    Despite their stated zero tolerance for smoking, we could not get a break from marijuana smoke the entire week and our complaints ignored.

    We have stayed here multiple times and loved it, but this year was not good. Upon arrival, our room was not clean. The floor was covered in dirt and sand and had not been cleaned after the last people. Two burners on the stove did not work and there was a leftover box full of smelly pizza in the oven we discovered on day two. The worst part was the overwhelming smell of marijuana every day. it seeped into our room and we could not sit on our balcony because of it. The hallway and elevators reeked of pot smoke. We talked to the front desk two days in a row, and spoke directly with security who did nothing even though marijuana is completely illegal in SC. I messaged the website and FB page and got zero response. Two pools and a lazy river were also closed. What used to be a family focused resort is now allowing people to do whatever they want, with no regard for other guests. I do not recommend staying here and my family will not return.

    Beautiful sunset from the 19th floor

    Really like this resort. We have always come in December or January, during the down time. I really love the variety of pools that they have, including a really long hot tub that is just great to hang out in. Also, they're very conveniently located & the beach in front is beautifully maintained.

    Loved all the pools especially the baby pool. Loved the easy access to the beach. The view from the balcony was great. However we will not stay ever again due to the roaches. My husband killed six of them when we were there for a one week stay. The first one I saw was crawling in one of the kitchen cabinets. we went to the front desk and they told us "yeah people are always bringing stuff in here" well , we certainly didn't bring them with us. Anyway they sent pest control up ( we weren't in the room when they came, we were out at dinner) and the next day we were still seeing them and up until we checked out. Now my husband has to take all our suitcases and vacuum the outsides and insides before we bring them inside our house.

    Bedbugs!!!!!! I encountered some serious issues during my Memorial Day weekend trip. When I arrived, I was informed that only one car could be parked in the garage due to a new rule they implemented for the busy weekend. After wasting an hour searching for 24-hour parking, we finally figured something out--let's just say we didn't have to go far. Later that night, as I was settling into bed, I noticed a bedbug on my pillow. This was obviously a nightmare, especially since we had our bags and beach items, like coolers, in the room all day. When the front desk was approached they wouldn't guarantee a refund until the manager arrived and insisted we wait for a pest control inspection in the morning. I ended up spending the next six hours, until 6 AM, devising a plan that included going to Walmart for bedbug spray, visiting a laundromat, and using a power washer at a car wash to clean all our belongings. Fortunately, when the manager arrived at 8 AM, she immediately issued a refund and allowed us to continue using the pool and other outdoor areas. However, our trip was over since we had nowhere to sleep that night, which forced us to fly home a day early, ruining the entire experience. In total, we only saw two bedbugs and conducted a thorough inspection of the bed, which appeared very clean. I suspect this might be either a new infestation or remnants of a previously treated one where a few bugs survived. I can predict that they'll comment below, stating that the pest control company found "no evidence" of bedbugs. Be sure to read further; there are other reports as well. We stayed in room 1-310. If you decide to stay there, I hope luck is on your side.

    Dirty floor, dirty furniture!!!!!!!

    Hotel gone downhill. Rooms dirty, ALL furniture need to be replace ASAP. DO NOT depend on using the most cheapest pots/pans/utensils the room provide. Make sure you wear shoes when walking around the room. Rooms need total upgrade. Front desk rude, had the nerves to call us and stated security notified us about throwing water from the 19th floor. No proof and couldn't give us any details. Sound like bullsh*t. It was closed to check out, they just wanted us to leave the room so they can start cleaning. Cleaning lady waiting outside the room 2 hrs before check out.

    # BAYWATCH RESORT by VACASA UNIT 0906 TOWER1 - Everything You Need to Know from a very frequent traveler. First I want to say that I don't know where people go on vacation that can call this unit "luxurious or even good. There are other upgrades units but not this one. I've read all the reviews and judge that this would be an ok choice. I was 90% wrong. Let's do the positive first: Beautiful views of the ocean from the balcony! Lovely outdoor area. All again through the main building. You have to walk outside to get to the main building. It has 4 pools and a couple of tubs. It also has an inside and outside lazy river. Nice for kids. Beach access. There is a couple of beach access points. It also has a breakfast restaurant called the Bay Watch Cafe in the main building. A sweet ice cream store that also sell necessities are located inside the main building. The condo does have a coffee machine with very mediocre coffee. The coffee machine is also burned on the bottom. Let's talk the not so good, or frankly just bad. Building nr 1 is so run down outside and outdated on the inside. You cannot see the rundown part until u get to the dirty hallways and shady room entrances. Checkin: is in person. They will give you a pamphlet with the 10 digit room code to punch in as well as the parking garage code. There is parking outside where u can unload your luggage and then go park your car. Parking: The parking garage is right across the checkin main building. It's free but is first come first serve. They have good working elevators. We had lots of rain and this is why u want to book a room (if you decided to stay here) in the MAIN building. Make sure it's an upgraded unit. We were at building ONE and there is no walk through to the main building. So if it is pouring rain you have to walk outside to go to the main building. There is no cover to and from. The condo: The Condo entrance looks like a 1 star by the hour Motel on the Vegas strip. The condo is clean but so outdated and run down that it's hard to appreciate the cleanliness of it. The couch has stains on it and needed to be replaced years ago. The side of the refrigerator is rusted. There are only 1 bedside table for both beds. So inconvenient. I had to place my charging devices on the floor. How much can a side table cost ? Hairdryer: if anything is going to start a fire it will be this little rusted hair dryer that stopped working after a while. It had to cool down for 10 min before I could use it again. There is NO dishwasher and NO washer or dryer and we had no ice. Other more upgraded units have all of this. There was a leak in one of the hallway downstairs. Overall: This is clearly a place that needs help and clearly the owners of at least this unit cannot give 2 craps about what this place looks like and want to spend no money to maintain it. If u are here for just a day or so and just want to lay your head down and be out during the day, look for a more upgraded unit at least. We will not be back.

    Me, my now Wife & Best man stayed in room 420. My best man flew home on tuesday mornjng after our wedding. We booked through vrbo. We drove from North Ridgeville Ohio and arrived late Saturday afternoon july 23rd 2022. . When we got to the room we had to figure out the digital dead bolt. It was a bit tricky at first. As this was not a standard key card room because it was privately owned. And not owned by the resort. The room was a lil bit dated the lamps were gold from the 90's. I didn't chose to vacation here for lamps. But it was clean and exactly like the pictures on the vrbo listing. I didn't see any bugs in our room the entire stay. There was a fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of towels. The view of the ocean from the balcony was amazing! The room, amenitys, pools, and beach access. The host on vrbo was great there was nothing in there control to complain about everyrhing was exactly as it was promised in the listing. We got married on July 25 2022 on my birthday. She was my birthday present. Enchantedbeachweddings. Com set it up on the 14th street beach up the street. The complaints I did have outside the hosts control.. This does not reflect the host. As they don't control the resort. 1. The lack of wrist band enforcement at the pool. People not staying at the resort we coming in from the public beach nextdoor and being rowdy. 2. Pool chair policy if your not up by 8 am don't expect to get a beach chair to sun your self with. The 30 min rule was not enforced at all. By the staff at the resort. 3. Upon arrival at 7pm the 23rd. The parking garage was a pain in the back side. Most people didn't go to driving school. Took almost 20 minutes to park. I am not blaming the resort or the host for this. It's just how parking works here. But expect to spend time parking. 4. Then we had a cooler and several bags to get to the room. No bell hops at the door at the time. And no carts available. I had to put my cooler on my suit case and wheel it to the room. My friend/best man came with us to help with the drive. We had to carry all of our items to the room by hand and foot. Not what anyone wants to do after 11 hours in the car. My advice is bring a beach wagon. And for the resort to buy more bellhop carts. So overall this was the best vacation experience my wife and I have ever had. I give Leanne Jean a 5 out of 5 on this stay. We will be back.

    An amazing room for the money. Spectacular views from the living room and balcony of the beach and Atlantic Ocean. The balcony also overlooks the hotel's outdoor pools and Jacuzzis. One bedroom with two queen-size beds, and a murphy bed in the living room. One bath and a full kitchen with dishwasher. We only spent one night here, so we didn't get a chance to fully explore everything the hotel had to offer, but we did have dinner in the sports bar overlooking the beach. The food was delicious, and the staff was super personable. The room may have been a privately owned condo, because the décor was nicer than you'd expect from a hotel, but the living room area rug needed cleaning. Hallways, elevators and some common areas could use some cleaning and TLC. All told, it was a fantastic deal and a memorable stay!

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!

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!

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.
