This place is WAY bigger than it looks on the photos! You'll get lost in here your first day (we did - LOL!). Because it's so big and constructed of concrete, you literally can't hear conversations happening in different rooms - it's AMAZINGLY quiet. Bedrooms are spacious, beds are next to new, and all furniture throughout is tasteful and of excellent quality! Comes with everything you need, right down to a handheld mixer in case you feel the urge to bake a cake. Keurig was a nice touch, provided beach towels too, and there's a beautiful, dark hardwood-looking tile throughout the common rooms.
If you're going with more than one couple, you'll have to fight over the master bedroom with its super-cool, triple-head shower - overhead rain showerhead, handheld showerhead, and another showerhead on the wall (you can have fun switching between them all and the shower stall itself is plenty big enough for two!).
Julie answered all our (silly) questions quickly and professionally. You're only one floor up, but still have a great view of the waves and Apache Pier. Being on the first floor (2nd really), also means you can skip waiting for an elevator and take the stairs if you're able-bodied (you can be on the beach within 3 minutes of walking out of the condo). This unit is closest to the stairs and exit, which makes it feel like you live right on the beach. But don't worry about noise from the staircase because no one else seems to use it. The parkade is right next door which has an emergency diesel generator built into it that started up for some reason a couple of times, but didn't last long (pretty minor issue; wouldn't stop us from staying here again).
This is our favorite spot on the beach because you're close to a million restaurants, Kroger, and Walmart; but because the property is in Kingston Plantation (a private, gated vacation complex with guardhouse) you're far, far away from the hustle, bustle, and riffraff. You're several miles north of Myrtle Beach's infamous strip, but a few miles south of North Myrtle, so it's a quiet little community all to its own. This is a place for families or couples to get away without having to deal with rowdy crowds. Coming back as soon as we can!
