Rainy Getaway

We unfortunately visited during Debby so it rained every day. The location and residence were both accommodating to deal with all the rain. There were a lot of indoor activities to do within a short drive or even a short walk. We would definitely choose this location again. Kathi even called to check on us during the storms and to give us ideas on what we could do to pass time.

Best Vacation Ever!

My daughter and her little family joined me on this vacation. We stayed here at the Black Pearl and it was absolutely PERFECT for us! My son-in-law has never been outside of Ohio, so the look (and tears) on his face when he seen the condo and ocean were priceless! The unit was clean, tidy, and had a great balcony view of the ocean! Kathi was so easy to work with and answered all of my questions quickly. We hope to do this every year! Thank you Kathi for sharing your piece of heaven with us!

Great Location

Great condo in an excellent location. Owner is very responsive to issues. We really enjoyed our stay. If I had to find something negative to say, it would be that the master bedroom could use a new mattress. Other than that, this is a wonderful place to spend a vacation. Would definitely come back.

Can’t predict the weather

This unit was good, tasteful decor, master bed very comfortable, other bed noisy with any movement. Master bath very small, anyone bigger than size XL, might find it a tight squeeze. Some level of fitness required as third floor no elevator. Shopping, grocery, and restaurants all just a short drive away. Pool area clean and well maintained. A lovely vacation spot with direct access to the beach.

Excellent value, beachfront!

Overall we were very pleased with our stay at The Black Pearl. From the pictures, I didn’t think it would be as much of a walk to the beach as it was, but oh well. Lots of stairs, and this unit is located closer to the parking lot than the beach. Excellent views though, and we loved sitting out on the balcony watching the waves. Condo is well-equipped. Beach chairs and sand toys provided. After a quick grocery run, we had everything we needed! Dishwasher and ice maker were nice touches. Cookware provided. Keurig and regular coffee maker available. The handle on the coffee pot is hanging on by a thread though—could have been scary to drop a pot of hot coffee! Appreciated ceiling fans in every room. Linens and towels provided. Mattress in the main bedroom is terribly worn out and needs replaced. It was so saggy in the middle, that my husband put 2 pillows under the mattress for some support. I considered sleeping on the sofa. Laundry available just a short walk on the 3rd floor. Can pay by smartphone via app, so that was nice to not need quarters. This stretch of the beach seemed less busy and we loved that. It was great being able to just walk out and be there. Pool was great too—heated and lots of fun for the kids. From what I could tell though, no restroom…? Overall, it was perfect for our family spring break and we really enjoyed our time. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The Black Pearl was wonderful , right on the beach. The only downside was the 3 flights of steps. Although towards the end of the week the steps got easier. I would highly recommend.

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'!
