Easter weekend is like our kickoff to the season. The beach is packed, the flowers are in bloom and everything is green and beautiful! We look forward to the beginning of all the tourists that come to the beach for their annual vacations. If you are visiting during Easter weekend and are looking for a church to visit on Sunday we have a variety to choose from. First Presbyterian Church , Christ United Methodist and Ocean View Baptist are a few of my favorites. First Presbyterian and Ocean View Baptist are more traditional services and attire. Christ United Methodist is a casual atmosphere with a contemporary service. There are also a few Sunrise services in Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet. All are great and would love to have you visit. A tradition in my family has always been church then a big lunch. If cooking is not on your list of things you want to do on vacation don’t worry we have lots of places to choose from. Easter fills up fast so I recommend making reservations somewhere in advance. A few of my favorites are The Sea Captains House, Carolina Roadhouse, Croissants, Magnolias and Chestnut Hill.

What are Home Owner Associations ?
If you are looking at properties and wonder what these HOA fees are and what they cover you are not alone. Home Owner Association fees are very prevalent here at the beach. If you are looking for a second home or an investment property HOA’s can be a great thing. Also if you are someone who doesn’t like yard work or fixing things. Each Home Owner Association maintains each property differently , however some take care of everything from the sheet rock out meaning the entire exterior of your property is maintained by them and you don’t have to lift a finger. For instance some communities in Myrtle Beach like Antigua have homes that all look alike. They pressure wash the homes for you, trim the hedges, cut the grass, maintain the common areas, etc. Myrtle Pointe in Plantation Point has an HOA that includes, basic cable, water, trash pick up, exterior maintenance, common areas, pool, clubhouse and wireless internet. Be sure to ask your agent what the monthly fees are, have their been any previous assessments, are new assessments coming up, what does the HOA fee cover , etc. Here are Dargan Real Estate we are here to answer any questions you have.
