Luxurious Vacation Rentals in Pawleys Island

Some of the most luxurious vacation rentals in Pawleys Island we’ve ever come across were at DeBordieu Colony in Pawleys Island. It’s there that we discovered Sea Spray where we stayed on our last vacation to the area. It was a beautiful and luxurious oceanfront home that I wanted to tell you about here.

When we stayed in this vacation home we were close enough to the ocean to hear the waves crashing to shore and smell the aroma of the salt water in the air. Now that’s truly aromatherapy! This oceanfront home is in a very private, gated community and has 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms and is located along the sea wall with spacious kitchen and dining area. The living room has a wet bar with icemakers. There are 4 TVs, VCR, 3 DVDs, stereo, wireless internet, screened porches, deck, crib, outside shower, fish sink, beach chairs and a gas grill for cooking out. This home has a Sports Membership which provided us with access to the 2 pools at the Beach Club, dining, tennis and golf, too!

The amenities we were able to enjoy at DeBordieu Club included golf, tennis, and multiple dining options. There were miles of beach and tidal creeks, an on-site nature preserve with walking trails and bike paths, and a delightful year round climate. 

If you’d like to look at the vacation rentals in Pawleys Island to find something like where we stayed, DeBordieu Rentals has available call them at 843-527-9894 or toll-free at 800-797-3633.

How to Find the Best Murrells Inlet Eateries

When you’re on vacation to a new area it’s sometimes difficult to find where the best restaurants are located. It’s become somewhat easier now with mobile devices but if you don’t have a phone or other access to the internet you’re pretty much relying on whomever you can corner to ask.

We discovered a website that lists many popular Murrells Inlet restaurants in one place on elowcountry.com. You can get all the information you need there and now just for Murrells Inlet either. If you’re going out of the immediate area then check the list first for restaurants in your destination area so you’re not just aimlessly driving around.

The list of Murrells Inlet restaurants provided on the site will give you more details than just name and location. You’ll even have access to the restaurant website on occasion and be able to peruse the menu online and read revues from other guests. How convenient is that!

We love this site but we’re really looking forward to the elowcountry app when it comes out because then it will be even simpler. Just one click and we’d instantly be there. All this fumbling around through browsers and finding reception is just annoying at best. I've gotten so spoiled. Sometimes we forget about the inconvenience of the past and overlook how lucky we are to have access to this information at all!

Playing Exceptional Golf on Valentine's Day

Whether you’re here over Valentine’s Day for your Myrtle Beach golf vacation or you’re here celebrating Valentine’s Day and decide to play some golf, there’s nothing that says you can’t turn the holiday into a four day Myrtle Beach golf vacation weekend. Plenty of romance has been found on the golf courses of Myrtle Beach we can assure you.

While you probably won’t find rose petals sprinkled around the fairways or greens, it doesn’t diminish the importance of the holiday. Whatever a couple enjoys doing together is an acceptable way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Some people like to dine in a four star restaurant having an enjoyable candlelit dinner and there are plenty of those types of restaurants in the area. Others prefer a romantic picnic beachfront dinner on a blanket spread out in the sand. Then there are those who prefer to dine in their vacation rental and either cook together or have their dinner catered and delivered. Any way you dine, you’ll have an exceptional holiday when you spend it in coastal South Carolina. 


Enjoy the nightlife the area has to offer. You won’t find it quite like this anywhere else. If you enjoy concerts, you’ll find them here. There are live theatre performances to choose from and nightclubs galore! If you’d rather leisurely stroll the boardwalk or the outdoor malls, hand in hand, you won’t be alone. That’s something people love to do all year long!




Having an Exceptional Valentine's Day

If you want to celebrate Valentine’s Day in an exceptional way this year, it’s not too late to make that happen. At Myrtle Beach Vacation Rentals they're excellent at helping people that are overcome by a last minute desire to go to the beach. Spending Valentine’s Day in one of their Myrtle Beach house rentals would make for what just might be your best Valentine's Day ever.

They provide three different levels of rents to choose from – Premium Properties, Value Properties and Economy Properties. You can select Myrtle Beach house rentals that fit your needs as well as your buget.

Premium Properties are at the top level and are for guests that want all of the luxuries of home at the beach waiting for them. Upgrades are important and normally include but are not limited to:
1. New appliances
2. Updated kitchen and bath fixtures
3. Updated kitchen cabinetry
4. Non-carpeted floors
5. Flat screen televisions in living room and bedrooms
6. Updated comfortable bedding
7. Updated comfortable furniture
8. Fresh paint
9. New patio furniture
10. Wireless Internet Access
11. Media play (DVD, stereo, etc.)

The Value Properties are for guests who appreciate a few upgrades, but do not need all of the bells and whistles that the premium properties have. Upgrades are nice, but it’s okay that a few are missing. These properties rent for around 10% less than premium properties. The typical upgrades include but are not limited to:
1. Modern appliances
2. Non worn carpet / floors
3. Flat screen televisions in living room and bedrooms
4. Updated comfortable bedding
5. Updated comfortable furniture
6. Updated comfortable patio furniture
7. Fresh Paint

There is a nice assortment of Economy Properties that are for guests who are here because of the beach. Keeping the property clean is very important, but upgrades are not as important to them as warm sunny days on the beachfront. These properties rent for around 10% less than value properties.
