New luxury home w/private pool, game room, 1 block from beach in North Myrtle Beach

This house is exactly what the pictures show. Pretty decent neighborhood. 60 seconds to the beach.

I am appalled by the managers of Thomas Beach Vacations in Myrtle Beach South Carolina, and anyone considering a stay at Cole’s Gold should be prepared to deal with bed bugs! First, despite the clean linens on the beds, the company clearly doesn’t follow any protocol to check for bed bugs between guests. Second, the bed bugs attacked a guest when she arrived on Wednesday and took a nap after an hours-long drive, and again on Wednesday and Thursday night. We had no experience with bed bugs, and the bed linens appeared to be clean. We first thought that the guest might be allergic to something in the pillows or coverlet, so we washed them. But, the bumps spread from her hand and neck to her face, ears, back, and arms. They continued to swell, itch and cause pain. Third, when we brought the concern about possible bed bugs to the company’s attention, it took 3 hours for a pest specialist to arrive. He clearly knew where to look and confirmed to us that there were bed bugs in that bedroom. After another 2 ½ to 3 hours, we were the one’s to call the management company back. They did not call us! They offered to have us complete our stay in a vacation rental that was not comparable to Cole’s Gold but we rejected the inadequate substitute. Our vacation was ruined! Our guest had bumps, welts and eruptions on her face, neck, shoulder, arms, lower back, and legs. She was traumatized that, while she slept, bugs were crawling in her ear, on her face, and on her neck, biting her. She had to seek medical attention at urgent care. Despite the fact that she washed everything in her room, she also had to worry that, when she left early to go home, she could possibly be taking bed bugs back to her house! Moreover, our guest is a professional who had to see clients in person or on Zoom with unsightly bites and welts plainly visible on her face and neck. Although none of the rest of us were bitten, we also were horrified by the experience. To add insult to injury, Thomas Beach Vacation’s management did not respond adequately to this disruption in our vacation and our lives. We were only provided a partial refund. They did not offer any compensation to our guest who was the victim of the bed bug attacks. They did not offer any compensation for the groceries we had to leave, or for the guest who had to change her travel at an additional cost. We attempted to reach the manager, Ted, several times but he never returned our calls.

I want to start out by saying the office staff at Thomas is exceptional. Every single one of them. From start to finish. The home was gorgeous and beautifully decorated. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen and pool. The kitchen is stunning. The only thing I would change is the kitchen supplies. It’s not stocked very well for a kitchen of that size. I would have liked to seen more kitchenware, serving ware, grill tools etc. We would stay again for sure.

We had a great time in a really nice place. Very clean and well kept. Really nice to have our own pool. Was prefect for our large group. Location is really good and very short walk to the beach. Only con was the pool table was not working but they did come and fix it on our last day there. No big deal.

The property was very beautiful and spacious with easy access to the beach. The only problem we had was with a resident of the neighborhood across the street to the left if you are looking from the balcony call the police on us for simply being black. Complete racist. She said we had no business checking into her neighborhood late at night and needed to confirm we belonged there causing trauma to my 4 yr old for how disrespectful she was.

Everything was great. Nice to be able to walk a block to the beach.

From the day we booked to the day we left was a very smooth experience. When we had a problem we called and was taken care of immediately! Not sure the upstairs AC or furnace is working properly.

Loved the house. Great space for large groups. Loved the closeness to the beach, large dining/ living area as well as spacious bedrooms & plenty of bathrooms. Beautifully decorated. Nice to have private pool.

The house is brand new, clean, and very nice decorated. The only suggestion is it needs a shade by the pool and deffinitely bigger table/more chairs. We loved to stay and eat dinner by the pool at night time. I would recommend this place, it is right across from the beach.
