I spent several days in the upstairs of the beach house known as Flip Flop. I enjoyed the light coming through the windows, the enclosed porch with screened windows, and just being in a beach house instead of a hotel room (where you can't even open the windows). The beach/ocean and boardwalk with all kinds of shops and entertainment were a 2-block walk.

We were in a cottage. 2 bed one bath upstairs. Quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to the beach and some restaurants. The owners are super nice. My only complaint is the shower drained very slow. The kitchen was well equipped. The property was once an older home modified into 2 units

Small cottage style apartments right in the heart of Myrtle Beach. I am not a big fan of high rise beaches like Myrtle but this property was really quaint and well maintained. Comfy beds. Perfect for being able to separate sleepers into their own rooms while still equally priced to a standard hotel room. 1 block off of the beach.

In all the property is good. It was bike week, and of course there was noise, but I usually take earplugs wherever I travel. The internet was not good. Especially on the rainy days when it was necessary to be indoors. Overall nice place. People were very professional and courteous, and personable. I took my airfryer and electric skillet. Close walk to the beach. I would recommend it. Going back again, but not during vike week. Thank you!!!

We are a family of 5 plus another couple who stayed for the CCMF. The Darlington was within walking distance to the festival, across the street from the beach, the owners were amazing, and the cottage was perfect. The owners called to tell us the cleaning crew found our friend's cell phone that they didn't know they left and connected them to another guest from Charleston to deliver it. Honest staff and the owners went above and beyond. While we don't love Myrtle, we will definitely stay here again when we do visit.

Old property Well maintained. A black metal temporary gate on a white picket fence was unacceptable
Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022
Response from Sheila and Jeff on 10 May,2022
Larry, thanks for the review. That fence does not have a gate. The guest staying long term uses the black metal fencing to block the opening as she has a small dog she will have outside from time to time. We would normally not have anything in place of the opening.

This is my favorite place to stay when visiting Myrtle Beach. We stayed in a cottage this time and it was so great! The house was really nice! Cute and perfect for the 4 of us. My grandson liked the swing and cornhole. The front porch was perfect for reading and visiting. Parking is excellent. Location is so great. Just a very short walk to the boardwalk. You can see the ocean from the cottage. Staff is the best part! Helpful and friendly family that owns this property.

Casual beach stay
Small gem right near beach. Nice to see places that still allow pets. Parking easy and owners very nice! Good communication. Not fancy but great little beach getaway place. We were in the cottage with top deck an loved the porch swing/hand. Needed a few more kitchen convinces like dish rack, few cleaning spray supplies would be nice to have. Run down motel next to property but still felt safe. Will be back.

The property owners/staff were friendly. Helpful. Great. The little outdoor area with a swing and games and tiki hut were nice. Cleanliness was just ok. Beds were clean. Floors not. Bathroom had mold. Shower was in horrible shape and leaked into unit below us. It was ok. Like better than sleeping in a car. But won’t stay again.

Stay was amazing but staff was horrible thru are rude and judgmental i have dogs service dogs and they acted like they were an issue when they allow dogs charged a $50 deposit that they made up and said it was refundable but did not get it back
Stayed 2 nights in May 2021
Response from Terry on 25 May,2021
My staff are the best on the beach. The 50.00 deposit was a security deposit, not a charge for your service dogs. Had your cottage been acceptable for your refund i would have gladly returned it. However, your decision to allow your dogs on the beds and couches, where they ruined the bed covers, leave the place in total disarray , and smoke in the cottage was is why you did not receive your security deposit back .
