About this property

WOW! This amazing ocean front Brighton was on HGTV!

This fantastic condo has the distinction of being featured on the popular HGTV program, “House Hunters”! They also filmed the follow-up, “House Hunters: Where Are They Now?”. Both shows aired repeatedly on HGTV. It's been a few years, but 1209 Brighton is looking better than ever. Recently, all 3 bathrooms and the kitchen have been extensively renovated.

We welcome you to book your stay in this amazing, ocean front, 3 bedroom unit now!
Your family will be right at home in this extremely spacious condo that boasts over 2,400+sq ft. of living space with the look and feel of a luxury resort. Upon your arrival, it will be stocked with all the conveniences of home and a lot of things that make it better than home. That's what vacation is all about!

The unit includes:

3 Guest Suites:
• The Palmetto Suite- Considered the primary with a king bed, this suite has an ocean front view and access to the main balcony with 2 chaise lounge chairs in which to relax. There is an armoire and double dresser for ample space to unpack as well as a wall-mounted smart TV. There is an en-suite bath with double vanity and upscale lighting. Separated from that is the jetted tub and walk-in shower.

• The Royal Palm Suite- Beautifully situated with ocean front views and main balcony access, this suite has a queen bed and a smart TV. The oversized, en-suite Hollywood bathroom has a double vanity and separate shower/bath area.

• The Queen Palm Suite- Private and secluded, this suite has 2 queen beds and a private balcony with lake and resort views. There is a wall-mounted smart TV for entertainment in this vast suite. There is an armoire and a closet in the vanity area. The en-suite bath has a double vanity and is separated from the bath and shower area.

The unit has an open floor plan which lends itself to family entertaining and vacation fun! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all open and spacious.

• Living Room: Equipped with the latest TV technology, this comfortable room has a stunning ocean front view through the 3-panel sliding door to the main balcony.

• Dining Room: This area is open to the living room and kitchen for ease and convenience. There is a dining room balcony with amazing lake and resort views and additional seating for al-fresco dining.

Outdoor Features:

• The Brighton Whirlpool: Located in the pool area, the hot tub/ whirlpool is heated with plenty of space. It is slightly secluded and beautifully landscaped.

• The Beach: A vacation to Myrtle Beach isn’t complete without days at the beach. The Grand Strand is grand and to further enjoy it. There are umbrella and chair rentals available at your own cost for the day or the week during the summer months. Unfortunately, Beach Services no longer offers annual rentals for owners to offer to their guests. But we will have 2 Tommy Bahama chairs and an umbrella in the unit for your use.

• Due to new restrictions, people renting directly through owners do not have access to the Splash waterpark or the fitness club. You are welcome to eat and drink at any establishment at Kingston Resort in the Embassy Suites and Hilton. But their pools are for those guests only.

We really enjoyed our stay. The nicest Vrbo we have stayed in. I really appreciated your quick response on the door lock issue. I would recommend you place to anyone looking to stay anywhere near there. Great location. We own a time share just down the beach at the sands ocean club. We have found great new locations to eat at. Thank you so much. Kevin

A Slice of Paradise!!

Thank you Ann and Rick for sharing your beautiful ocean front condo with our family! The views were amazing and the condo was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We really appreciated the beach chairs, the welcome bag, and the extremely comfortable beds/linens. The large capacity washer and dryer were a welcomed bonus. The condo was very quiet and conveniently located to many activities and restaurants. Ann and Rick have been great to work with! They are very attentive and quick to respond to any questions. We can't wait to go back next year! Thank you! Bill and Kim

Accomodations spectacular!

This is our family's second time at this rental. Everything is in excellent shape and clean. Everything you need in the kitchen is provided which is so convenient (other than food, of course). The view from the balcony is breathtaking and it is so enjoyable to sit on the balcony with a nice ocean breeze:) The owners are very accommodating and easily reached. This year we brought our parents along with our teenage kids and there was plenty of room and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. We strongly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent Condo

A very large condo with a feel of home. Best stocked kitchen I have ever experienced in a rental at the coast. Quality made the difference in everything. The beds and linens were hotel grade and well above standards in the rental market. Having soaps, tissues, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper and paper towels was excellent since we were only staying several days and wanted packing to be at a minimum. A very thoughtful welcome bag was a kind touch. Ann was exceptional to communicate with and everything about the condo that was advertised was true and honest.

Wonderful

Loved every minute. The condo was beautiful and had everything needed to feel like your at home or even better. We usually complain about the beds... we slept great. The view of the beach was perfect and the glider/recliner was the finishing touch.I just set back with the patio glass door slightly opened so i could hear the waves, feel the ocean breeze and watched the 65" tv. Just wish i could have figured out the thermostat. We had our 2 year old grand daughter with us and she had a ball.

This was a perfect stay. The location right on the beach is wonderful. The unit was spacious, clean and had everything you need especially in the kitchen. We were there during a storm and the lania is perfect. It is covered and we sat outside watching the storm. We definitely will be back.

This is a beautiful condo in a beautiful neighborhood. We go to MB yearly to enjoy the beach and visit with family that live in the area. This is the nicest condo that we have stayed in. It was spacious with gorgeous views. I loved that the kitchen was adequately stocked with plenty of cookware, appliances, and dishes. Additionally, the bottle of wine and “in case you forgot something” bin were thoughtful and appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!

We could not use water park . That’s the first time since we have been staying at Brighton . Don’t make no since why we could not use it for the money we paid to stay there. Wish we would have known that before we booked this room !!!! Tried to call owner to ask about it!!! Did not get a return call back!!

This rental left me speechless it was pure perfection!

We couldn't have found a better spot in Myrtle Beach. I bring home with me and didn't have to, they literally thought of EVERYTHING. The bed was so comfortable and I struggle when sleeping else where when we travel, slept like a BABY. The views were gorgeous. The kitchen Fully Stocked. The space, we all had our own space. This place just kept going and going. It was a luxury stay for sure. I can't want to come back!

A Wonderful Getaway!

My wife and I booked 1209 Brighton at the last minute for an October getaway. The place was beautiful and so spacious. Even though it was just the two of us, every bedroom has a large en suite bath. The layout could comfortably work for three couples or two couples with kids. The three separate balconies allowed us to watch the sunrise and sunset and choose sun or shade throughout the day. Access to the beach was also very convenient and we walked to the Hilton beach bar and Black Drum (right next door) for dinner. This was definitely our favorite place in Myrtle Beach and Ann made the process go so smoothly I cannot think of anything that could have been better.

Brighton 1209 Aug 2024

Clean, lovely and beautifully decorated condo. I absolutely loved the allclad cookware. Blinds and curtains easy to open/close. I never found a crock pot and the amenties list I thought noted one, but I never went back to check. Ice maker was not an issue, never even used the countertop one and we brought bags of ice back home and even left some for next guests. Ann was very responsive to all my questions. We didn't find the extra towels until later because in a bathroom drawer, but mommy had brought towels for the babies. I was hoping to see the sunrise from oceanfront balcony but being so close to the beach for a walk one always can see the sunrise. Sunsets def can be seen from back balconies. We love the ocean front balcony with plenty of seating, esp to hear the waves, and our grandson loved watching the bucket dump water at the waterpark. We did lose the letter S puzzle piece but gained so much more, our family made more good memories at Brighton!

A Hidden Gem

The property is beautiful. The condo is more than we expected. We were so pleased with our accommodations! The open layout in the kitchen, dining, and living room makes for a great place to kick back and relax. Four counter stools in the kitchen make it so spacious. The bedrooms and bathrooms are absolutely excellent. We all agreed (6 of us) that we had the best sleep ever. Nothing is overlooked. The beds are dressed beautifully and each one has a lovely duvet. There is ample space in the bathrooms and bedrooms. Sliding glass doors in every bedroom provide the most beautiful views and sounds of the ocean waves crashing. A really well thought-out condo, with its tasteful decor, makes it so easy to relax and enjoy your stay. The pictures online are very accurate, but plan to be surprised by the layout. Communication with the hosts was simple. Access to the beach is simple. We had a fabulous, relaxing, happy time. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts. Would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful stay

My family and I had been coming to Kingston Plantation / Myrtle Beach for over 25 years, until my father became too sick to travel. When he died last year, my mom and I knew it was time to visit again (and with my 2 kids in tow). The trip was always going to be a special one, but the property really added to the experience. Our host was kind and communicative, the home had all the amenities we needed, and our stay was perfect. (If you don't know the area, the location is also pretty great - right on the beach, pool onsite, etc.)
