Very comfortable and welcoming. Wheelchair accessible, loved the screen porch. Close to beach .

We loved our stay at the Elsie. We plan to go back next year. Love it was wheelchair accessible. There was 4 of us and plenty of room. Would recommend it. Short walk to beach, loved it being in a gated community.

Pleased with our stay

We stayed at this apartment-style condo in Myrtle Beach for a 3-day golf trip and it couldn’t have been more convenient. Check-in was super smooth with a simple door code—no keys to worry about. The place was spotless and ready for us on arrival. While we didn’t use the golf cart that was available, it was a nice bonus to have. The condo was close to plenty of great courses and just 20-30 minutes from some of the top ones in the area. Also a quick 20-minute ride from the airport. Would definitely stay here again for our next golf trip!

Fine for a few days

Outside is great, large parking area and even a front yard. We enjoyed the screened porch for breakfast most mornings. The communal space is very small, if we were doing more than sleeping/showering for the few days we were there it wouldn't have worked well for us. When we arrived there were about 4 plug in air fresheners going at max and it was REALLY overwhelming. Had to open the doors and turn the fan on to alleviate some of the smell. Also, missing some simple things like extra trash bags, cleaning supplies and dish soap.The location is fantastic (after you find the main gate, located on Melody lane not US-17)! We went to the pool and used the golf cart for sunrise trips to the beach. We were quite disappointed to not find the grill, only to learn on our last day that we needed to ask for access to it because the property binder was buried on a bottom shelf under coupon books and such.

Comfortable 1st Floor Apt

I was looking for a looking for a one level house that was somewhat handicap accessible. This place was perfect for someone is a wheelchair. The property location was beautiful and we had access to the beach. Friendly homeowners everywhere in the gated community. Enjoyed our stay at the property and thank you for allowing us access to your golf cart. I only have one negative comment about the property. You may want to consider in purchasing new bed pillows and mattress pads. The pads were stained and the pillows were yellow and uncomfortable. Overall rating 4.8 for the rental property.

Wonderfully hidden!!

This place is wonderful! Completely shaded, so you can sit out at the picnic table or screened in porch without getting burned. Bedrooms are great size, with walk in closets. Bathrooms are good size. Hidden on the back of a cul-de-sac, so no worries of continuous traffic. Close enough to the beach you can stroll right on out. Handicap accessible if you're visiting with someone in a wheelchair. Doorways wide enough to fit in and out. Host was very responsive and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking!

Family vacation

Perfect for what we needed for our family of 7. We had plenty of room. We spent a lot of time outside, and the screened in room was good if you didn't want to be eaten by mosquitoes, but wanted to be part of the conversation. The beach was so close, and my grandon loved the splash pad.

Wished it was warmer - Winter visit

It is a bit small for 6 people to be inside to eat/relax. In warmer weather there is lots of space on the porch & outside. Very beachy feel. It was our timing & winter storms (flooding) that hindered our experience - not the property. Would be a different experience in summer. Samantha was very responsive to questions/issues. Thanks!

Family vacation

We have rented from Vrbo for about 6 yrs and I must say this has been great. At first I was unsure when I real there was no stove, but there are many other things to use in place and it did not mess things up. The gated community was nice with use to the pools and hot tub. The go cart was a nice way to get to the private entrance of the ocean. Which the private entrance was nice, we didn’t have to worry about a place to park. The owner is very quick to get in touch if we had any questions or issues. We will definitely look for this place when we come back!
