“Ocean Forest-Great Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 30, 2012

This was our family's first stay at Ocean Forest in Myrtle Beach. Reservations and key pick-up could not have been easier. The condo was perfect. The place was clean, tidy, plenty of towels and linens and just the right size to be very comfortable. There were more than enough dishes, utensils and pots and pans to accomodate. We had a fantastic 2nd floor view of the ocean from the private deck. Most all the decks here have high top tables and chairs to give a unhindered view of the ocean over the balcony rails. They have pegs for wet towels and swim suits which was very nice. The walk over to the beach was not too far and the beach in this location is never too crowded, even in the summer. Very peaceful place with beautiful landscaping & grounds. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool a bit, but as beach lovers, spent most of our time there. Ocean Forest is very well maintained, affordable and has everything a family would need to have a great vacation. I have one complaint. There are very nice laundry rooms on the 2nd floor of each building, which we planned on taking advantage of. Problem: NO CHANGE MACHINES!! Washers are $1.50 each and dryers $1.00. Both take quarters. No one in the town would sell us quarters!! We tried Krogers, Food Lion, gas stations, etc. I highly suggest that if coin operated laundry facilities are provided, a bill-to-quarter change machine be provided in each one. When staying for a week with a family, most don't bring $50 in quarters. Not sure why not one business in this town would sell quarters-but it made the laundry facilities useless for us and this was VERY disapointing.

Room Tip: If you plan on using the using the laundry facilities-bring LOTS of quarters!! No one in this town...

“Family Affair Vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 31, 2012

I enjoyed my 1st visit. The only thing i did not like is one bedroom did not have a TV and no stereo system in the condo. But I will bring my own music when I return in 2012. It is the best family vacation location because you are able to relax, play and enjoy the boardwalk. It's a lot to do. I'm making it a family affair each year.

“Ocean Forest Club”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 28, 2012

This resort is a part of Ocean Forest Villas, it is a group of 7 individual houses, all 3 bedroom, 2 bath. You cannot find reviews of this resort, and Ocean Forest Villas will tell you they know nothing of the houses. You will check in at the Ocean Forest Villas, then you are on your own.

The first house we checked into, house #3, had no air conditioning and an alarm was sounding from the stove every three to five minutes. I called Ocen Forest Villas which sent maintenance, then told me to call a different number because they knew nothing of the houses. I was then moved to house #4.

There was a musty smell throughout the house, but at least the air worked. When you step into the house, be prepared to step back into the 1980. There are no updates here. Lattice is the choice of decor. The washing machine leaked, the toilets did not flush well, pillows were nasty, bed uncomfortable, etc. Any calls to Ocean Forest Villas will become frustrating as they continue to say we know nothing about the houses and then become argumentative.

The house has good bones and with some TLC could become a good place to stay, but no one wants to take responsibility of these homes.

I would not recomend this place.

“A quick vist on our way home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 22, 2012

We had not been to M.B. for a few years and since the weather was great found this place overlooking the ocean. We stayed on the 22nd floor with wonderful views of the ocean etc.
The biggest complaint was extremely worn uncomfortable balcony furniture. The condos are
privately owned so all different. We enjoyed the condo and the price was right.

“Ocean Forest Villas Myrtle Beach, SC”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2011

Ocean Forest Villas has become one of my favorite beach locations. The accommodations are clean and roomy. Check-in is easy, getting you on with your plans! I have stayed here so many times, it is like my second home. This is the best deal for your money. It is convenient to everything but not right in the hussle-bussle. Easy access to the ocean.
