Two other family members and I spent two nights in Myrtle Beach for a family wedding. I specifically searched for a property that was within two miles of the wedding venue so that we wouldn't have far to drive in the dark at the conclusion of the reception (We are all in our 60s-80s and don't like to drive at night in unfamiliar places.) This property checked that block.
Check in at Elliott Property Mgt. Co. was 3 miles from our condo. Check in process was easy and staff was friendly. Staff didn't tell me to check in again at the property, but I saw that step highlighted on the information sheet in the envelope I was given. When I went to the property's desk to check in, they were confused by my asking to check in as I was not renting directly from that property. I showed her what I was given by Elliott (key card for elevator and trash chute). She checked it and told me it was expired and kindly issued another key card. (This process could probably be more seamless.)
The property itself was clean, as represented in photos, well equipped, comfortable, and with everything in working order except for the toaster. (We didn't realize the toaster wasn't working until our last morning, so there was not time to inquire about it or let the management company know before we left.). In the evenings, we did not hear noise from other guests as is often the case in other properties. That was a definite positive. Although the property is not ocean front, we had a great ocean view, and it is a quick (one block) walk to a public beach access point. The only reason I rated 4 stars, rather than 5, on cleanliness, is that the bedspread on the king bed has some rather large dark stains on it.Because the spread is navy blue, I didn't see them initially. Probably just suntan oil/lotion stains, but it needs to be replaced. I realize this isn't a housekeeping issue but rather something the owner needs to handle. Also, make sure to read the fine print as it relates to linens. Even though linens were provided with our rental, that did not include a dishrag/dishtowel, bath mat/rug, or hand towels. Only sheets, pillowcases, and two towels and washcloths per bedroom are included. That is clearly stated in the contract, and it is my fault for not reading all of the fine print. When I saw "linens are provided at this property" I assumed the basics would be provided. With two of us in our 80s, it is unsafe to step out of the shower/tub onto tile without some type of rug.
