This condo was exactly as described. Very clean, host was excellent and answered all of my questions. Perfect size for a small family. Loved the area. Even with the beach repairs going on we still found a way to enjoy a peaceful relaxing vacation. Would stay here again for sure.

We spoke a number of times during your stay as we genuinely try to ensure that each of our guests has the absolute best beach vacation possible! I wish you had mentioned that you had some parking issues. I could have assisted you as there are many alternatives. In the heart of summer, all resorts located directly on the beach have occasional parking issues due to the increased number of beach goers. Thanks for being a great guest & choosing to stay an extra night! Sounds like overall you had a great time!! Best wishes and God bless.. Kim

This room was absolutely perfect for me. It had everything I needed and the carts and elevator was a huge plus! Easy access to the beach and pool and i loved that the area to clean off your feet was under the building out of the sun. The location was absolutely perfect as well. I will definitely stay here again.

Thank you Linda..It was a pleasure having you as our guests! We’re very excited that in August we are doing a major remodeling to this condo. We are putting in new cabinets in the kitchen adding an island and opening it up the living area. It’s going to look great when finished. We sure hope you will come back and stay with us again.

Girls' Week!

My mom and I stayed at this condo for a week in May and we enjoyed the accommodations close to a lot of restaurants and right on the beach. The updated kitchen was perfect for those who liked to cook. The condo was just the right size for the two of us. We discovered Express Watersports in Murrells Inlet, where we parasailed and enjoyed a sunset happy hour cruise. So many activies we are already looking forward to next year!

Nice place

This is a great little place suitable for two people or so. Nice location, clean, well appointed. Only issue is the parking situation…it can be pretty frustrating! Not nearly enough adequate parking for all guests at this condo. That’s not the fault of this particular unit, just something to keep in mind. Would stay again…thanks!

So Glad you enjoyed your stay! Parking is an issue at certain times for all resorts on the beach.. “Especially During A Holiday Weekend like Memorial Day.” Because of the long weekend, more beach lovers are attracted to the beach than on other weeks. Guests do come and go and there is usually adequate parking at the resort. There is also ample parking close by. I wish I had known, I could have directed you to all the nearby additional parking. Thanks for choosing to stay with us. We hope to see yo back real soon!! Best wishes and God bless.. Kim

Stay was fine needs some updates on the whole property. Elevator stopped working for a day or so. Property’s. Are small but have what you need as long as they are kept up to date.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 22, 2024
Thanks for the review! I’m so sorry that the elevator had issues. This is not the norm. They were working diligently to fix it. It was a control board that the elevator maintenance company had to replace. Our condo has been recently remodeled. Granite counter tops new kitchen cabinets, flooring, etc. Everything inside is up to date. I sure hope it was satisfactory. We strive to keep our place nice for our guests! If there is anything that needed any attention, please call me so I can make sure everything is perfect for all the guests that follow you. Best wishes and God bless.. Kim Schaefer 330.328.7506

Perfect Vacation

My husband, mother-in-law and I had a wonderful vacation at your condo. It was so nice to get to meet you in person while you were in Garden City. The condo was great. Beautifully decorated with the beach theme. I felt right at home. We especially enjoyed being so close to the beach. The weather was great and beach was not crowded. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Fully furnished kitchen with everything we needed. And the hammock on the deck was a special treat. Enjoyed listening to the waves while drinking morning coffee and dozing while on the deck. The only complaint we had was when we had to leave!!! Would love to come back again and we highly recommend this condo for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. Thanks to Kim and his wife for helping us have a great vacation.

Carolina Shores II

This was the perfect place for our family for a quick vacation. The condo had everything you would need to sleep there as well as cook any meals. A very short walk to the beach and convenient to most places. The patio offered great beach views first thing in the morning all the way into the evenings. The check in process was very easy and the instructions given were clear. We had a great time and will definitely go back.

I wasn’t a fan of the parking. People walking by your window at 1am that didn’t care if they woke you up or not. Walls are paper thin. Overall, the condo was nice. Great price & location.
