    We love Island Vista this is my 5th time staying and it is always great. We booked the 2br grand suite and got the 3br grand suite!! The view from room 1010 was great. The restaurant and pools downstairs are also great!! If you are looking to stay in Myrtle Beach and don't mind not being around a whole lot, than I recomerecomednd Island Vista !

    What an amazing experience! The staff are so kind and willing to help AT WVERY TURN! Parking is a challenge but staff graciously found a handicap space after our night out. The Indoor pool area is perfect for children! The our door area is so welcoming even in the evening. The beds , even the Murphy bed, were comfortable! We will definitely be back.

    I had an amazing time at the resort. The staff were friendly. Especially, the pool maintenance man he has such a beautiful spirit. The rooms were above and beyond my expectations. Wonderful balcony views. Only thing I didn't like was the steps in the hot tub. They are weirdly big but you can't judge the step as it is in water so I end up scrapping the back of my heal. Also, seeing they have two pools I wish one was for people 5ft up. I will absolutely travel back to this place.

    PROS....Room was clean and smelled great! I was pleased that there was an ice maker in the freezer. There was a washer and dryer which was great to have . Suite was spacious and some of our furniture looked updated. Water pressure was decent and resort employees were nice! Pools were nice. Grounds are kept very well and pretty. Nice secluded beach not too crowded. Excellent oceanfront views. Resort is fairly close to everything! Nice live music in the restaurant and out by the pool. Upon check in they give you a gift card to use in the resort restaurant ( amount depends on length of stay) That was a nice touch. CONS....beds were extremely uncomfortable and wayyy too soft. We were physically broken every morning and just couldn't get proper rest due to the bed. So that was a HUGE bummer as you go on vacation for rest. Arrived on a Sunday and spend all day out, got back to room exhausted around 11 pm. and went to bed only to find that the sheets had not been changed and there were food crumbs in the bed from previous guest but the comforter was pulled up neatly over frazzled sheets to give appearance of a freshly made bed. I called the desk to report it and request clean sheets and such and they sent some up. I'm the guest so I didn't feel like I should have had to make a bed that should have already been clean and made before I arrived. That was the last thing I wanted to do at 11pm. after a full exhausting day of flights and road travel etc.. The washer/ dryer set in my room was so compacted in the closet it was in that I had to fight with the closet door and the dryer door so that I could open the dryer every time I used it. The parking garage is a horrible accident waiting to happen as everyone doesn't drive like there's other ppl driving on the road. I also found it odd that there were no paper towels in the kitchen! I've never stayed at a resort with a kitchen and no paper towels so make sure u bring some . The food in the cypress room was average. For the price I expected more. If you want great food leave the resort and find some local spots. SC has great food! $50 A DAY to rent two old worn out beach chairs and an umbrella is crazy to me. Bring your own or buy some at one of the stores there so u can pay once and use them alllll day EVERY DAY!! ( not the resorts fault tho. These chairs are owned and rented out privately by myrtle beach.) Overall I'd probably book again simply because of the location( it's literally an island and away from the crowd) and the cleanliness of the room will always get a thumbs up from me.

    We loved our stay at Island Vista!! Check-in was a breeze. Condo was spacious and clean. Loved the amenities. Parking garage was interesting, but we always found a spot with no problem. On site restaurant was good.

    This is one of the best hotels I have ever been to!!! I definitely recommend. My family and I came in late February and it was the perfect time to go! The pools and hot tubs were empty and so nice to relax in. There is a food place downstairs and their food was very good. They are open for breakfast as well which was excellent!

    All around five stars. This resort is highly staffed, with seasoned professionals. It is clean, the food is delicious, the service is excellent. The pool area is always maintained and calm and peaceful with easy access to the beach. Definitely coming back here.

    Marc at the front desk was so helpful! He went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful!! Hands down we will come back to Island Vista because of his amazing customer service. Also, thank you to house keeping, a thousand well dones helping locate our left behind items. We loved hearing the music of the ocean and watching the rhythm of the waves from the balcony. The location to the pool and ocean was perfect. Thanks again!

    Jason S.

    Absolutely the best on the beach. Awesome staff, amenities, and location! The grounds are excellent! We've stayed in NMB at Southshore Villas for years, but not anymore. This is our new October destination! We highly recommend Island Vista! Keep up the fantastic work!

    The outdoor and indoor pools were wonderful and the hot tub, although busy, was a nice treat.

    We stayed here for 4 nights right before Memorial Day weekend with my husband, our 19-month-old…read moreson, and my sister (who helped with occasional babysitting). We ended up loving it so much that we decided to extend our stay for an extra night. The location was honestly perfect. There was a Walmart nearby, the boardwalk and boardwalk mall were close, and there were plenty of restaurants within a short distance. The beach access was in a great spot, and the entire area felt very clean and safe. The outside pool area was modern, well maintained, and very inviting. The breakfast advertised in the lobby definitely lived up to expectations. Every morning there was a fresh breakfast along with a fun waffle-making station, which we really enjoyed. The staff throughout the hotel were extremely friendly and welcoming. There was also a restaurant on the main floor with a great atmosphere, and the food was very good. There were only two downsides during our stay. The kids' splash pad -- one of the main reasons we booked this hotel -- was unfortunately out of service the entire time due to needing a new pump. We understood that these things happen. The other issue was that the rugs in the room did not seem very clean. We ended up keeping our shoes on in the room, so it wasn't a huge issue for us personally. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely book this hotel again

    I recently stayed at this hotel for a quick beach trip, and overall I had a positive experience…read moreespecially with the staff. Check-in at the front desk with Sue was smooth and welcoming. The hotel staff were friendly and professional throughout my stay. There was also a gentleman working during breakfast on Sunday morning (I didn't catch his name) who was especially helpful and attentive. He had on a red shirt and long hair. Service like that truly makes a difference. That said, there were a couple of downsides. My oceanfront room had a noticeable wet dog smell, which was disappointing. Also, the $25 per night parking fee feels excessive. I've chosen to stay at this property for quick beach trips over the last 10 years, and unfortunately, the parking situation alone will likely keep me from returning. I also want to note that the hotel is currently under renovations (it is the off-season), so that's something to keep in mind when booking. While I'm not disappointed in the staff at all they were amazing the added costs and room issue were enough to make me reconsider staying here again.

    Fantastic stay at the Courtyard Myrtle Beach Oceanfront! I have stayed at many Courtyards before -…read morethey're solid for business stays but usually nothing special. 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!

    Perfect spot for an overnight stay while in town for a sporting event (track and field)…read more We typically stay in North Myrtle so this was a change for us, staying so close to so much "action". 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!

    We had a pretty good stay here. The room was clean and spacious. The kids loved the indoor water…read morepark and it was nice to have that option to get out of the rain. The pool bar and restaurant were not open on June 1 or June 2 during our stay which I found odd. I thought most things would be open after memorial day. Housekeeping is only ever other day. I know that's routine since post covid days but when you have four people staying at a beach front property it's not enough. There are not enough places to hang wet towels wet bathing suits, beach gear...everything gets messy fast. There is no exhaust fan in the bathroom and everything just stayed wet. We asked for housekeeping after our second night and they didn't come until a second request. It would have been nice to have clean towels on our third shower of the week. We only had semi wet ones. We ran out of toilet paper twice. We only had half a roll when we got there and they don't leave extra. Valet parking is $25 a night, but that seems typical for the beach. You can request your car via app and it's pretty simple. The location was right on the beach and boardwalk so plenty to do. The kids had a great time. Also be sure to log out of your accounts on the TV. We had all different peoples Netflix, Apple TV, and peacock accounts still signed in. Doesn't look like it automatically signs you out on check out.

    I stayed here for the weekend. Although a nice hotel, it wasn't for me. I did love our oceanfront…read moresuite. Very clean and spacious. But a few things I wasn't a fan of. Im not a fan that parking is $25/day. The parking garage is maybe a block or two away from the hotel. Valet service around check out time is hectic. Staff were super friendly and helpful. There's a restaurant in the lobby area which is convenient for guests. However, the food was pretty overpriced and just average. Points for the oceanfront views. The pool area has a bar as well which is nice. Their pool also has like a Waterpark. There's a big waterslide and sprinklers and such for the kids to enjoy. My son loved the lazy river. But the best part is that it's less than 15 minutes away from the fun attractions at Broadway at the Beach! For the price, I've stayed in nicer. It wasn't bad just wasn't for me.
