  • Will there be a deposit due when I arrive?
    If you have booked accommodations in the main building and if you arrive with a $0 balance or pay any portion of your stay in cash you will be required to pay a $100 refundable security deposit. Please contact us for Beach House policies.

  • I’m thinking about wait to book until it gets closer to my travel dates; can this save me money?
    Most of the time, the opposite will happen. As stay dates approach and demand increase, rates often go up, not down. It’s best to book early!
  • Can I add another night to my reservation?
    We can check and see if an additional night is available. Please call us with your request.
  • I’m trying to search for dates on your booking calendar but I’m not getting any results.
    Chances are, the dates you are searching are either all booked or have a minimum night stay. Please give us a call and we can determine what the cause is and assist you with your reservation. If you cannot stay the minimum nights required or if we are full, please visit Vacation Myrtle Beach, to find other great resorts that may be able to accommodate your travel dates.
  • Can I choose which floor my room will be on?
    We do take requests for floors and towers, however we cannot guarantee them. Please call us to put in your request.
  • When can I see prices for next year?
    These rates will be posted near the end of this year.
  • How much money do I owe when I make my reservation?
    When you make your reservation for the main building, whether it be online or on the phone, the first nights room and tax as well as any additional services for the first night of your stay will be charged to your credit card to guarantee your reservation. The rest is due when you arrive. However, if you are booking one of the beach homes, different policies apply. Please contact us for more information.
