Attention! The Malibu Pointe ocean view condo in North Myrtle Beach is now under foreclosure. Price are up to HALF off what they were two years ago during pre-construction.  That means a perfect Myrtle Beach real estate investment!

Malibu Pointe is one of the most popular vacation rentals in North Myrtle Beach because of its amenities/value.  Because it’s an ocean view condo, the price is lower, but yet, you still get ceramic tile floors, granite countertops, master bath jacuzzi, private balconies, lazy river and all the other amenities of a first class resort.  And because of the value, it’s a hot spot for Myrtle Beach golf packages.

Malibu one-bedroom units, which sold at presale in 2007 for $299,900, are now selling for $150,000 through CondoLux. Three-bedrooms which were $550,000 are going for $295,000; four bedrooms from $689,900 to $349,900. To top it off, these units are fully furnished and ready for rentals as well.   Read the full real estate foreclosure article on PR Web or learn more about other Myrtle Beach condo foreclosures.

The Myrtle Beach area is an excellent choice for investors because of its value as an oceanfront tourist destination and Myrtle Beach golf destination. The area is constantly growing with the millions of yearly visitors converting to the residential population.  Those choosing to live in the area will find an abundance of attractions, shops, entertainment, dining, and golf destinations.

CondoLux received a rather touching letter recently from S.O.S. Health Care, Inc. out of Myrtle Beach, thanking us for our help throughout the years.  Although CondoLux specializes in Myrtle Beach condo rentals and real estate sales, we are a company that does give back to the community in any way we can. Last Christmas was no different.

Last year, CondoLux adopted a family for Christmas, with the staff bringing in loads of wrapped Christmas presents – stuff the family wanted, as well as needed.  We felt good being able to lend a hand and reach out to those in need.

However, the point of this article is not to gloat about CondoLux, but to make aware of the content of the letter written to us, and hopefully it will bring a smile and warm feelings to you.  For almost 20 years, S.O.S. Health Care has been in the “helping hand” business for children. Their Caring-4-Kids program has helped changed lives for years. A part of the letter reads:

“Recently, when perusing the Sun News, a horoscope caught my eye. Mind you, I don’t regularly check my horoscope but here is what it said: ‘You have two hands: One is for helping yourself, the other is for helping others. Think about this in the week ahead, since you may be called upon to assist a friend or achieve a compromise.’”

Thank you S.O.S. for allowing us to help lend our other hand.

The Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce recently launched www.myrtlebeachbikerinfo.com stating in a message from mayor John Rhodes the city’s decision to no longer host the  Harley-Davidson Dealers Association Spring Rally and the Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Bikefest bike rallies.

Mayor Rhodes indicates in his statement that this ordinance was an  extremely difficult decision for the city. Myrtle Beach welcomes anyone who would like to visit anytime of the year, after all the city has some of the nicest luxury condos rentals, restaurants, golf, live theater, and shopping anywhere on the east coast. Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand are a vacation paradise resort of sorts.

In fact though, the rallies were just growing too large and putting an undue strain on the city.  Government staff, Myrtle Beach residents, and local businesses strained to keep up with the hundreds of thousands of people that flooded the city in such a short amount of time. Mayor Rhodes wants to be very clear that Myrtle Beach is not anti-biker. The point of contention here for the city is that the rallies are just too big and last for too long.

One fact that could not be ignored was the clear and insistent opposition that was being raised by the residents of Myrtle Beach. Many people that live in the area felt like they were forced out of their homes and their hometown for the better part of a month.

The city has passed a dozen or so new ordinances which will govern those bikers that still chooses to come to the Grand Strand during these weeks in May. We will highlight just a few of these new laws here, but for the complete list please go to www.myrtlebeachbikerinfo.com.

“Everyone on a motorcycle must wear a safety helmet and protective eyewear (glasses, goggles, face shield, etc.) at all times while the cycle is moving.”

“Curfew is in effect from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. for juveniles under age 18, with certain exceptions. Violators are detained and parents are called.”

“No alcohol consumption or open container possession allowed in parking lots and garages of any business.”

*All ordinances taken verbatem from the information posted at www.myrtlebeachbikerinfo.com.

It is difficult to predict at this juncture what the long-term  effects will be for the city, businesses, and residents, but one thing is for certain the area will always be a popular destination for vacationers looking for Myrtle Beach Condos to rent, delicious seafood to eat, endless entertainment possibilites, warm ocean air, bright sunshine, and a wonderful vacation experience year after year.

If you are looking for a new selection of Myrtle Beach condo rentals, you’re in luck. Real estate might be hitting a low, with the economy right behind. Not to mention the stock market taking a huge dip as well. However, there is one constant that remains true every year. People are still coming to Myrtle Beach for their vacation! Knowing this, CondoLux Vacation Rentals has expanded into the Myrtle Beach area to provide some of the best luxury resorts in Myrtle Beach.

CondoLux, who for over 23 years has been an industry leader in vacation rentals in North Myrtle Beach, has opened a new office in Myrtle Beach, offering some of the top vacation rental resorts and condos the area has to offer. Some of their top resorts include: Bay View, Paradise Resort, Sands Ocean Club, The Atlantica, Grande Shores, The Breakers.

The new office opened only a month ago, but they already have a large list of Myrtle Beach condo rentals for next year. Guests can check-in at the office on 21st Avenue North in Myrtle Beach and go straight to their condo, all within a very short drive.

“CondoLux already offers some of the best condos and beach homes in North Myrtle Beach,” said David O’Connell, who is overseeing the new office in Myrtle Beach. “Now with this office here, guests have a choice of either North Myrtle Beach or Myrtle Beach rentals through CondoLux.”

That means more of a variety for guests to choose from. The new office will offer luxury Myrtle Beach condo rentals, golf packages, and real estate sales. Along with a new office, the company also launched a fresh new website www.myrtlebeachluxuryrentals.com to display their Myrtle Beach properties.

Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach are two seperate cities, often confused by tourists as being the same. Generally speaking, Myrtle Beach has more attractions, but North Myrtle Beach offers a quieter atmosphere with less congestion along Ocean Blvd during the busy season.

Myrtle Beach has been voted as a “Top Family Destination” by Ask.com, “Overall Value For Money Destination” by Golf Digest, “Top 10 Places for Families to Visit in the U.S.” by Yahoo!, and the list goes on and on.  Popularly known as the Grand Strand, the Myrtle Beach area actually encompases 12 cities with over 60 miles of beach that was voted as “World’s Best Beach” by Yahoo! Travel.
