You’re sitting in the catbird seat in more ways than you can shake a stick at, and what a view you have while sitting there! Look below and watch waves roll in; look ahead (we're on the 17th floor) and on a clear day you can see France. So what am I referring to when I say the ‘catbird seat? You have a tremendous selection of outstanding condominiums to choose from. In many ways you cannot go wrong. Probably the most important thing to you is the price of your rental. Let me say quite simply, shop 'til you drop. Find a price more reasonable than ours, and I will beat it; assuming apples to apples.
As you read through the other listings that you may have an interest in did anyone mention their cleaning service? Hands down, ours is best. On the very off chance you find a speck of dust or a grain of sand, you will be given their phone number in advance. Call them to come re-clean. We have an advantage over other places where different cleaners parade through. We have the same housekeeper week to week and ours takes a personal interest in our place. We reward them well for the extra care they give. We also make it very easy to clean like having tile flooring in all the traffic areas (the bedrooms are carpeted). You will not start your vacation off on the wrong foot if we have anything to say about it.
And while we are talking about the wrong foot, check-in (4 PM) and check-out (10 AM) is a breeze; all done by mail and phone. Nothing starts off a vacation worse than a long check-in procedure. Certainly you have done that before and know the pain. Check out mapquest to see how easy we are to find: 102 N. Ocean Blvd, North Myrtle Beach, SC(South Carolina....don't put in France by accident!).
The Ashworth is similar to about a dozen high rises in the North Myrtle Beach area: oceanfront, indoor swimming pool, outdoor pool, kiddie pool, mega hot tub, lazy river, fitness room, ample on site parking. There are two very subtle differences between ours and all the others. It might not make a lot of difference to you but it did to us. Look at the picture to the upper left; to the right and left of that building are low structures which means the beach is less crowded. Going north on the beach is less populated because you enter an area where there are only houses. The second difference is our proximity to downtown of the city of Ocean Drive, an easy walk to lots of shopping and eateries. None of the other buildings are so conveniently located.
You might think of something to add to the condo before you go that would enhance your stay. I once had someone suggest a bread maker. We put one in. It rusted out before anyone made the first slice of bread. We did not learn our lesson. Every suggestion is a command to us.
My first priority is to make sure we meet your needs. The pictures certainly help to explain things. My rambling on is of some good as well, or at least I'd like to think so. But to tell you the truth.....and I know you like it when I do! I think it is the comments of our past renters that really add to your education regarding how suitable we will be for you. Please take a moment to read them. It will give you even a better feel for the place.
There are sixteen pictures on the web site. That is the limit VRBO will allow. You know what they say: 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT AS PICTURES! Please review the video by clicking on the video icon, upper left above the first picture. It helps to tie in all the still pictures. I have more detailed information that will be of interest I'll be happy to email you. It will serve you well to visit the other links below to learn more about the area. I'd love to hear your questions too. All can be done simply by filling out form to the right. Then click 'Email Owner'. Please check the calendar and our rates before emailing. They are both up to date. Rates are NOT subjected to change.

Owner's Map of Ashworth
My name is Peter Cole and I am the owner’s representative. I wear many hats: an oceanfront, resort, rental condo owner; property manager; rental agent; dog tender (That is Woody in the picture. Spends most of his day in the chair across from my desk watching me work.) and favorite; loving husband. As a Medicare card carrying senior, I look back over a full life. My chosen life ‘occupation’ (my Mother could never bring herself to call it a job) was to take teens on cross country camping trips; 3000 teens in all, spanning 33 years. My nephew Doug slipped into my shoes as I slipped into my retirement. My friends and relatives worried about my having too much time on my hands in retirement so they gave me their resort properties to manage. My reputation as a good manager/agent grew. Now 12 properties fill my stable. It was 1967 when I took ownership of my first rental property. In the years since, we have bought and sold 11. I come to you with a lot of experience. I do not take lightly the importance of your vacation. I want to match your needs with the properties I represent. There are 16 pictures, a video and lots of verbiage. I am here to answer all your questions.

My family stayed at the Ashworth the end of June. It was perfect! My husband, myself, our 3 kids as well as my brother and his family and my mother all enjoyed the condo very much. It was actually roomier than the pictures show. We had enough space for all of us and then some. The view was amazing! It is wonderful for children. There are many pools to choose from and the beach and ocean only steps away. We were surprised to find a small carnival just a block away from our condo which the whole family enjoyed. We have no complaints at all. When we return to Myrtle Beach someday, we will definitely be staying at the Ashworth again. Thank you for a wonderful, stress free vacation.

The condo is laid out very nice, if you have company they have their privacy. We love the location just off Main St, & yet it is very peaceful. The people that you have to deal with concerning the condo are the best ever :)....We stayed in the winter months....

We had a great month Would recomend this unit anyday Thanks Peter Nona and Wayne
Owner response:We loved having you. You took such good care of the place our cleaners didn't have anything to do when they came in after you. We can't wait for you to come back and see the new carpet that we had installed in early December.

I traveled with three longtime friends to North Myrtle Beach during the second week of September. We stayed at 1705 Ashworth and found this beautiful condo to be perfect for our needs. With four bedrooms and three baths, we had plenty of privacy and space. I was concerned about being on the seventeenth floor; but as soon as we saw that gorgeous view from the balcony, we were hooked on this location. The kitchen has most anything you might need. The family pictures and pretty beach-themed artwork/decor throughout the condo made us feel right at home. The less-populated location of this building was definitely a plus because the beach and surrounding area were never overly crowded. The Ashworth has three pools - indoor, outdoor, and children's - as well as a spa and lazy river. The pools aren't large, but are carefully maintained. They were sparkling clean and certainly enjoyed by all in my group. There is a well-kept picnic area with grills and tables. Also, there are four elevators which are surprisingly fast. We had very short waits, if at all. Peter Cole is in charge of renting the condo for the owners and his good communication was a definite factor in our choice of Ashworth 1705. He answered the many questions I sent his way, and even had a TV put in the one bedroom that didn't have one previously. Now all bedrooms have TVs. All in all, we had a great week and would certainly be happy to stay there again.

We stayed a week over Easter and had a really good time. The location is convenient to lots of stuff, the condo has a great view and had virtually everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. The description is accurate, and we thought it was a really good value for money. We'd stay again if we returned to Myrtle Beach and needed a place the same size.

I just wanted to tell you again how perfect this unit was for our vacation!! Our GPS originally took us to Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach and I was panicking because of the sheer number of people...only to find out that we weren't at The Ashworth on Ocean Boulevard in NORTH Myrtle Beach. I loved the location, the ocean front balcony, the parking garage, the weather, the sun and sand....Georgio's Pizza, the ice cream shop next door....Walmart less than a mile away...it was hands down the best we've ever had! We'd love to make it a two week stay next time :) Thank you again!

Although we had travelled to Myrtle Beach (for golf) in past years, this was our first time trying private rental accommodation and what a pleasant surprise! The value for money is unbeatable! We spent a terrific week at 1705 Ashworth in early November/08. We were not disappointed in the least. Unit was exactly as advertized: clean, spacious, well appointed, well stocked and well maintained. The balcony was great - our group of 4 ate several suppers overlooking the ocean as the sun went down. The bbq grilles on site were well used - as was the hot tub (which is really well designed - 3 alcoves allowing privacy for several groups at once). Direct beach access, secure covered parking, no problems with elevators, security, great location, all in all - just a fantastic time. And Peter Cole made everything SO easy. We're already looking forward to next year's trip.

We stayed at the Ashworth the week of 9/6/08. Our only problem was avoiding hurricane "Hanna" as she roared to the shore the night before our arrival! But, all prevailed, she missed Myrtle Beach and we had a wonderful vacation. We had a total of 3 couples in the condo and I must say having separate bed and bathrooms was a big plus. This condo is very roomy, accomodating and best of all...the beds were really comfortable! The view from the balcony was wonderful and we spent each night sitting out there talking and enjoying life. The convenience to everything was really nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit; highly recommend it and will most definitely visit again!
