We had 5 people stay and everyone slept comfortably. It was in a beautiful location. Would stay again. My only issue was that with 2 elevators and 15 floors....there was a lot of wait time with elevators. While that isnt a host issue, it is just a notice of the property. But that is a small price to pay for such a great location!

Was an older property, but most areas were well maintained. The resort was about 25% full while we were there, so no wait on the elevator or crowd around the pool. The host was exceptional. The room was ok. Beds were great, but sofa and chairs need to be cleaned or replaced. Everything worked as it should. We ate out every meal and did not use the kitchen. Mostly just slept there. We did enjoy our time at the beach.

When we first arrived the room was not clean, and it smelled like dirty mop water. The shower curtain was soured stinking up the whole condo. I notified that Jay of the issues, and he immediately began to remedy the problem. He was able to get the shower curtain replaced that day, but the cleaners would not arrive until the next morning. So my wife and I cleaned it ourselves, and then the cleaners cleaned it again that morning. Without asking, Jay refunded the cleaning fee back to my account.

The host was very communicative! There were a couple issues with the condo and Jay communicated well once I reached out to him about them. It was a nice place to retreat to after spending the day at the beach or on the town. The view of the ocean was beautiful. It was stocked with all of the cooking equipment we needed.

Sorry the Blue Crab did not meet your "standards".....which is actually surprising since you left the place completely trashed. Had to pay the cleaners extra for how you left our place. Please don't come to our place again. Jay

About the host

Hosted by Jay Welborn

Host profile image
My wife and I met at Myrtle Beach AFB back in the late 80's while I was stationed there as a young Airman. After we married, we spent the next 20+ years traveling all over the world as a member of the Air Force to include Japan, Hawaii, and Germany. When we came to our final station at Shaw AFB in Sumter SC before retirement, we immediately came to the beach to catch up on old memories. By this time we had 5 children and we wanted a place where we could bring the kids to the enjoy the beach. After searching many condos, we fell in love with the Caravelle Resort the moment we came upon the grounds. This was the one. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we love visiting here ourselves.

Why they chose this property

The Caravelle offers so much for family members of all ages. It's close to the thick of things that Myrtle Beach has to offer without being to close to the downtown traffic and "rowdy" crowds. The Caravelle is the best family vacation place and thus was an easy choice when we decided to buy.

What makes this property unique

The views from the balcony and our favorite spot to sleep (the Murphy Bed) in the living room area so we can listen to the ocean all night long is absolutely our favorite part of our condo. Of course the kids LOVE the swimming pool areas, lazy river and swimming/walking the beach looking for shells.
