Myrtle Beach, Conway & Carolina Forest Real Estate

What is the first thing I do when I move into a new home? Search for a restaurant that delivers! Yes, I guess the cat is out of the bag.  I cannot cook! Well okay, maybe if the box comes with really good directions...

Living in the Carolina Forest area we are spoiled to have such a variety of great restaurants.  I have dined at all of the above restaurants, some deliver, some don't but all have dine in seating! Check out my website to view Myrtle Beach area restaurant reviews.

When I am out and about meeting people it's not uncommon to be asked, "well who would you recommend...".  The above businesses are all people I enjoy working with, I respect and I would recommend to any of my friends and family.

Realtors are in the information business, not just the home buying and selling business.  It's our job to make your move to a new area as easy and enjoyable as possible. Through working with a team of different professionals such as these above, I feel I can do that for you!

I went over to visit a good friend tonight, and she invited me in saying "her father was on the news, come see"... Just watching her father, a World War II Veteran speak on the television...I was moved.

Her father, Mr. Jack Platt of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is trying to organize a trip for World War II Veterans of The Grand Strand to visit the Memorial in Washington, D.C.  They will travel on a leased airplane (Myrtle Beach Direct Air) from Myrtle Beach, leaving in the morning, visit the Memorial, spend the day in Washington D.C and then return that night.

Anyone who was in service prior to August 10, 1945 and has never had the opportunity to see this beautiful tribute, are eligible at no cost to them.  Please contact Mr. Platt though, as they can only take so many.

Many cities around the country are doing this.  The Grand Strand should do no less. Anyone you has lost a special person in their life that served in World War II, and wish to honor their memory, can sponsor a veteran to see this memorial on their behalf.

Based on 150 people going, the trip will cost $233.00 per veteran.  If they do not raise the money, the cost of the flight will be too much and none will go.  So I ask you, people who enjoy the freedom of living in this great country, to hopefully consider donating the necessary funds to make this trip possible and sponsor a Veteran.   Here is a copy of The Sun News article also written about this journey.

Every day more World War II Veterans are dying.  Let's pull together and send them to visit this beautiful memorial, built in their honor, before they pass on! Surely this is a small thing to do for those who GAVE SO MUCH.

Contributions to cover the expenses should be made out to "South Strand Veterans" and mailed to:  Mr. Jack Platt, 303 Troon Lane, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588. Please feel free to contact him at 843-215-0346

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Little River, South Carolina is the perfect small town nestled within the Grand Strand.

Known for its great seafood restaurants, amazing fishing & boating, the annual Blue Crab Festival, and beautiful historic live oak trees, Little River has carefully kept it's slower pace of life untouched from the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach.

Common sights of the day include early morning fishing and shrimp boats going out for the day's catch, grabbing a bite to eat at one of the waterfront restaurants
while watching the jetskiiers play, sailboats traveling past beautiful homes on the waterway. Family's taking their boats the short trip to Bird Island to relax in the sand.

You can also golf at one of the Little River courses, shop at one of the many quaint shops around town, or taste the local flavor at La Belle Amie Vineyard. Just a short drive from the waterfront, La Belle Amie regularly hosts wine tastings, vineyard tours, and concerts with live local bands all year long.                

And for those looking to have a night out on town, Little River is just a short drive to all the fabulous attractions of the Grand Strand.  Although don't forget, docked in Little River, a few Las-Vegas-style casino gambling boats can give you the experience of  world-class casino gambling by trekking out to international waters where gambling is legal.

Last but definitely not least, held every May, on the weekend after Mother's Day is Little River's Blue Crab Festival.  Bringing thousands of visitors to enjoy the family-oriented events, it's nationally known as being one of the country's top events paying tribute to the famous blue crab. The event features some of the nation's top artisans and entertainers. A Little River institution, the Blue Crab Festival features delicious local seafood and of course, blue crab. Throughout the years, the festival has grown in size, and is now among South Carolina's most popular events.

There's a quality of life that residents cherish and visitors admire in this beautiful town of Little River.  I have experienced it, now come see it for your self!
