“Just can't stay anywhere else....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

We've stayed here 4 times (5th coming up soon) and we never book online or over the phone. We always get the best deal up front in person. We let them know how many times we've stayed so they know we are repeat customers. The one thing you must do (and this is key!!) is ask to look at a few rooms before you purchase. We have done this the last 3 times and they had no problem letting us check out the rooms on our own (they also gave us 3 diff rooms to check out). Now that to me is excellent service because if we don't like what they have available we're not stuck: forced to leave and lose money (after booking online/phone), argue over imperfections, or stay and suffer period! You have your privacy and a spacious fp. compared to other resorts/hotels. The view is freakin' awesome and the ocean sounds just amazing.

Room Tip: Remember ask to look at a few rooms before you purchase! They may hold your ID while you look.

“Wedding 9-10-11”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

I had my wedding on the beach in front of Waters Edge Resort!! It was the wedding of a life time!! My husband and I stayed at the resort for a week following our wedding and have nothing to complain about. All of our family and friends loved the place as well. We plan on taking a family vacation every year and staying at Waters Edge. I loved the room...we were in 1206! We had a great view, loved the beach and especially the hot tub. The bar was great and the Beach Bum Cafe!! Can't wait til next year when we get to visit again. Everyone who works there and everyone we meet were extremely nice. The day of our wedding everyone was watching us from their balconies and walked down just to tell us how great we looked and congrats! The staff was very prepared for our wedding party and guest and done whatever we needed them to, to help with the wedding!!

“Worth the money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

We stayed at this Resort in early June. We had a 2-bedroom unit. As we were there with another large group renting a house, we basically only slept in the condo the entire time we were here. The amenities are all very good. We did Karokee at the bar on site one night - the bar is TINY. Our group took up the entire place. The location was perfect for us, as the house our family was renting was basically "just down the road".

It was great having laundry in our unit to do our bathing suits and beach towels while we were there, I loved not having a suitcase full of dirty laundry to do when we got home.

The only thing that I would say is a negative is that the bedding was very worn, I notice this mostly because, like I said, all we really did was sleep here so most of the time we spent in the condo was in bed. I think that the overall appearance of the unit could be better if they invested some money in new bedding...Pillows, sheets and blankets.

Room Tip: I don't think there is bad room location-wise as they all face the glorious ocean.

“Multiple Stays at Water's Edge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have been staying at Water's Edge for the past 4 years. My first trip I stayed in Unit 102 (2-bedroom unit). After our first stay, I just kept requesting/reserving the same unit. The unit is clean, updated and in very nice shape - you can tell the owners take pride in keeping their condo nice. Meeting and talking with others who were staying there I found out we were definitely in one of the nicest condos. So, if you're looking for a nice, clean comfortable unit, request Unit 102 if it is available - you will not be disappointed!

“Average building, amenities, nice unit if you can get one that has been renovated!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

My husband and I stayed at Waters Edge for a week in Sep 2011. We rented through VRBO so had no issues with a dated unit for the most part. The bathrooms in the unit seemed a little worn. When I go away and pay upwards of $175 per night i would expect more up to date fixtures in the bathroom, cleaner around the toilets etc. Other than that the owners seem to have renovated most of the rest of the unit. The building itself was somewhat dated. The elevators were not slow like others wrote, although they were in desparate need of refurbishment. Very run down looking. The pool was closed as there was construction work going on, but we were able to take the beach chairs from the pool over to the beach. Parking was good and we always got a spot on the main level. View was fabulous, but I think probably anything oceanfront at myrtle beach is going to have a good view. We visited surfside beach on our last day and i think we would try this area next time. No high rise units, bigger/wider beach area, more restaurants within walking distance. Garden City pier was fun to visit. Good live music and we saw sharks at the end of the pier.

Room Tip: book through VRBO and not the resort itself
