    One bedroom, extra long double beds
    Shannon D.

    We had a wonderful stay here to celebrate my son's 16th birthday! Very thankful for the military discount and how easy it was to book over the phone. Review their refund/cancellation policy in case you possibly may need to change plans. Our room was clean, the AC was able to keep up with the heat, staff were always maintaining the pool area. Plenty of seating around the pool. We never had an issue. Close to all the places we hoped to visit. Parking garage is across the street. We brought a wagon to help with unloading/loading. They do have a lot for "over sized" vehicles that is not covered and locked with a chain. We were very pleased and would return. We booked directly through the resort to be able to access the military discount.

    My boyfriend and I booked this place for a one night stay. It was 100% better than the other hotel we were staying at before changing. We were on the 7th floor and the view was beautiful!!!! The pools were nice and the hot tubs were really hot. I enjoyed my time there and if I ever come back I will be staying at this hotel again!

    Our daily walk..just beautiful!

    The condo was beautiful and resort amenities expansive. It's great they have a covered parking structure which not all have. The condo was super clean with lots of towels, supplies, a full kitchen and laundry. We stayed in a 3B/3B ocean front condo for two weeks snd enjoyed the gym, pools, and quick access to the beach. There is one big oceanfront and one smaller balcony. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the waves every morning with coffee and evening with snacks and beverages. Staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful. Restaurants snd bars were in walking distance as well as a couple shops, ice cream parlors, and cafes. We recommend and will definitely come back.

    A VERY DISAPPOINTING ENCOUNTER We did our home work first by calling and explaining our plans to launch , park ,and camp on the state park islands. No problem at first. The staff was helpful. The next day, however, the OWNER OR MANAGER (Greg) was a totally different story. We were told at check in that we could use the facilities after spending over $400 for boat permit, launching , parking fees for 5 days. NO PROBLEM on the cost , we realize things are expensive. But when we came back to either use the facilities or drop people off to pick up their vehicles we were met with a totally different welcome . The OWNER/MANAGER Greg threatened us with verbal abuse. Using words " You Campers abusing this marina". Threatening to have our vehicles towed and or saying good luck getting our vehicles out for they will be blocked in. Stating you're going to be banned from Lake George and he was going to call the police- all over taking a shower. Just what you what hear when you going on vacation and paid for their services . ( we even tried to de-esculate the situation by apologizing. There must have been a miscommunication) But he would hear none of it ! And To make matters worse the OWNER/ MANAGER called one of us out with a verbal conversation AND stated he wanted a physical confrontation. At a time when tourism is down, and all of us live locally, its embarrassing that the is how people are being treated. Unreal.

    They've got what ever you want for this holiday. Wonderful meal buffet style and great service. Soothing music to dine by. A great way to spend a quiet Thanksgiving meal..and no cleanup to do! There was alot of food to tempt the taste buds my selections were great. I had mixed salad, rolls, sweet potato casserole w marshmallows, ham, turkey breast au jus, roast beef carving station on plate 1 on plate 2 my second helpings were more sweet potatoes and beef. So good. Then the desserts. .all chocolate cakes, tortes and more. If you are in The Myrtle Beach area for Thxgiving holiday consider buying tickets to their early dinner. Its a very pleasant experience taking place at the Avista hotel and resort.

    Picture of how we had to use towels the whole time. Soaked them pretty quick.

This one was the exception! Right on the beach with amazing ocean front room. We could see the ocean from our bed. Very private, the balconies were shielded from the neighbors and even the pools below could only see us if we were out on the balcony. The views were quite stunning! In addition, the pools were nice plus you have multiple pools to choose from. In the evening, the 2nd floor patio with fire pit was great to hang out and relax. Parking is directly across the street in the parking garage. Very quick and easy to get to. Starbucks across the street as well. Highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay here again!

Check in was a breeze. Staff was super friendly. This hotel is located in a great spot...within walking distance to lots of eateries and direct access to the beach. All of the rooms have ocean views. Initially I thought the bed position was weird but I quickly appreciated waking up to views of the beach and ocean. Everything was clean and well appointed in our king room. My only complaint is that the towels were pretty bad and extremely thin, more so than any other hotel I've visited. We went to the bar on the second floor to people watch. It's a cute spot and has access to outdoor seating with a view and fire pits. Our drinks were just "ok"...I've never had ice in a French 75 and my husband's old fashioned was made with crushed ice and not a ball or large cube which was odd. There is ample parking in the deck across the street. Overall, a nice stay!

    Club Wyndham Ocean Boulevard, N Myrtle Beach, SC. Mid-Sept, 2026. This resort is described as a…read morepremier (3-star) oceanfront timeshare resort featuring 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom suites in four towers with full kitchens, lots of pantry space, balconies, and within-unit washers and dryers. Resort amenities are abundant and include direct beach access, indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, (small) lazy rivers, a fitness center, an arcade, and a fire pit. We made a relatively late reservation here for five nights when we learned that international guests would be visiting. There would be seven guests (all adults) for two nights, and only four of us for the other three nights. We used extra timeshare points (making it more expensive) in order to get a unit on an upper floor, hoping that the upper floor would give us the best ocean view. Unit. (3/5). Our unit in Tower 2 was spacious (especially when there were only 4 of us), and had everything that we needed and was clean. We especially appreciated the fully-stocked full kitchen with generous pantry space, having a washer and dryer in the unit, and the jacuzzi in the main bedroom (which we under-utilized!). The beds were comfortable, and had high quality linens. However, we were somewhat disappointed with the unit as our ocean view was limited (although you could see the ocean, beach, and one of the pools from our balcony). And, as the resort was built in 2002, and last renovated in 2011, it's now beginning to show its age -- with sofas and chairs that were no longer firm, some chips on furniture, and the musty smell that comes with high humidity. Amenities and Activities. (3.5/4). Tower 2 was convenient, and had many amenities that we utilized. It was home to the Lobby and Registration, had direct beach access, a lazy river, access to indoor and outdoor pools, game room/arcade, activities center, gift shop, and fire pit. As with our room, some of the amenities need upgrades. For instance, the hot tub was lukewarm at best, and the markings on the shuffleboard had eroded off. The resort also had a full calendar of "Resort Experiences", which included arts and crafts, shows, fitness classes, and more. HOWEVER, we were three days in before we even learned that there were resort activities, as we weren't given a schedule at check-in. For instance, we would've gone to the Sunday evening "Karaoke Welcome Party" at the fire pit, but we weren't aware. We DID enjoy the "Hula Fire Show" a few nights later. A few other random points. (1) Parking could be challenging if it's important to you to have parking close to your unit. If not, there's plentiful parking (and a free shuttle, which we didn't utilize) behind Tower 4. We were able to get parking in Tower 2 most evenings, except one evening when we got back late. (2) we were surprised that the concierge did have discount tickets to the shows in Myrtle Beach that we wanted to attend. (3) we would stay here again, but probably wouldn't pay extra again for a higher floor.

Since it was definitely post-season, we appreciated having fewer people around, making for a more relaxing stay. The weather was nice, although the water was a bit cold, but the view from the ocean-view villas was spectacular and truly beautiful. One thing I really liked was the on-site kitchen! It's a huge money-saver, especially for families. Even making one meal a day at home helps offset travel costs, and it was convenient to have that option. The hot tubs were a lifesaver since it was so cold outside, and they offered fun classes like s'mores for kids and aqua exercise classes, which added some extra entertainment. The gym was well-equipped, and the service overall was great. However, on our last day, the housekeeper knocked and entered immediately without giving us a moment to respond, that felt a bit unprofessional. Despite that, I still found the place and the area on that side of Myrtle Beach to be wonderful. If you're planning a trip, I'd definitely recommend visiting off-season for the best prices and a more peaceful experience!

Negatives: 1) Not enough handicapped parking, 10 spaces total. That equals ONE space for every two floors of the hotel. 2) Could not get to and from pool to beach area. Gate were locked and blocked by large trash cans! 3) Safe took up entire closet in the master. Absolutely no where to put luggage.

It was spacious, beautifully decorated and modern, with an incredible view of the beach and a well-stocked kitchen with practically everything you could possibly need including a blender, toaster, coffee maker, and ice maker in the freezer. It also included all of the pots, pans, dishes, silverware, and utensils you could use, which was great for us since we cooked multiple meals during our stay. An unexpected but wonderful surprise was the paperback novels in the drawer, which I enjoyed reading on the 2 beautiful balconies. There was seating and sleeping for up to 10 people and the space felt light and airy with colorful seaside decor. The beds were comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was almost a luxury. The pools, hot tubs, and lazy rivers were all great and the location couldn't be beat - only a mile away from shopping and less than 5 miles away from any type of cuisine you could imagine to eat when dining out. Now the not so good - the breakfast buffet does not have very many options and is grossly overpriced for what it offers. Yes, there is an omelet / waffle station, but it was very difficult to get the attention of the person doing the cooking and he seemed irritated when asked to actually make something. The maintenance person called us to tell us that the master shower had an issue with a broken handheld shower hose, which he would fix while we were here, but we didn't see him after that during our 5 day stay because the part had to be ordered and it was a holiday weekend. The kitchen is well stocked with everything except cleaning supplies and there is no housekeeping, so we had to buy our own dishwashing liquid to do dishes, paper towels, and scrubbies to be able to hand wash dishes. They only provided a single kitchen trash bag and a single dishwasher pod as well as one kitchen washrage and one kitchen towel. When we called down to the front desk to have someone bring us more, it took 2 phone calls before someone came and dropped them off. All in all, the stay was relaxing and wonderful with only minor inconveniences. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay on the beach with all of the comforts of home. The owners of this condo are to be commended on how well they decorated and stocked it.
