Mr. and Mrs. Murray were both in the service; he was a dentist and she a nurse. They were stationed in Maui where they met and married. That was just over sixty years ago. They have three children who have made their lives along the east coast. Mr. and Mrs. Murray come from Taunton, Massachusetts (about 40 miles south of Boston) to spend their winters in Myrtle Beach.

Since coming to Myrtle Beach, Mrs. Murray has also started painting and took a painting class in Litchfield, which is about eight miles south of the resort, where she spends the winter.. Her husband took a computer class for seniors at Myrtle Beach's Coastal Carolina University, and now sets up his computer upon arrival. All of this is great fun, but of course the real beauty of Myrtle Beach is the Atlantic Ocean, which Mr. Murray refers to as "his ocean."

They choose the Myrtle Beach Resort because they met Pat Finch, who is now the director of owner operations, their first year and she always makes them feel welcome. They look forward to seeing her and other friendly faces each winter. They also enjoy the fact that the resort has 24-hr security so they can get out and take evening walks and feel safe. They still own a house in Tautin, but enjoy the five months they spend in Myrtle Beach where they can let the maintenance staff take care of their needs. Another advantage to being here is that Myrtle Beach is a central location for their children to come and spend time with them.

When asked what The Myrtle Beach Resort could improve on, Mrs. Murray shared that, since she has been coming here for so long, she knows who to call for what, to get her needs met. However, like with any growing business changes are occasionally made. She would like to see information more easily available to newcomers, as well as, long time residents like herself. The Myrtle Beach Resort is happy to be made aware of this and will address this issue.

Mrs. Murray also shared that she meets people at The Myrtle Beach Resort who use it as a stopping point when traveling to and from Florida. A lot of the people she meets enjoy their stay and decide to spend the following winter in Myrtle Beach.
