For Moms: If golf is your thing, see Dads section, above. If not, Sunset Beach is the type of beach you see on post cards. It is uncrowded and a locals beach. Very few tourists know about how beautiful and secluded it is (most go to Myrtle Beach, a short drive away). Take a stroll, collect shells, take pictures, enjoy swimming. Did I mention that Myrtle Beach is nearby? You will find some of the best shopping from clothing to furniture. All the designer brands can be found at the outlet shops. And after a long day of shopping, (hey, you are on vacation, right?) may I recommend a seafood restaurant? Calabash is known as the crab capital of the world, so go, enjoy, over-indulge in the seafood fare and call me to thank me later! For Kids: Ok, I saved the best for last. Depending on your age group, the Calabash area has the before mentioned golf, beach, shopping and eating amenities, but did you know that Myrtle Beach is closeby?! (I may have mentioned that)
There is every water sport you can think of located there from snorkeling to jet skis. There is really fun miniature golf (do not laugh, it is addicting), Broadway on the Beach for walking, eating, and shopping. The Hard Rock restaurant (The brand new Hard Rock theme park is due May 2008!), Arcades, Imax Theaters, Clubs (big spring break area), the Grand Strand, Nascar Cafe, wineries, an Aquarium, and Dinner Theaters (Dolly Parton among others).There are far too many things for me to list here for you to do (plus I want you to find a few on your own, then tell me about them), so go and have fun. Return home thinking, 'I need a vacation from my vacation!' And we will see you again next year!
Our condominium is a family owned second home that we are opening up to our guests to enjoy. We are not in the business of renting properties. We want you to have a great time on your vacation so let us know what your needs are and if we can accommodate them, we will.
A special note: We have been blessed with wonderful guests in our condo. Sometimes, we’ve had more than one family interested in renting from us at the same time. In order to help our guests, we have called and spoken to other owners. Occasionally, we have found that what they advertise and what is actually there, are two different things. Low prices are 'nickel and dime-d” up, pictures are actually of model homes, and sometimes, the properties just are not as good as advertised. This is your vacation; take the time to quiz your condo owners or management company. Spend your money wisely and don't get fooled by cheap rates and fancy pictures. Our goal is to have you enjoy Calabash and the surrounding areas so you'll become a repeat guest. All the reputable owners do. So do your homework and enjoy your vacation. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call, we'll be happy to help, even if you don't stay with us. Keith, Dee, Mark and Chris (the Ortiz family)
