Oh boy, I enjoyed myself. The description and pictures were accurate. It was clean and well kept. The furniture was beautiful and the condo was so personable. I have visted myrtle beach many time and stayed in many places, however this was one of the best. I would surely recommend this home to friends and family. Also, I enjoyed corresponding with the owners.

Owner response:We are always pleased to hear back from our guests either negative or positive as it helps us identify issues that may need addressing. Thank you so much for the positive review and delighted you enjoyed our condo and your stay!

The Site is magnificent

We had a great time at the Kingston Plantation. The site is magnificent with pools, trails, great beach and amenities. Very central location. The condo is very clean and comfortable for accommodating a family. It's worth the investment and it reflects accurately the description. It lacked a few basic necessities, that would make our stay more enjoyable (i.e.: cleaning products, paper towels, salt & pepper, beach chairs, etc...). We had to buy everything from scratch and we left them there for the next tenants to appreciate. We tried to keep the condo spotless and there wasn't even any Windex to keep the glass table clean. I would certainly return and would recommend to others. The owner is responsive and it shows that he takes care of his condo.

Owner response:We are glad you enjoyed your stay and will take into account your suggestions about leaving some cleaning products available for our guests. We do provide starter paper towels/toilet paper for our guests but most people prefer to bring or purchase their own condiments. Thanks again for assisting with troubleshooting the MBR TV problem. It's been replaced and you should have received or will receive shortly a check for your inconvenience.

AWESOME CONDO

Beautiful condo with great views. Everything is very clean and comfortable! Very convenient to all the restaurants,sites, and shops. The beach and pools are just a short walk away. You can also walk to the Apache Pier from the condo. They have lifeguards at the beach all day which makes you feel more at ease when traveling with small children. Kingson is a very nice resort and the people are friendly. Also has close parking. This was one of the best condos we have ever stayed in and look forward to staying here again! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words and endorsement of Kingston Plantation. It's one of the main reasons we purchsed there. We hope you visit us again for your next stay at the beach!

We had an exceptionally good time on our vacation & your condo was absolutely perfect! Loved the custom decor and floorplan, The kitchen was over-equipped with more than we needed.

Fabulous Week at the Beach

We had a fantastic time! The condo was very clean and comfortable with great views. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable which can be hard to find. It was updated nicely and had everything we needed! We love Kingston and this has been one of our favorite condos to stay in. We will definitely be back!

Owner response:We feel truly blessed to have found this place and to be able to share it with guest like you and become friends in the process. We are also very fortunate to have found the cleaning/maintenance couple that care for and clean our property after each guest. All of our feedback mentions how clean they find our place which reflects so well on them and our relationship with them. Thank you for your kind words and very happy you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again in the future!

Great summer vacation spot

Guest: Valley Traveler (Winchester, VA)
Date of Stay: 08/29/09 Review Submitted: 09/06/10

Just returned from an excellent week at the Sand Castle in the Sky. The location was perfect for our family. Kingston Plantation is a wonderful community. We enjoyed going for walks in the community and feeding the ducks. The SouthHampton Building where this unit is located is directly on the beach. There are pools on each side of the building. The larger pool is open until 10 at night which my daughter loved. Easy beach access with a shower to get the sand off. Lifeguards at the beach for the entire day. We went at the end of the summer so it was very quiet. We had easy access to the pools at both the Hilton and the Embassy Suites (not sure if the Hilton gate is always open during the busy times of the year). Both had a restaurant and a bar open during the day. Embassy Suites had a DJ that played music by request in the afternoons. My daughter loved that. All the pools were very nice. The Embassy Suites also has a small waterpark. Access to the waterpark is not supposed to be open to those renting units privately but they let us in at the end of the day one afternoon. The unit itself had everything we needed. We were 3 adults and one child. Both bathrooms have a hairdryer. The kitchen was well stocked, even has a George Foreman grill. Internet access is only available in the lobby but there are comfortable tables and couches down there to sit and check your email if you bring your computer. The unit is very close to restaurant row with lots of all you can eat seafood buffets (we tried this once-that is really all we could do that!). Easy drive to Barefoot Landing. We also drove to the boardwalk and to Broadway on the Beach. It was the end of the summer so the traffic was not an issue for us at all. The fitness center at Kingston Plantation is very nice....$10 per day. There is a weekly rate that I don't remember. For shopping there is a SuperWalmart very very close, right across from the outlets. We will defintitely be returning to Kingston Plantation.

Owner response:Wow! What a great review! We are truly pleased you enjoyed our condo and your vacation. We hope you will stay with us again!

Best Ever

This condo is one of the best I've ever experienced. Everything looked brand new.... there were 2 porches with different views..... the shower even had a view. The bedrooms were large. The keypad to enter the condo was very convenient. The televisions were large and up-to-date. The location was great. I would definately stay here again.

Owner response:We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to your next visit!

Graet Condo!

Pictures don't do it justice. It is a "Castle in the Sky"! My family and I stayed Easter weekend 2010 and we were pleasantly surprised at how nice the unit was. Quiet, comfortable and spacious. It is everything as adervertised. The recent modeling is very much noticed. We have found our new home at the beach and will stay again....

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words Richard. We look forward to your next visit!

Overall, what a fantastic experience and a time filled with valuable memories!!! We will DEFINITELY be renting this beautiful place for years and years to come!
