Upon entering the unit, it was inviting, very clean and smelled great! The furnishings (sofa & chairs) were also clean, without wear. It's decorated well. Beds were comfortable. The welcome basket and sign was an added treat. The balcony and seating were perfect for morning coffee. We were also impressed on how clean the areas around the lobby and pool area were.

Perfect Condo & Location

Condo was everything we expected and more! The location is within a block of restaurants, groceries, ice cream and a park. The pier is an easy walk too. The kitchen was well appointed and the furnishings and beds were comfortable and clean. Parking was easy. The owners even had a basket of goodies waiting for us. The balcony was large and had an awesome view! We definitely will be back! Thanks!!

A wonderful stay again.

This was our second time staying in this particular unit and it was great again. Check-in is seamless, condo was clean, comfortable and updated. Can't beat the view and the proximity to everything. Al and his wife are very easy to get in touch with if there is a question or an issue. An excellent week!

Great place, best location

Al is a great person to deal with. That's first. Second, Springs is the best because it's small, not many units. Not crowded and chaotic like some of the big places. Convenient, etc. This unit is very nice. We have come 2 years in a row and plan to continue.

Excellent family stay!

Excellent VRBO listing! Everything was just as it was in the listing! The owners gave plenty of good information including places to go and eat! The staff took great pride in the place and kept the overall resort very clean!. Location was great for beach and pool! Close to grocery and restaurants. The units and building is definitely older but most have been renovated. Only 1 elevator worked during the stay and only 2 parking spots to load other than that nothing to complain about. Even with a lot of traffic it wasn’t bad at all. We definitely would love to come back!

Vacation Stay

Nice Beachfront condo. This place is in a nice location, convenient to a lot of things. Restaurants next door, grocery stores nearby, and the parasailing and banana boat rides were right on the beach. The weather wasn't the best when we arrived, but the room was clean and nice so we didn't mind having to stay in. The owners checked in on us on arrival day and were quick to answer questions and help when a problem arose. There is a pool and 2 jacuzzies, as well as a sauna and small workout room with treadmill and workout machines. I would definitely recommend renting from the Gardiners!

Last week of summer

Overall, we enjoyed our stay on the 9th floor of a well-situated building, just a couple of blocks from the local grocery/ anything you could want store. Great ocean views up and down the Grand Strand. Had some trouble with the TV. Directions for using it could have been clearer, and host did not always respond quickly when we had issues. Our door code quit working 2 hours before we had to be out of the unit, while we were still loading cars. She took a long time to respond, by which point we had already figured out a work-around. Overall, the condo is nice, well appointed, especially the kitchen. Needs some touch-up paint in a few places, which I hope they might do in the off-season. Beds were fine, as were bathrooms. The one problem was the music from the bar two doors down. There were times when we could hear it in the condo, even with the windows closed. Beach access was wonderful. Didn't use the pools. Overall, I'd recommend this place and I'd go there again.

We loved the place and the location to everything in cherry grove! The place as well as the entire complex was clean. The only thing that we felt was fair was the master bedroom mattress. We woke up daily with back pain and had to sleep have the week in another bedroom and on the couch.

This is a wonderful location and condo. The home is well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay which was appreciated. The reason for the four stars instead of five is that the condo is in need of a deep clean. Dining room chairs, baseboards, table on the balcony, second bathroom soap holder that is hanging from shower head, used sponge left in the kitchen sink. If this were my home it would be fine, but it isn't my dirt; it's someone else's.Even with that being said above, we would not hesitate to return to this unit.

Fabulous Stay!

Our first trip to North Myrtle Beach was amazing thanks to this perfectly located condo. We loved the balcony overlooking the beach and ocean. There was quick and easy access to the beach, even with a one year old and all his beach accessories. It was great to be able to walk to a grocery store, restaurants, and beach shops. And the drives to attractions and other shopping/dining was easy.The condo itself was lovely, clean, and well-equipped. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, but there were plenty of supplies to do so. We were on one of the top floors, but had little or no waits for the elevators. The beds were comfortable- even the pull out couch which our teenager used. We would highly recommend Cherry Grove Beach and this condo. Thank you to the owners for all you did to make it a great stay!
