About this property
CLOSE TO THE BEACH, BEAUTIFUL ESTATE, SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
This home is part of a 7-acre secluded estate, just 15 minutes from Myrtle Beach. My husband and I live in the other house separated from yours by a courtyard and interior hallway. The sweeping oaks, covered in flowing grey moss, that line the driveway and surround the deck overlooking the Waccamaw River. The large two-story home colored in dark green mixes in with the riverside environment, all of this giving a combination of quiet and peacefulness as it overlooks this historic, scenic river. There are families of deer that make their home here so drive carefully in and out of our driveway. There are plenty of turkeys too that bed in the woods next door. Plenty of privacy and quiet - yet just minutes from the Grand Strand-Myrtle Beach and other beachfront communities. Sorry, but we absolutely cannot accommodate more than 8 guests! OUR NEWLY DESIGNED POOL PATIO OVERLOOKING THE RIVER IS A GREAT SCENE FOR A WEDDING! This home features a roomy two-car garage with a washer/dryer combo to help keep up with everyday laundry. Most folks enter through the garage for an easy unload into a hallway with several supply closets, some filled with towels and linens. Into the dining room and kitchen that features a major remodel for all of our 2021 guests. The appliances are stainless steel and there are hardwood floors. From there you get an impressive view of the pool, deck, tables, and chairs with pool floats gathered for your convenience. The rest of the quiet home is covered in plush, white carpet. Into a spacious living room with a marble fireplace and leather couches and chairs, positioned to watch the large-screen tv. There are also two electric recliners. A charming half bath is near the front door. The living room and kitchen opens into the Carolina Room, featuring a double daybed, a bar, a couch, and a sofa table with lots of board games inside. As you pass through the living room into a hallway with shelves of books and trinkets that opens into a large master bedroom. Beyond there you see a private room of cypress with your personal hot tub and the room has its own heat/air unit. Best to keep the temperature in the room fairly warm so you are not cold when you get out of the hot tub. This room has an exit to the pool and deck. As you look to the left from the master bedroom, there's a large walk-in closet; to the right of that you see an oversized master bathroom that has also just been remodeled. There's a large shower with a bench and a tub that acts as a jacuzzi as well. Near the front entrance, you will see the steps to the second floor. The bedroom on the left has a great view of the pool, deck, and the Waccamaw River. There's a tv there as well. The view of the river is even better from the screened porch directly off of this bedroom. Across the hall is another large bathroom with a tub/shower combination and a much larger walk-in closet. Just down the hall is another bedroom with its own tv that opens onto the same screened-in porch. River Bluff Estate is excited to announce our stepped-up process for sanitizing our property. We use a commercial fogger and Hydrolyte Excelyte Sars Cov 2, which is an EPA-approved disinfectant. (EPA Registration No. for Sars-Cov-2 Human Coronavirus Disinfectant 92108-1) You can relish the best of both worlds here. Enjoy the plush home nestled in a natural, serene setting, and have fun at the beach with shopping, dining, and local attractions just a short car ride away! Sorry, no pets allowed.

Excellent guests. They have been here before and we were so happy to have them back. All was good. They took good care of the property. They seemed to enjoy the private use of the pool and deck
Great accommodations. First VRBO we’ve stayed at where all amenities were there! Beautiful pool. A little drive to the beach made it a little harder with kids and changing but very relaxing vacation!

Ruth and her family were just great. I enjoyed them being here. They are the best. I hope to see them again. They left the property so clean and nice. Loved the kids having so much fun. In the pool and fishing
Great advice and help from the property owner to help us navigate the area. Property is beautiful and ideally located to get to so many great places in the Myrtle Beach area. We loved watching the wildlife and the tranquility of the garden. We loved the pool and the ability to relax outside.

Very nice guests. . .was happy to have them. They were just great. Friendly and helpful. They seemed to really enjoy the pool, deck and grills too. The pool was a big hit. A fun family. Hope they will come back again
This home was just as pictured/described plus some. The house is spacious and plenty of room for everyone on our trip (8). My family and I had so much fun and enjoyment from this vacation. Karole is absolutely the best. Very informative and helpful in pointing us in the right directions for entertainment, the beaches, and dining. The children loved the pool and I loved fishing myself. I definitely look forward to coming back to visit again.

I enjoyed this whole family so much. They had a lot of fun, fishing, swimming, everything. Just what this property is for. They took care of everything. A very self sufficient family, just a joy and pleasure to have here. Treated everything well, left it in great shape. I truly look forward to their return. Karole
This property is amazing in all regards. Karole is a great host and very intentive to any and all questions or needs. We will be returning here on our next visit to South Carolina.

Wow, John. Thanks for the great review. I sure look forward to ya'll returning, as well. Glad you had a good time! I just love families like yours. ...Karole
Amazing property. Very large rooms with plenty of closets and drawers, very clean, private and quiet, but close to stores and not far from any point in Myrtle Beach. The pool is excellent, and you could spend your entire vacation there. Karole is very nice, kept us well informed and made sure we had what we needed. Highest recommendation for this property.

Wow! From the time we arrived up to the time we left. Wow! Very beautiful, quiet and relaxing. Really wish we could have stayed longer. Karole is a sweetheart. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful stay !
We go to Conway every year to visit family and have always struggled to find a place that would serve as an entertaining place to have a vacation while being still convenient for commuting to family and also have amenities to work.
This house is absolutely wonderful and the hosts are so friendly and supportive. The pool is gorgeous and we most afternoons rowing on the river and fishing.
The location is really convenient to the beach but without all the traffic and you don't have to live right next to other vacationers.
We are definitely returning and will not want to stay anywhere else

We enjoyed our stay here very much! Karole was a wonderful host and always made sure we had everything we needed. The pool was awesome and was a nice place to come back to unwind after a long hot day in Myrtle Beach. Even though Karole was right next door, we barely noticed. Very private and peaceful. It was the perfect distance away from Myrtle beach, only 20 minutes away. We would definitely come back! Thank you for your hospitality Karole!

Very accomodating!
We had a great time. While the home is dated (I know they are working on updates), the owner has gone out of her way to make it comfortable. The pool is beautiful. The home is very livable. They have more towels and wash cloths (in good condition) than any rental home I have stayed in. The home is very well appointed.
The large garage was an extra bonus. If we return to the area, we will certainly stay here.
The owner was fantastic to work with.

Great. Thanks so much for the review and comments. So happy ya'll had a good time. And appreciate the dated comment. I continue to upgrade, as I go. I ordered a new, french door, stainless steel fridge, being delivered next week (that will eliminate that freezer too. And, yard/pool/dock etc remains a work in progress. I hope ya'll can come back sometime. Karole
My siblings and I stayed here for a week, and I can’t say enough great things about this property! The heated pool is to die for, and we swam in it almost constantly. Fishing in the little boat down the river was one of the most quiet and peaceful things I’ve ever experienced. The home has top notch appliances and everything you need for cooking at home, and the master bathroom is beyond luxurious. This home is so perfect and beautiful that it is more than worth the 15-20 mins drive to the fun activities in Myrtle Beach. Will definitely be returning here in the future!!

Wow, Brooke and Family. Thank you so much for that incredible review. I am so glad ya'll enjoyed it and the time here was special. I just don't know what to say, but how much it means to me that things were great for ya'll here and it was everything for all of you. I am just amazed and appreciative of your review. I hope ya'll will return. Ya'll work hard and it was good that this break was good for all of you. Karole
The property is a bit dated and we weren't able to enjoy all of the features (we went in December so too cold for the outdoor pool); but its was a great, secluded getaway for our family. There is ample space for the family to spread out - both indoors and outdoors. The screened-in second floor deck was perfect for a rainy day, and our kids loved taking the row boat into the inlet. The kids play structure and flat driveway for little kids to scooter were nice surprises. Karole and Marsha were also very responsive to any questions or issues that arose.
let me start off by saying that it was everthing we expected and more. karol was a awsome host met with us went thru all the details of the house gave us a list of stores to shop at and resturants to eat at. this was by far the best vaction me and my wife have taken. we will return in the fruture and to be honest we cant wait to go back . and i want to end this by saying thanks to are host she was great

Wow. Alfred. Thanks for such a gracious review I truly enjoyed y’all and hope you will come back! It’s meeting guests like y’all that makes this so rewarding and special. I’d love to have y’all anytime. I feel I have been lucky enough to have new friends. Thank you. Karole
Our stay here was perfect. Everything was exactly as described. The house is beautiful. For us, the private pool was a deciding factor and it did not disappoint. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool as well as the outdoor patio. We didn't use the small boat, but the landing area for the boat is so peaceful it was nice to just sit there and enjoy it. We'd love to take that Master Bedroom/bathroom home! Karole is a great host - she kept in touch and followed up with us throughout the stay. We have visited Little River/Myrtle Beach area for more than 30 years - we rate River Bluff as the best place we have stayed so far. Hope to return again soon.

Oh. Wow. Jeannie (and guests). Thank you so very much for your gracious review. It is so much appreciated. I hope y’all will return. You’re very kind. Karole
The home is beautiful, and it is like being in your own home only much more spacious and luxurious. Karole was a wonderful host, checked us in and showed us around and then we only saw or talked to her if there was a question. Unlike most rental properties we've stayed in before where we had to provide toilet paper, garbage bags, soap, etc., all of that was provided for our stay and not small hotel soap bars. Definitely wishing we'd come a day earlier or stayed a day longer now, but do hope to return in the future.

This was a super family. I really enjoyed having them. They seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the pool and dock on the river. I do my best to see that everything is provided and glad they saw that. I hope they will come back. Karole
We loved our trip to Myrtle Beach and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful River bluff estate. The house was beautiful, clean, and fully stocked (kitchen, linens, bath towels and even pool towels, which really saves on packing!). There was plenty of room for our family's trip, which included grandparents, parents and two girls. And, plenty to do! We all loved the pool & hot tub, and watching movies on the smart TV after days at the beach. And, although we didn't fish, we enjoyed walking down to look at the river. It's a great location - tranquil and secluded, but close to everything Myrtle Beach has to offer! I cannot say enough about Karole and her team. They were wonderful. There was a slight refrigerator issue while we were there, but they were so quick to take care of absolutely everything. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend and would love to return!

About the host
Hosted by Karole Jensen, Owner
I founded a non-profit organization in the 1970's to help abused/neglected and missing children. In 1993 I added Angel Flight - air transportation for sick and terminally ill children. I have been a pilot with my own aircraft since the early 1980's. I own and manage rental properties. I love to travel. My husband is a trial lawyer. Our offices are in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Why they chose this property
This is a magnificent property. It is a large duplex - approximately 4,000 sq ft on each side. It is just the two of us and our granddaughter that live in one side. The West Wing has been donated for the use of families of missing children (while they were here searching for their own children/grandchildren). We have had family in and some parties here. However, we have not really used this beautiful home and shared it like it should be shared. We love for families to come here and enjoy all that it has to offer. It is a spectacular property and we are proud to live here.
What makes this property unique
Only 5+ miles from Myrtle Beach, the home is on a seven-acre estate located directly on the unique, black, Waccamaw River. It is very upscale with custom decor. The carpet is very white and very plush, and there are rugs placed throughout. There is a beautiful marble fireplace, a jacuzzi, and an entire room for the hot tub which overlooks the Waccamaw River. There is no danger of flood here since we are 70' above the River. The view is very much like being in the mountains. The estate is one of the highest sections in this County that's on the Waccamaw River. There is a saltwater pool and a dock. The estate is very quiet and peaceful.
