The Great Christmas Light Show
North Myrtle Beach
Posted November 28, 2023 I have been asked for this from many owners recently. I am thinking about starting a page with items for sale or rent from South Hampton Homeowners. I will include furniture, golf carts, condo units etc. I have connected many SH homeowners with extended family members or friends looking for additional units. I have also passed along owners who are selling their units for other interested homeowners. Many possibilities for SH owners to connect and communicated with each other.

Posted November 27, 2023 Our lobby has been decorated for the holiday season. I’ve included photos of the resort lighting also. Posted November 15, 2023 Dear South Hampton Homeowner, It’s that time of the year where we begin to send out the year end newsletters, approved budgets and order coupons (for those that are not set up on auto draft). At this time, we would like to encourage owners who are not set up on ACH, to have their HOA dues and Special Assessment payments, set up on ACH with Alliance by Monday, November 20, 2023. Coupons will be ordered for any owner who pays by check, bill pay or makes one-time payments online. Next year, the Board is considering eliminating ordering coupons for those not on ACH with Alliance. If this does carry through, the cost of ordering the coupons for those not set up on ACH will be posted to each owners account. Thank you, Michelle (Empress)
Merry Christmas From The South Hampton

To hold us over till the lobby can be renovated the board had FOAK take down the wallpaper and paint the walls and elevators in our front lobby. It looks so much better. Click on photos to enlarge.
It was a great 4th of July at the South Hampton. Homeowners gathered for the fly by and for a great firework display. The fireworks continued for 21/2 hours, start to finish from North Carolina to the Marshwalk. The extra bonus we had was the lightening! The weather was perfect and the rain held off. See photos.
The luggage carts are sometimes a problem at the South Hampton. I decided to get my own for groceries. I did a lot of research and ended up with this cart. It comes highly recommended in reviews from many different websites and it holds up to 120 pounds. Here is the Amazon website for the information. The cart folds down for easy storage and I don’t have to hunt for a cart anymore. It has double front swivel wheels for maneuverability and double rear wheels for stability with a detachable extra-large water-resistant canvas bag that is washable. 7/15/2023 Update: I have used this many times for groceries and to haul stuff to the lobby for our get-togethers, it’s great!
The South Hampton landscaping project has begun. Click on photo to see our new landscaping.
Work has begun on our walkway next to our pool between us and the Embassy. All the boards are being replaced and they will enclose the open area at the beginning of the walkway.
The board has met with Doug Millar from Litus to Let and Scott from Starwood once again about our landscaping issues. This has been an ongoing problem since we purchased our unit in 2015. The stones in our driveway beds are too high making it difficult for the red stones to stay in the beds. We have lots of dead scrubs, bushes and grasses that need to be replaced. This has been a sore subject with homeowners for years. We now have new plants that were installed in the front of our building and hopefully the renovation will not stop there. The board will continue to work with Doug & Scott so our property is up to Hilton standards like the other regimes in the resort.
New walkway going in between the South Hampton and Embassy. The KPMA and Litus have been working on a new walkway for Embassy employees. Wooden steps have been removed and there will be a fence across where it leads to the beach. The piping will go in by the Embassy loading docks to help with the flooding. The walkway will end where the short concrete walkway is now. The walkway will not extend close to the pool. Click to view video

Our pool, chairs, umbrellas and deck are all cleaned up and opened on March 7, 2023. We purchased new umbrellas last year and new furniture a few years ago. Four of a Kind stored them well so hopefully we can get more years out of them.
New Beach Showers in front of the South Hampton are here. We have been waiting years to replace the showers that were removed. Spoke with Litus a month ago and it’s great to see the showers finally here. They need a little more work but we are on the way.
Black Drum Grand Opening.
Our Winter Newsletter has been released. Please read it over for upcoming projects, financials, annual May meeting etc.
A Message From The Board of Directors…..Dear South Hampton Owner, We apologize for the short notice, but unfortunately, The South Hampton Board of Directors has been forced to require a Special Assessment effective February 15, 2023, payable within 90 days. The need for this assessment is due to insurance renewal cost coming in significantly higher than our Insurance Agent’s estimate… READ MORE
