We totally enjoyed our stay. The condo is very well furnished, feels like going into someones home with all the ammenities. It was very clean, in a very nice community. Friendly neighbors and very relaxing. We especially liked the central location to the entire Myrtle Beach area. Hope to come back again.

This was my second year staying in Don & Ellen's Waterway Village Condo. We all enjoyed it very much as everything was very close to where the condo is located. The best part was how close to the swimming pool the condo is, barely 100 feet! This was a relaxing and peaceful vacation and I will most certainly be staying in one of Don & Ellen's condos in the future! Thanks again!

We had such a great time. The pool was great on the hot days and the hot tub welcomed on cooler days. The screened in porch was the highlight with breakfast, hot chocolate, and a book every morning with the sunrise. Our anole friend was always there to greet us. We were fortunate to not have immediate neighbors for just about our entire stay, but even when they arrived – we only heard them in the morning. My oldest daughter fell in love with the pier and slipped away for quiet times by herself. My youngest daughter loved the Sponge Bob game in the bedroom. And, both were happy to be able to watch Dancing with the Stars, like they do at home.
Down 17 in Barefoot Landing, Alligator Adventure was surprisingly interesting and we ran around like crazy at the Laser Tag. Broadway at the Beach was closer and was one of our favorite places to go to (besides the actual beach of course!) And, Bob Evans was right around the corner and extremely friendly place for a quick, inexpensive meal. The Hard Rock Park was open, but not fully functioning when we were there. Next year, right? Oh, and the Medieval Times is a “must do” at least once in your life – just be prepared to cheer on your knight! (David almost lost his voice.)
We really hope to be able to come back again. It was a wonderful, relaxing vacation in a beautiful, safe, atmosphere. Don and Ellen, you have done a great job with the condo! It was exactly what we needed.

Ellen and Don

We have recently returned from a wonderful week at your Waterway Village condo. The unit was spacious, clean, bright and quiet. The screened porch was the setting for many early morning coffee discussions. The kitchen was well organized and fully equipped to meet all of our needs. The hot tub, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools were well maintained and very close to the condo. We had a great time and appreciated your consistenly prompt, professional and efficient communication with us. We hope to return for another visit.

We really appreciate all the amenities this condo has to offer. The waterway view, the spacious king-size bed, the Xbox game which my 5-year-old son couldnt stop playing, the veranda, the complete kitchen, just about everything made me feel like I am home. I even found a sewing kit when I needed it! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends who would be visiting Myrtle Beach because I definitely will when I get the chance to go back to Myrtle Beach.

This was our first time renting a vacation condo and we were apprehensive. Once we walked in the condo we were pleasantly suprised at the cleanliness of the unit. The location ideal as well. Our favorite place is the screened in porch. Thank you for sharing your home with us and we intend on returning.

This was our first time at the Bishop's condo and my whole family loved it... It is close to everything. My boys loved the pool and playing the games that were at the Condo(Yahtzee - was the family favorite). The condo had everything you needed in it and it was very clean. We are definitely going back!!!!!!!!!

We had a very nice relaxing time at this condo . We loved the porch overlooking the waterway. The weather was great. I would surely rent from Don and Ellen again.

We have just returned from Don's condo in Myrtle Beach and had a wonderful vacation. The condo is just as we expected, based on the photographs on the internet, very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. We loved being on the waterway and our girls enjoyed swimming in the large pool each day. It was nice to be in a quieter area but close to the action of the Grand Strand and shopping areas. We liked having all the amenities of a home including washer, dryer, etc. We plan to rent from Don again the in future and highly recommend his condo. Thanks, Don & Ellen, for a wonderful stay.

This was our 5th year at Myrtle Beach & the Waterway Village condo. It was one of our best vacations yet! We look forward to our trip to SC every year & to have such a beautiful "home" to stay in is SO worth the 14 hour drive! Our boys LOVE the pool & hot tub ~ we love to just sit outside & keep our eyes on the waterway and watch the boats go by. The condo is beautiful, clean, peaceful & close enough to the beach, shopping, golf, shows etc... yet far enough away from the tourist commotion. We thank you so much & look
forward to next year & continuing our tradition!

This year was are 3rd visit to the area, we rented a condo our first two years but Don's location was 100% better. We were close to the outdoor pool which we used daily, and we also seen alot of boats on the waterway. The condo did not lack for anything. We had alot of rain days, but Don's condo was ready with cards, games, movies, even Xbox! We took alot of walks along the waterway, and enjoyed the large screened porch. Don was a great person to deal with too. When we decide to vacation again at Myrtle Beach, Don will be the first person We call.

I have just got back from renting Don's condo for a month. I was very nervous on arrival because I had booked this condo over the internet, something I had not done before, I had always seen the units that I would be renting. I am a extremely fussy person, my hand was shaking when I unlocked the door, I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I walked in, it was spotless, and very well stocked.
I would highly recommend Don's condo to anyone, It is in a great location, and Don is a very professional person to deal with.

When I travel, I usually rent from hotel chains or companies. So, I was afraid to rent a condo online from an individual. But I decided to try it anyway. I am so glad that I did!
The owner of the unit is very professional, he is also very honest, and his condo is beautiful! The condo is located in a gated community with security gaurds, and it is a very pretty and peaceful property. And the location is awesome.
The propery is located right off of Highway #501, and is very close to Highway #17, which are both major highways in Myrtle Beach. There is also a beautiful golf course right on the property. The property is also close to Ocean Blvd. and all of the action.
The condo itself, is just as pictured in the add. It is very spacious and extra clean. I was very impressed.
The owner of the unit was a joy to do business with, he is also licenesed to rent his unii out. He is very professional and was a gracious host. I feel blessed to have found him on the internet. I was traveling with my three daughters ages..13, 7, and 10 months old, and I was worried about the accomodations. But upon our arrival to the complex, my mind was immediately at peace. And once we entered the unit, we felt as if we were really at a "home away from home".
I hope that the next time we go to Myrtle Beach, this condo will still be for rent.

This year was our second visit to Don's condo, and it won't be our last. We again felt completely at home in this well-appointed and spotless 2-bedroom ground floor apartment.

What sets it above so many others for us is the location - right on the never-boring intra-coastal waterway - in very tranquil and quiet surroundings. Sitting in the large screened porch in the evening, with a nice glass of chilled wine, is a delight not to be missed.

But, being literally seconds away from Hwy 501, and then quickly onto the north-south fast routes brought just about every golf course in the vicinity to within a comfortable hour from apartment to first tee. This is a key consideration for us. The coast itself is secondary to our needs, but many beaches are just an easy stretch away by car. However, a swim in the large pool/hot tub area is just yards away from the apartment, without being at all intrusive.

No problems, either, with quick access to the main grocery stores and other shopping on Hwy 501 and 17.

Whilst we would love to keep information on this gem of a location to ourselves, it's only fair to Don to tell others just how much we have enjoyed our visits, and just how great his apartment really is. Now, where's next year's planner................

I enjoyed my stay here. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the screened porch watching the boats pass by on the intercoastal waterway. A truly serene and peaceful setting.

The condo was beautiful my family and I had a wonderful time. I especially loved the fact that we were on the ground floor near the pool and jacuzzi. I also loved the screen porch which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful view without being bitten by mosquitos. I will definitely be back.

We have just returned from staying at this beautiful and well maintained condo. There were six of us (3 sisters and husbands)and we never got in each others way. The condo is so spacious and well equipped. We loved sitting on the balcony with coffee in the morning watching the golfers. So peaceful and serene. Also very convenient to stores, shopping, nightlife, etc. We will definitely be back. Don was a pleasure to work with.

We spent 5 weeks with our brother in law and sister at Don and Ellen's condo. We have stayed many times in Myrtle Beach and many more times in Florida. This condo ranks at the top. It is extremely comfortable and well equipped. After a hard day on the golf course it was a pleasure to return to this unit and sink into the soft couches and chairs for happy hour.

Don was a pleasure to talk to and made the process easy. The condo was great. The condo was clean and had all the comforts of home. The amenities were top of the line. I was impressed. Would stay again and have recommended the condo to everyone I know.

WE RECENTLY STAYED AT THE GRAND VILLAS DON AND ELLEN. THE CONDO IS SPACIOUS AND WAS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE. THE ELEVATOR WAS A GODSEND FOR SOME OF THE OTHER GUESTS IN OUR GROUP. IT WAS A GREAT LOCATION FOR GOLF AND EASY ACCESS TO THE OTHER GOLF COURSES IN THE AREA.THE ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO GET BIGGER T.V.'S IN THE BEDROOMS.15 IN. IS TOO SMALL.OVERALL WE HAD A WONDERFUL VACATION AND LOOK FORWARD TO RENTING THE UNIT AGAIN.

The condo was very roomy and clean. We loved the fact that each bedroom had its own private bathroom. While the guys played golf the ladies spent time at the beach and shopping.

However, the family came together in the evenings and either had dinner in the condo (well equipped kitchen) or we went out for dinner and a show.

We highly recommend this condo. Don was very attentive to our needs.

We look forward to going back.

This is the perfect vacation spot as far as my husband & I are concerned! Even if you do not golf this place is exceptional! The perfect home away from home - everything you can possibly need and more, TV & DVD players in everyroom, XBOX, beautifuly furnished... plently of room for everyone. The condo is so close to everything from the different attractions, outlets, resturants, & and the beach! Everything is so close yet it is so peaceful at the condo. Don & Ellen were wonderful to deal with form the time we made the reservation until the time we left could not ask for better people to work with. We will without at doubt be returning!!

If your looking for a spacious, clean, above average place to relax while visiting Myrtle Beach, I doubt you will find better accomodations than those offered by Don and Ellen Bishop at their Grand Villas condo. Our party of three found everything to be as indicated on the website and much, much more. Great people to deal with and yes, we will rent from them again...hopefully soon so I can get another crack at number 6 hole, (nicknamed The Gambler) at Kings North.

My family just returned from spending the week at the grand villas condo and it was wonderful. The space and furnishings there make you feel like you are at home and not a condo. The "extras" such as the xbox, dvd players in every room, and three bathrooms were the icing on the cake. The proximity to everything was also a plus and the owners were great literally from the day we reserved the condo to the day we left. Do yourself a favor and stay at the grand villas.

We spent the week of 6/2 to 6/9 2007 in this condo. The unit has exceptional furnishings, bedding, linenes and appliances (both large and small). Great pool and excercise room. Good location, quiet yet close to everything Myrtle Beach has to offer. Owner is responsive and efficient. Exceeded all of our expecations. The Peters

The Grande Villa at World Tour Golf Links exceded our expectations. The pictures DO NOT do the condo justice, from the vaulted ceilings to the marble counters in the kitchen. The owners have thought of everything a person could possibly need. This property is very clean and well maintained inside and out. Located very close to several major roadways (i.e. 501, BUS 17, Bypass 17, 22) but tucked away nicely on a beautiful golf course so you feel seperated from the sometimes crazy Myrtle Beach stir. Renting this condo is as easy staying at any hotel, but shouldn't be compared as the Grande Villa is superior in all categories. My family and I frequent Myrtle Beach 3 or 4 times a year and have stayed at various condos and hotels this property has out done them all. The Grande Villa will always be my families first option for our Myrtle Beach vacation.

We just returned from a 2 month vacation in this luxury condo.It had everything in it to make it a "home away from home"
The view from the balcony was beautiful and relaxing. The location of the condo provided easy access to shopping, golf and local attraction. We would certainly stay here again when in Myrtle Beach.

Mr. Bishop,
Thank you for allowing us to rent your condo in Myrtle Beach, SC. Our vacation was long awaited and although we expected to have a wonderful time, it was more than we could have imagined. Hopefully, we can use your condo again should we decide to visit Myrtle Beach on other occasions.
Respectfully,
