The host was very communicative! There were a couple issues with the condo and Jay communicated well once I reached out to him about them. It was a nice place to retreat to after spending the day at the beach or on the town. The view of the ocean was beautiful. It was stocked with all of the cooking equipment we needed.

We enjoyed our family vacation! This until was nice definitely not as open as previous ones we have stayed in however it served its purpose and we were overall pleased with it, I feel the cost was a little much for what it had to offer but again we enjoyed it. There is a door to bedroom and in living room to make even more privacy which was nice, bed not as comfortable as I’d hoped but it did the job- bedding very thin. it has one bathroom however there is a door to close off from shower/ toilet and leaves the remainder of the bathroom open- which was very nice! it has a beautiful ocean view, there is a lay out deck platform right below the room however you still have plenty of ocean view! This was our favorite part! First couple days were rough due to the door made horrible whistling noise sounding like motorcycles were outside our door- however 4 days into our trip Jay and Susan came to apply weather stripping and it definitely helped not be so loud. It was nice to have two AC units on each side of the condo. The kitchen was fully stocked, we added in some baking sheet pans though but seemed they had everything pretty much covered!This is the 3rd time we have used this resort and we highly recommend- it’s very family oriented! Overall we enjoyed our stay! There is an indoor pool with two hot tubs (smaller) and the main outside pool had a cute play area with larger pool, lazy river, and hot tube. Jay and Susan were very friendly and attentive when I reached out to them!

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.
