Ocean Forest Villas by Elliott Beach Rentals

Nice area and walking to beach area was nice

My recent stay at Ocean Forest Villas in room 202E was a bit underwhelming. Unfortunately, the room had a strong musky odor, so much so that we had to buy air freshener to make it more comfortable. The condo also felt quite dated, especially the cabinets and closet areas, which really could use a refresh. I think the cabinets is what gave the condo the musky smell. Overall, the experience was okay, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Overall property was nice. Unit we stayed in was very humid to the point our clothes were wet. The a/c didn’t keep the unit at a comfortable temp either. The staff and customer service was top notch and amazing. Room gets a 2. Outer area gets a 10. Staff gets a 10

Let’s start with the positive…. The location to the beach and Myrtle Beach attractions was great! The unit we stayed in was not ideal…. We were notified by text that our unit was ready, clean and available for check-in…. Unfortunately, that was not the case. When my family and I entered our unit it was easy to see that it was not cleaned. The floors had not been swept, there was dried food on the counters, stove top and in the microwave…. There was hair in the bathroom sinks and showers…. Also, there was some gross and sticky substance on the lid of the garbage can… I realize people have different definitions of cleanliness, but having to spend the first few hours of our vacation buying cleaning products and cleaning is ridiculous…

All was well until we walked in unit E305. This unit is in desperate need of remodeling. It smelled old (think about a refrigerator that's been unplugged for years). We had a great time but we did everything in our power to spend as much time as possible away from this room. Never again Ocean Forest!

The property is well located and amenities are ok, just some issues with maintenance and communication that was not addressed.

Unfortunately, my experience with Apartment 202E was not great. I had to clean both bathrooms to be able to use. The showers where dirty with mess from previous guests. The Air conditioner units were moldy and not cooling. One of the rooms doesn't have air conditioning, where my kids slept. We needed sheets for the sofa bed, but none were provided at first. We went out to buy groceries for the week stay and upon arriving someone went in and left sheets on the sofa. Which it sound right, however we never called for them and whoever left them, left them without permission or even a phone call to let us know. I didn't know anyone can walk in without notice - this is upsetting. Very old apartment and updates have not been made well, musty and moldy smell all week. all mattresses are old and springy. The pool area is very small for all the apartments in the area. Nothing exciting about the pool :( adults were in the kiddie pool area drinking. The only positive and what my family enjoyed was the access to the beach. Other than that, terrible choice for stay and the amount we paid to stay was very disappointing for all that was wrong with the apartment. Avoid Apartment 202E

Great property

check in process was unneccesarily complicated for not having an open on-site office. Be aware buildings are three stories with no elevators

Condo was clean, beds were comfortable, softest towels I have ever dried off with, and location was very quiet. Maintenance was quick to unstop bathroom drain. Master bath was tiny in comparison to most. Shower was large enough to accommodate larger than life person, so it worked. Across the street from the beach, but no buildings to block view. Would definitely stay there again. C-115.
