And had also requested early check in weeks before. When arrived cleaning person still there - however, this property was old and filthy. The furniture , couches stained and gross. Hair, dirt, food under cushions. used qtips and toothpicks on floor, couches and tables. Bathrooms falling apart - towel rack repeatedly fell off the wall. Kitchen table chipped and rotting. Kitchen dirty- refrigerator not working well, wouldn’t get cold. Had to get a cooler and ice for food/drinks . Photos on listing don’t represent the state of disrepair of this place. The pond filled with trash. Contacted owner, who responded, and said “the team would reach out” but no one contacted us. Made the best of it as we had no choice or go anywhere else. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2248565e-3ddc-4fef-a22d-860bc60faf00-1758742520521.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cea71ee9-3a8d-4cda-9d0b-1a424a51b217-1758742523884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/759c5837-15aa-4eb5-bf38-5549e83541d0-1758742513134.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6e32cb11-d09f-4c6f-9a0c-488512860f34-1758742514132.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Coral Beach Resort and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Beach-Resort-Hotel-Suites.h37007.Hotel-Information) > > [Scandinavian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sister-Bay-Hotels-Scandinavian-Lodge.h16603450.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Creek Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Ocean-Creek-Resort.h1695497.Hotel-Information) > > [North Shore Oceanfront Resort Hotel with Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-North-Shore-Oceanfront-Resort-Hotel.h172438.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikoloa-Hotels-Ocean-Tower-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h28763131.Hotel-Information) > > [J House Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stamford-Hotels-J-House-Greenwich.h8392.Hotel-Information) > > [Spacious 4BR, 3BA Pawleys Island vacation home, just minutes from pristine beaches and top golf courses like Caledonia and True Blue.
