Oceanfront property....Little Troubles by the Sea

The handsome view from 1136 has not changed, but 1136 has seen a change from the ground up. We had to completely rebuild in 2024 after a fire happened in December 2023. Sitting on site 1136 is a brand new home and we are excited for you to see it. We now have 5 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. We continue to have comfortable seating in the room with all the windows to see out. We have part of the deck covered so if you choose you may sit in a shaded area instead of the sun. If it is raining you may still savor the fresh ocean air and not get wet. If you just need to come in and cool off a little, you do not have to leave the view behind. We still have many windows looking out at the gorgeous ocean.

One very important change to 1136 is an elevator. My mother was handicapped and if we had not had a way to get her into the home she would have been heart broken, so we made sure that if someone is in need of help getting up the steps we had an elevator installed to the main floor of the home. Just let us know and we will make it accessible for you.

The view from the main room is just as impressive as if you were on the deck. There is plenty of comfortable seating for you to appreciate. We have a enormous mounted TV on the wall over a cozy fireplace for those cool evenings in late fall, winter and early spring.

We again have a entirely equipped kitchen with plenty of cabinets, drawers and a pantry. You will also find a huge island with seating for four and dining room table that sits 6.

The downstairs, or first floor, bedroom has a king-sized bed and there is a door leading into the bathroom from the bedroom with an ensuite. This bathroom has a full-sized clothes washer and dryer. There is a half bath on the first floor for a dash from the beach or outside.

There is a sizable landing area at the top of the stairs with a full bathroom off of it. We have put a couch and flat screen TV here as a gaming area for those enthusiasts. Don't forget to bring your gaming systems and movies.

There are 4 bedrooms upstairs. A great addition we have in our new home is a bespoke-constructed bunkroom. It has 2 twin beds above with 2 queens floor level. We now have two bedrooms on second floor on the ocean front. One of these has a queen bed and the other a king bed. The ocean front wall of these 2 rooms has 3 huge windows so you have a 180 degree view of the ocean right in front of you. Go to bed at nighttime looking at the stars and watch the sun come up in the morning without getting out of bed. The fourth bedroom upstairs has a daybed bed. All bedrooms have T.V.s in them.

The ocean front deck is nice and large with comfortable swivel, rocker chairs. A table that sits six people . There is another seating area with 2 chairs and a modest table along with a couple of recliners for sunbathing.

Underneath the home we have a bespoke constructed bar and a TV. We are planning on some bar stools and other seating to enjoy. There is an area big enough for corn hole. Bring your boards or other yard games and play at the home instead of in the street as many do. We also have a gas grille there.

You will find when you come off of the beach, which has an entrance diagonally across from the home, you can step into an enclosed shower with both hot and cold water to rinse the sand off. An area accessed from the shower has a place to store your beach chairs and toys and we have supplied an umbrella for your use.

Ocean Lakes is a phenomenal modest community in itself. It is run by a family with a family ambiance. You can come into the community and find everything you need without having to leave the facility. It is a 24 hour gated and security patrolled community with nearly one mile of ocean front beach.. There are many amenities inside the gates such as an outdoor Olympic sized pool with lifeguards and an indoor heated pool, three kiddie pools and a WATERPARK which is complimentary admission to Ocean Lakes guests. The waterpark has a 705 foot lazy river for everybody to enjoy but especially for those that do not care for the thrilling matt racing slides or curving tubes.

You will also find 8 fresh water lakes, numerous kids's playgrounds, basketball courts. horseshoes, shuffleboard, putt putt, corn toss and an arcade with more than 80 games.

This home will sleep a max. of 9 adults in four bedrooms with a total of 3 twin beds for kids in a couple of the bedrooms. We do not provide linens or towels.

Because this is a family aligned community the rental of this home is intended for couples and families NOT a group of young singles. You must be 25 years of age to rent this home and must be staying there during the rental time. We do not rent for multiple weeks or extended time in winter.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Myrtle Beach rental home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Myrtle Beach. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Myrtle Beach vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Myrtle Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Myrtle Beach area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Myrtle Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront Beach House #1136... What a View! has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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 a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
