Our family enjoyed an excellent vacation week in December 2009, celebrating a very special Christmas together in Myrtle Beach! This lovely place is bright, with lots of windows and ocean views. The heat works very well when it's cold outside. The beach is just a short walk away and during the winter, it's quite deserted, with lots of shells! The views are nice - especially those Atlantic Ocean sunrises. Very much worth the early rising! The owners have provided considerable attention to upkeep and updating the property. It's clear that they take pride in their beach house. The kitchen boasts high-quality, updated appliances; the furnishings are clean and well-maintained. A couple of small suggestions: The 52" TV is great, but there's no DVD player; that would be nice. (Each bedroom and the loft area do have TVs/DVD, however)... Also would be an enhancement to have a sort of central stereo/music system set up. But this is minor - most of your time will be spent outside, anyway - especially during warm weather! So who needs invasive media?? Also, the flush toilets could stand upgrading - but they do work OK! Please don't be deterred by the security deposit requirement - to us, it showed that the owners take pride in their home and care greatly for its well-being. The deposit is a good way to remind selfish people who disregard others' property that there's a cost to be counted. It's also nice to know that this isn't a "party place" for the rowdy, drinking crowd. It's a FAMILY-oriented property. This really makes a difference. After we checked out, we received our refund promptly (because we took good care of the place - which was very easy to do!). Lastly, we've rented several properties through VRBO, and this owner, by far, has been the most responsive and helpful. They answered each/every question/concern that we had, and provided lots of advance information about the property after we booked with them. There's nothing not to love about Windermere! We would definitely return to this lovely place. |

Homeowner Response:
So glad you enjoyed our home! And we appreciate the suggestions-we plan to add a DVD player to the 52" this winter. Will also consider your music suggestion-like that idea! Bathroom upgrades are planned for 2011. We like to be onsite for every project and this winter we have a long list for our main home in central New York! (Built in the mid 1800's it too requires constant attention!) It is such a pleasure for us to open our home to great families who want to make special beach memories. Bill and Joyce we wish you and your family a healthy and happy 2010! Thank you for choosing Windermere for your vacation! We look forward to having you back!

Thank you for allowing us the use of your condo while at Myrtle Beach for our daughters wedding. Your condo was absolutely fabulous and exceeded our expectations. It was so spacious which was great for having room for wedding dress, veil and all the other wedding necessities. Kingston is a beautiful beautiful place. We hope that we are able to visit again in the future. God has greatly blessed you and we are thankful that you have allowed us to share in that blessing. The Crawfords |

This was one of our best vacations. It was very relaxing. We had no reason to venture out to do anything but stay at the resort. The house is beautiful. There was nothing that we needed. The setup of the house was perfect for two families of four. We all had our own space and privacy. The decks were a great place to sit and have your breakfast while you read a book. Can't say enough about how sad we were to leave!!!

| Awesome vacation property! Great location in Kingston Plantation, 5 minute walk to the beach. We have been staying at Kingston Plantation for years and by far this was the best rental. The unit is very well maintained and the decor added to the beach atmosphere. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Myrtle Beach area. Owners were very responsive to initial inquiry and provided excellent details of the rental, truely a pleasure to deal with. Can't wait until next year! |

| Our family enjoyed our days at your home. We were sorry the trip was so short! Villa size and layout was a great fit for our crowd; the loft was wonderful for the children. Close access to the beach and pool was a joy and the keyless entry so convenient. If the opportunity presents itself, we will be back. |

Our family can highly recommend this lovely home for a vacation. The location (2 short minutes to the beach), and setting(mowed lawns & landscaping) were a wonderful compliment to this spacious lovely home. We loved the screened in porch for cards & cocktails & the loft area was great for table games & computers. The 2nd floor deck has great views. The proximity of the pool & low rental tennis courts are a real plus.
We wish we had the new kitchen with granite counters & wonderful appliances in our own home. It is truly stocked with utensils & equipment, in fact the best equipped of all the homes/units we have rented.
Our family took advantage of the many miniature golf courses along Business route 17 as well as Brookgreen Gardens with a rich history as well as fabulous sculptures and flowers.
This home was a 10 for our family. |

August 3, 2008 It's hard to believe that two weeks have gone by so quickly- summer vacations here at the Kingston have numbered over 20 years now! Our family has grown with this place. By far our best stays have been at the Windermere condos. Your home is spacious, cheerfully apointed with all the amenities of home. I have yet to send any of the children to their rooms-they gravitate towards them! Another year, more good memories and a yearning for next summer's vacation already.

June 2008 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! We couldn't have had a more exciting trip to Myrtle Beach. Beachcombing, swimming and watching the manta ray's play just feet from us was amazing! We can't wait to ome back again next year!

Dear Tallman Family, My husband and I and daughter, son-in-law and 4 grandchildren (16 yr- 5yr) were delighted to stay in your beautiful beach house. Your house is certainly a "home" -we all loved your decor. I have been coming to Apache Campground and staying with my friend's parents in their home every summer for about 18 years. Our 14 year old grandson played in a baseball tournament at Cal Ripkin's "fields of dreams" a beautiful complex. Our little ones loved the "bucket". All enjoyed the beach-weather was wonderful. Hope to be back again God Bless. The Brussalis's and The Naccarato's

Dear Tallman family, This is the 2nd year in a row that my family has stayed in your lovely beach home. We had a fabulous week and the weather was gorgeous. We enjoyed Magiquest, putt-putt, Broadway, Barefoot, and many tasty restaurants. We look forward to coming again next year and enjoying your beautifully decorated townhouse. The week zoomed by but many wonderful memories were made. I am already planning what we will do next year. Thanks again, The "Goodwin" Clan from Frederick, Maryland.
