Sea Winds #707 Ocean Front

We love the Windy Hill location in North Myrtle Beach, less than a mile from Barefoot Landing, and Sea Winds is our favorite place to stay here. We've stayed all over. The atmosphere is very quiet, maintenance staff are often on site, and the huge indoor heated pool and hot tub are clean and usually not crowded. Most condos have two or three bedrooms, updated interiors, and large oceanfront balconies. End units will most likely have an extra side balcony too.

The oceanfront condos are a bit older than the mega buildings next door, but they're well kept and much less crowded. We've rented in the bigger buildings before, where the elevators were packed and the pool was always congested. Here, there's a big pool, and we were very happy with the condos, pool, hot tub, and elevators. The units are nice to rent through VRBO.

I liked staying here, but the floor in my room hadn't been cleaned. There was sand everywhere, and my new white Nike socks turned black even when I tried to clean the floor. I've washed them five times and they're still stained. There was dust in the air vents too, a bug in my daughter's bed that really scared her, and the keyboards weren't working at all, so we had to get new ones.

It's right on the water with great views, and a great price for a family. The pool room, though, is like a sauna. The kids wanted to swim while the parents supervising them looked like they were suffocating. Hopefully they can add a window someday to let in fresh air instead of making everyone sit in an oven.
