Entire House / Apartment Sea Cabin by Elliott Beach Rentals (North Myrtle Beach, USA)

Reviewers regularly rave about the stylish décor in these individually-designed apartments, which feature a cool, beachy theme throughout. Pull-out couches and built-in bunk beds are a huge hit, as are TVs with Netflix capability and the breath-taking Atlantic-Ocean views from private balconies.

This property is a winner with families and those travelling with pets. Spacious condos feature separate living room which provides ample space for all the gang. Well-equipped kitchens make light work of feeding families and accompanying critters. The short walk to the beach delights many a parent.

Guest's love having access to this property's private fishing pier, with some lucky travellers claiming they had this under-subscribed amenity all to themselves. Even reviewers without rods like sitting at this peaceful spot and taking in a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic.

After finding mould, dust and hairs around their condo, a handful of guests have felt it necessary to clean before they start their holiday, leading them to question the efforts of some staff. However, most find the apartments appropriately clean and well-maintained.

A couple of reviewers received visits from service engineers and realtors during their vacation rental. However, most enjoy a peaceful stay in this tranquil corner of North Myrtle Beach. Travellers occasionally encounter fellow guests on neighbouring balconies, but invariably find them friendly and respectful.

Several guests have griped about the lack of an elevator in this three-storey property. Travellers laden with luggage, grocery bags or armfuls of beach equipment can find the journey to the third floor extremely hard going, especially in the intense heat of summertime.
