Lovely place with beautiful furnishings. We loved the location but were somewhat disappointed that we were not directly facing the ocean, but had a side view. Very quiet.

Memory Maker

Our family had an enjoyable and relaxing vacation and we really felt right at home in this condo. It was very meticulous, clean, and had the necessary essentials to start our stay, stress free. The pictures really don’t show off its unique features and charm as you will experience in person. This condo accommodated our family of 9 well with plenty of room to spread out and it very much felt like home away from home. I would definitely recommend this without hesitation. The host was passionate, responsive and available as needed. Great get away place in North Myrtle!!
