An absolute 5 star experience that I'd give 10 stars if I could. The picnic was stunning beautiful,…read morephotogenic, romantic, and vacation-making. Really, the only downside is that my own self-crafted picnics are going to be sad by comparison for the rest of my life. I want to book another one soon. Note: I booked a 1.5hr Sunrise Deluxe picnic. PROS: -THE PICNIC IS BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOD. The pictures capture some of the beauty, but a lot of the magic of the picnic is in the beautiful, expansive layout set up against the sunrise/sunset. That initial "pow!" view is just flawless. -BUT REALLY. Obviously, the pictures "sell" the picnic really well, but a lot of it is in the details that you don't see until you sit down. The blankets we had that perfect, "fresh from the dryer" smell to them. The cloth napkins had zero wrinkles in them. The hand-written sign looks brand new with no sign of any other words ever having been written on it. The included tipi was perfectly placed that it didn't get in the way of our sunrise view...but once the sun was up, it blocked the seating perfectly so we could sit without the sun in our eyes. Complimentary water was included and on fresh ice. Laminated instructions included with the Bluetooth speaker to ensure you're not spending any extra time learning new tech. The large beach blanket laid out under the picnic was large enough to give you tons of wiggle room without running into sand. Speaking of sand, there wasn't a speck of sand anywhere on the blankets or on the tables or chairs. I think the owners may be sand wizards. -It's amazing to literally show up and have an extremely, overwhelmingly romantic, view all set up and with zero work on your end. Even for me (the person who scheduled it), it was a surprise just to see it all there. -On that note, if you're going to "surprise" a partner or someone with the picnic, I'd recommend blindfolding them and having them wait a little ways from the picnic. The owners will be there for the "handoff" of both arrival and departure, but they're clearly versed in surprises and talked in whispers and quietly scuttled off for us to get down to the picnic part. -A rush of unexpected frigid weather meant we were extremely underpacked for the 50 degree temperatures. I noted it to the owner, and they brought extra blankets. When I mentioned we'd had some beach fly issues on our own part of Myrtle Beach, they packed us discreet bug spray too (though I'm happy to report no bug issues during the picnic!) -The sitting wicker cushions (I think they're meditation platforms?) are surprisingly comfortable. I wouldn't say you'll want to be on them for hours on end, but they're great for staying seated and cuddling for a 1.5hr picnic. I'd plan for lawn games and a bit of movement if you're doing a longer party with lots of people. -I had some questions about availability and where they could set up. They answered Instagram messages mostly within 24 hours, and I was able to go from "no idea this company exists" to "confidently booked picnic" within 4 days with no issue. CONS: -MB Picnic is only able to use public beach accesses to set up their picnics on beaches. Not a huge deal for most, but if you're staying in a large complex, you might need to drive over to a public beach access point for your picnic. -All of the seating options that I saw required being on the ground for sitting. (wicker cushions, ground pillows, flat sand rattan chairs, tipi) It's not an issue for me, but for mobility concerns, MB Picnic could consider adding some sort of default/swappable elevated chair option for others. (I'm pretty sure they'd already provide that upon request if you asked though! The owners were extremely accommodating!) -Not MB Picnic's fault, but I hadn't really thought about how stunning their picnic would be. I mean, I HAD which is why I booked them, but I hadn't thought about how stunning other people would find it either. During our 1.5 hour picnic, we had 6 different sunrise beach walkers come up and talk to us. Depending on what vibe you're going for (celebrating something awesome vs romantic, private picnic), this is something to consider. People didn't start really talking to us until sunrise was over and the sun was up, though, so we had the cute private moments to start the picnic; plan accordingly if you're going to be doing your own sunrise picnic.

Since the time of my original Yelp about the Pine Lakes County Club aka "The Granddaddy", I've…read morevisited down to the Myrtle Beach area about five more times and during these visits have gotten to enjoy several more dining experiences over at the establishment. There hasn't been a bad meal yet, and the service is quite friendly and fast. They set up a large buffet a few times a week and each is themed. So far I've done the Taco night, Stuffed Pork Chop night, Italian night and so on and everything has been fantastic and for a very good price. This is important considering just how much the cost of food has gotten in this current economy. Now I've never been a pork chop person but I do indeed love their stuffed pork chops. That should tell you something. Mary Bell is the woman in charge of the team preparing the dinner service and she's awesome. I've found Mary checking in with patrons in the dining area as well as being one of the folks helping people get their eats on the buffet line with a smile and a quick chat. My folks are there so much that they now seem like old friends. It's a pleasant atmosphere for sure and you will not leave hungry. I'm not lying when I say that I look forward to my next visit to the folks so we can all enjoy the Pine Lakes together again as a family. I'm talking about the dining and not the golfing. I leave that part to my Pop. Things I've learned as well over the time I've been here is that you can get a gift certificate of any denomination so if you have friends or relatives in the region and they show interest in the place you've just crossed one more item off your holiday list. If you're there by all means check them out,

Since I am from out-of-state, I trusted her with everything, and everything turned out perfectly. Although we did choose our decorations, cake flavors, etc., all we really had to do was to show up!
