    Door hinge missing

    I reserved a beach house in North Myrtle Beach, SC on September 28, 2025 ($2,180.53). I paid the balance of $2,166.12 on May 4, 2026. I booked this through Airbnb and Thomas Beach Rentals was the one I went through to rent the house. Our vacation was scheduled for July 11, 2026 - July 18, 2026. After driving over 12 hours with an 8 month old, we arrived at the beach house on July 11, 2026 about 3:00 pm. I went to Thomas Beach Rentals after getting a text that the house was ready. I checked in and went back to the house. This is when we discovered the house was TOTALLY misrepresented from the pictures online. The pictures online made it look immaculate and brand new. We first walked out to the pool. Half the tiles on the pool wall were missing. They were laying on the picnic table which was aluminum and rusted all over. You couldn't even sit on it. The pool water was VERY cloudy and there was sand all over the inside. There were numerous adirondack chairs sitting around the pool. They were all broken (cracked down the middle) and you couldn't sit in them. It was not a clean area at all. Then we went inside where we found it to be DISGUSTING! When we walked in the front door,there was the living room furniture sitting on an area rug. The rug was black because it was so dirty. The hard floors were not clean and were disgusting. Then we walked into the bedrooms. The one bedroom had mold in the bathroom. Each bedroom, where the carpet met the trim at the bottom of the wall was black. All the bathrooms were disgusting and not clean. Every door in the house was filthy with hand marks and dirt on both sides. It didn't smell clean at all. There was also a broken window (cracked through the entire top part of the window) with some kind of tape covering it. The door to the cabinet under the sink was falling off because it was missing a hinge. Most of the woodwork was torn up all through the house. We had an 8 month old child who crawls everywhere and we would not even consider letting her on that floor ANYWHERE inside the house. At that moment, we called Thomas Beach Rentals and told them what we found and we CANNOT stay there. I spoke to Ken (I think that was his name) and told him the situation and his response was "I'm not sure what I can do for you at this point." I pretty much told him that he needs to find us something else. By this time it was 4:00 pm. He said he had a condo but I said I wanted to look at it first. It was 3.5 miles north of where we wanted to stay. We drove there and parking was under the condo highrise and when we pulled in there were no spots. We could see the pool area and it was disgusting so we were not even going to get out to look at the condo. We drove back to the beach house and called him back. His response was he didn't have anything and we needed to work with Airbnb. At this point I was pretty much having an anxiety attack because we have an 8 month old with us and we just drove over 12 hours and have nowhere to stay. We then contacted Airbnb. They were fantastic and asked us to send them pictures. We did and within 10 minutes they refunded my money. They started sending us listings to look at BUT with it being last minute needing something that day for a week, nothing they sent worked. It was either out of our price range or too small for 2 families. In the meantime as we scrambled to find something on our own, someone from Thomas Beach Rentals showed up to take pictures. We showed him everything as he took pictures and he was beside himself that Thomas Beach Rentals would rent this house out in this condition. He said he was going to go back to the office and relay everything. After he left, 2 women showed up. They said Thomas Beach Rental called them. They got out of their car with a blower and went back by the pool. They picked up all the tile that was laying on the picnic table and blew all the dirt off the patio. They then proceeded to blow the driveway and also took all the chairs out to the street for the trash. The one lady then came up to me and said she had to drive 30 minutes for the beer cans they had to pick up. My response was "I know nothing about beer cans. We are upset about the cleanliness of the entire house." These 2 ladies didn't even go inside and then left. In the meantime, we found a condo about 2 miles further away from the beach. It was available so we booked it but had to wait for the owner to respond which said she usually responds within 2 hours. At this point we were all exhausted, not even knowing if we would get this condo. We decided to go to the store and get some food. When we were done, we went to the condo complex and just sat in our cars waiting. While we were waiting, Airbnb contacted me and asked if we found something. I told them the situation and they said "Let us call her." She called me within 5 minutes.

    AC unit

    North Shore house at 506 N Ocean Blvd. AC unit is in DESPERATE need of replacement!Reported to Thomas. They sent a repairman to our rental house. Repairman had previously reported this AC unit as being NOT repairable. It was totally unacceptable! If Thomas is aware then why have not already replaced this AC unit!

    IMMEDIATE COMPLAINTS Old uncomfortable furniture Trash under all the beds furniture feels like it's gonna break Appliances very old and hard to use Deceiving photos of property; smallest balcony on property. Sand on surfaces and all of the furniture Stains on furniture Gross, moldy, and horrible smell Complete disaster for the amount we paid! spent days reaching out, at first was told we could not be moved, nothing could be done. later told we would be compensated for our trouble, only to be told they would return $736 out of $4500! and that was the best they could do; with the exception of giving us gift certificates for some of the fees next year!!! like we would really book through them again! This place was not worth even half of what we paid for it!

    Roaches

    i always rented from Thomas, never again! Horrible customer service and the owner, Hank Thomas just reply's with one sentence like he's working on your complaint, haha! 4 months and still not resolve, hope th enjoyed my money, Driftwood was a dump, they don't even rent it anymore on their website but won't resolve my issue. And Ken Gillater is terrible with customer service, a bully!!

    I am so glad I found this place on Airbnb our condo reservation was easy to make and our condo was nice and clean. It had beautiful views and our rooms were spacious. Only gripe is there was soda bottle trash behind pillows on couch. I only realized because my kids are very curious. They had nice cooking sets and a great assortment of cooking utensils in case you needed to cook something. The fridge was spacious and the stove was fancy. I'd book through them again in the future.

    We've been renting beach houses through Elliot for over 15 years now, and in the beginning, our…read moreexperiences were truly wonderful. Unfortunately, over the past few years, we've noticed a significant decline. Cleanliness has become a recurring issue. We've had to call housekeeping back multiple times because the initial cleaning was not done well. This past year, there was hair on the toilet paper holder, visible dust in several areas, and the indoor glass tables looked like they were wiped with harsh cleaners, leaving them streaky and cloudy. In the past, if something wasn't right, we could call and it would be taken care of quickly and professionally. This year felt very different. The hot tub was broken, and instead of a straightforward apology or resolution, the issue seemed to be brushed off. We also had random sheets placed in our elevator that we didn't request, which added to the confusion. What was most disappointing was that when my mom left a review on their site, parts of it were altered and the negative feedback was removed--even though she still gave a generous 4-star rating. As long-time renters, it's frustrating to see the quality and customer service go downhill like this. We've made many great memories over the years, but we hope to see improvements moving forward.

    My family recently had a horrible stay at the Elliot Reality Ocean Reef resort. Upon arrival at the…read morecondo, we immediately noticed that the room was filthy--just walking in, there was a "smell." It didn't take us long at all to notice food and crumbs all over the floor and furniture. It only got worse as we unpacked to settle in and get ready for our beach vacation. It looked as if the room hadn't been cleaned for a while. Dirty linens on every bed had to be washed. There were broken fixtures, which included lights that didn't work, shower heads, and towel racks falling off the wall. The bath had to be scrubbed to remove all the filth that was left in it due to lack of cleaning. Doors to rooms wouldn't stay shut, which was interesting with 2 small children with us who wanted to walk into every room at the most inappropriate times. There was mold build‑up on trim and wall decor. Previous renters' mouth retainers were on the floor. A gigantic hairball was on the furniture, and sinks were clogged from hair buildup. There were layers upon layers of dust on fans, and a broken television in the master bedroom. During our stay, the keyless door lock to our room decided to run out of battery power. My Girlfirend and I waited 4 hours in the room waiting for someone to come change it. Don't expect common household kitchenware--the lack of basic necessities you would expect from renting a beach condo was not there. We were there 5 days and called every day about a new issue or just to inform them of the filth. They offered us a "reclean" 3 days in. It wasn't cleaned to begin with, and we had already cleaned just to try to feel comfortable. When we checked out and talked to the manager about our issues, he offered to refund the cleaning fee, saying that he couldn't credit us anymore unless the A/C or hot water was out. But Elliot Reality was perfectly fine with us laying and living in filth after we paid them over $3k for a 5‑day stay. It is a disgusting place, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing good research and finding a more accommodating rental in this area. Elliot Reality is not your top choice--please trust me.

    REVIEW OF THE PRINCE RESORT HOTEL/CONDOS IN MYRTLE BEACH 7/23-7/25/2026…read more So where do I begin? The meat: First night, one of the beds broke down at around midnight and despite being told someone would be up promptly to take care of the situation, it took another phone call before anyone arrived, and when they did, it was security and not maintenance. There were boxes of ceramic tiles stored underneath the bed. Next day before going out, the "DO NOT DISTRUB SIGN " was placed on the door, only to come back to find that someone had entered the room anyway. They did not perform any housekeeping but left a telltale sign that someone had been in the room, as a refrigerated bottle of water "Wellsley Farms", a BJ's brand product sitting on the dresser in my room sweating onto the dresser. Sitting right in front of the clock. The time we arrived back to the room at 7:05 p.m. Called the front desk to find out why someone would enter our room when there was a "DO NOT DISTURB" SIGN on the door. Was informed after an investigation of security cameras as well as electronic key card logs, that no keys were used except ours to enter the room and nothing showed up on film. Yet the water bottle was not there when we left the unit and none of us had any plastic water bottles among us. (How is that possible?) I put the bottle into a plastic bag in case further investigation was needed. The sliding glass door in the living room area would not lock. Potatoes: Parking, had to park across the street in a parking garage. Very inconvenient. Construction: There was construction going on which took away some of the aesthetics/ambiance of the place. On a positive note, the rooms were clean and enough towels and toiletries provided for the duration of our stay. Kitchen was very efficient with updated appliances.

It was downright gross. We reported it to the front desk (she was very receptive to our complaint) and was told the manager had to be notified prior to any action being taken. There were no other rooms available at the Seaside, so a new location would have been the only other option. Nothing was done that night. The next morning, we were prepared to move to another spot. After speaking to the manager and a maintenance person being notified of the situation, we were offed to have the room sprayed, or to have the mess painted. We chose neither, as that would only exacerbate the issue. We wanted out of that room. From doing my research black mold, the only true remedy would be to have professional remediation. The manager, even after seeing the photos I'd taken said that it could have just been "dirty" NOT! So, she arranged for us to be housed at another location with the same accommodations. We had already packed our belongings prior to speaking to her, so we were ready to move. We did and when we arrived our rooms were not ready. Waited over an hour before we could go upstairs to our room. The room seemed clean. The kitchen was outdated but functional. You be the judge. Mold or "just dirt" See pictures attached. Because of the exposure and inconvenience of having to move, I felt that some portion of the money spent should have been refunded. I will be sending this review to corporate to see if a remedy will be provided. July 21-23 stay. Best part of stay was the beach, beach view and rooms seemed clean, but how clean can it be with this circulating around in the air?

You better pray that the staff doesn't enter your room while you are down at the beach enjoying family/ friend time with your loved ones. The perp evidently knows no cameras means endless opportunities to strike.

Of course we called the police once we realized the hotel wouldn't be much of service to assist us. You've all been warned. I would never stay at a hotel with no security cameras; we didn't realize they didn't have them in place until we asked them to check the cameras to help recover my missing purse (sigh). I hope I get some justice from this very unfortunate ordeal. Oh and the room wasn't cleaned properly. My friend grabbed a towel after check in and anxiously cleaned the filth from baseboards.

We did enjoy the pool area but do recommend getting there early if you want a chair, we had beach chairs so for us it wasn't a deal breaker. Yes, the hotel is dated, but we understand that it's in a hurricane zone, so we're pretty understanding of that. Our room was clean and decent, and honestly, our only real complaint about the room was that the sink and tub didn't drain very well. We didn't use the stove but it was very outdated but atleast it was there If we wanted to use it. The elevator floor was wet & sandy but here again it is a beach front hotel; you're going to have it! The breakfast bar was just okay, and while the eating area is on the smaller side, they have to-go containers available and a nice-sized outdoor patio. The parking isn't directly on the property, but there's a parking lot right across the street, so it really wasn't a big inconvenience for us. Overall, for the price, location, oceanfront views, beach and pool access, we really can't complain! Would we stay here again? Absolutely! Sometimes you just have to experience a place for yourself instead of letting the reviews make the decision for you!

The stunning beachfront location captivated me from the moment I arrived. The house is just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean's sandy shores, making it a perfect getaway for beach lovers. The house itself is beautifully designed and impeccably maintained. The interior is spacious, clean, and filled with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is tasteful and modern, with comfortable furnishings that make you feel at home. The fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed to prepare delicious meals, and the dining area provided a perfect setting for family dinners. The elevator from the bottom level to the third-floor level was perfect for those who may have difficulty climbing stairs. One of the standout features of "Divine by the Beach" is the expansive deck. We spent many mornings sipping coffee while watching the waves and evenings enjoying the gentle sea breeze. The outdoor space is perfect for relaxing, dining, or simply soaking up the sun. Another standout feature was the pool and the jacuzzi area, which was excellent for our family party. That same floor had a theatre room where we watched movies on a large projector screen. The location is fantastic, with easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and shops. Despite being close to everything, the house offers a sense of privacy and tranquility, making our stay incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. Overall, "Divine by the Beach" exceeded all our expectations. It is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to enjoy a seaside escape in South Carolina.
