About this property

The Blue Crab - Outstanding Family Friendly Fun Resort direct Oceanfront

Our home is your home. Enjoy the incredible ocean views and listen to the waves crash upon the shore as you relax on the balcony with a morning cup of Joe or an evening glass of wine....or a glass of wine all day! Your kids will enjoy the 43" HDTV w/DVD Player to watch their favorite movies. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the dishes and cooking utensils for a home cooked meal or enjoy the Resort restaurant. The Murphy Bed in the living room with door creates a private space away from the main bedroom and will rapidly become your favorite spot to sleep listening to the sounds of the ocean.

Second stay was great

We enjoyed the Blue Crab again this year. We loved the view, the convenient location (next to the elevator and trash), the comfy beds, the dining table big enough for all 6 of us, and the heated outdoor pool. So fun... the kids want to stay in the Blue Crab every year.

Beautiful get away!

Jay is awesome at staying in touch with a great personality. It was exactly what we were looking for.... sunrises through the front deck & glass entry, hearing the waves crashing on the beach. Pleasant workers thorough the building. Clean hot tubs & grounds. We had a wonderful time!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Welborn

Host profile image
My wife and I met at Myrtle Beach AFB back in the late 80's while I was stationed there as a young Airman. After we married, we spent the next 20+ years traveling all over the world as a member of the Air Force to include Japan, Hawaii, and Germany. When we came to our final station at Shaw AFB in Sumter SC before retirement, we immediately came to the beach to catch up on old memories. By this time we had 5 children and we wanted a place where we could bring the kids to the enjoy the beach. After searching many condos, we fell in love with the Caravelle Resort the moment we came upon the grounds. This was the one. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we love visiting here ourselves.

Why they chose this property

The Caravelle offers so much for family members of all ages. It's close to the thick of things that Myrtle Beach has to offer without being to close to the downtown traffic and "rowdy" crowds. The Caravelle is the best family vacation place and thus was an easy choice when we decided to buy.

What makes this property unique

The views from the balcony and our favorite spot to sleep (the Murphy Bed) in the living room area so we can listen to the ocean all night long is absolutely our favorite part of our condo. Of course the kids LOVE the swimming pool areas, lazy river and swimming/walking the beach looking for shells.
