activities.  Lots of great amenities for the whole family.  My son loved the basketball court and so convenient to the condo we were able to keep an eye on him by just stepping out of the front door or looking out the window in the master bedroom.  We loved all the lounge chairs around the indoor heated pool and I especially loved the wonderful hot tub.  Very easy to get to and to get out of as well.  We can't wait to come back!  Thank you for sharing your condo with our family.

Hello Shirley,
 
 How are you?

 We had a wonderful time staying in your condo -  couldn't asked for a better place for the family.    Really enjoyed the view from the back porch.  The  weather has been nice as well, except the first two days.  But even that, it was warm enough for me and  my  daughter to explore the beach. 

 We are leaving the condo now, heading back north.   Everything should be in the way we arrived. 

 Thank you again for the wonderful place and memory.   Happy New Year!

[Owner's Note: Wentong has kindly said that he would be happy to talk to any potential guest about his stay (see email address below).  He will be returning again this year.]

Hi Shirley,
    We really enjoyed our stay in your condo.  It's very well equipped so all we had to bring was ourselves and a few groceries.  I especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the fishermen (well, men and birds). The herons were quite active when we were there.  The view is truly fascinating.
    Thank you so much for the opportunity to see another side of Myrtle Beach. 
    I'll be in touch with you again next year probably. Until then, have a great year!

We had a great time.  We did not smell the fire [owner's note - Myrtle Beach recently had a rash of fires that destroyed some homes in the area] nor did it interfere
with our vacation at all.  We had a great time.  Thank you so much for
opening your condo to all......It was great!!!

  1.  What did you like most about the condo and area? 

    LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.  I like that it is a quiet time of
the year, the condo is at a relatively quiet end of Myrtle Beach.

  2.  Did you eat at any restaurants or participate in any activity
that you would recommend to future guests?

    We took a walk on the Apache Pier...that is nice.  The kids
always look forward to the miniature golf, and Nascar Speedpark.

  3. What else?
We enjoyed our stay at your condo.  You had everything organized so
well.  The binders with coupons, ideas on what to do  were helpful.  We
thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Myrtle Beach.  The beach days were nice
and relaxing....

Hi Shirley,

I just loved the location. Very private and quiet beach. Close to shops and US 17. Loved the keypad for the door - no hassle with taking a key to beach or pool.
Prompt return of security deposit. Highly recommend.

We had a great time. Went to Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, K&W Cafeteria, and Cheeseburger in Paradise for dinners. Saw a Pelican's baseball game and a show at the Carolina Opry. Drove to Charleston for a day and took a tour of the city-booked through the Visitor's Center. Very well marked and easy to find off of US 17.

Hi Shirley,

Thank you for returning our deposit so quickly. We enjoyed our stay at the beach. The resort was very nice, and we liked being at the end of the road. The view from the condo was great. We loved the lagoon. One of the best places we ate was at a little sports bar right there on Lake Arrow Head Rd. called Biminis. Food was great. All the information you sent and all the things in the condo were very helpful.

Thanks again for everything, Joyce.

Shirley,

 We all agree that this was our best vacation ever!!!!

  1.  What did you like most about the condo and area?  The most favorite would have to be the fact that you provide EVERYTHING someone may need.  From simple things like a pair of scissors, a piece of tape, a coupon. Extra pillows and blankets, BEACH CHAIRS, toys for the kids. The fact that you will never lose a key, The FULL mirrors. (My teenage daughter loved these.) The beautiful tile really makes this unit unique and modern. I could go on and on for a long time about the things that we loved. Must mention the beautiful views off the balcony. Each picture made there looks like a postcard.

2.  The least? No washer and Dryer inside the unit.

3.  Do you have any suggestions for improvement?  A new stove ( The main burner does not work) Although this did come in handy as a reason to NOT cook and go out instead!!! Come to think of it.... KEEP the stove  :o) [From the owners - the stove has since been repaired]

4.  Did you eat at any restaurants or participate in any activity that you would recommend to future guests? We kept it very simple as far as restaurants this year. The local K&W cafeteria was very good and we ate there several times. We did go to Bennetts Calabash on Friday night and although VERY good, we dont feel that we ate 28.00 worth of food each.   On Wednesday we took the kids out on the SEA SCREAMER and got to see dolphins up very close.(They guarantee you will see dolphins or next trip is free)  A fishing boat also pulled along side of us to show us a 10 foot tiger shark that they had just caught. Got to see about a thousand jellyfish as well.  This family of four activity was fun, and lasted about 2 1/2 hours and cost less than $100.00 total

Shirley,

We loved the private location & proximity to the beach.  Kids just enjoyed playing on the beach & riding the waves.  Water was warm & clean.  For our family of six there were not enough towels available & I had wished I had brought my own.   It was a small space for our large family but we did spend most of our time outdoors.  We love to eat @ Johnny Rockets that is always fun.  Couldn't get in to Dino's it was always too long a wait.  Rented a jet ski boat @ water sports which we loved.  Overall we felt that you were very pleasant & easy to work w/ & the process of renting the condo went very smoothly.

Thank You!

1.  What did you like most about our condo and the area? 

2.  Is the information you received prior to your stay adequate?   

 Is there anything you wish you had been in the information?

3.  Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

4.  Did you eat at any restaurants or participate in any activity that you loved enough for us to include it in our "recommended" list?

Questions:

1.  location, location, location, it was just an awesome place to be with the inlet- we spent so many happy times playing there while the other half of the family sunned themselves or rode the waves.  We loved being the last building on a dead end road.

2.  include the fact that you cannot leave anything outside your front door at the condo.  also, we never were able to find out if we could use the waterpark and where it was, some of the sands staff said only the hotel people could use it and that it was at another site a couple miles away. that was disappointing.  you had us prepared very well for the rules and we really liked having the keyless entry, any of us could come and go without worrying about being locked out (might want to put that in as a plus you have over other condos).

3.  we left a small fishing net for other to use, would suggest you may get a better one and also a new and improved umbrella and maybe one of those fishing nets you toss, they really looked fun.  I know you can't make the patio larger, but maybe a small table so that you could sit out there with a snack or drink.  we really appreciated the coupon booklets- found many of them around the city, i think it would be nice to have someone reorganize your wonderful folders- they are a bit messed up, we tried a little, but ran out of time- the beach was just too tempting. 

3.  enjoyed the "Thai Season" restaurant- we love thai food- it is new and very good (my husband is  thai and we cook it all the time, that was just about one of the best thai restaurants we've ever eaten at in the USA).  It is on King's  Highway going north on the left side of the road at the end of a mini strip mall beside one of those beach stores- right before a grove of trees.  we did not like Mt. Atlanticus, but did enjoy "mayday" mini golf course.  loved the Dixie stampede and the combo ripley's pass to the aquarium, museum and haunted house.  Also, really enjoyed shopping at Gay Dolphin in Myrtle Beach and the Nautical store out near Calabash.  Did not enjoy the "sea screamer" it was very rough and overcrowded and boring.  oh, that little subshop on your street a block or so down at the strawmarket was really good.  We didn't care for the "farmer's daughter" buffet or the "giant crab" buffet too much.  oh, you migh also suggest a few groceries in the area.

Thanks for caring so much about our stay- it was a wonderful location and very comfortable,  we played tennis every morning.  we had such fun, you are great hosts.  .

Shirley, 

We had a fantastic time on vacation. We absolutely fell in love with Myrtle Beach.  We liked driving around and seeing the sites, instead of going to Hardrock Park, we took the kids to Family Kingdom, and went to the water park for 4 1/2 hours and went to the amusement park across the street for 3 hours. We had a good time at both of them.   We collected a bunch of shells and my husband found a large shark's tooth on the beach one morning.  It is a vacation we will remember for a long time, and we hope to be able to visit there again.  Thanks so much.  The Colbert's

1.  What did you like most about our condo and the area?  We loved that it was right on the beach!

3.  Do you have any suggestions for improvement? None, our stay was great

4.  Did you eat at any restaurants or participate in any activity that you loved enough for us to include it in our "recommended" list? We ate at Cheeseburger in Paradise, (it was recommended by a friend-it was good) We just really enjoyed being so close to the beach for a week.

WE LIKED THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE DEAD END STREET. THE VIEW WAS GREAT. NOT CROWDED AT ALL ON THE BEACH

2.  Is the information you received prior to your stay adequate?  Is there anything you wish you had been in the information?
NO EVERYTHING WAS AS DESCRIBED ON THE WEBSITE AND YOUR EMAILS

3.  Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

THE ONLY THING I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THAT WE HAD A BAD STORM 1 NIGHT AND THE WIND WAS BLOWING IN FROM THE BALCONY VERY HARD AND YOU HAVE A WATER LEAK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDING DOOR. WE STOPPED IT WITH TOWELS, NO BIG PROBLEM FOR US BUT IT COULD CAUSE YOU DAMAGE IF THE UNIT IS VACANT DURING A STORM.

4.  Did you eat at any restaurants or participate in any activity that you loved enough for us to include it in our "recommended" list?

BAREFOOT LANDING IS NICE WITH THE CRAB HOUSE AND FIRE ISLAND
BROADWAY AT THE BEACH IS ALSO EXCELLENT WITH PLENTY TO DO. YOUR BINDERS WITH INFO IN THEM ARE VERY HELPFUL THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA.

WE JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AND WILL BE COMING BACK. YOU HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT TO WORK WITH. THE PLACE IS GREAT. YOU HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB ON THE WEBSITE, EVERYTHING YOU STATED WAS TRUE TO YOUR WORD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK SOON

Shirley, feedback on your condo:

  1. The location was great….nice and quiet and close to the beach. It wasn’t close to our usual golf courses, but for getting out of town (to Wilmington) it was!
  2. Since our golf courses were south (Litchfield, Pawleys Island areas) we did most of our eating there. A great place was called Hot Fish in Murrells Inlet. Great food and music.

 Thanks for helping us have a great time by letting us use your place. We really had fun!

2.  No suggestions for improvements.
3. Ate at Bimini's.  The fried shrimp is to die for!  The band at Ocean
Annies was great!!

Thank you so much for letting us rent your condo. The place was

everything was in order. Thanks again and will definitely keep you in
mind for next year.

Dear Shirley, 

Again we have enjoyed our stay at your condo.  Since we have come back four times you know that we enjoy it very much!  The location is so perfect with the privacy and yet so near to things we want to do and see. 

You have done a great job of improving the condo.  Each time we go we find something new.  The new tile on the floor and the new couch make it very lovely as well as the new refrigerator.  You outdo yourself to make sure that everything is lovely for your guests. 

One of the things I enjoy most is the abundance of birds on the beach and the marsh.  I love to feed bread to them and have them flock around us to get it.  

There were four of us this time and plenty of room for us all.  We enjoyed watching DVD's in the evening.   

We surely recommend this to anyone wanting a delightful spot on Myrtle Beach.

Shirley,

We have just returned home from a week in your lovely condo. We spent a great week there with my husband's brother and his wife and had plenty of room. This was our third visit and I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. I very much enjoyed looking for shells along the beach and brought back quite a collection.

It was most enjoyable to spend time where the beaches are not overly crowded. The view from your balcony of the ocean and inlet also gave me the opportunity of witnessing spectacular sunsets. I'm afraid I was not up early enough to see the sunrises though.

The renovations you have done since our stay in September 2007 are really nice. I especially liked the colors you have chosen for the couch and tiles. The time and effort you have put into making your place seem so welcome are a delight. I would highly recommend your condo to anyone. You have gone to such lengths to supply all the thoughtful  extras to make their visit one to remember.
 
Thanks again for the use of your wonderful place at the beach.

Hi, Shirley. 

We had a great time.  Your condo was the perfect place for our two little ones.  They weren't sure of the waves and preferred the calm water of the inlet.  We spent most of the time at the inlet and in the swimming pools. The evening before we left, we finally got them to get in to the ocean and they loved it. 

 
The weather was absolutely perfect.  Even though it was in the high 90's on the beach and at the pool you couldn't tell.  And, the location of the condo was convenient to Barefoot Landing and Broadway on the Beach.  It's been a few years since we were last in Myrtle Beach and we couldn't believe how much has been added to the area.  It's definitely a place with something for everyone.  The kids loved the aquarium.  We would have enjoyed some of the other attractions but we ran out of time to see and do everything.  
 
We rushed out on Saturday morning and forget we had left a few items in the fridge and freezer - strawberry jelly, a few drinks and popsicles.  Sorry about that. 
 
I'll keep your information on file for our next trip to the beach. 
 
All the best,

Hi, I didn't buy another beach chair. We had an extra and didn't use yours. We had a great stay, thank you.

In answer to your questions:

We liked the area. The beach was very clean and not too congested.

Improvements would be a larger trash can for the kitchen.

Our favorite restaurant was Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. It was great!

enjoyed "One - The Show"... and Red Lobster & Outback.  We tend to stay with restaurants we know.  Nascar fun park was fun - but crowded.

3. Condo review

"fun, relaxing time at the beach.  Being near the ocean was very nice... just down the stairs and a few more steps to the beach.  Inlet is great for the kids - we enjoyed crabbing and catching minnows with nets... and just wading through looking for shells.   I was amazed at the shell finds.... found several palm sized shells that were beautiful"

Shirley,

Thank you for your kind words. We were having an absolute blast prior to the bad news <Note: Phil had an illness in the family during his stay and had to leave early>.  The condo is very nice and is in the perfect location.

 Thank you for the credit offer.  It was definitely not necessary, but is appreciated.  You can bet that we will be back in the future.

 Answers to your questions:

1. What we liked most?

We most liked that the condo is in a quiet area next to the inlet.  We often had a section of beach to ourselves.

 2. What we liked least? 

What's not to like?

3. Any suggestion for improvements:

The condo had everything that we needed.

4. Favorite restaurants or shows or places you went in Myrtle Beach

We mostly hit the beach with the kids and shopped at Broadway and Barefoot Landing.  Both had excellent fireworks on Monday and Tuesday night. 

 5.  General comments

The condo was very welcoming and had everything that we needed. You can't beat the location.  We often had a large section of the beach to ourselves. The balcony provided an unobstructed and beautiful view of the ocean and inlet.

Shirley,

Your condo was absolutely wonderful! We got lost on our way from Tennessee and a 7.5 hour drive turned into 11 hours! Needless to say, by the time we reached the resort we were tired and cranky , but the minute we walked into your condo all of that went away. It was absolutely spotless which was such a relief and it was so welcoming. We brought in our bags and walked out onto the balcony and all our cares went away. I love the way you had so many things right in the condo just waiting for us. There were all kinds of movies and I especially liked having all of the beach stuff already there. It saved me from having to pack so many things. Before this trip to Myrtle Beach, it had been four years since my family has had a real vacation, but after spending a week in your condo there is no way we'll be able to go that long without one again. You were absolutely wonderful to us! Thank you so much and we can't wait to stay with you again!

Shirley and Ron Gastin have an absolute lovely condo right on the beach, in one of the best areas of Myrtle Beach. Very centrally located to all the attractions, outlet malls and great food.

The condo itself is a charming 2 BD unit that has fabulous views of the sea and a salt water inlet. Sunrise or sunset are equally beautiful. Shirley includes all the amenities (except beach towels, so pack those) to make your stay absolutely perfect. The resort has 3 pools and 2 Jacuzzis.  The staff that we encountered where extremely pleasant, but basically you are on your own and no one bothers you, which we loved! The condo has a combo VCR/DVD player so we spent a relaxing evening watching a movie we had brought. Condo is homey, comfortable and extremely pleasant!

The workout room at the resort is useless, with rusted cardio equipment and about 3 mismatched dumbbells but we power walked on the beach and got a good workout doing that. There are also health clubs nearby if you want  weight or cardio equipment.

We can't wait to return!!

Hi Shirley –

Received yr. cheque today – thank you very much.  Yes, we had a lovely holiday – the weather was great, except for the day that we were leaving – temps in the high 70’s/low 80’s – even managed a couple of swims in the ocean! 

We loved having no keys to worry about whenever we left the condo – great idea to have the code entry lock.  The beaches were lovely to walk on – quite firm, and easy to navigate, not like some beaches which are soft, deep sand, which make it hard work to take long walks.!  Also we were close to malls and restaurants, but secluded – very quiet and peaceful.  

We drove into Charleston, and took a tour of the city – it was lovely, we really enjoyed it.  Also we toured a Plantation farm and old slave quarters at Hopseewee – also very much enjoyed.  We would certainly recommend your condo and the area to our friends.  Wishing you all the best,

We much enjoyed your condo.  Our daughter and her husband were able to join us, too, and there was plenty of room for us all to be happy and have a wonderful time.  The location is perfect--easy access to other places we wanted to visit and yet so private.  To be able to go to Myrtle Beach and have so few on the beach in that area is a real treat.

 Being a "birder" I had such a great time enjoying the many different kinds of birds.  With the beach and inlet both here it was perfect for seeing a lot of birds.  We had lots of fun taking bread to the beach and feeding the gulls. They sure flocked to us to get that chance at the bread and even took it from our hands.

 You have a lovely condo and we enjoyed all the many things you have to make your guests feel welcome and well cared for.  To even have beach chairs and a sun shelter provided for our comfort was a great plus!

 Yes, I found the drawer of games and puzzles and enjoyed putting a puzzle together one evening.  You have done so many little things to make your home a comfortable and pleasant place to enjoy.  We loved it.

Shirley,

Thank you very much for your prompt return of the security deposit.  My family and I truly enjoyed our stay in Myrtle Beach.

We loved all of the games, puzzles, movies and beach supplies that you provided.  The kitchen was well stocked which came in handy because we have to measure portions for our 6 year old daughter who was just diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes. The beach was great and the girls loved the indoor heated pool, especially since the weather was a little cool initially.

In terms of activities, we didn't really do much. The kids were content with the pools and beach.  We mainly wanted to spend time doing whatever they wanted.  So, we just kind of "laid low" for the week.  It was GREAT!

Review:  Myrtle Beach is a great family vacation destination.  You can do as much as you like, or nothing at all.  Unit 309 is a great choice for families with young children.  It has everything you need to be comfortable when you are away from home and a great view from the balcony.  My husband just loved being there.

Thanks Shirley for a great time.

Thank you so much for the use of your condo at Myrtle Beach.  We had a great time and it was so beautiful.  The coolest thing was being able to see the marsh and the beach from the condo and eating breakfast and lunch out on the balcony.  Well, maybe not the coolest - nothing beats being on the beach.  We even made it out early for 3 beautiful sunrises.  We loved it and want you to know how much we appreciate all you did to help make this a very special get away.

Shirley,
Wow, what a wonderful January! The sun shone most days and the sunsets were spectacular from the balcony. Your condo is charming, comfortable and decked out with all I needed. You're not only a great marketer, but a thoughtful hostess. Who would have thought I would love watching the constant changes in the inlet so much that I would learn the tide schedules? What a view. I think the beautiful white crane has a new suitor. I'm certainly going to recommend your lovely vacation home to others.

Shirley,
We enjoyed our stay at your condo. It was refreshing to walk up the morning looking out at the ocean verse looking at the rear end of an auto in rush hour traffic. We hope to come back soon.

Dear Shirley,

Our spring break to Myrtle Beach was just what we needed! The views from the balcony were breathtaking in the morning hours as well as at dusk. We truly appreciated the cleanliness and organization of your condo. There were books and games for rainy days as well as toys for the beach. You also went as far as supplying a book for every age group! Thank you for taking so much time in thinking about your guests! You have been added to my favorites list. Look for us again!

Dear Shirley,

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed staying at your place over New Year's. I didn't know what to expect as I've never stayed in someone's private condo before- but now I'll never stay in a hotel at Myrtle Beach again. It was a treat to feel so at home away from home.

You've really put a lot of thought into setting up the place. I couldn't believe my luck on one gray drizzly day to find a stash of movies, books, and games on hand. I made some good progress on those word finds and forgot all about the weather. My luck continued when the sky cleared up just in time to have an amazing sunset, right over your balcony. Made for a very nice time.

Also, I tried one of the restaurants whose menu you had in your notebook, the one with "We Loved This One" written on it- and it was great. The scallops were just what I wanted, so thanks for the recommendation.

I'm looking forward to coming back out for my birthday in the Fall. And I'll definitely let my friends know about your condo- they're always looking for a new place to check out.

All the best,

Mary Franklin.

P.S. I've got some great photos from my trip there if you'd like me to send some your way.

What a pleasant surprise! I've stayed in Myrtle Beach before at other privately owned condos and have been very disappointed with amenities, views, and cleanliness. Imagine my delight when I entered into your second home and found it to be so nicely turned out.

I loved the instant "at home" feeling I experienced there. And when I dropped my bags to check out the view from your balcony, there were no dumpsters or rooftops in sight!!! Instead there was such a peaceful expanse of a beautiful marsh complete with ocean inlets and cranes, wood ducks, and loons happily drifting along. A perfect scene to wake up to, and to linger over at night while watching the sunset.

What made me decide to book you for all my future visits to Myrtle Beach were all the personal touches you included in your condo (fully stocked kitchen- even cake pans if you fancy baking!) and your commitment to making your customers happy. I loved the gift certificate to Southern Market! What a fun gourmet treat that was!

Thank you for sharing your special home!

Sincerely,

Stacie C Adams

Shirley,

We just wanted to thank you for making our Christmas vacation something to remember. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your condo - especially the view from the balcony. I've never seen more beautiful sunsets.

You're condo is very nicely decorated and everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable was there. We rarely go back to the same place twice, but in this case we will definitely go back to Myrtle Beach and rent your condo again. My husband, daughter and her husband also loved the place. Thanks again for making our holiday so special.
