We try to make it to the beach at least once a year; Ohio living doesn't provide much opportunity for an ocean side getaway. Unfortunately, due to hurricane Irma our original vacation to North Carolina was cancelled last minute; literally one day before we were to leave. After almost a year of planning that vacation, we were still determined to make it to the beach! We watched each move Irma made, and as soon as we knew that it was safe to proceed, we frantically began searching for a place to go (already three days into our vaca time). After searching almost an entire day for the "right price/right location" I came across the listing for the Myrtle Beach Penthouse. I reached out to the owner with my fingers crossed that he would see our request at almost 10pm, and also that he would accept our offer so we could leave ASAP! Within minutes I was speaking to Matt, confirming our vacation and exchanging information. After 11 hrs of travel (with a 3 yr old and Irma) we wouldn't get into Myrtle until 2am the following day; thank goodness for key coded entry! The unit is a 13th floor penthouse that only has one other unit on it; we never heard our neighbors. The size of the unit was perfect for our group (five including one child). Having two full bathrooms was a plus! The beds and furniture were comfortable. Getting in so late, we had no idea of the view until the next morning. The beach view from the condo and balcony were absolutely stunning! We spent each morning drinking coffee on that balcony soaking up the view (we were lucky enough to see dolphins). The beach was literally steps away, and the on-site pool provided a fabulous way to cool down from the hot sun! My son LOVED the lazy river and 1ft deep "childrens" pool (located at building next door). The location is very convenient! Everything we needed; grocery store, bar/restaurants, shopping, boardwalk, pier, etc., was only a short walk away. With the exception of traveling to Kings Grille to watch our Tribe win 22 or to put-put at Mt. Atlanticus, we hardly moved our cars! The staff were friendly and Matt was always a text away. Not many downfalls to this place, really. Condo was clean. Decor is simple but modern, and kitchen was stocked with most of what we needed; we cooked breakfast and lunch every day. Hey Matt, a wine opener maybe?
I can certainly say that after our brief five-night stay (we could have easily stayed another day or two), we are certainly looking forward to returning!
