Love the location. Shore Drive area has so much to offer and the beaches our front of the unit are among the widest, flattest on the strand. Easy access via US 22 (Conway Bypass) and never have to get out on business 17. Many walkable restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Kathi McKnight

Host profile image
The 'Black Pearl' vacation condo is owned by the Auble and McKnight families. We grew up in South Carolina and Ohio and always summered on the Grand Strand. Our parents originally discovered that 'A Place at the Beach IV' is the best vacation spot on the Strand and bought this condo for use by family and guests.

Why they chose this property

A Place at the Beach IV is ideally situated on a secluded dead end street yet provides easy access to all the best the Myrtle Beach area has to offer. This condo faces the morning sun on the more quiet and relaxing side of the resort. The beach here is beautiful and it has Life Guards for safety during the summer season. There are lots of fun areas to discover nearby. A couple favorites are the quaint fresh shrimp and fruit stand a couple blocks away and a waterway inlet up the beach where kids catch crabs and other sea creatures.

What makes this property unique

• Great unobstructed view of ocean and pier

• Morning sun, afternoon shade on balcony

• Top Floor provides best view & most privacy

• The condo is constantly updated to make sure guests of all ages have all the amenities enjoyed at their own home ...plus a beach! After all, we vacation here too! We think you will love 'The Black Pearl'!
