Call us, if you need assistance during your stay, we are here for you, and would appreciate that very much.

All debris, rubbish and discards should be placed in the dumpster, and soiled dishes/pots/pans cleaned. Leave the trash right outside of the door in the silver trash can by the elevator or if you go down the hall you will see signs for " Trash chute". Dispose of all trash, leave Parking Passes & Key Cards on the counter for the next Guest, and please ensure that, the AC & Ceiling Fan is on, all windows & doors are closed when you leave the unit.

 

Please select from the top Menu the 'FAQ' tab for more information, and do not hesitate to ask us any questions, we are here for you. Your questions/suggestions help us improve our service.

GUEST COMMENTS:

 

Our vacation was wonderful - your condo was absolutely beautiful - we couldn't have asked for a better view of the ocean - the only thing that we noticed was that there was not enough blankets as the two beds were used and the pull out couch - other than that you were very accomodating.  
We would certainly consider vacationing at your condo again hopefully next year.  Myrtle Beach is absolutely beautiful and there is certainly lots to do.  The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Thank you again.

Thank you so much for the beautiful roses!  What a wonderful surprise!  They added a romantic touch to our stay.  We most certainly had a great vacation!  With golf, swimming,  singing at Broadway Louie's, having fun at Crocodile Rocks, seeing "Elvis" at Studebakers, the Alabama Theatre, and a great dinner at Sea Captains House, we had a full week!  And it was always great to return home to your lovely accommodations at Blue Water.

The exhibits at Ripley's Aquarium are decorated with over 50 Christmas trees during the holiday season. In nearby downtown Conway, Rivertown Christmas features river cruises, carriage rides, and pictures and stories with Santa. There are several New Year's celebrations to choose from, such as the 2001 Nightclub Weekend Extravaganza, or the upscale celebration hosted by the Avista Resort. Since Myrtle Beach winter rentals are priced so low, visitors have plenty of money left over for a romantic Valentine's Day meal at any of the huge selection of local restaurants. Myrtle Beach, SC winter rentals provide a great experience.
