Myrtle Beach Message Board

I'm enjoying your "live" report. I never really thought about walking through the residental area. I think I will give that a whirl this trip.

JoAnn, I also enjoy walking around the neighborhoods in Surfside. Of course, I love walking on the beach. We have dealt with Old Colony Realty the past three years. They are located very near the pier area. It is a small company but they have always gone out of their way to make sure things are right for us. Hope you are having a great time.

JoAnn, thanks so much for writing this trip review. Glad the condo worked out to your satisfaction, and that you and Katie enjoyed the beach. So nice that you could spend the time together without having appointments or schedules. Had to smile about Lazy Gator in Murrells Inlet. It's a HUGE store, and I seldom leave without a purchase of something I didn't really need. Thanks again for the trip report!
