Condo was clean, owner took care of any problems we had immediately. Great location, right next to a neat little park area to get to the beach, can see beach from condo deck. Would stay with this condo again.

Pefect for a quiet get away

The condo was very nice. It is located away from the boardwalk so the portion of the beach that the condo is located near is not as busy. It is nice. Joel was very good to work with and very responsive. We brought our 3 year old and it was great to have her own bedroom and she loved sitting on the deck and playing. There are a couple of things to be aware of, you cannot use a grill, it is located 3 stories up with no elevator, and the sliding door could use some work. Otherwise, It is well worth the money. I can't wait to go back again!

First time in Myrtle Beach

Date of Stay: 08/06/11 Review Submitted: 08/16/11

We had a wonderful stay in Myrtle Beach. Joel's condo is in a great location. The walk to the beach is short and the street you have to cross is not busy. We met some wonderful people at the condo pool...some renters, some owners. Our first trip to Myrtle Beach will certainly not be our last and we would definitely rent from Joel again!!

The beach is just a short walk out of the condo. No need to pack a lunch. You can see the ocean. The deck is nice and big for all to enjoy a cool drink or coffee in the morning sun. I liked the separation between the bedrooms. I would caution anyone with leg or heart issues. You must carry everything up 37 steps. However, the way the walkways are constructed, you can stop every 6 steps. Wouldn't keep me from renting again. Joel was excellent to work with. Looking forward to another trip to MB!

Right on the beach

Date of Stay: 04/02/11 Review Submitted: 04/09/11

...well, about three minutes from walking. But great location. Where to begin? First of all, this condo has everything: do not take any sorts of kitchen utensils unless particular about it. Kitchen is already equipped with dishes, silverware, pizza sheets, cups, glasses, coffee maker, even some spices. No towels, so bring your own - unless you choose not to and have Joel provide them. There is a washer and dryer. My favorite was the guest bedroom, it has a memory foam mattress, plus the master bedroom was very close to street and traffic is hectic until maybe two a.m. and it was very close to a construction area. Also, be prepare to walk up 40 steps till the condo. Other than that, location is great, there are very many restaurants and you will not get bored when it comes to sightseeing and other amusement activities. Condo is clean and very handy, there are two bathrooms, two bedrooms, large living room with dining room and a patio where you can sit and sip morning coffee or tan. Wifi available and Joel is one phone call away and very helpful. Enjoy your vacation!!!

Owner response:Thank you Mandy! Looking forward to having you visit again

My girlfriend and myself decided on Joel's condo for our vacation and were very happy with our decision. The condo was very clean, spacious, full kitchen, and had a great view from the balcony. It was also a pleasure to do business with Joel, he was great to work with. I would highly recommend this condo!

I am so glad I stumbled upon this wonderful property. It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and very conveniently located. Restaurant Row and fun shopping areas are right there. Short drive to anywhere else you want to go explore (Myrtle Beach boardwalk, Broadway on the beach, etc.). And the property renter, Joel, was a very pleasant person to rent from. No surprises, everything was great. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to get away, from younger adults for a golf getaway or lust looking to relax all the way to families with young children or teens because there is something for everyone. I WILL be staying there again.

Owner response:Thanks, Mitch! I hope you can visit again soon

I would recommend renting from Joel, in fact, he will be the one I go to for my Myrtle Beach vacation each year! It was everything I expected. The advertisement was correct and the pictures were not deceiving, the condo looked exactly like the pictures.

Owner response:Thank you Kim! Look forward to having you visit again soon!

We just got back home after spending a week in Myrtle Beach. Joel's condo was the perfect size for our family of 5. Nice and clean condo. Convenient access to the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of the main section. Close to many restaurants, shopping and other attractions.

Great Beach Getaway

Guest: Garrison (Lexington, SC)
Date of Stay: 06/19/10 Review Submitted: 06/29/10

The apartment had two beds and two baths, both with ample space. The living room was perfect (with a pull-out sofa), and the kitchen was fully furnished with pots/pans/plates, etc. He says 3 minutes to the beach and he means it. The beach is right across the road, easily accessible. The apartment itself was very clean and tidy. A Kroger is 5 minutes down the road if you choose to eat in for lunches (we made a few trips for lunchmeats/snacks). The price is great, Joel is a helpful host, and North Myrtle Beach is a nice, quieter version of Myrtle. We made a few trips out to MB for dinner and some windowshopping our last day, and we definitely made the right choice with North MB. If you like Tanger Outlet (we did one day of it), it's just 10 min away. Plenty of nice eateries (Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc.), but if you want the really fancy stuff, you'll need to drive toward MB. TV in living room and bedroom (70+ channels). One minor detraction: third floor, so there's some climbing involved (we kept our heavy beach stuff in the trunk of the car so we didn't have to lug it up).

Joel Haddle was a great help in booking this Condo. I was skeptical at first that something so cheap would be so great, but I was wrong. Me and my friend had an awesome time. Planning on staying here next year.

Joel, thanks so much for a GREAT vacation! Of all the condos we've rented in Myrtle, yours was the cleanest and most comfortable we've ever been in! The location was perfect for walking to the beach, the pier, the little gift shops, and even made our morning exercise actually enjoyable! We will definitely be "regulars". Thanks again!

I rented the unit for myself and a few friends. The condo was, in a word, fantastic. It had everything we needed and we appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the close proximity to the beach (we had actually planned to do more around town, but being so close we ended up spending our time almost exclusively between the beach and condo). I/we have no complaints -- this was an excellent renting experience. Thanks Joel, we hope to do this again next year!

Joel, Thank you for a great place to stay. The location was perfect for us; we love to stay in that area. The pictures do not do the place justice! It was very clean, roomy and close to the beach. The balcony was great to go out to in the morning with a cup of coffee. Thanks again for a great place!

Thank you so much for a great place to stay during our vacation. I brought my 2 year old daughter, and we had an absolute blast! The property is located within a 15 minute drive to many major attractions and resteraunts. The Condo was beautiful, and I loved the view from the balcony, and not to mention the fact that most of the things that you would need for a great day at the beach were already there for our use! Thanks again, we'll definitely be visiting again next year!

My friend and I wanted to just "get away" with her 2 year old daughter. This condo was perfect for us. Steps away from the beach and many other activities in the area (Aquarium, Alligator Adventure, outlet mall, malls, amusement park etc). TONS of restaurants and grocery stores if you decide to stay in and cook. We even ate dinner on the balcony at night since it was so nice. Didn't make it to the pool but we will next time. Did I mention we found our new vacation spot? This may have to turn into an annual trip. Joel was great! Fast in responding...very easy to talk to, and the deposit was returned immediately. Thanks Joel! We will be in touch in the future and DEF recommend this place to everyone!!!

Wow is all I can say. The condo was BEAUTIFUL. It honestly felt like we were at home. Joel made everything so easy. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. The rooms were very clean. The pool..or should I say pools were great! This is where I'll be staying from now on! I had no idea finding a condo online could be this easy. The view was great too!
