Pleasantly surprised
Pros:

First time here, we stayed in the Presidential suites area. Everything was fantastic. Check-in was quick and easy. We were asked if we wanted to attend a 90 minute meeting and we said no, nothing else was mentioned, no pressure at all. The grounds are immaculate and the condo clean and spacious. Nice pools both indoor and outdoors with separate children areas to play also. Having a free shuttle from condo to the beach was great as parking is very limited. Surfside beach is an autism awareness area so no beach bars or rowdiness. Gorgeous and clean beach!!
Day passes are given for free entrance to Myrtle Beach state park and Huntington Beach state park.
We wanted to stay another week and already saying “when we go back next year”!
Definitely a WIN!

Pros:

Although this property is not on the beach, it was not far from it and had alot for kid/family things to do on site. There are good dining options all around. The staff was friendly. We had a two bedroom condo. It was very clean. We were missing two remotes, but maintenance brought them. I will stay again.

Pros:

The property was okay. It was good. Some of the areas were very dated. Our room was probably 30 years old? We had a leak issue from the air conditioner above us one evening dripping through the ceiling it was addressed fairly quickly. All in all it was a good stay. Would we stay there again it would depend on our other options. The staff was very nice. It was very centrally located and quick to our destination..

Pros:

Didn't know it was pet friendly. Not sure if it was for 29 condo. Nice exercise with pools and sidewalks. Nice location for restaurants. Friendly people but I was overwhelmed checking in after a 4.5 hour drive and Wyndham resort was asking for my credit card for a 60.00 hold credit card fee for a show up for a high pressure sales to buy a plan for travelling for the next 10 years. Seemed it was expected if you were staying at their resort. Stressful to me when I was only there for a short time and was just trying to relax. The presentation was more than 90 minutes. I think it was about 2.5 hours. Overall it was a nice time and I am thankful anytime I have a vacation.

Pros:

Overall the property is fine. Location is good, and the staff was friendly and condo was clean. We were disappointed that the condo did not match the picture of what we reserved. What we got was a condo that was not at all updated. The beds were not comfortable and the linens were scratchy. The living room furniture looked to be at least 15 years old. Not what was pictured. This is a two bedroom loft that was actually on the second floor, so you enter from the parking lot and have a long flight of narrow stairs to the mainfloor of the condo, then another flight to the bedroom. The lott is open to the mainfloor but it is the upstairs bedroom, so you hear everything from the mainfloor like you are sitting with them. Not private from that respect. You can't see what's going on but you hear everything from conversation to television.
Would not rent this again. Might rent at the resort, but not this type of condo.
