Feeling Outdoorsy?

There are countless different places you can explore in and surrounding Myrtle Beach, which allows you to try something new every day. Take some time out of your day to visit the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, this is a ½ mile boardwalk that features things such as live music, fine dining, and fishing. This boardwalk transports you into a romance Novel with its picturesque views of the water. If you time it right you can even catch a breathtaking sunset. Nearby, you can find Atalaya Castle, an architect’s dream! Spend some time snapping photos and exploring the castle and grounds! Next on the list is exploring the 115 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens at Vereen Memorial Historical Gardens. Not only does the Garden boast botanical gardens of all origins, but it has an abundance of hiking trails and even a boardwalk where you can take in views of the water. With so much space to explore, it is a must-see for those of you who want a less crowded adventure filled with scenery.

Sense of Adventure!

If you have adventure coursing through your blood, then this one’s for you. Take a trip to Inlet Point Plantation, you won’t regret adding this trip to your list of “must do’s.” At the plantation, you are able to mount up onto one of the plantation’s horses and ride them along the beach while the waves crash at your feet. If that doesn’t scream “adventure of a lifetime,” I don’t know what will!

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
