I arrived on Saturday to find the parking garage a block away behind one of the seediest motels I've ever seen. The unit was dirty. There was hair all over master bath floor and in drawers; stains and hair on bedspreads; old soap stuck to wall in master bath. 2nd bath had toilet paper on wall, toilet bowl looked dirty, and a washcloth that looked like it had been used as toilet paper was left under the sink. The linens on the beds did not fit and some had dirt in the beds. The shower curtains were liners only and they had mildew all over them. The utensil sorter was dirty as was the kitchen trash can. Barely had potholders and no dishrag to wash dishes in this "fully equipped" kitchen. The sofa was dirty and stained. The vacuum cleaner had little to no power, the kitchen faucet handle was broken, and the lower dishwasher rack was missing two wheels so it would not roll out properly. The garage and building key was a magnetic swipe that had to be re-magnetized several times over the week, no matter how careful we were to keep them away from phones and other credit cards. The internet hardly ever worked, or when there was a connection I would receive an error message telling me "too many users were logged on - try again later". The bath towels were awful, small and very rough and one of them that was freshly washed, folded and put away had a hole the size of my hand. The beds were very uncomfortable, they had no support and they seemed as if they were going to collapse at any moment. The main balcony was smaller than expected and the other two overlooked a public beach access parking lot. The indoor pool and lazy river were full of sand, and the kids used the lazy river as a place to play tag or chase each other making it difficult for those floating in tubes to enjoy. The person on-call Saturday evening came and "fixed" some of these items, but it took about an hour longer than he said and we had to wait there. A call to the office on Sunday elicited more repairs and "some" cleaning. My call to management on Monday was NEVER returned. The property management company, Condolux of Myrtle Beach, claims to only rent the most luxurious condos but there was absolutely nothing luxurious about this condo unit. I would not recommend this complex and especially this unit to anyone.

The new boardwalk is very nice and the beach access was very close.

The condo was very nice, could have been much cleaner. Plenty of room, although there were no keys for the lockoff and had to be careful not to close the door if no one was in it. The location was exceptional, very short walk onto the beach. The front of the condo's is quite crazy when people are checking in and out, but parking garage was very nice. All in all we would go again.

Recommended for: families with young children, families with teenagers, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway
