Papa’s World – Ocean Keyes- a nine-month rental!

What started as a two- or three-month rental turned into nine months!

We had sold our home in NVA. and moved to North Myrtle Beach to this condo in Ocean Keyes-

Simply because after 6 weeks – we could not find anything we liked enough to purchase –

so we decided to build across the border of N.C. in Ocean Isle Beach in the community of Cameron Woods.

So – we extended the rental by three months and then another three months!

These two pictures were the views we had from our large lanai on the top fourth floor with two

elevators – three bedrooms and two baths.

A kitchen – dining room and living room and this huge lanai with two glass sliding doors –

one from the living room and one from the master bedroom.

There was a table and chairs – four rocking chairs and “THE VIEW” of a lake

with six water fountains – and we could not see the end of the lake.

We had two swans that would be all over the lake.

There were 750 condos and six swimming pools in the gated community –

a tennis court and a workout building.

walking through the community –

in one-half mile we were standing on the sand of NMB – and right on the main street.

The Swans were on the lake every day and there were times they took off and flew straight at us and zoomed at the last moment right over our lanai.

I could stand up on the lanai and look straight down and see huge fish –

there were otters and ducks and geese.

Never saw any gators and was told they had removed them as this at one time was a golf course.

At the far end toward the Ocean out of sight of our condo – a bench – three white ducks – always together-

and I named them HUEY – DEWIE and LOUIE!

Where one went the other two followed.

Often I would walk here from the condo and sit and watch the Swans and Ducks and Geese –

a couple times I observed small water snakes – and tons of little ducks and geese.

One of the two fountains I could not see from our lanai – small ducks and large ones –

PAPA’S WORLD – OCEAN KEYES – A NINE-MONTH CONDO RENTAL – NORTH MYRTLE BEACH!

Papa’s World – Morning begins our day out to Barefoot Landing!

Waking up everyday to a sunrise!

We do plan some days ahead –

mostly – we walk in the mornings

usually around 9 am.

Other days it is errands to run – houses to see

areas to explore –

and a trip down the street

to BAREFOOT LANDING in North Myrtle Beach!

Now – to get our STEPS in

we go here and walk around.

It is peaceful – not crowded

and you walk around the lake

and among the stores.

We wear our masks when it gets crowded

We also have had lunch here.

And it is maybe 5 or 6 miles away.

There is construction going on for a new brewery

and it looks to be really huge!

But in the mean time – they have set up a small park like area.

With tables – artificial lawn – stringed lights

a playground for kids

and a small tear drop trailer that is converted into a kitchen!

It is called Crooked Hammock Brewery!

I had one of them from a small TIKI LIKE HUT

next to the tear drop trailer.

It was what I wanted – not too heavy

and a hint of coconut aftertaste.

Now that may not sound good to you

but I enjoyed it and would drink it again.

I do not like IPA’s or heavy beer.

While sitting there at a long table all by ourselves

a table that could easily seat 10 or 12 people.

I noticed another couple with masks on purchase a couple beers

in cans from the brewery.

They had no where to sit

so I invited them to sit at the other end of our long table.

We carried on a conversation and found out at one time they had lived near us in Northern Va.

They had done the same as us and had purchased a condo

overlooking the marina – where we had previously

had dinner with the McBrides and Sherry’s sister

at a place called CLARK’S!

We had met another couple – exchanged address’s

and phone numbers –

we had made new friends simply by offering a seat for them.

You never know as your day starts what will transpire.

What began with a brand new sunrise

turned into a fine day of walking – meeting new friends

and discovering a new brewery.

Life is good and getting better!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World
