The Ocean Gem was overall an okay place to stay while we were in North Myrtle Beach. It's older for sure, but still cozy. There was some strange smells in specific corners of the house, and you can tell previous guests have not seemed to respect the pet-friendliness of the location. It's an older house that is pet friendly, and it smells of both, but once you become nose-blind to it it's a fine place to sleep. Overall could be a little cheaper for the state the house is in, but it is an individual house for rent with the beach across the street, so it's probably the cheapest you're going to find in that regard, just keep that in mind.
