Save for few minor cosmetic issues of this unit, it did not affect the quality of our stay. Pictures on VRBO were true representation of the unit and not some "stock photos" like other places, thus, we knew what we were getting into when we booked it.
Check-in was one of the easiest labors as we didn't have to deal with the hassle of the front desk. Once we got into the unit, we were happy immediately - the unit was well decorated & elegantly clean. Hot running water & cold AC were more than we could ask for, unlike some other places we have visited (won't mention the time when we were at Destin & the owners were jerks who invaded our privacy, using the cheap excuse of a crappy AC to spy on us). Anyway, the host was quick & friendly when it came to communication, which was another +.
The unit was high enough to enjoy the view of the beach without any obstruction & low enough so that we don't experience vertigo or nose bleeds. This unit was THE CLOSEST to the beach as we have ever been on any of the vacations to beach front properties. When we stepped out to the balcony, we could smell the ocean & sea air and it was as if we could dig our toes in the sand right there and then.
The entire building offered the best of both worlds when it comes to playing on the beach. Sun lovers, go out there during the morning. It rises from the horizon & hang high all day. Easily burnt? Go out during early evening hours where the height of the entire building casts a nice shade.
The kitchen didn't have enough cooking utensils, but one trip to Walmart resolved that situation. While we bought groceries for the week, we grabbed a bigger cooking pan, some extra forks and knives, a couple of trays to make ice with and when our stay was over, we simply left them there in the unit for the next guests to enjoy. We also replaced a missing electric plug wall plate just to be gracious & we hope the owner would approve.
The condo had a mini-market directly across the street, so when we were short on minor groceries, we didn't have to hop in the car & drive the busy streets. Also, the condo was pretty central to nearby attractions. The last time we were in Myrtle Beach was 11 years ago. This time, we found Family Kingdom, Captain George's restaurant, the Boardwalk on the Beach and the Gay Dolphin were all in close proximity of our condo.
I would definitely come back to this specific unit again once our rotation of vacation places come around again back to Myrtle Beach.
