    I booked through RCI. I have been here before so I knew what to expect. The last time it was Plantation Villas or something to that effect. They changed check in from the front of the building to the back so if you follow gps, turn onto Platt Blvd or you will drive in circles. Easy check in and check out. I called ahead to see if the room was ready. I was able to check in early instead of 4pm. The grounds are taken care of and the resort is clean including the rooms. They fix anything brought to their attention quickly. The outdoor pool is beautiful. Very large and goes to 4.5 feet. There is also a small kids pool and a great hot tub. There is a snack bar at the main pool. Music plays starting from 10am. Pool opens at 7 and closes at 10. I don't think people know because the pool is empty up to 9am. If you want peace and quiet for a little bit, go when they open. Towels are provided for beach and pool. There are events during the week at the pool including a hula and fire show starting at 730pm which runs about an hour. I suggest getting there before 7 and sitting on the side of pool closer to the stage. It's harder to see when people start standing up and blocking the view. There is also a kids pool and play area across from the main pool. There is a lazy river in that area. There is also an indoor pool and game room which I didn't visit. A nice added feature is the beach shuttle. It runs every hour between 9am and 4pm. Return trips are 1015 to 515. It's about a 10 minute ride to the beach. You could drive, it costs $2 per hour for parking at the public beach. I always enjoy my stay here. Would definitely book again.

    I stayed at Grand Palms in October in a 2b/2ba presidential villa with a friend. We really enjoyed our stay! Our villa was clean and tastefully appointed. Having access to a full kitchen was extremely helpful, especially since my friend had recently had surgery and her diet was limited as a result. A trip to Publix set us up for the week. There are shuttle buses that will take you to the beach and Broadway at the Beach (a massive shopping and entertainment center). We took advantage of both. They have programs offered every day, though a lot of them do have a fee. They have state park passes you can borrow for the day (we grabbed one and headed to Huntington Beach State Park, which I loved!), which is a nice bonus. The pool and hot tub were clean and not crowded (though being there in the fall probably had something to do with that). There was some construction going on across from our villa, but it wasn't terribly noisy. All the staff members we encountered were kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend the Grand Palms Resort!

    The worst part is that one of our vehicles was broken into and thousands of dollars worth of belongings were stolen. There was a flurry of unloading supplies, all of us helping, and I'm sure one of the itenerants staying in that area saw a few-second opportunity and grabbed 2 backpacks, both containing expensive laptops, and many personal items. I say "itenerant" because we were housed with construction workers and others who were clearly not on vacation. Our party of 12 (All family, all ages) reserved 2 units. We were given units in a trashy area with construction on all sides, the view was mud and debris. We were not given linens for the sofa beds, called for them and were delivered a set for one unit, but not the other. Had to change one unit as the first did not have the 2 double beds we reserved. The outdoor pool and lazy river area were clean enough, but far from the nice pictures on the website. They advertise a pool grill, but it is just snacks, and closed at 4:00 pm. It was a good half mile from our lodgings, so we either had to hike down a hot sidewalk or load up the vehicle just to take the kids down. There was yellow construction tape hanging from a palm tree next to our door, clearly just taken from across the entrance. A broken lawn chair sat in front of the next unit, a big dumpster was parked in front of our rooms. I would not consider this place if you are looking to relax. We were really quite nervous!!

    We stayed here for 4 nights right before Memorial Day weekend with my husband, our 19-month-old…read moreson, and my sister (who helped with occasional babysitting). We ended up loving it so much that we decided to extend our stay for an extra night. The location was honestly perfect. There was a Walmart nearby, the boardwalk and boardwalk mall were close, and there were plenty of restaurants within a short distance. The beach access was in a great spot, and the entire area felt very clean and safe. The outside pool area was modern, well maintained, and very inviting. The breakfast advertised in the lobby definitely lived up to expectations. Every morning there was a fresh breakfast along with a fun waffle-making station, which we really enjoyed. The staff throughout the hotel were extremely friendly and welcoming. There was also a restaurant on the main floor with a great atmosphere, and the food was very good. There were only two downsides during our stay. The kids' splash pad -- one of the main reasons we booked this hotel -- was unfortunately out of service the entire time due to needing a new pump. We understood that these things happen. The other issue was that the rugs in the room did not seem very clean. We ended up keeping our shoes on in the room, so it wasn't a huge issue for us personally. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely book this hotel again

    The room did its job. We slept, shower, and ate once inside. Had a wonderful view of the beach. The…read morepools and hot tubs were amazing. The pool area in general was great. Lots of seating, fun accommodations for children, and pool towel rentals are also available. Direct access from the pool to the beach. Loved there was a spot to rinse off the sand from beach upon entering the pool area. One of the staff members gave great restaurant recommendations. Now, the bad. You have to pay for parking. It was additional $60 for 2 nights, but through a QRC code, not on your hotel bill. There was an extra $100 (exact) tacked onto my bill after checking in. Nobody told me where this $100 came from. So, I'm now assuming a security deposit? Will it be refunded when I check out? I asked 2 different representatives, and nobody directly told me what it was for. (Edit: it was refunded, but I wished somebody said so) I would have cancelled, but was not in a position to find another hotel. The a/c unit barely worked. We were sweating during the night. The paint on the ceiling above my shower was peeling off. That's in the video I posted. We were on the 4th floor, and had to go to the 3rd for ice. It would have been nice to know that as well. We were given a wristband to wear for use of the amenities, but nobody was wearing them, and nobody was checking for them either. Overall, I won't be staying here again.

    My husband and I booked our stay at Waters Edge, Garden City, SC through Rising Tides Properties…read more(owner Lynn Oliver). It was a last minute trip. Lynn informed us immediately that the "Amenities" (ie, pool, weight room, etc.) were not available due to damage done when "Ian" came through. We booked Unit #505. Check in was quick and seamless. The unit has recently been re-done and was spotlessly clean. The king size bed was very comfortable (and mattress was new). There are 2 bathrooms in this unit. Kitchen is nicely appointed. Full-size washer/dryer. Patio furniture was sturdy and also very comfortable. The Wi-Fi was excellent. Rising Tides Bar (same owner as Rising Tides Realty) IS open on the lower level, which was very convenient. The location is great as far as going one way up to Surfside, or the other to Murrell's Inlet for restaurants (and of course, Garden City as well). We would definitely book through Rising Tides again.

    The guest house/boathouse has a 10 gallon water heater for a two bedroom with a shower. Last about…read more7 to 8 minutes max and then takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes to reheat because it is on 110 V plug. AC is a listed amenity, but the boathouse ac does not cool. The so called two parking spaces listed will fit a very compact car. It will not fit a full-size vehicle such as a jeep or F-150 pick up truck, which we have. We tried to make it work, but a neighbor complained that we were hanging out in the road. When you back all the way in, the access to the path to get to the main house is in accessible, as well as the barn doors to the boathouse being completely blocked and unable to open. When you try to speak to them and explain the situation, they gaslight you and talk in circles. We brought our family from Utah for this trip, discussed when everyone would be arriving and that our adult sons with their finances would all be here over Labor Day weekend. If you have a family and are looking to stay somewhere on the island of Gloucester, I would look elsewhere. We agreed on a price and sent them a cashiers check via certified mail (months in advance). My guess was so they could avoid the fees. It was returned that the business address they provided was not a valid address. Upon the package being returned to UTAH, we paid for a second certified delivery to the home address of the property manager. Upon our arrival a family member was kind enough to loan us their boat for our extended stay, at that time they contacted us saying we would need to pay nearly $2000 additional in added fees for using the boat dock, it says on Airbnb and their website that the dock is not included, but does not specify a separate price. The sign on site simply says use at your own risk. There was no mention of an extra price when the total price was discussed and agreed on. Even though I disagreed with the additional fees, we agreed to a reduced rate to avoid conflict. They proceeded to up-charged us another couple hundred dollars above that agreed rate as well. If it were one mishap, you'd let it slide, but something almost daily since we arrived doesn't seem like a hiccup. Lastly, the roof has been leaking since we got here. We told the PM and of the roof leaking in the bedroom in the main house and they said they were aware and plan to have it repaired. When you try to talk to Ryan he is condescending & continually repeats himself as if you cannot comprehend what he has said. It has not exactly been the seaside R&R we planned.

For the price point that this is at this is completely unacceptable. Some amenities are either closed for repair or non functional.

Lines are incredibly long for the check in process with up to a 2 hour wait. There is no hotel lobby, the front desk is located across the street. Our room was disgusting. We had a layer of dust on the pull out couch and the Murphy bed was filthy. The bathroom was super small with a barely functioning light. The desk chair was ripped and we had to slam the door to shut it.. Everything is very dated and used. We did not use the pool because we immediately checked out of the hotel but it was super crowded. The one positive was Jayanna at the front desk. She was super pleasant and helpful. Save your money and book elsewhere.
