This was a wonderful location. Condo was clean.great location. Everything we needed. Loved sitting on patio. Only thing that kept from being 5 stars was we were not able to have patio doors or any windows open. It would of been perfect to hear the ocean while inside the condo.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo, located in a very desirable section of NMB. The unit is furnished with good quality comfy furniture, kept neat and tidy, has well stocked kitchen and is well maintained and very clean. The owners were very accomodating and pleasant to do business with. They take pride in their property and pay attention to extra details. We definitely recomment this condo and hope to return.

Clean space with nice amenities

We enjoyed our stay this week in this condo. The outside storage closet was very nice as we were able to store our chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys. The condo is well stocked with silverware, dishes, and basic items for cooking. Very nice washer and dryer in the unit. Plenty of space for our family of 8 to spread out. Balcony was very spacious. Parking is provided across the road. We didn’t find the height posted prior to our trip. The clearance is 6 ft 4 inches. Elevators in the garage were down the first couple days of our trip but that is no reflection on the host. Excellent communication with the host and owner direct.

we booked this room a year in advance. my wife kept counting the the months, then weeks, then days and before we knew it the time to leave for our family vacation had arrived! this was the first time that we and our two grown kids and our grandkids took a trip together. after spending a week in this luxurious room no one wanted to leave. it was so quiet that we thought we were the only ones in the whole facility. the room was so much better than any other place we had been at before. we could tell that a great deal of consideration was made in selecting the furnishings...very first class. the kids have already asked that not only can we take another trip next year, but can we get the very same room?

Pro and con

This unit felt spacious with plenty of seating for our group. Unit was well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. We all were very comfortable in this unit. The children loved the whirlpool at the end of the beach day! Owners were quick to respond to my questions. Ocean views were amazing. This unit is on the 16th floor. When there is high winds it sounds like a wind tunnel and siren coming in the entrance area where two of the bedrooms are located. This was not heard in the master bedroom, dining and living room area. Fortunately we only had 2 nights of high winds. Unfortunately, during our stay only one elevator was in operation out of three and the lazy River was under repair and not working. These were maintenance issues and outside the control of the property owners. Overall, we felt “right at home” in this unit and enjoyed our stay.

Easter Vacation 2015

Our family of four (Mom, Dad, two school-aged sons) stayed at the unit the week before Easter, 2015. We found the accomodations to be clean and roomy with three spacious bedrooms, kitchen, dining, and large balcony. The oceanfront views were spectacular, even at night we could see lights from other hotels up and down the beach for several miles. The master bedroom had a walk-in closet, which made my wife happy, and a jacuzzi in the bathroom, which made me happy. Plenty of parking, especially in the garage across the street, never a problem. A storage room just outside the door to the condominium was handy, a nice place to store our sandy beach belongings. The large-sreen HDTV in the living area was very nice as we relaxed in the evening. We enjoyed the two outdoor jacuzzi's and heated indoor pool, the outdoor pool looked nice but too cold to swim in during our late March/early April stay. We booked the unit through VRBO and the owners were extremely accomodating, and I will stress extremely. We sometimes judge our accomodations on whether or not, if given the opportunity, we would stay there again. Would we stay at the unit again if given the oppprtunity ? Yes, absolutely !

The property was a great family vacation destination. The beach, the pools and the large balcony made for a great week of family time. The kitchen was well equipped allowing us to cook all meals at the property, and enjoy more time at the beach! The owner communicated well for check-in, check-out, and made sure we knew he was available for any issues or questions.As the owner suggested, we rented the beach chairs and umbrellas through the city. We would highly recommend this, as it was less we needed to bring on our trip and this reserved us a nice spot on the beach right in front of the property.

About the host

Hosted by J & J Alford Inc. ; Chris Alford

Host profile image
We're from a small community in NC. I went to Wake Forest University on a partial baseball scholarship and my wife went to East Carolina University. As a young boy that was part of a rural farm family, my first baseball was a corn cob and my bat was a tobacco stick. I started in center-field for Campbell JC and Wake Forest with borrowed cleats and glove and was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1950. I was in the US Army at Fort Jackson, SC during the Korean War (while there, I played baseball against Willie Mays (post vs. post to entertain the troops) and I hit a fly ball that hit him in the head when the sun got in his eyes and I played some professional baseball in Nova Scotia, Canada and Edenton, NC. We are both retired public school teachers. I was a US history teacher, driver's education teacher, a baseball and basketball coach and a principal for most of my career. My wife taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade and taught 3rd most of her career. We both taught Sunday school at our local church for 30+ years. I was a Deacon, choir member and church moderator for around 63 years. I retired in 1985 and then sold real estate for 20 years. My wife retired in 1991; she took off 7 years while our children were young.

I've been a member of Lions Club International since 1967 and a charter member and 3 time president of our local club. I won the International Melvin Jones Fellow Award for Humanitarian Services in 1991. I also served on the local school board for 8 years after retiring. We support our local public school and attend many sporting events there.

Our son Chris has handled our rentals and much of the upkeep since we purchased the condo.

Why they chose this property

We've always loved the Crescent Shores location and we used to talk about that location when the old Rock'n K Motel was there. We first visited the Grand Strand in 1947 and honeymooned there in 1954. We sometimes rented from Vanna White's mom and dad when they had a real estate company next to where the Crescent Shores parking deck is now. We've visited and stayed in 100+ Grand Strand condos, houses and motels over the years and we still visit new ones today to see what they offer. We migrated mostly to North Myrtle Beach in the early 1970's.

When we chose Crescent Shores, we did it after an extensive search and we are happy with our choice. Our condo represents the sale of a family farm and a like-kind tax exchange; it does not represent public school teacher retirement!

What makes this property unique

We love the balcony view and sitting on it to watch nature and the lovely Atlantic. The sound of the ocean waves are quite tranquil. I'm a avid golfer and my wife enjoys riding the carts and looking at the courses. What better place to do it than the Golf Capital of the World? We've played them all so far and some many times; we're just waiting for the next one to open. It was a great place to visit as a young family in the 60's and it's a great place for granddad and grandmother visit today; especially when the grandchildren visit with us. Crescent Shores works very well for us and our condo has all the comforts and features of home and more. We personally take care of it to suit us and our renters.
