A 1941 gorgeous classic Beach Cottage loaded with style and character. I am the 3rd owner in summer 2017 having been previously owned by Myrtle who passed in 2006, inherited by her son Bob. To respect their memory it is now named "Myrtle's Place". Many people said to me you must knock it down and build a humongous new building explaining it will be a better investment rather than remodeling costs. I LOVE the character and story of Myrtle's Beach Cottage and was determined to keep the character. The design was continuously adapted throughout the rebuild effort which took over 12 months (finished May 2019) always considering the balance between modern amenities for guests and retaining the original classic beach bungalow character. So many of these older cottages have gone forever, but Myrtle's Place lives on....
