    The in-door out-door pool ( I promise there is an inside part to swim to!)
    Anna K.

    My family and I are staying here and so far everything has been amazing! There are many pools one of which is in side and out side! The beach can be seen from our room and there is direct access to the beach. There is a beach volleyball court and swing set. There is also many tennis courts, a fitness center, and beautiful places to walk! This is a great place close to great places like barefoot landing.

    Friday, August 25 - Wednesday, August 30 Day 1 Friday - We arrived by 5 pm. It took 2 hours to find a room and here's why - The first 2 rooms they gave us had bed bugs infestation, we took pictures, the assistant manager Casey offered us a Tower room but it wouldn't have been ready until Saturday after 4 pm and we were afraid that there would bed bugs in that room too. Because it was Friday, other hotels were already booked up or twice the price so we were stuck. Casey offered a two story townhome with a screened in porch. It had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it looked nice, we checked there were no bed bugs. Good right... WRONG. We started unpacking, showered and realized 2 of the 3 toilets were backing up and huge water bugs started coming from under the furniture. We called the front desk, they sent maintenance who sprayed for the bugs and snaked/plunged the toilets. Day 2 Saturday, the toilets were not flushing again even though the maintenance staff snaked and plunged the day before. Maintenance came back again, plunged and they replaced the toilet flush and flaps. Day 3 Sunday, we realized the upstairs bathroom had the hand towel bar ripped off the wall and the replacement was in the bathroom cabinet,the safe was broken and held together with duct tape, the furniture had missing parts and it was old maintenance came in again and replaced the safe door and snaked the toilets again. I went and spoke to the assistant manager Casey about the condition of the townhouse including the water bug issue, which by the way I never experienced before at any hotel at Myrtle Beach. She offered us a discount on our reservation and refunded us 1 day rental. Day 4 Monday one of the toilets backed up again, a new maintenance staff member completely changed out the toilet interior and waited to see if it flushed, after 2 times it clogged for no reason and he was right there to see and he found the actual issue and fixed it. That bathroom was above the kitchen, we noticed that there was a cracked ceiling paint from a leak in the kitchen ceiling. We notified the front desk. Day 5 Tuesday we tried to have a crab boil but the stove never got hot enough for a rolling boil the water it just simmered. It took 3 hours to make dinner Day 6 Wednesday we are packing up to leave because Hurricane Idalia started earlier than expected. It was pouring rain. My sisters' car battery needed a jump, the cables we had were not working so we called to see if maintenance could help, they said they would ask maintenance if they could help. An hour later we called again and the front desk said they don't never offered a service to jump people but we had to be checked out by 12. It was pouring rain because of the hurricane so I went to Walmart praying it wasn't closed yet to get new jumper cables, they closed after I left because of a State of Emergency. When we checked out we let the person at the front desk know we wanted to speak with the manager due to having backed up toilets and water bugs issue throughout our stay and we would be back after the hurricane to request a refund. The next evening we went back and requested a refund from Casey, the assistant manager, that's when she said, " I can't give you a refund because a real estate sales agent went to the unit and it smelled like marijuana. We did not smoke in that house especially NOT marijuana. REALLY!!!! They had a maintenance staff person in our room 4 out of 5 days we stayed, at various times. But they never complained about smelling anything, now all of a sudden a real estate sales agent was at the townhouse in a hurricane said it smelled. I want a real estate agent that dedicated. I mean it was a state of emergency, but that agent was working through it, now that's dedication or just a lie. You decide. We waited and stayed at the townhouse for maintenance every day except Wednesday when we checked out. I will never stay at this bed bug infested resort.

    My family has been coming here on and off for well over 20 years... and we had gotten our bike group to come stay here as well over the years...that ends with this trip. They have begun charging $10 a day for parking per vehicle so that cost us $100 for 2 motorcycles, motorcycles aren't allowed on property which ok, I get it... but they don't even have them in a secured lot anymore they used to have a guard watch them and you had to show a matching wristband to get to the bikes but that doesn't happen anymore... and the lot is sand and pine needles... to make things worse.... Our unit had bed bugs!!! It took them almost 3 hours to come look at the unit, which caused us to miss our plans for the day... then we couldn't go into the room or have access to any of our belongings because they had to treat everything and move us...$50 for medicine to take care of the rash/bites all over us and then we had to spend our relaxation time to do laundry to wash all the chemicals off our clothes.... For all of the hassle we got 1 night reimbursed... that's it... there was 0 urgency from the front desk or management. We will NEVER come back.

    The two stars are for the ocean view. That is the only thing we enjoyed at this "resort". The entire unit was extremely filthy. We needed to wear shoes at all times. The bathroom shower was disgusting and the wallpaper is ripped and peeling throughout. There was a large burn on the kitchen countertop. It smelled very musty - like it hadn't been cleaned in months. The whole place is so dated. The owners should either spend money updated and cleaning this place or stop charging the amounts they do.

    We love it here!

    Based on previous reviews, you would expect this resort to be sub-par, but it really is a hidden gem! The resort offers plenty of sandy beach space, so even during high tide, there is room to spread out. There are 7 pools, tennis courts, a putting green, a conference center, an oceanfront pool, a playground, sand volleyball, an oceanfront bar/grill, a "lounge", a small gym, and a dining hall that offers an incredible breakfast. It is also gated, which offers a level of security you don't get in most Myrtle Beach properties. Ocean Creek does manage some of the rentals but not all of them. You can find more units at booking.com or vrbo.com. All of the units are individually owned, which is probably the root cause of many of the negative reviews. Yes, some of the units are dated, so you might want to do a little bit of investigating and choose a unit that has been updated to your personal taste. I personally don't mind some older features... as long as they are functional. I have yet to see any signs of bug infestations, and there are signs posted to let renters know when to expect the exterminator, so I find it hard to believe any of the reviews that make that claim. That being said, the resort is in South Carolina, so you are going to get an occasional Palmetto bug sighting. It's as unavoidable as getting sand in your shoes! We love that the resort offers oceanfront units, as well as units that tucked back in the trees. We love the walkways and the incredible ocean views! Overall, I think Ocean Creek is a gorgeous property in an incredibly convenient location with very reasonable prices.

    Cabinet door ripped right off
    Jami A.

    Checked in on 7/31. Check in process was brutally long even tho I "pre registered" online. Walk into our room, immediately saw that the bathroom cabinet door was completely ripped off & resting on the vanity top. The bathroom outlets did not work. The tile in kitchen was warped from the dishwasher leaking. We have 5 people staying & only 3 chairs at the dining table and one of which was broken. You needed to use all your weight to open the sliding doors. The unit overall was very dated, dusty and dirty. Outdoor patio furniture was rusted. Then to top it off, we had roaches in our room.. not palmetto bugs.... ROACHES. We went to front desk to request a new room..... after quite a while we were told that there were no other rooms to move us to but I was able to log onto their website to book a room directly myself.... Told them that, then all of a sudden... Viola! A room was found! We then moved rooms. New room's air conditioner sounded like a helicopter & kept us awake all night. It took them 2 days to fix it. Windows were so dirty and foggy (seal failures) that we couldn't even see out of them. And Lo' & behold.... MORE ROACHES. THEN interrupted in our room for roach control to spray while we were eating lunch! Trying to relax at the pool was difficult as well.... Two different pools on separate days were being worked on while people were still IN the pool. Sawing, grinding... dust flying everywhere. Concrete & chunks of block were falling into the pool. Families had their babies in the kiddie pool with silica dust flying everywhere.... Had to move because of it. Steps to condo unit were not built to code... definitely a violation. We made several calls to General Manager, but she refused to contact us back. Went in person to speak with her at the front desk & she refused to come out to talk with us. Explained to them at front desk all of our troubles. She did not care at all. Received an email back from the General Manager, Tess, due to the survey I filled out and she claimed she was not on the property during our stay and therefore couldn't speak with us. However, not only did we SEE her but her employees also said she was "busy" in her office and would not come out to the front desk to speak with us. Cowardice. This resort needs an overhaul beginning with management.

    Sand swept behind the bedroom door of our room.

    Joe and I stayed here during our recent trip to Myrtle Beach. I think he booked the room on the app Hotels Tonight, so we got it for a pretty good price. Overall, the room was not as clean as a hotel room should be. I first noticed that there was an inordinate amount of sand in the bedroom. I can understand some sand, I mean it is the beach and sand is very difficult to get up. But there was a lot of sand! Later I noticed that there was a pile of sand swept behind the bedroom door. Joe and I ended up putting towels down around the bed so we wouldn't get sand in the bed. In the morning, I realized that there was no coffee. In the coffee cups where hotels generally put the coffee filters, there was dish detergent. When I called the front desk, they told me I could come get some, or wait until housekeeping could bring me some (40 minutes later). Generally, the room was not as clean as it should be. But, it was a very large room, and it was very quite. I also like the beachside bar this hotel has on the property.

    The Property Management sign should've been an indicator but wasn't seen until leaving the next day.

Being that it's December, rooms are easy to find at Myrtle Beach so we waited until we got there. I found this hotel on my Hilton app and tried to book it while I was in their driveway. It wouldn't work for some reason so I went inside and talked with Angie at the front desk. Fabulous lady and super nice. She completely squared us up. She gave me the price on the app and even upgraded us for our birthday. We had a wonderful suite on the 12th floor with a spectacular view of the beach and a small deck to enjoy the view. The room featured two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. The bed was what you'd expect from a Hampton Inn; comfortable with plenty of pillows. There was a good restaurant / bar in the hotel and a couple of outdoor pools. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

The hotel staff were friendly and professional throughout my stay. There was also a gentleman working during breakfast on Sunday morning (I didn't catch his name) who was especially helpful and attentive. He had on a red shirt and long hair. Service like that truly makes a difference. That said, there were a couple of downsides. My oceanfront room had a noticeable wet dog smell, which was disappointing. Also, the $25 per night parking fee feels excessive. I've chosen to stay at this property for quick beach trips over the last 10 years, and unfortunately, the parking situation alone will likely keep me from returning. I also want to note that the hotel is currently under renovations (it is the off-season), so that's something to keep in mind when booking. While I'm not disappointed in the staff at all they were amazing the added costs and room issue were enough to make me reconsider staying here again.

Since it was definitely post-season, we appreciated having fewer people around, making for a more relaxing stay. The weather was nice, although the water was a bit cold, but the view from the ocean-view villas was spectacular and truly beautiful. One thing I really liked was the on-site kitchen! It's a huge money-saver, especially for families. Even making one meal a day at home helps offset travel costs, and it was convenient to have that option. The hot tubs were a lifesaver since it was so cold outside, and they offered fun classes like s'mores for kids and aqua exercise classes, which added some extra entertainment. The gym was well-equipped, and the service overall was great. However, on our last day, the housekeeper knocked and entered immediately without giving us a moment to respond, that felt a bit unprofessional. Despite that, I still found the place and the area on that side of Myrtle Beach to be wonderful. If you're planning a trip, I'd definitely recommend visiting off-season for the best prices and a more peaceful experience!

Initially I thought the bed position was weird but I quickly appreciated waking up to views of the beach and ocean. Everything was clean and well appointed in our king room. My only complaint is that the towels were pretty bad and extremely thin, more so than any other hotel I've visited. We went to the bar on the second floor to people watch. It's a cute spot and has access to outdoor seating with a view and fire pits. Our drinks were just "ok"...I've never had ice in a French 75 and my husband's old fashioned was made with crushed ice and not a ball or large cube which was odd.

Do not get the refillable cups because that machine doesn't work most of the time and when you ask them to fill it up because that one's not working they get really grumpy with you. The room was very outdated we were in building one and it was like going back in time. Just came from the breakers so we should have stayed there we will never go back here. The stains on the couch and the fact that there is no outlets besides underneath the very short nightstand. The door to the balcony feels like it's going to fall apart. The bathroom is very strange you cannot really close to the door unless you're like in the bathtub. Now let's get to the pools again these people are very rude. The fact that you have to walk all the way over to get the towels and then bring them back where they're going to charge you $5 even though you don't get to really dry off is crazy now I know why people brought their towels. The boys did enjoy the water slide however we did not enjoy all the little puddles to get into the water park it just felt like something wasn't draining correctly so you're stepping into gross water.

The lazy river is very shallow and I know you have to be in a tube and that's fine but I don't like to lay in a tube I just like to like float in a tube while being in it but I couldn't do that because I'm too tall.
