Feb 2008 Update

Bahama Sands is complete, the new oceanfront homeowners are moving in, and you can see the new furnishings and accessories on our www.condovacations.net website. Enclosed, please find a photo of the completed project showing the new glass enclosed indoor pool. This pool was not part of the pre-sale plans, but the developers thought it would go well with Bahama Sands glass balconies and glass elevator landings. Along with the columns, arches, barrel tile and other architectural details, everyone agrees no other building in the Crescent Section of North Myrtle Beach is nearly as attractive as Bahama Sands.

After more than 20 of these updates, closings finally began at Bahama Sands and we were glad to see the moving trucks show up, loaded with new furniture for the oceanfront condominiums. You will be happy to see Elevator #3 is taller than the other 2 elevators and will easily accommodate that long sofa or sectional for your oceanfront living room. Distinct Impressions and other designers can reserve this elevator to make sure your furnishings are delivered and set up without the delay of waiting for an elevator. If you have a question about closing, remember the developer is the decision maker, we are just the sales agent.

Hopefully, I didn't miss any homeowners that have visited in 2008. I suspect a few were having too much fun at the beach to drop by the sales office. Having spend so much time on site while Bahama Sands was under construction, I am on vacation most of this month. This will cause me to miss some closings which have been rescheduled while the contractor and developers settle the final construction matters.

The technical experts on our sales team have some new features you will enjoy if you have either a broadband connection or a smartphone. The first is our video blog which will replace this monthly update in a year or so. When visiting the Condotels website, just click on the icon for the latest news about Bahama Sands and other subjects of interest to resort condominium owners. While you are there, click on the cell phone icon to have access to our video blog and updates from your mobile phone. Communication is a key to success and its the reason we finished 2007 as #1 in resales of the newest and best oceanfront condos.

Enclosed please find an article on increased business at local condo rental and hotel firms. Reservations are up 11%, a healthy growth figure for any industry. Experts believe Myrtle beach is gaining popularity with the heavily populated Northeast corridor, stretching from the Washington suburbs to Boston. Residents in this area have excellent demographics and find Myrtle Beach very affordable compared to Delaware, New Jersey, and Massachusetts beach vacations. Vacation rentals are the best source of new sales prospects and we look forward to meeting the new visitors.

Don't forget to let us know about your next visit to the beach. The developer can arrange a walk thru on short notice, if necessary. Call Bahama Sands Project Coordinator Toni Burnette at 843-249-5245.
