My husband and oue two children 13 and 14 had a great time. We really enjoyed the convenience of how close the condo was to the beach. (my husband and I walked a couple miles every morning on the beach and didn't even realize how far we walked! It was also an awesome experience to see the dolphins as we walked the beach!)The condo was very accomodating and clean. We had great comfortable weather! We definitely would recommend this to anyone! Marilyn was excellent to work with!

My wife and I spent winter 2012 in this well equipped, well decorated condo. Although, we were within a mile or two of three shopping areas, and unlimited restaurants, the seclusion of Kingston Plantation made us feel as though we were alone in the woods. With a championship golf course across the street, we completely enjoyed all aspects of our stay. We would recommend this condo to anyone who wants a quiet, enjoyable vacation.

Returned to Paradise

My husband and I celebrated New Years Eve in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was 3 months ago since our stay in this condo but we are still talking about it. We both enjoyed bring in the New Year in SC but it was the convenience of this condo that made our trip enjoyable. All the conveniences of a real vacation (golf, shopping, dinning and night life) are within a short drive (or cab ride). This rental experience exceeded all of our exceptions. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a hassle free getaway.

Great spot for family reunion

We spent a wonderful week in July at Marilyn's condo. It was a great location for our children with the pool so close and the beach just a few minutes away. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach, the many family activities mytle beach has to offer (Pirates Voyage, Ripley's Aquarium, mini golf), spending time with family by the pool, feeding the ducks and black swans on the lake, and building sand castles on the beach in the evenings. The condo is fully equipped with all the emenities we could have asked for, making it a carefree stay. It was a great spot for our reunion.

My family stayed here the week of June 18-24, 2011. We loved it! We have stayed at Kingston Resort at least a dozen times and this was one of the best. The description and the photos of the condo were right on target. This is a beautiful condo and the owners are a delight to work with. The owner called the first night we arrived just to welcome us and to make sure that we had everything that we needed. The condo was very clean with new tile floors and is very well maintained. If you have never stayed at Kingston Resort, you are missing out on the best place in Myrtle Beach. This condo is conveniently located with a nice pool just steps away and the beach a short walk across the lake. Shopping, golf, and a great fishing pier are all close by. We will definitely stay here again.

A Great Spot

We stayed at Bill & Marilyn's condo for the month of November, 2010. This was our first visit to Myrtle Beach and our stay at the condo was wonderful. It is perfectly situated; close to the ocean for great walks, lots of shopping, and of course many, many golf courses. The condo was very well equipped. We appreciated the WiFi access, as well as the convenience of washer and dryer. We enjoyed the screened in porch and watching the ducks and swans swim by in the lake. Marilyn was very easy to work with and even emailed us to see if we arrived and everything was OK. Thanks for sharing your "home away from home" with us. We hope to return next year.

I stayed at this beautiful condo the week of July 4th. A friend from NJ flew in to visit and we met at Bill and Marilyn's condo. It was exactly where the directions said and as clean and wonderfully decorated as stated in their ad. The location was close to the beach and close to many restaurants and shopping outlets. We enjoyed the screened porch looking over the lake while winding down for the evening. The pool was very close to the condo and very clean. Marilyn was easy to work with and even called upon my arrival to make sure everything was OK. I was sad to leave, but excited to know that there was such a wonderful place to rent when I have the chance. When I got home, I realized that I had forgotten to pack my swimsuits. I immediately called Marilyn and she said she would send them to me. She was true to her word and they are back in my possession.

Super Place

Our stay at your Condo was very much enjoyed by our group. We were familiar with the Kingston Plantation community from past stays there, but it had been a few years, and we were thrilled to have rediscovered it. Your Condo fit our situation perfectly. Our party consisted of a twenty-something to an eighty-something - and we were more than happy with the accomodations. We used all the amenities that the Condo offered - fixing meals in the well-stocked kitchen, the convenient laundry facilities and the wonderful screened in balcony, overlooking the lake, where we enjoyed our meals and evening quiet reading time. Using the WIFI, our "twenty-something" was able to keep up with her emails and work on her laptop, and we were able to Skype our relatives to keep in touch. We were happy with the easy access to the Beach and the convenience of the close proximity to Golf, Restaurant Row and Outlet Shopping. We had a great week of Rest and Relaxation, Sun and Sand during our stay - and look forward to our next vacation in your lovely Condo in the Fall. Thank you, Marilyn, for sharing your Beach Home with us.

Great time in a beautiful resort

Date of Stay: 04/05/10 Review Submitted: 04/19/10

We stayed over our kid's Spring Break and we had a great time! There was plenty to keep the kids busy at the resort, nothing was too crowded and the weather was beautiful. The kids loved looking for turtles as we walked over the wooden bridge to the beach. We also loved being so close to Walmart and being able to cook meals at the condo. The condo had everything we needed. We did enjoy a fabulous meal out at the Omaha Steakhouse which is part of the resort. Marilyn was very helpful in accommodating to our travel plans after Easter. We loved our stay.

We spent the last week of October here and enjoyed it immensely. The condo is clean, comfortable and well equipped and it is beautifully decorated.The location is perfect too,very quiet and peaceful yet only a few minutes walk to the beach. The golf desk at the hotel helped us with golf bookings, and we golfed almost every day. We shopped, explored, dined and thoroughly enjoyed Myrtle Beach. But the condo was a wonderful relaxing oasis to come home to. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Marilyn and Bill!

Dear Marilyn & Bill, I wanted to thank you for sharing your Kingston Plantation home with us. My wife, kids and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We have been coming to the Myrtle area for the last 17 years and your condo ranks as one of the best we have stayed in. The accessibility to the beach and all the pools on the grounds were outstanding. We have never been ones for staying in the heart of Myrtle Beach, rather wanting to be somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of the area. But staying on the Plantation gave us the best of both worlds, a few minutes from the heart of Myrtle while also being able to enjoy the peace and quite of the grounds when we wanted to. We traveled with several other families for a baseball tournament that my son was in. Most of the families also stayed on the Plantation grounds but your home was by far the best, not only our feelings but our friends to. Thanks so much again, we look forward to our next visit and hopefully an "unbooked" week at your condo. Sincerely, Sterling & Rebecca Jon & Caleb

I received this email from July 2009 guest. Received your security deposit check yesterday. Wanted to thank you for the opportunity to rent. Your condo was inviting from the moment we opened the door and stepped inside. The ceiling fans in the living room and the master bedroom were gently moving the air, the view to the lake beckoned us in and said "Welcome -- Enjoy Your Vacation." The accomodations were first class with attention to every detail. The large screen TV and WIFI was a hit with the three teens in our party. I cannot say enough. When we plan to return to Myrtle again, your condo will be the first on our list. Again, Maryilyn, thank you for making this a special trip for my family.

Hi Marilyn, just returned from a great four days of golfing down at MB. Your condo is great...from decor to location. Lots of room for the four of us. We enjoyed sitting in the screened porch area in the evening. Thanks for all of the tips, including hooking us up with the Kingston golf pro for bookings. You were right, they had good rates. Hope to be back next year. Chuck, Bill, Tony & Mark

We stayed here over Mothers Day weekend 2008. It was beautiful. Great location, extremely clean, beautiful cond!!!!!! We were taking my daughter to visit Coastal Carolina University and after pricing hotels in the area it was cheaper to rent this condo, with much more room. My family loved it and we will rent this condo again!!!! Marilyn was wonderful to deal with and made the rental process very easy for us.

Hi Marilyn, Can't tell you enough what a great time we had in your condo. Love the decor. I prsonally have been in a lot of the lodge condos at Kingston, and I think that yours is one of the nicest and one of the best views The screened-in porch overlooking the lake is really relaxing after a day at the beach! Enjoyed getting to know you through emails and phone calls. Hope to rent your condo again soon. Take care, Cindy & Jared

We also got to use the beautiful pool which was steps from your unit! I have to say, that my favorite thing to do was enjoy the beautiful view of the lake from your unit.

We had a very relaxing stay at your beautiful condo. I love the location as it's close to the beach and yet far enough away that you don't have a lot of noise -- very serene. Great view too. Your condo had plenty of room for my family of six. Appreciate how clean and welcoming it was. We plan on staying there again - hopefully soon! Thanks for your hospitality.
