 ⚲ 6901 N Kings Hwy | Myrtle Beach SC 29572

⏱︎ Monday - Sunday, 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.; serving breakfast, lunch and dinner

Did you know the Myrtle Beach area has over 2,000 restaurants?  Now, I've heard that number could be higher, but with the opening of Uptown Bistro and Bakery - we know we're at least now at 2001!

The restaurant boasts the best happy hour and the bar area was indeed packed when we arrived for Sassy Supper Club, so much so they had to turn people away!  Thankfully, we were seated in the regular dining area and took our time ordering some calamari, parmesan truffle fries and Bang Bang Shrimp, all of...

If you’re looking for a fun and welcoming place to unplug, but really connect, The Space 843 in the heart of Myrtle Beach is the spot to be. This new local board game café, owned by Deborah Lopes, is more than just a place to play, it’s a celebration of community, faith, and acceptance.

Make it More than Changing Clocks!

While you’re adjusting the time, it’s also a perfect opportunity to tackle a few simple home maintenance tasks that often get overlooked.

Here’s your Spring Forward Checklist to keep your home safe, efficient, and running smoothly:
♦Battery Check — Because dead batteries don’t care about your schedule!
♦Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors – You've heard this one before, but it's a lifesaver that deserves fresh batteries.

Cantina Imperfecto - Looking Good and Tasting Great!

⚲ 950 Cipriana Dr | Unit B8 | Myrtle Beach, SC 29572 

⏱︎ Fri-Sat: 11:30am-11:00pm; Sun: 4:00pm-9:00pm; Mon: CLOSED; Tues-Wed: 11:30am-9:00pm

Just like a beautifully decorated home for sale seems to rise above its competition, this trendy restaurant got our attention! I mean, just LOOK at how they presented this dreamy drink:

Yep, that's my friend Lisa in awe!  And yes, that's a bottle tipped upside down in the glass!  Your eyes are drawn in as soon as you get out of the car.  The front has such a contemporary look, don't you think?

And you KNOW I'm a sucker for gorgeous light fixtures, so I had to show you this, too:

Yes, th...

Can I tell you just how much I LOVE my new listing at 126 Butkus Dr Unit 5 in Myrtle Beach?!?!?  Why??  Because it's a GREAT VALUE! 

My blog posts will include the "inside scoop" on my listings and this one I have to give a big round of applause to my client!!  He lives out of state and is the beneficiary of this condo.  While he had time to come up and clear out the personal items, the rest he leaned on me to advise.  The condo already had some solid upgrades - hardwood floors in the living area, plantation shutters and Samsung fridge, microwave and range.  With other condos for sale in the community, we needed to find a way to distinguish ourselves, but not spend too much to avoid the ...

Coconut.  Some LOVE that smell (like in suntan lotion) and others, well . . . no thank you!  Aromas are so subjective.  I personally cannot walk into a Yankee Candle store - that's aroma overload!  It gives me a headache!  So what's the best thing to do for your house or condo when it's on the market?

Let's start with the big stuff - removing odors.  If you've been in the home for years and there have been either pets or smokers for any decent length of time, you've probably got pretty big work to do before you list the home, including removing any carpet (always soaks up odors), throwing out old rugs, draperies or anything with cushions (or at the very least steam cleaning them).  Yes, ...

I am very pro-doggy!  We had dogs while I was growing up, but this one pictured here was the first pup I was responsible for.  This is Maverick the pug pictured here.  We were buds - we went everywhere!  

Now, that's the case even more so for people - taking dogs into retail stores, grocery stores and restaurants.  We know, when you're about to go anywhere, if your dog looks at you like this - 

it might be pretty hard to leave them at home!  So what's appropriate when you've got an appointment to look at a house or condo?

• Most importantly - communication is key.  If you live in the same local area as the properties you are visiting, a dog should only be accompanying you if it is a ...
