Thanks for your videos Jeremy! My husband and I enjoy them very much, and enjoy your humor equally. We will be contacting you soon!

[@jeremyblanton]

Awesome! Glad you enjoy them! I look forward to talking with you soon!

[@pamelamason1272]

By the way thank you for your videos and I am happy to say I am part of the golf cart culture and we are a little group on our own it’s so nice to be driving no matter who you say golf carts are always waving to each other smiling and saying hi have to have a golf cart if you’re here in Myrtle Beach

[@dairyadelphonse8809]

Can’t wait to contact you when I’m ready to buy my house over there. Nice video

[@jeremyblanton]

Thanks! Glad you have found the information valuable!

[@YouKnowWhereYouWentWrong]

#2 Ah, the dreaded Golf cart. The bane of my existence in Pawleys Island. Children as young as 11-12 driving them in traffic. Illegally crossing divided, 5-6 highways to go to the beach. Golf carts with entire families of literally 6-8 people hanging off every square inch. And the drivers usually have a can of beer in their hand, thinking that since it's an electric vehicle, it can't be THAT dangerous. Sure, most everyone has one. But just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. Golf carts belong on the golf course.

[@jeremyblanton]

I saw one the other day driving up 48th Ave in MB. It had 8 people on a rental cart from down in Myrtle Probably around 10th Ave would be my guess. Those carts aren't made to do 20-30 miles of driving, and most have a top speed of like 17MPH!

Jeremy, I'm from Washington D.C. and now live in Murrells Inlet what you say about the garages, golf carts and five finger waves is so, so true but you forgot to mention Chicken Bog. Mention that in one of your vids without without an explanation, you'll get a ton of responses.

[@jeremyblanton]

Very true! But I have actually spoken about it before in a video or two and explained what it was, so many of the viewers know already!

[@michaelbarron8421]

Love these videos Jeremy. My wife and I are going to retire here in a few years....7 ...but really whose counting... We vacation every year down in myrtle beach and have been in several neighborhoods. We are coming down late summer, would we be able to meet up with you? Keep up the videos we love them!

[@jeremyblanton]

Hey Michael! Sure thing! Shoot me an email at [e-mail] once you have your next vacation plans in place and we can definitely schedule some time to meet up!

I grew up with a condo here in Myrtle Beach and we would come every year during Easter break and I absolutely loved it we were at sounds over by shore Drive you had a Ocean Annie’s downstairs it was just a great time. Knew we were going to move here kept looking for property over 20 years wanted to live in a particular area Arcadia sure well finally found our dream home moved in 2015 from Jersey and I absolutely love it. I even love the tourists in the summer it makes everything so lively I love every part of the year maybe not so much December and January which sometimes can be cold but you’re never freezing living here was a dream come true when people say I’m happier at the beach the beach is my happy place I will say I agree I try to go to the beach every day

[@albertrapant2036]

Hi Jeremy. My family and I are moving to NMB in mid June from Long Island NY. Tired of the cold long winters and owning a SFR. We've been vacationing in MB for many years and it's been a dream of my wife and me to retire there so we pulled the trigger. We'll be living at the Barefoot Resort in an 11th flr unit in the North Tower that we're closing on in May. Can't wait to get there and start another chapter in our lives. Any advice on key things to know about in the resort and in NMB would be greatly appreciated. Love the videos. Keep'em coming.

[@jeremyblanton]

Congrats on finding your dream home!

Yes!! Avoid 544 and 501 especially in seasonon a Saturday AM. Go out the back of CF to International Drive and you are in tall cotton!

We used to go to church off of 544 and the lines from the campgrounds would back up for 4-5 miles!

Hello, very informative and helpful guide. I'm an avid cyclist, can you share what part of town is safest as far as traffic or areas that have protected bike lanes?

[@jeremyblanton]

I know they have put bike paths along Carolina Forest Blvd and also International Drive.

But is it safe to drive up 17? I have business at Player’s Choice, not far from Barefoot Landing and I’m concerned that I could be on the receiving end of a drive-by or a turf war at worst.

It's all going to depend on what area you build in as well the individual HOA.

Is it possible to live on the beach and not be surrounded by AirBNB rentals? We'd really like a condo because we don't want to have to worry about house and lawn care but we still want to be able to see and hear the ocean. I think we have to pay a gazillion dollars or live surrounded by transients. Any suggestions?

[@jeremyblanton]

There are a few oceanfront buildings that are not filled with rentals all around you. I just sold one to a client that bought a 2BR/2BA unit where they can see & hear the beach for right around $550K. There are a few other options, but most of the places where the you don't have a lot of rentals are going to be priced higher.
