BAY VIEW RESORT MYRTLE BEACH, Myrtle Beach

Bay View Resort sits directly on the 2 km Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, with the SkyWheel 850 m to the north and the Pier at 2nd Avenue to the south. Broadway at the Beach is a 4 km drive, and Ripley's Aquarium is 5 km away. The beachfront location provides direct sand access and a scenic boardwalk for walking, biking, and strolling to shops, ice cream parlours, and souvenir stores. A convenience store diagonally across the street handles quick grocery needs. The parking garage is across the street and includes accessible spaces, but the walk is two blocks, which may be a consideration for those with heavy luggage or mobility aids.

Bay View Resort offers a range of accommodations from basic rooms to 1-4 bedroom condos. Every unit has a private balcony, and all condos and suites come with a full kitchen including a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and cookware. Selected condo units also include a washer and dryer. Rooms feature a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker, while condos provide larger kitchens and separate living areas. The property has 19 floors with four passenger elevators. Room quality and furniture vary by individual ownership; some units are well-maintained and recently updated, while others may feel dated. Oceanfront rooms guarantee a direct ocean view; ocean-view rooms offer a 45-degree angle. The overall atmosphere is practical and family-oriented, with the main advantages being balcony views and in-room kitchen facilities.

The only food and beverage outlet on the property is a Starbucks located on the ground floor, serving coffee, seasonal flavours, and pastries. The hotel does not have a restaurant, does not provide breakfast of any kind, and does not offer room service. Vending machines with drinks and snacks are available. For full meals, numerous restaurants are within short walking distance along the boardwalk and across the street, including pizzerias, sushi spots, and casual dining. A grocery store across the street is useful for stocking the in-room kitchen. The lack of on-site dining makes the in-room kitchen important for guests wanting to prepare meals, or planning to eat out.

The resort's pool complex includes a heated indoor pool, a heated indoor lazy river with tubes, a heated outdoor pool (10x40 ft), a heated indoor kids' pool with a mushroom fountain, and two hot tubs. All pools are open year-round from 9:00 to 23:00, and pool/beach towels are provided. The outdoor area also features a sun terrace, loungers, umbrellas, and a fire pit. On the lawn, life-size chess and checkers games are set up, and an outdoor shuffleboard court overlooks the boulevard. The fitness room is complimentary, though equipment may be limited. A bar operates outdoors seasonally (11:00-18:00). No spa is available.
