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.
