“Not exactly the best”

We stayed at southshore villa PH1 on fall break. We rented from a member of VRBO and this was my first mistake. We were only given one contact phone number. I made arrangements and paid 7 months prior to arrival. 1 month before arrival, we received the entry code. When we got there, the entry code didnt work. We attempted to reach the owner (long distance) on our cell phones 3 times before she finally answered. She had given us the wrong entry code with no apologies. It worked, but the keys inside were very tricky to work but we finally got in-- to find a very broken up and uncleaned room. We attempted to call the owner again due to the sheets and dirty towels laying in the kitchen floor and feces remaining in the commode. After 2 more long distance calls, she answered. Said she would send the cleaning crew. After another hour or two of waiting, the crew showed up- intoxicated. To make a long story short, we got into the room 5 hours after check in time and had to sign a service agreement because of the cleaning. It stated that the broken TV would be replaced the next day (but never happened). Also, we were told we would get a free midweek cleaning due to all the problems (but never happened). The owner will not answer calls from me and now it seems that her email has been suspended too. I have always used VRBO before with no problems, but now I recommend a management company. It would have been nice to have had someone I could of gone to when we were standing in the hall attempting to get into the room. The overall condo complex was nice enough, pools were clean and guests were courteous.

  • Liked — The quaint location with a great view
  • Disliked — The lack of available assistance (never found anyone to assist with checkin)

“Condo suited our needs; not very clean though”

The unit we had 1104 worked well for our family of 10. We had 4 bedrooms and 4 baths; plenty of room. The main issue of the whole vacation was the way the unit was upon arrival. NOT TOO CLEAN. My bathroom had fingernails all over the rug--so I know that room was not vacuumed. The carpet under the table in the dining room was full of junk too we had to vacuum that ourselves. So, the cleaning of the unit has alot to be desired. We rented from Grand Strand Resorts. My suggestion to them is to work on the maid staff they are not cleaning the whole unit!

Stayed August 2007

“Loved South Shore Villas”

We decided to try a different condo for this years beach vacation. We stayed the week of July 14th, Check in was not too bad compared to other places we have stayed in the area. The condo was very nice ( could have been cleaner at check in though). Both pools, lazy river, and jacuzzi were very clean. The beach was not crowded, but another condo was under construction next door. All together, this was one of our best beach trips to North Myrtle.

  • Liked — Cleanliness of Pools
  • Disliked — Room needed to be vaccumed at check in

“southshore villas”

This is my 4th year at Southshore Villas in N. Myrtle beach. We love this oceanfront property. Ample parking, large pool, nice lazy river and hot tub. The units are large, clean and well equipped. This year however, was less than expected. We had reserved 3 condos at this property. Together my family paid $7,000. to enjoy the small private complex. There is a beach house directly next door without a pool or hot tub. The beach house had a party of 18-20 who decided to invade our facilities and take over the hot tub, pool and lazy river. We had 2 children in our party who tried for 30 minutes to obtain a raft for the lazy river, only to be informed by our neighbors that they also had to wait. This continued for 2 days. We approached the lifeguard on duty and she informed us that the beach house guest were not entitled to use our facilities. We contacted The Noble Co., who manages the Southshore property and they sent a manager over. The police were called and the beach house guests were asked to leave. One of the beach house guest, (the leader, who I believe is associated with the rental company for the beach house) approached me and my daughter and made a scene at the pool using profanity and made threats to my daughter and I. The leader claims she owns the beach house and is entitled to use the facilities at Southshore. The management company and the police advised her not to come back or she would be cited for trespassing. The next day their was a different lifeguard on duty, and again the lady from the beach house came back to Southshore and created another scene. The rental rate for the beach house is less than half of what the guest pay for a unit at Southshore. The police and management from the Noble Co. arrived and the lady was given a trespassing citation and escorted from Southshore. There is open access to Southshore from the beach and also from the street. When planning a vacation and Southshore Villas is an option, please be aware that even though the complex is small and you think you will have ample pool, lazy river and hot tub access, think again. The lady from the beach house is somehow associated with the rental company that rents the beach house and has pulled this trick numerous times. Until security measures have improved be prepared for unwanted visitors.
