HOLIDAY SANDS SOUTH, Myrtle Beach

The resort sits directly on the beach with its own beachfront access. Myrtle Beach Airport is just 2 km away, and Market Commons and Family Kingdom are 2 km from the property. North Myrtle Beach is 27 km north. Nearby attractions include the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk about 3 km away. Numerous restaurants are within walking distance, including Crow's Nest Oceanfront Bar & Grill and Woodhaven Pancake House at 0.5 km. Parking is directly across the street for hotel building guests, with an attached garage for condo guests. The location is practical for families, with grocery stores and shopping within a short drive.

The property has two buildings: a hotel building and a condo building. Rooms range from spacious double rooms to multi-bedroom apartments sleeping up to 10. All rooms have private bathrooms with a bath and shower, free toiletries, and a hair dryer. Bed configurations include queen beds and sofa beds. Most units are oceanfront with private balconies, but room types vary: Type 1 and Type 2 are direct oceanfront, while others may offer side ocean or boulevard views. The rooms are generally spacious but described as outdated. Road- and boulevard-facing units can be noisier; higher floors offer quieter stays. All rooms have air conditioning, heating, and tea/coffee facilities (filter coffee maker, not Keurig). Kitchens are fully equipped with stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, cookware, and dishes. No washing machines are in the rooms; a guest laundromat is available 24/7 in the hotel building.

Breakfast is not included in the room rate. J. Mike's Flavor Station is an oceanfront cafe open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:45 AM. The menu features a standard American breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, pancakes, French toast, oatmeal, and a fruit bowl. Prices vary by order. There is no bar on the property, but a bar is located next door. Several restaurants are within a short walk: Crow's Nest Oceanfront Bar & Grill (0.5 km), Woodhaven Pancake House (0.5 km), Loco Gecko (1 km), and Bolton's Blue Water Cafe & Beach Bar (1 km). For guests who prefer to cook, the in-room kitchens are well-equipped.

The resort offers extensive leisure facilities. There are two indoor pools and two outdoor pools (one heated), all open year-round. Two indoor hot tubs are available, and a lazy river is located in the condo building. A dedicated children's wading/play area is also on-site. The fitness centre is free to use. Beach access is directly from the property, and fishing is allowed with a license. For those interested, over 90 golf courses are within the Myrtle Beach area, some less than 5 minutes away. The indoor pool area can feel warm and the outdoor pool is on the smaller side. Towels are not always available at the pool areas, so bringing your own is recommended.
