The Island Vista 307

Paula, the housekeeper, made sure we had what we needed each day, and the front desk staff were respectful and helpful. Check-in was simple and they explained everything clearly. The property is privately owned apartments run like a hotel, north of downtown in a quieter, more relaxing spot. Our spacious room had an amazing ocean view right in front, along with a full kitchen, bedroom, living room, sofa, chairs, and lots of storage. There are two outdoor pools, a hot tub, and indoor pools for kids, with direct beach access. They don't provide beach sunbeds. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and very good pizza, with fair prices for the quality. Parking is included, and there's public parking in front. We had a trailer and a side-by-side with us. They found space for our car and trailer, but not the side-by-side, so we used public parking for it. The edges of the hot tub were a little dirty and could use attention. Everything else was awesome. I'd recommend it to families or couples, and we'll definitely return.

The Cypress dining restaurant was a standout, with the best food at breakfast and dinner. Our room was clean and very spacious, and the staff were nice every day. We also enjoyed the free movie rentals. Everything about this resort was excellent, and we'll definitely be back.

The pool area and splash pad were a hit with our almost three-year-old, and the easy beach access worked perfectly for her. It's a kid-friendly resort. We were kindly upgraded to a larger room when we arrived, without even asking, and had an amazing view from the balcony. Breakfast delivered from the downstairs restaurant was delicious. The staff were warm and helpful, and we had no problems with the suite. We really enjoyed our visit and will come back!

Our first trip to Myrtle Beach was wonderful, and this place exceeded what we'd expected. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and accommodating for everyone in the family. We especially loved the balcony views. Thanks for making the trip so memorable. We'll definitely return.
