We exchange our timeshare week we were there from Nov. 25 to Dec. 3, first off we will never go back. The staff was friendly and all but our room was very dirty and we had to clean it our selves since they do not do housekeeping unless you want to pay an additional fee. We had ocean view with no screen on widows so we could not leave the windows open and we also had no deck to sit out on. Every morning you had to take your own towels and linens down to laundry room to exchange for clean items. The last three days of our trip we had no hot water and we had to boil water to give the kids a bath. If you have small children this is not the place to stay the so call playground is a slide and no swings or playroom for kids. The indoor pool was nice but you had to walk outside to get to it and in the evenings it was cool coming out of the pool with small children to go back to your room. The beach was nice and clean. Over all we had a good time but will not go back there we will exchange somewhere else next time.

This resort had many things going for it. When we checked in, the front desk staff was very accomodating. We were assigned a room that smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Being allergic, I went to the front desk and they immediately accomodated my request for a unit change - that smelled great. The ocean view is phenomenal - the best thing the resort has going for it. It's older and dated and not fancy. Not a problem. What was a problem is that the room was not cleaned properly. There was obvious dirt under the refrigerator. The fronts of the kitchen cabinets had something running down them. The telephone was disgusting. I actually went out and bought Lysol and cleaned it myself. The bedroom mattress was very thin and uncomfortable. Bottom line: If you only care about a fabulous view, this place is for you. If you care about cleanliness, you will probably be uncomfortable here.

We enjoyed our stay at the Peppertree -it was our first trip to Myrtle Beach. We stayed on the 6th floor ( top) 2 bedroom. Although it was not luxurious it was very clean and nicely decorated. It is a small quiet hotel but there are many restaurants & stores close by. The best thing about it is very easy to go back and forth from the ocean to your room -those of us with kids know how important that is!

We exchanged our timeshare week for a July 4 week at Peppertree Ocean Club. I had read the somewhat mixed reviews and was a little anxious about the property. Here are the pros and cons as I see them:

PROS:
1. It's located directly on the beach. This is convenient since you can go back and forth to your unit for food, breaks, etc.
2. It's in North Myrtle Beach, a more laid-back seaside town than Myrtle Beach proper, if that is what you're looking for.
3. The people at check-in were friendly, and check-in and check-out were quick and easy.
4. The one-bedroom unit we had, though small, was cheerfully decorated and relatively clean. Furniture was in good shape, and the queen-size bed was comfortable.
5. You can exchange linens/towels daily (unlike some timeshare resorts).
6. The mini-kitchen does at least offer a full-size fridge and a stove/oven, along with the usual microwave, etc.
7. There are two outdoor pools and one indoor pool and several hot tubs, although small. The grounds were clean.
8. When we first arrived we found no hot water, so we called the front desk, and they immediately sent up a repairman who fixed the problem. There is no problem with the water pressure, by the way!

CONS:
1. While we were there, there was a building going up across the street, and our unit unfortunately was not one of the units facing the ocean, so our kids sleeping in the living room could hear construction noises every weekday morning starting at 7:00, including the ubiquitous back up beeping signal of the trucks. Also didn't offer the prettiest of views, although if you leaned out over the tiny balcony railing, you could view the ocean.
2. Parking is at a premium. The lot at the resort fills up quickly and it's the luck of the draw when you can find a space here later in the evening. There is additional parking across the street, but you have to watch traffic, although it's certainly not heavy traffic in this area most of the time.
3. The one-bedroom unit was one of the tiniest we've ever seen in our 20 years of exchanges. There's a good size sleeper sofa, but we had to rearrange the furniture to allow for an Aerobed that we brought along for our daughter to sleep on, and our son slept on the sofa without pulling out the sofa bed. The dining table has fold-down leaves that had to stay folded down on one side to allow for room, which only provided seating for 3 people at a time. Not a big problem but caused us to be efficient with every square inch of space.
4. The sliding glass door onto the little balcony didn't completely close at the bottom--there was a gradual gap to about 1/2 inch at the bottom. Plus the glass is blurry due to condensation.
5. Bathroom is small. Our sink had a badly repaired crack in the bowl.
6. The outside door to the unit had a loose lock assembly. However, the deadbolt worked, and you have to use a card-key anyway.

Bottom line for us was, we felt that the pros outweighed the cons for the most part. We felt lucky to get an exchange to an ocean-front place during a prime summer week. The minor inconveniences of the small unit did not adversely affect our good time here. We really only slept and ate breakfast in the unit anyway, since we were either on the beach or out shopping or sightseeing or visiting friends the rest of the time.
