Please do not send anyone here ever again, especially families with young children! The property was so dirty i was scared to let my daughter crawl on the floor which was sticky and stained. There were roaches everywhere even after someone came to spray. My first stop post trip will be to a laundromat in the hopes that i don't bring any roaches home!

The Condo was infested with gnats, the carpet in all the rooms is old and dirty, you don’t want to stand barefoot on it. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary utensils. There’s nothing to do in North Myrtle beach there’s no activity. South Myrtle is where you have entertainment for all ages. The Condo is good if you only want to visit the beach to lay on the sand.

RUN from this property!!! It was not even the room I originally booked through Expedia - the room was dirty, front door was hard to close and open due to numerous rivets put in door, carpet old and nasty, furniture looked like it was picked up off the side of the road, parts of the ceiling were peeling off and ROACHES - killed at least 7, found dead baby roaches & feces in the cabinet under the sink and in the refrigerator. The lazy river was not working and the hot tubs were green and shut down. I WILL NEVER RENT FROM BAHAMA SANDS AGAIN. My elderly Mother was scared to even sleep because of the bugs - we could not stay anywhere else because it took all we had to stay in this "Luxury" resort and even though I called Vacasa as soon as we arrived on Thursday - they still have not called me back. Worst trip we have ever taken - it will not happen again.

Overall, the property was satisfactory. The condo was clean but we walked in to fruit flies from the last renter. The carpet and furniture were full of stains. The biggest disappointment was the pool area. The lazy river was not running. There were two hot tubs that were cold one day and hot the next. The one night we tried to use one of the tubs because the other was full and it was filthy and full of floating scum. The lower pool was not heated. If I had small children that would have used the "amenities" I would have been very disappointed in our stay. Will not likely stay at this condo again.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this property and would definitely consider staying here again in the future. The property is a bit dated but that didn't take away from our enjoyment of the property at all. I would consider it a 3.5 star type of place. It was mainly a place to sleep, shower and hang out a bit at night. For the price, I would definitely recommend other people to stay here.

The property was very well laid out and decorated. Everything was comfortable except the master king bed. The mattress was way too soft or very worn. The tv cable situation was a little difficult and that’s only important because it was FREEZING outside. LOVE THE UNDER BUILDING PARKING! No need to have to walk across the street to park. We will definitely stay here again!

The 2 bedroom layout is great, both bedrooms have an ocean view with balcony and nobody is stuck in a bedroom by the front door with a window to the hallway. The condo was exceptionally clean, as was everywhere in the complex. The kitchen was not adequately stocked for longer stays or more than four people (there were only 4 smallish coffee mugs). There were two large plates. The other eight plates were not adult size. The baking wear and utensils would not be adequate for very much cooking or cooking for a crowd. The bathrooms are a good size. However, the whirlpool tubs are very deep and need a hand grip or something to help getting in and out. Overall, this is a nice condo. No complaints other than the kitchen supplies and tub safety. It is a very nice complex with door codes for outside entry from the parking garage and sidewalk. This was a December stay and no crowds, a safe place and nice condo made for a very pleasant stay.

We booked our stay months prior to our vacation but found out the day before our visit that they had no reservation for us. We were forced to book a last minute hotel costing us more and the hotel was awful. Our vacation was ruined because a mistake was made!

Maintenance worked on correcting the oven issue but had to order a part, that was ok. They fixed the refrigerator. They didn’t correct the nasty floor and there was no mop in the condo or I would have mopped it myself. Your feet literally was black by the time you walked from room to room.

This place was great stay overall even though I didn’t not get the correct door code in the email which I did call the office and they were helpful in getting me the correct one. I wish the check in time was earlier like 1pm or 2pm instead of 4pm and the checkout times would be spaced 10am and 11am to ease up on the wait going into crowded elevators. Overall, I really love and enjoyed the space and I would go back to this place again.

The property was wonderful. It was very clean and cozy. my only complaints was that our "oceanview" was from the side of the hotel, not a direct view. The day of checkout at 8:30 (check out is at 10), someone banged very loudly on the door and entered without waiting for acknowledgement. Otherwise our stay was great and I would go back.

Check seriously frustrating So so clean interior
I'm blaming the app for my poor review. The place was advertised as a hotel. No one at check in or a reception desk. Had to spend 45 minutes with an off site service getting pass codes to enter the building and room which included downloading an app to "docusign". Too time consuming and frustrating. Room was so so clean. In the Covid era I should have gone with a chain that wipes down doorknobs, etc. Door to room had clearly been broken into at some point and not repaired properly. My pic says it all...

The location was great and easy to find. The room size was wonderful - very spacious - and the decor was attractive. For a two bedroom condo it was huge. Nice, solid, comfortable and practical furnishings - 1 item (sofa) showed a little wear. Great ottomans & TVs. The beds slept great and good darkening curtains. Each bathroom had a Jacuzzi - very nice!!! - and were spacious. Kitchen was nice (great cabinets and counters & appliances) but the silverware and pots were lacking - 6 forks total, no large frying pan. The view was amazing and 2 great balconies. Outdoor pool, lazy river, kiddie pool and hot tub are nice. They were the only ones open due to covid. A little chilly though. We partially chose this site for the indoor pool which we were not informed was closed until we arrived. That was disappointing but we struck it up to covid and are willing to look past it. Heads UP: The site emails your building code, room code and location of the office the day of your check in. That being said, when you arrive at the site there are no signs that say that, nor where the office is . The Office is in a building across the street with a different name. Confusing, especially if you don't check emails while driving?!?!?!
