Nightmare on Bittern Dr
Unfortunately, there’s not a whole lot of good to say about our stay. When we arrived on Sunday evening to check in it was easy.When we got to our home, it was dirty the floors were filthy. The rugs were filthy the couch had hair dog hair all over them, or some type of hair, the beds had not been made. We had to wash our bed clothes before we would even sleep in our beds. The vacuum cleaners were so nasty that when I contacted Mrs. Wilkins to tell her these things I told her I was going to go buy vacuum cleaner and she told me oh no please don’t, I will have a maid come in tomorrow and clean it up.And I told her no thank you that we would do it ourselves because it was just all uncalled for not anything as they told in the booking.My daughter cleaned until 4:00 am getting there bedroom acceptable to sleep in.Also before the week was out, I spotted one large cockroach, I have pictures of a medium cockroach and pictures of a small cockroach,and everyone knows where’s there’s 1 there’s always more. That just about put me over the edge.The trash can on the outside was full and very rancid.It would’ve been nice to have had a clean home,that you felt comfortable laying your head down in the bed and go to sleep after traveling 6 1/2 hours but that’s not how it turned out for us. Don’t get me wrong. I thank God that we had a wonderful week together as a family we made it a good week, but the conditions were not as they were stated and the house was dirty.

Family beach trip
We had a wonderful time during our stay. We love staying in this community with all the amenities and private beach access. We had to do some light cleaning prior to unpacking. The floors had debris left over from previous guests and were in desperate need of mopping. Our feet were black after walking barefoot for just a few minutes. However, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the space was plenty for all 4 of us and our dog. We especially enjoyed the front porch with ceiling fans. The location inside the community is perfect. Close to the pool and quick golf cart ride to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Cleanliness
When we arrived, we had to sweep and wipe down counters. It was nothing with the host it was the guest that was in the home before we arrived. I personally had to clean the bathtub before I could shower due to the guest before not cleaning it. There was spills in the floor that wasn’t not cleaned up and chip crumbs in the front. Other than that it was a fabulous house and I would absolutely stay again! And the host was absolutely amazing with communication!!!

Beach getaway
We had a very relaxing few days. If we weren’t at the beach, we were on the great porch. There were a few issues with the floor mats. We also had an issue with trash pickup but that’s because the weekend we arrived, pickup went from twice a week to once a week for the season.

Cute dog friendly place, some issues
Overall, the house was cute and bigger than I thought it would be from the photos. The floors have a lot of soft spots and loose tiles, the little area rugs had some dog feces on it from a prior guest. I had to wash those on our first day so not really sure what kind of system the owners have in place for checking that stuff. I would stay there again but hope for some fixes to the issues I mentioned. We loved the neighborhood, we usually stay on the beach when we visit the area but I didn’t miss that at all… it was a short golf cart ride away. The house had everything you could need… coffee pot and kcup machine, beach gear and toys, the air conditioning kept up great as it was in the 90’s all week.

Great Location
We had a great time staying at Gordon and Mary’s place. Home is well equipped with everything you may need. Very quiet little community - great for families! Glad we were able to rent a golf cart to get to and from the beach as well as to and from the pool. The house needs a bit of updating and many loose tiles in the bedrooms but nothing that would stop me from going back. All in all we had a wonderful time.

Cute little home
Our stay was just fine. We had a tiny issue with parking tags when we checked in but it was resolved the next day. The owners were very attentive and helpful in getting that resolved. The home was clean but had a tiny lingering smell of cigarette smoke. There were plenty of dishes and kitchen appliances as well. The linens were nice and comfy.

Quick Family getaway
This was a hidden gem of a home for our family to enjoy for a long weekend! We were looking for an affordable and homey option that was both child-friendly and pet-friendly and we found exactly what we were looking for with this home and the owners. It’s not often that you find a kitchen equipped with kid friendly dishes, cups, and utensils, basic spices and cooking spray, and even storage bags and cleaning supplies. I felt welcomed and at home from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Prior to our stay, the owners communicated clearly and openly with us about floor repairs that were needed so these issues didn’t catch us by surprise when we arrived and wouldn’t deter us from renting again. One downside was the necessary laundering of sheets and towels prior to leaving. In the future I would opt to use my own sheets (if I had the right size) or even pay a cleaning fee if that were and option in order to avoid running three loads of laundry on check-out morning while also trying to clean and pack with kids. But, it honestly wasn’t too bad. I would definitely rent this home again and hope to do so again for a longer stay in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with my family. We enjoyed our quick trip to the beach!

Pretty good for the most part. Bad floors in kitchen that made it uneasy to be in kitchen, high chair broken, burnt food in bottom of oven, sandy floors, tvs/DVD players didn't work. But did the most important job and housed us with beds for the week

About the host

Hosted by Gordon & Mary Wilkins

Host profile image
Mary and I have been staying in the Myrtle beach area for the last 17 years and eight years ago we decided to invest in this home. The home needed a lot of TLC. Over the last six years we have completely renovated the entire home and it has become a haven for us, our five children and all of the people who have stayed over the years. As a recent retired member of the Air Force after 28 years, I am looking forward to spending a little more time at the home. As a skilled handyman, this will only make the home better as I continue to improve the home through improvement projects.

Why they chose this property

This community is very comfortable and relaxing. the homes are spaced well giving the homes true yards where kids can play. The streets are all 15 MPH and wide enough to accommodate larger vehicles but at the same time safe for children to walk to and from the beach and pools.

What makes this property unique

This property is only 500 feet from the indoor pool which is great on those rainy days when the beach is not an option. this home is very large and very comfortable. It is like being at home away from home as all you need is food and the need to relax as everything is taken care of for you.
