A 1941 striking classic Beach Cottage loaded with style and character. I am the 3rd owner in summer 2017 having been previously owned by Myrtle who passed in 2006, inherited by her son Bob. To respect their memory it is now named "Myrtle's Place". Many people said to me you must knock it down and build a humongous new building explaining it will be a better investment rather than remodeling costs. I LOVE the character and story of Myrtle's Beach Cottage and was determined to keep the character. The design was continuously adapted throughout the rebuild effort which took over 12 months (finished May 2019) always considering the balance between modern amenities for guests and retaining the original classic beach bungalow character. So many of these older cottages have gone forever, but Myrtle's Place lives on....

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Cape Fear area area. To book the best rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Myrtle's Place - Gorgeous 1941 updated Beach Cottage with boat slip! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
