Disappointed

Check-in/Check-out after hours seemed sketchy. Obtained folder from a back alley through an unlocked door marked "Closet". Seems like an access code would have been more appropriate. Went to room. Front door apparently sticks. Nearly had to call someone for assistance before one big push finally opened the door. Room was great. Very clean and updated, just as depicted in the photos. Pool/Hot Tub/ Lazy River all closed. Thought it might be temporary, perhaps a day or two. We thought wrong as they were closed our entire stay. UNACCEPTABLE! Building Managers never even put up a "pool closed" sign for a week. We were required to purchase beach chairs and sit each day in the wind, which was unappealing at our age. We watched as renovations were made to the facilities and were disappointed that both decks needed to be closed simultaneously. We saw no reason why one side could not remain open while the other side was worked on. In frustration, we ended up checking out 5 days early and although we liked the room, will never book at Crescent Shores again.

We really enjoyed the condo, the weather was perfect to enjoy all the amenities outside. The condo was just big enough for our family that always goes down with us. We would definitely go back and stay there.

Beach trip 2023

Was very pleased with the amenities and location access for the hotel. Great place to relax and also there is a bar adjacent to hotel which makes food and drinks accessable without having to drive anywhere. Also a Mini Mart, shop, and ice cream place within walking distance. Perfect location!

About the host

Hosted by J & J Alford Inc. ; Chris Alford

We're from a small community in NC. I went to Wake Forest University on a partial baseball scholarship and my wife went to East Carolina University. As a young boy that was part of a rural farm family, my first baseball was a corn cob and my bat was a tobacco stick. I started in center-field for Campbell JC and Wake Forest with borrowed cleats and glove and was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1950. I was in the US Army at Fort Jackson, SC during the Korean War (while there, I played baseball against Willie Mays (post vs. post to entertain the troops) and I hit a fly ball that hit him in the head when the sun got in his eyes and I played some professional baseball in Nova Scotia, Canada and Edenton, NC. We are both retired public school teachers. I was a US history teacher, driver's education teacher, a baseball and basketball coach and a principal for most of my career. My wife taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade and taught 3rd most of her career. We both taught Sunday school at our local church for 30+ years. I was a Deacon, choir member and church moderator for around 63 years. I retired in 1985 and then sold real estate for 20 years. My wife retired in 1991; she took off 7 years while our children were young.

I've been a member of Lions Club International since 1967 and a charter member and 3 time president of our local club. I won the International Melvin Jones Fellow Award for Humanitarian Services in 1991. I also served on the local school board for 8 years after retiring. We support our local public school and attend many sporting events there.

Our son Chris has handled our rentals and much of the upkeep since we purchased the condo.

Why they chose this property

We've always loved the Crescent Shores location and we used to talk about that location when the old Rock'n K Motel was there. We first visited the Grand Strand in 1947 and honeymooned there in 1954. We sometimes rented from Vanna White's mom and dad when they had a real estate company next to where the Crescent Shores parking deck is now. We've visited and stayed in 100+ Grand Strand condos, houses and motels over the years and we still visit new ones today to see what they offer. We migrated mostly to North Myrtle Beach in the early 1970's.

When we chose Crescent Shores, we did it after an extensive search and we are happy with our choice. Our condo represents the sale of a family farm and a like-kind tax exchange; it does not represent public school teacher retirement!

What makes this property unique

We love the balcony view and sitting on it to watch nature and the lovely Atlantic. The sound of the ocean waves are quite tranquil. I'm a avid golfer and my wife enjoys riding the carts and looking at the courses. What better place to do it than the Golf Capital of the World? We've played them all so far and some many times; we're just waiting for the next one to open. It was a great place to visit as a young family in the 60's and it's a great place for granddad and grandmother visit today; especially when the grandchildren visit with us. Crescent Shores works very well for us and our condo has all the comforts and features of home and more. We personally take care of it to suit us and our renters.
