My wife and I used to live in the vicinity and we have stayed at numerous hotels, condos, beach houses, etc. However, few offer the benefits of this well equipped condo. Parking was right out front with a luggage cart and elevator very close that take you to the second floor immediately across from the elevator - extremely convenient and east to get in and out with or without disabilities. The condo itself is well equipped with everything you need plus a whole lot more. The decor goes beyond the basic furnishings found in many condos and beach houses. The master bedroom is roomy with two small walk-in closets for his and her clothes along with multiple hangers (not wire). His and her sinks with a nice shower and seat for the disabled, tired, or simply to address the feet. The bed was King Size and very comfortable, two night stands, a nice size dresser and small flat screen for watching those late night shows. The balcony had a very nice patio set that was very comfortable and enjoyable to sit on and watch the fountain, geese, and enjoy your favorite beverage . . . it was coffee for me. The living room was also very comfortable and nicely decorated with a larger flat screen TV with self contained DVD on the side. The kitchen is also well equipped with just about everything you need or think you may need. Nice breakfast bar with three stools and a dining room table and six chairs. There is also another piece of furniture with lots of extras in it and a CD Player on top. There are also lots of extras included . . . just look around and you will find them whether its books, music, magazines, etc. Also, cleaning supplies and extras in the kitchen/pantry. I brought my basket drip coffee filters just like the last 1000 guests - plenty of those! Nice pool inside and out, workout area, tennis courts and golf for those who play - we don't. The beach is five minutes away, Bi-Lo, Food Lion and Wal-Mart are all within 5 minutes - so what you didn't bring, you can easily acquire. It was very convenient for our two Chihuahuas and although we brought our own bags for "pick-up", the complex had a couple of bag stations as well. The owners are plugged-in and answered all our questions beforehand and helped make our trip a success. As a result, I have to give this my highest recommendation and would love to come back here again.

Owner response:Hi Keith, Pat and I are so pleased that you and your lovely wife had a wonderful vacation, thanks for the fabulous review we love all of our guests to be happy and to feel like they are at home, our motto is to treat others as we like like to be treated:-) Look forward to seeing you again.

Hi Diane, We LOVED your home!!!! We had the most relaxing week and if I did not have to be back for an all day CEU today I would have stayed until Friday. It was incredibly hard to leave your home and the beach. The weather was fantastic all six days and on the 7th when we were leaving that morning it was also gorgeous, making it double hard to leave. We so enjoyed sitting on the patio in the mornings and evenings listening and watching the water fountain. We ate our breakfast every morning on the patio. We swam a few times in both pools. The furry kids enjoyed themselves and it was a nice community to walk the dogs. I met Sylvia and Carol and some of your other neighbors. I met Rick the maintenance guy too. Everyone was so nice!!! I just want to move there!!! Thank you for a clean, very comfortable, and nicely decorated home to stay in. I will be back, the sooner the better! Cindi, her Mom, and 2 furry kids C A Interiors, LLC

My Vacation

Guest: Patti (West Virginia)
Date of Stay: 07/09/11 Review Submitted: 07/25/11

We were very pleased with the property. It had all the amenities that were listed, clean, comfortable and only a short distance to the beaches. The property had a great pool area and the indoor pool was very nice also. My grand daughters loved it! We made friends with a local turtle who came to see us everytime we went out on the deck. I had all my questions answered and everything was as indicated. The property was very close to stores, shopping and restaurants. We especially liked the steak house called J Edwards which is closing this summer but the food was wonderful. The water park was a favorite of the girls along with the putt putt golf. The beach was great and we learned to boogie board! Had a great time and would definitely recommend this property to any and everyone.

Owner response:Hi Patti, We are so happy you enjoyed your time at Tupelo Bay and what a treat the girls had seeing the turtles, hope they are there when we go out in a couple of Weeks:-) We haven't tried that Steak House but will give it a try too...... Boogie Boarding is fun!! Hope to see you again next Year! Warm Regards, Diane and Pat

Terrific Tupelo Bay Vacation!

Guest: Anita (Lincolnton, NC)
Date of Stay: 06/14/11 Review Submitted: 06/18/11

We spent this past week at this Tupelo Bay condo! We were astounded at the well taken care of, spacious, beautifully decorated home. We absolutely loved our experience there. We left it with fond memories and tried to leave it as clean as when we arrived. Strange thing happened..when we first arrived the first person who I met was a lady who lived across the street in a 3 bedroom condo. As we began to chat, we found out she and her husband owned our mountain house property in Linville, NC in 1971! Weird huh? All the neighbors wanted us to purchase in the development. I would love to...maybe someday! Thank you for sharing your home.

Owner response:Hi Anita, We are so happy you had a good time, that was strange meeting that couple, life is an adventure:-) Thanks for sharing, Diane and Pat

What a wonderful time we had last month during a week's stay at this beautiful, spacious and truly immaculate condo! Beautifully maintained with everything we could possibly need! Great golf and pool right on premises....even ice cream shop and barbeque area! Close to everything....beach, restaurants, shopping....yet private and secluded as well. Large, oudoor balcony with lovely view of lighted fountain....just beautiful, especially at night....the perfect, relaxing ending to each fun-filled day! The owners are incredibly gracious and could not have been any more accommodating. We look forward to returning! Truly home away from home!

Owner response:Hi Marc and Zerinda, Thank you so much for a lovely review, Pat and I are so happy you had a wonderful time and look forward to you coming back again next Year... Warm Wishes, Diane:-)

Great Spot near Surfside Beach!

Guest: Family of 5 (Maryland)
Date of Stay: 04/18/11 Review Submitted: 04/27/11

This unit was very comfortable for our family of five. The kitchen was well equipped with all comforts of home ready for use. The pictures do not reflect how spacious the unit is. It is decorated in a sunny, beach theme - perfect to put you in the mood to relax and enjoy a visit to Myrtle Beach. The location is convenient to the beach, shopping, restaurants and walking to the facilities on site (pools, fitness center, volley ball, golf, mini-golf, ice cream shop) added to the fun for our family. We never walk to anything! The owners take very good care of the unit - very clean and well maintained. We hope to go back again next year!

Owner response:Thanks Carla, Pat and I are so pleased you had a wonderful time:-)

We had a Wonderful time in surfside, The condo was great , its size was really nice, beautifully decorated , very quite, very clean, everything was great, The shuttle to the Beach was really nice, I would get up in the Morning and drive my car to the Beach and walk the Beach and than return and wake the kids around 8:30 and we would catch the shuttle to the Beach it was wonderful, the drive to the beach was under 3 Minutes Its a perfect location to everything, I loved Murrells Inlet and I also loved taking the kids to North Myrtle after dinner in Murrells Inlet, I would recommend this condo to anyone who wants to stay in a nice area and be close to everything, It was Wonderful Thanks Diane

This is a wonderful, quite unit with great access to shopping, beach and golf course. It is beautifully decorated. The pool is so relaxing! I recommend Salt Creek Restaurant just down the street. You may want to check out Garden City Pier also. This is a good location to ride bikes if you like to do that. Within walking distance of an ice cream shop!

The pictures don't do this condo justice. It's a great size, especially the kitchen and a great layout. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and it was absolutely perfect. Diane was great to work with and I will look this place up specifically if we travel to Myrtle Beach again. The complex was brand new and in a great location, grocery around the corner, as well as close to restaurants. Walk to the pool. Thanks Diane!

My wife and I were not sure if we wanted to stay off the beach but I must say it was very pleasant. We did not have to deal with the continuous flow of people like we do when we stay right on the beach. However, the shuttle made getting to and from the beach very easy. The pool and clubhouse are top notch. We recomend this condo to anyone.

We just returned this past weekend from this lovely condo. We were a bit hesitant to choose something from this site, as this was our first time. But to out delight, it turned out to be a winner. Diane was wonderful to deal with & her condo is gorgeous, spotless and comfortable. We hope to return again the next time we vacation in Myrtle Beach. Thank you so very much for opening your home to us! We loved it!!
