Great location. I brought my 3 young children down and the multiple pools, hot tubs and easy access to the beach were so convenient to keep them busy. It’s also a nice walk or quick drive to Barefoot Landing, mini golf and restaurants.

Beautiful View, Very Clean

We had a great getaway in this unit- it was comfortable and had a beautiful view of the ocean and the sunrise with very easy access to Barefoot Landing. While it was very dated, it was still clean with comfortable beds. Our biggest issue was that we had very noisy neighbors staying right next door and we could hear them speaking loudly and sometimes yelling late into the night which we understood was not the fault of the property management company. We had very good communication from the property management company as well.

Just what we needed

This was the basic provision. It has a small kitchenette and a bedroom. 2 rolls of tp for guests. No frills. The location is great and the beach is beautiful. The umbrella chairs on the beach are a separate daily payment ( not part of the hotel) and the gym is not for use when you book through agencies outside of the hotel such as this.

Beach Cove visit

Thought the amount of info in the contract was just too much. Signed deal and more "don't do's" kept coming. Unit had some wear and tear. Didn't use pool area but it looked very nice. Parking deck was easy to use. Common area like elevators were muggy and a little trashy. With open walls between bedroom and den, it was loud for those that went to sleep earlier than others. In talking with other customers, we felt that the resort had slipped some in the upkeep. 16 floors up is probably not our sweet spot. Will probably move back to Ocean Creek on next visit.

Nightmare Big Fish Rental/Beach Cove scam

Horrific, bug infested, rundown grungy, dirty, cigarette,beer, and mildew, stale smell embedded in the entire, room. The stove was not just cracked but it was defected, The property owners only wanted to come spray and exterminate upon first day after i reported; which all these things should have been handled prior to my arrival. also the carpet was so worn, shredding, filthy, nasty, and it turned your feet black if you attempted to walk on it. I retrieved my things immediately the next morning reached out to Big Fish rentals to move me to one of there other properties or a refund!!! Pauline " was very apologetic and assured she would resolve this issue immediately. Instead Big Fish rentals was very unorganized and unprofessional. They left me hanging with " No" contact for 5 days, and I had to contact Vrbo, and my bank for a refund. I uploaded all the grossed pics of the filty stained pillows that appeared to have old dried nasty booger stains.. the pillows wreaked of sweat and dirt. Never use Big Fish Rentals.. they will leave you in the pond with no place to stay. This was a disturbing, distasteful, and down right disgraceful holiday experience.. !!! I had to find my own accommodations which costed me double for another reservation. For all those staying in myrtle beach "Beware" of Beach Cove room 1617 called the " penthouse" this was more like a "Trap house". If you want to check in 30 min early it was also an additional $50 bucks. Lady Morgan

Terrible.

pools and chairs around pool all in the sun. ZERO shade to cool off in pool or next to pool. A/C didn’t work in our condo when we checked in at 4 and it was 76 in there. It would not cool off. maintenance came. We left to go somewhere that had air conditioning for dinner we never got any follow up text or call from customer service so we assumed they got it fixed. we get back that night around 10 and it’s still just as hot. We complain again and say why is it not fixed and why was there no follow up? We ask for fans. we get fans at midnight. we continue complaining the next morning and asking for a refund or different condo because it was already 75 again at 9:15. They tried to say that the air was working just fine only because the temperature of the air blowing directly out of the unit was correct and they tried to pretend that the thermostat saying it’s that hot in the air and us all sitting there burning up everywhere we go was not accurate Explanation of whether the air was actually working. it took them until at least 1 o’clock to get a replacement condo for us that was almost half an hour away. We had to just sit in our room all morning in front of the fans with our bags packed waiting for the call that this other room was ready so that we could leave immediately when it was ready. Get to the new condo and it is much larger and better and the air works great but it was absolutely filthy. Every single countertop or surface top and the kitchen sink were nasty.

Oceanfront Penthouse

This top floor unit is small, simple and adequate. I spent most of my time in the room and on the balcony due to an injury just prior to our stay so I think I had more time to notice petty things that I would normally have missed. Nevertheless, it was clean enough and met our needs. Julie was helpful and just a message away. I’d rent it again. Love the location.

Nice place

Overall a good property in a good location. The facilities are under construction and literally had workers on scaffolding and on our balcony with no warning. I think the word penthouse as a description is very misleading. It is just another room on the top floor. I feel that penthouse has an expectation of something more that this wasn't. Overall good but not outstanding.

Overall, very good! Compared to various past vrbos & BnB- this one was sparsely supplied ( no coffee, only salt and pepper, and frying pans were in bad shape( we bought one). One other suggestion would be to clean the balcony chairs ( very grimy) . We gave a stab at it, but really needed a deep ckean!
