Date of Stay: 05/05/12 Review Submitted: 05/14/12

My wife and I just returned from a one week stay at Camelot. The first thing we noticed was that the condo was exceptionally clean, bright and inviting. The views from the balcony overlooking the ocean are beautiful. The layout would be great for either a family or two couples. The interior parking is a plus in that our car stayed cool out of the sun during the heat of the day. I would definately recommened this unit and we will definately stay there again.

EXTREMELY nice stay at the camelot. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!

Guest: Lauren (Georgia)
Date of Stay: 06/04/11 Review Submitted: 06/20/11

We stayed here the first week of June for a" too good to be true "rate. A fraction of what the actual hotel charges. Very impressed with our stay in the 17th floor unit. Brian was incredibly nice, professional and very easy to work with. check-in and check-out was smooth. The condo was beautifully maintained, very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was so pretty and stocked well. Beds were comfortable. Carpet was impressively clean. No black feet which in myrtle beach is extremely common in even the very nicest of places. The balcony view was breathtaking and therapeutic. We took our 3 children who loved all the amenities. The pools and lazy river were clean and perfect. The oversized hot tubs were also very nice and actually hot. I definately favored the outside hot tub in the evenings where I could hear the live music from Bummz beach bar and grill next door. I enjoyed all the picnic tables under umbrellas in the very nice grassy area to eat lunch at. Location was awesome. Everything at your fingertips. Broadway at the beach right up the street. We have been coming to Myrtle for 20 yrs.and have stayed in many nice places oceanfront but truthfully have never found a better overall value than the camelot. Paticularly Brians 17th floor unit. We cannot wait to return. I promise you will not find a nicer, cleaner oceanfront condo with a full kitchen and the great amenities for a better rate than what Brian is charging even at summers highest rate. We were sad to leave but extremely thankful for the true blessing that Brians condo brought to our family.

Owner response:Lauren, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with other travelers about how you enjoyed your stay at the Camelot please do come back again. Brian

not 'fit for a king'... :(

Guest: army family (NC)
Date of Stay: 04/30/11 Review Submitted: 06/01/11

this was NOT what i was expecting. this condo suite 'fit for a king' was not much more than a glorified remodeled hotel room with a kitchenette, at best. this 'luxury' suite had no where to eat in the kitchen and the only table supplied was much smaller than a folding card table. this unit meant to fully accommodate up to 6 barely had eating space for 4, and that is only if the only items placed on the table were the plates... the walls were so thin we could hear the next room's occupants, not to mention the ones from above also, so for my husband who is a light sleeper since his army service days, trying to get sleep was nearly impossible. i was told there was a separate private bedroom but all this bedroom was was nothing more than 2 beds in a room. when we first walked into this luxury 'fit for a king' suite we thought we'd walked into an econolodge efficiency room. no privacy from the kids... the bathroom had absolutely no place for supplies and 'luxury' to me is not having to live out of the luggage. the shower head made a very high pitched squeal so even a shower was not relaxing. the couch sleeper mattress was not much more than a thick blanket and before my kids could sleep on it, i had to take all the sheets and comforter from the other bed in the 'bedroom' and extra blankets from the closets to pad the springs on the 'mattress'. on monday of our stay, the pools were closed for repainting for 3 days, a job the manager said was done at that time every year... we were not told about this before renting, so plans of relaxing by the pool was squashed. this 'indoor' pool and lazy river was NOT indoor... the 'indoor' pool and lazy river are under a covering fully opened to the outside elements. it looked like it had at one time been closed in by glass between the arching posts but inside from the elements, this pool area was not. what a waste of time and money. i'm just glad i didn't pay full season rates or i'd really have been mad! i will NOT be back to the camelot! i doubt very seriously this will be allowed to get posted but it should to let people know, honestly, what type of room this is. this is a hotel that was sold to make timeshares out of... not a luxury resort as it's billed! some might enjoy this kind of setting but for this family of 4 used to staying in condos that offer peace, quiet and a true 'home type' setting, this was a sore disappointment.

Owner response:As the Owner I am sorry to read this review that our 1 Guest was not satisfied with the Condo. I have addressed & looked into the complaints as follows : Accommodations for 6 simply means the number of people that can sleep in 1 bed. This unit has 2 Queen Size Beds & a Queen Size Sleeper Sofa 2 ea. = 6 people The dining table is only 28" square due to the size of the unit therefore it is not suitable for serving large meals but sufficient for Pizza, Chicken, Burgers, ect. The Coffee table would easily serve 2 children but not 2 adults. Disturbances : When Disturbances occur the only recourse is to report them to Security I was never notified & Security probably wasn't either. Privacy : There is a door between the Bedrm Area & the Kitchen. There is another door between the Kitchen & Living / Dining Areas. Shower Head : I personally checked the shower head myself & found nothing unusually loud or noisy. Bathroom Storage : There is a 4 Draw portable storage bin under the sink to store anything in the line of toiletries, soaps, wash cloths, even towels. There is 3 mounted clothes hooks on the back of the bathroom door PLUS 2, 36" Towel Bar Racks. Sleeper Sofa Mattress : Standard 4" thickness none are as comfortable as a thicker regular bed mattress, but was found to be in good usable condition. Pools : Owners are never told the exact date when anything is being remodeled or repaired due to contractor scheduling, thus we cannot relay that to our Guests. The Lazy River is indoors & the enclosure is only installed during Winter season not in April. Pool re-opened after 3 days & Guests had at least 4 days to use the pool.

Wonderful View & close to all Attractions

Guest: bolb (Ft. Wayne, In.)
Date of Stay: 05/07/10 Review Submitted: 05/12/10

Hello Brian Just wanted to drop you a quick line and THANK YOU for renting your condo to us. We had a wonderful time and was impressed with how smoothly things went renting directly from you. I had never used the VRBO site before and was little Leary at first, but I am very glad I did and found you on there. The place was very nice and clean and had everything we needed. The only draw back for us was counter space in the kitchen, but we use the little table from the patio and got by while fixing food. Your condo on the 12th floor was very nice and the view was wonderful. I also liked how close it was to most attractions. I will definitely pass your name on to others and I am sure we will be returning customers as well. Thanks again. We loved it! Feel free to post my response if you want. Brenda from Indiana

Hi Brian,I just wanted to let you know that I was very happy with your room. It was very clean and smelled really good when we got there. The furniture was very nice and comfortable. We were very happy to have 2 TV's and DVD players. The only recommendation I would have would be that the kitchen have a few more supplies on hand. Thanks again, Deborah

Owner response:Deborah, thanks for bringing to my attention about the Kitchen Supplies we will review what we have & replenish them as needed. Brian - Owner

My daughter and I travel together often(mother daughter weeks away). We rented a unit on the 17th floor of the Camelot from Brian and it was exactly what he said ... I sure miss sitting on the balcony every morning with my coffee, the breeze and watching the ocean. Thank you Brian you were great to deal with and your place was wonderful, clean and a view to die for...... We will be back !!! Patti and Samantha

The condo was very clean, private, and well maintained with an excellent view of the ocean. Very cozy and relaxing!! The pools were great. The lazy rivers were shaded and perfect for getting away from the heat and sun when we needed it. We will definitly be back and hope to stay in this same location if it's available.

We stayed for a week at your condo in June. It was everything we expected and more. We loved the location, being near the pier and everything. We would love to come back again soon. We had 2 teenagers with us and they loved it there. The Camelot resort itself is very nice and is well kept. Thanks for the extras we asked for. You were most helpful Brian. We have recommended your condo to our friends. Hope to stay again. The Richards family

Brian, Diane and I just got back from Myrtle Beach and we had a great time and a lot of it had to do with the "worry Free" status of the condo. Check in happened in less than a few minutes and we were in and unpacked and on the beach in thirty minutes. Can't think of one thing that we did'nt have in the condo and it was clean & very comfortable almost too comfortable. Thanks for letting us stay and we will be glad to give you referals. I will leave a review on Trip Advisor and forward anyones e-mail to you that is interested. We plan on coming back in November, I'll be getting back to you soon. Pat & Diane Lippy
