Have you searched for a new community in the Myrtle Beach area that will fit all your needs? If you have, then allow us at North Beach Realty to share the perfect fit for you. Tilghman Beach and Racquet Club is a condo resort that happens to be located about two blocks from Main Street in North Myrtle Beach. This is the perfect place for many dying to live at the beach and still have many different amenities. Let’s look below at why Tilghman Beach and Racquet Club may be the perfect fit for you.

Large Units

One thing that many homeowners look for when it comes to a vacation home, or their forever home is the size of the house. When you purchase a condo at Tilghman Beach and Racquet Club, you will notice that all the units at the resort are three bedrooms and have 2.5 bathrooms. They also have at least one screened-in porch, which is a great asset to having a condo in North Myrtle Beach. Think of all the space that you’ll have for your friends and family to come to stay with you during the summer months or even all year-round.

Amenities

Another great thing about purchasing a home in the Tilghman Beach and Racquet Club are the amenities. Included in your purchase of the condo, you’ll be able to swim in one of the two pools located onsite, and they even have a kiddie pool after playing a game or two of tennis with your neighbors, head over to the hot tub, and chill out for some relaxation. And no need to worry about the stairs when it comes to grocery shopping as each building offers an elevator that is excellent even with small kids.

We had to share so many other fun options about purchasing a home in the Tilghman Beach and Racquet Club. We’d love to talk with you if you are ready to see one of these great units here at the resort. We hope that you find this resort a great one for everyone in the family to love!

Beaches are Open!

March & April were really long months, right?!! Now it’s May and we here at North Beach Vacations are happy to announce that our vacation rentals are open and available to you! Keep reading to learn more about Grand Strand openings below…

We are so delighted to welcome you back!

We hope that you and your family, friends, and loved ones are healthy and safe.

We want to keep you up-to-date as we learn about the lift of many restrictions in North Myrtle Beach, Horry County and South Carolina. As of last Friday, short-term rentals have reopened after an order last month requiring short-term accommodations and hotels to shut down.
 
We are happy to let you know that during your stay, you WILL be able to go to the beach. All beach accesses along the Grand Strand have reopened. Please note, social distancing is required and groups of 3 or more will be separated (families from same permanent residence excluded).
 
If shopping is on your mind…Horry County retailers are allowed to reopen, including clothing, furniture stores, jewelers and florists, after McMaster lifted the order that closed businesses. Among those are some shops at Barefoot Landing and Tanger Outlets.
 
Boating and other water sports may also be enjoyed as public docks and boat landings in Horry County have also reopened. It’s important to note that the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources have advised boaters to not gather on beaches, sandbars or islands.

Watch the sunrise as you sip your morning coffee…

Restaurants Are Open – Outdoor Dining Only

As of Monday, May 4th, Gov. Henry McMaster has allowed restaurants to open for outdoor dining only. For restaurants that aren’t able to provide outdoor dining services to customers, they may still offer takeout, curbside, and delivery services.

One other thing we wanted to point out is that resort pools, fitness centers, game rooms, saunas–pretty much all communal amenities, etc.–are still closed until May 13th, unless the Governor’s order is lifted or extended.  

Here at North Beach Vacations, we’ve been working hard to keep up with all the changes during this crisis. We will keep you updated as we learn more. Until then, if you don’t already have a reservation, please give us a call NOW to book your dream beach vacation today at 800-274-1105.

Mortgage comparison: 15 year vs 30 year

Determining whether to finance for 15 year or 30 year can be challenging.  With a 15 year mortgage you will pay significantly less interest, which is desirable for obvious reasons.  But that is only if you can afford the higher monthly payment.  A 30 year term will allow you to afford more home.  It depends on what is more advantageous for you personally.

Example:  $200,000 morgtgage

Interest rate for 15 years  4%

Interest rate for 30 years 4.5%

15 year monthly payment:  $1,479

30 year monthly payment:  $1,013

15 year term saves you $98,526 in interest but costs $466 more per month.

Weigh the options carefully before making a decision.
