KINGSTON PLANTATION RESORT:
Kingston Plantation is a 145-acre resort conveniently located between downtown Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, making both areas only a short drive away. By car, the resort is easily approached by routes 22 or 17. Myrtle Beach International Airport is 13 miles away. The resort features a new 50,000 sq ft sport and health complex (see note below), which includes tennis and racquetball courts, an indoor swimming pool, cardiovascular and weight training, and massage therapy. If golf is your sport, the Rees Jones designed Arcadian Shores golf course next to Kingston Plantation is now a part of the resort, and there are over 100 other courses in the area.

MARGATE TOWER:
The Margate Tower at Kingston Plantation is a luxurious 29-story building with only 9 units per floor. For those familiar with the Margate floorplans, this is an '04' unit (directly facing the ocean). In addition to the many amenities of Kingston Plantation, the Margate features a private pool and hot tub, its own 24/7 building security, and a parking garage reserved for owners and guests. The beach, private pool, and hot tub are just outside the door...

CONDOMINIUM FEATURES:
We invite you to enjoy a care-free vacation in our spacious (2400 interior sq ft) oceanfront home. Direct sky-high ocean views from the living room and two bedrooms. The large open floor plan is ideal for relaxation and entertainment. The fully-equipped kitchen has been recently upgraded with new granite countertops, and features GE Profile appliances with everything you need to prepare and serve your favorite home-cooked meals. A separate laundry/utility room is adjacent to the kitchen; the utility room also provides a 'back-door' entrance to the unit, convenient to use following a day at the beach.

The living room features a 40' Sony HD television with cable and DVD/Blu-ray player, enhanced by a sound bar and subwoofer. Step out from the living room onto the balcony, where you can sit and sip your favorite drink as you enjoy the panoramic views of the beach and ocean.

The master bedroom features a king bed, with direct ocean view and access to the balcony. The large master bath features a walk-in closet, separate shower, and jacuzzi tub. The second bedroom also directly faces the ocean and has two full-size beds, walk-in closet, and its own full bath. The third bedroom has two twin beds. All three bedrooms are equipped with 32' HD flat-screen televisions, and the two larger bedrooms have Blu-ray/DVD players.

We regard this condominium as our beach-home getaway rather than a rental property, and we come here regularly to escape and relax. We welcome guests who want to stay in a condominium that feels like a second home rather than a hotel or rental property, and who will in turn treat it as their second home.

OPTIONAL SERVICES:
We are fortunate to have a superb local staff, who will make sure that everything is ready for your arrival and that your stay is most comfortable. We are also pleased to offer these additional convenience services to make your vacation even more care-free (nominal charges apply):
1) Pre-order your groceries (on-line) and the refrigerator/freezer will be stocked and ready when you arrive
2) Daily housekeeping
Let us know when you make your reservation if you are interested in these service enhancements.

                    We had a wonderful time with our baby son at this condo. The unit was clean and comfortable and the easy access to the beach was a huge plus. Our security deposit was returned quickly. Terry and Ellen were very helpful. We definitely would recommend this to anyone staying in Myrtle Beach!

                    We just returned from our second year staying at this condo. Once again, we were completely satisfied in every way! It's a beautiful condo-clean, well-decorated and well-maintained with a spectacular view! The owners go out of their way to make their guests feel at home and insure a great stay. They are a pleasure to work with and make the check-in and check-out process so simple, the best we've ever had. They go above and beyond in every way. We highly recommend this condo and renting from these owners. We are looking forward already to another visit next year!

                    This condo was super in every way--clean, comfortable, and very spacious and well-decorated. The view is spectacular--VRBO pics don't do it justice. Renters were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end--helpful, well-organized, and very concerned about making us feel at home and ensuring that this rental met, and even exceeded, our expectations. It definitely felt like a home away from home. The check-in/check-out experience was super--the easiest and most convenient we've ever had. We would, without reservation, highly recommend this condo to anyone. Our family is already looking forward to staying there on our next Myrtle Beach vacation!

                    We had stayed at Margate before, so the incredible accomodations were not the main attaction for this unit (although don't under-estimate how incredible Margate is - by far the nicest condo unit in Myrtle Beach). This unit is very well maintained, and is far above any other rental condo we've ever stayed at. Very nicely decorated and well appointed. The kitchen is well stocked for gourmet cooking and dining, with very high-end pots, pans, china, glassware and other cooking necessities. Bath linens were top-end plush towels. You can tell that the owners spared no expense when decorating and stocking this unit, as it feels more like someone's personal home than a rental unit. And as for the owners, they were very easy to work with. Responded immediately to all questions and requests, and overall were extremely pleasant to work with. I highly recommend this condo!

                    What a beautiful beach home! We go to Myrtle Beach 3-4 times a year and this is the best equipped rental we have ever stayed. Terry and Ellen couldn't have made the rental process any easier. The expedient return (less than a week) of the security deposit was a nice surprise. Overall, this was a great renting experience.

                    We had a wonderful time in Myrtle Beach during our most recent visit. It was not our first time visiting Myrtle Beach and staying at the Margate Tower at Kingston Plantation. However, it sure was the most pleasant vacation we ever had in Myrtle Beach, mainly because of our great staying in unit #2604. The day before we left the house, the owner called/emailed us to provide us all information we would need for our arrival. It took us ten hours to drive south. Once we arrived, later in the same evening, the owner contacted us to confirm our safe arrival and to make sure we have everything we need in the unit for our staying. We never received this level of follow up/service on any other prior rentals, at Margate Tower or anywhere else. That personal attention sure started our vacation on a very good note. To our pleasant surprise, the unit appeared to be so much nicer and larger than in the pictures. It was nicely and professionally decorated. It gave us a sense of warm, welcoming, and not overwhelming. The minute we walked in, we felt very relaxed and right at home. Everything seemed to be at the right place. Every room was well equipped, even the laundry room with beach towels and laundry detergents. The kitchen had many small appliances, even a rice cooker and a George Foreman grill. The living area and the bedrooms were all equipped with flat screen TVs/entertainment systems. After we walked the unit, we concluded that we were basically over-packed. Unlike many other rentals, this unit had everything we needed and more. We spent many late afternoons and evenings sitting out on the balcony enjoying the beautiful view of the beach. Being on the 26th floor, we had a spectacular view of the beach and the longest pier on the East Coast. We definitely will come back to this unit on our next visit to Myrtle Beach. We highly recommend this unit/rental to anyone who appreciates the quality and high standard of vacationing. Thank you T. and E. for allowing us a wonderful staying at your unit/home. The fast refund of our security deposit sure ended our vacation also on a very good note. Until next time… The Nguyen Family

                    We enjoyed our stay at the Margate and found condo #2604 to be very spacious, nicely furnished/decorated and clean. We have been staying in the Kingston Plantation area each summer for several years and this was by far the roomiest condo we've rented. Other condos are so tight on space that you feel like you're constantly running into each other or tripping over furniture, but not this one. Additionally, my two teenaged sons each brought a friend so it was nice that each pair had their own rooms and their own bathrooms. One minor complaint is we didn't like having to use a credit card-sized "key" to enter the building from the beach or pool area. With six of us sharing the condo and only three sets of keys, that sometimes meant someone had to wait on another person just to enter the building to use the restroom. Otherwise, everything was great.

                    Owner response: Jami- Thank you for your review and comments. We're sorry about the inconvenience that you had from the beach entrance- it is for security reasons since the building is on the beach. Based on your suggestion, we now provide extra access cards for those families that need them. Terry and Ellen

                    What a beautiful oceanfront home! Very spacious, well decorated, and furnished with everything you'd ever need. Wallmart (for groceries) only a few minutes away. Restaurants, shopping, and entertainment only a short drive. Building was very well maintained and extremely quite on our floor. My 2 teenage kids and their 2 friends had a great time here and loved the fact that each bedroom had their own bathroom. I couldn't have asked for better communications from the owners. In the 10+ years we have visited Myrtle Beach (mostly in the Grand Strand area), this was by far the nicest condo we have stayed in. I highly recommend this condo and my family has already started discussing another trip back hopefully next year.

                  Owner info

                  Year Purchased: 2009

                  About the owner: Our family welcomes you! We live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Kingston Plantation is a 3-1/2 hour drive for us, and Margate is a vacation home where we can relax and unwind, but also enjoy a wide range of amenities and entertainment just minutes away in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach.

                  Why the Owner Chose Margate Tower:
                  We had been regular visitors of Kingston Plantation for ten years. After so many wonderful family vacations here, we decided to purchase our own 'home away from home' at Margate.

                  The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                  Margate Tower is the tallest building along the South Carolina coast- being on one of the highest floors, this unit features unobstructed views of the ocean and beach up to the North Carolina coast. A night view looking to the left from the balcony is shown. The sunrise over the ocean that can be seen from the living room as well as the master and second bedrooms- is even more spectacular and impossible to capture on a photograph- you need to see this for yourself!
