This was a really comfortable place to stay and roomy We loved pools and firepits just wished firepits stayed open later

We were very comfortable here. Beautiful condo with large oceanfront balcony with great views. Host was very quick to respond whenever we reached out. The location was great as it was less crowded on the beach. Easy drive to restaurants/grocery/shops. We enjoyed the walk to the park right next to the property & live music by the pools.The garage is tight but we managed ok and always found a spot easily. The resort was clean and staff was friendly. Easy access to parking and resort lobby. We would def stay here again.

Our vacation experience with Gary was as every bit as amazing as we had hoped. Communication with Gary was easy and he responded immediately to any questions we might have. The property was large enough to accommodate our family of five and had everything that we needed to make our stay as relaxing as possible. Gary has thought of everything. The location of the property was perfect! We were close enough to many attractions, mini golf, and many restaurants. The access to the beach was a major plus. We look forward to returning to Myrtle Beach and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful unit, tastefully decorated and kitchen was neatly organized and had everything I needed and more. Owners are responsive and very pleasant.

Traveled to this beautiful condo for my grandkid’s Fall Break; six of us: my son and his wife, our two grandkids (14 & 12), and the wife and me. The condo is a wonderful size for this group; we never felt cramped, and the space served us extremely well. Reports were that all the beds were very comfy. I have absolutely no complaints regarding anything tied to the unit. Island Vista as a facility though didn’t quite meet the promise, which may have been tied to our end-of-season timing. But, given it was Fall Break time I was hoping for more. The Tiki Bar touted in Gary’s statement and Island Vista’s web page was never open. The indoor pools were still in summer mode and too cold for even the kids to consider taking a trip on the lazy river (a disappointment for them). Only one of the two outdoor pools was a temperature that could be withstood – and the family did enjoy that. The beach though is great, and our time spent there was wonderful. Gary’s place is superb! If you aren’t there early or lates season I predict you will have a great experience

Everything was as described, condo is well supplied, we had everything we needed. Updates are very nice. This is our third stay at this condo and we had another great stay. Tina from NY

We arrived a bit early a little after 3 when check in is typically 4 I messaged Gary to see if we could possibly get in earlier he responded quickly (like he had done the entire process) saying it was clean and all ready for us, went directly there parked on level 2 and condo was right there easy code access..went in it smelled and looked amazing! Yall this place had everything we needed from the closet full of toys, to the large balcony, to the comfy beds( I need this topper) the large couch and seating in general in every area was perfect for us! I told Gary before we even left that we were already planning to come back next year. We were able to hang at the beach/pool area during the day(plenty of towels for that in the room already)and tiki bar was an added bonus then back up to the room to enjoy the hot shower or jacuzzi tub(plenty of bath towels,hand towels and wash cloths) we would head out then once back to the condo we would enjoy the restaurant/bar just downstairs or sit up in the room and enjoy board games or cards or back out on the balcony with a glass of wine! If you are considering this condo stop thinking and book it...we are coming back to this most perfect condo and the location is unbeatable close to everything but beach isnt crowded at all! Thank you Gary for making this our best trip to date. Cant wait to return!

I cannot say enough amazing things about the property. It is more beautiful in person...and the pics are amazing. Everything you need for cooking, cleaning, linens, etc. are there. The unit was extremely comfortable and decorated perfectly with amazing views. I really cannot say enough good things. I am making my reservation for next year.

The property was exactly as described and the host was extremely responsive. Would highly recommend this home.

The pictures do not reflect the great view from the balcony. This is a great place to stay, beautiful sunrises, right on the beach, close to great restaurants Gary was great to work with, very communicative and fast to respond with any questions we had. I have already shared the listing with multiple friends looking for a place to stay in Myrtle Beach I would highly recommend

We enjoyed this newly remodeled unit!!! It was extremely clean and the beds were the most comfortable beds we’ve ever stayed at in a resort!!!! You won’t be disappointed!

Island Vista resort was clean, well kept, and everyone was friendly. Gary was easy to work with and responded quickly when I had a question. The condo itself was clean, updated and has beautiful views of the ocean. It also had plenty of space for my family and was equipped with everything we needed. We hope to return again. Thanks, Gary!

We had the most amazing week at Island Vista! Check-in could not have been simpler. And the condo, OMG, it is beautiful and was absolutely perfect for our expectations. Everything was clean and neat, the room set up worked just great for us, our son & daughter-in-law and our 7 year old grandson. The pool and the beach were awesome. Gary was so easy to work with. We had a week of great food, great weather and great family time🏖️

This condo was fabulous. It's proximity to the beach was wonderful. With mobility issues, my sister felt included even when she was unable to be on the beach. The property has great outdoor spaces with a very friendly staff. The condo is conveniently located that made loading and unloading a breeze. Gary is a very responsive host who seems to love for his guest to have the ultimate experience.

The upgrades to the condo are wonderful!! This is our third time staying in this condo and won’t be our last! The owner is very responsive and the entire resort is awesome!! Can’t go wrong if choosing this condo for your vacation!!

The communication with our host was great! He was so pleasant and helpful! The condo was even better than we hoped! It was perfectly stocked. We appreciated all the beach gear also! The beds were so comfortable and we felt right at home! Nothing bad to say! Thank you, Gary!!!

This was our 2nd year staying in Gary’s condo. The entire process was perfect. The condo has everything you need plus extras. It’s clean & well maintained. We stay at Island Vista 5-6 times a year, it’s one of the most beautiful places in the area. We will be return guests for many years to come.

We had a wonderful time. It's nice and spacious, close to activities and the views were beautiful! The sound of the ocean each day was so rejuvenating for us. See you again!

We really enjoyed our second stay at Gary and Lisa's condo at Island Vista. Everything was as stated on VRBO site. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. We love the location, close to everything we wanted to do. We highly recommend their condo and will definitely be back in the future. Tina in New York

clean and all needs met

This is a great resort and a great condo! Great beach access, pool access, and amenities. Easy access from eother parking garage and very close to elevator. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay in this condo. Very well kept/clean, great location, owner responded very quickly. It was so nice not to have to deal with the front desk for check-in. Condo was ready much earlier in the day. Overall a wonderful place and would stay here again! Thanks!

We love this resort. The room was very clean and is exactly what is described. Had no issues and would like to book this again in the future.

My daughters and I had the best vacation here and we can’t wait to come back next year! It is the perfect location and close to everything. The owners were amazing and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great time. I had a few questions while I was there and agog right back to us each and every time! Can’t recommend this place enough and looking forward to seeing the condo next year with all the upgrades they are doing.

Gary was a great host. We have stayed at Island Vista before but they didn’t have the size suite we needed. Gary’s condo was perfect, clean and extremely spacious. He responded very quickly whenever I messaged him. My family and I enjoyed our stay and when we return to Island Vista again I will definitely reach out to Gary first! Thank you!!

We've been staying a this property since they opened in 2006 and have always had a great time. Oceanfront, in a nice area North of the typical Myrtle hustle, but close enough to a ton of food and entertainment options. Slightly disappointed this year, to see some of the required maintenance falling behind. Some minor pool repairs needed, broken doors in the lobby, etc., but ultimately it did not interfere with our good time. Would love to see our favorite location get a bit of a makeover, we have always loved the Polynesian theme, but it's getting slightly dated. This unit was as expected, however, and we had zero issues checking in or during our stay. Thank you Gary for sharing your rental with us and for making our vacation easy!

The property was huge over 1700 sq.ft. Three bed three bath we had our kids and granddaughters with us, the kids pools were great a lazy river and a wading pool for the granddaughters several hot tubs the facility was very well keep. We just can’t say enough nice things about the owners wonderful to work with . We loved our stay and will return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Condo was very nice, clean, great location. Easy check in and check out process. Restaurant food was great and not overly priced. Kids program was awesome. Staff at the resort was very friendly. The owner was very prompt in responding to emails. We will definitely stay here again.

This unit was perfect for our family vacation. It was spacious, clean, prime location and had all the amenities of home. The owner reached out with vital information and was very accommodating to ensure our arrival was seamless. We had fanatic views of the beach and the pools at the Island Vista were awesome. We highly recommend and look forward to staying again!

This was the 2nd year in a row we stayed at this condo. My kids love it because of the indoor/outdoor pools and the lazy river. The beach is great and the water is warm and there are a lot of things to do and good places to eat within a 5 mile radius. I highly recommend this property.

very nice however the decorations are a bit dated.

Overall experience was fantastic. Location is amazing. There are only private homes on either side of the resort so the beach is much more private than the beaches lines with other hotels and resorts. But you are still within 10 min drive to most entertainment and eating spots. Condo was nice and well stocked. Resort had wonderful amenities with well maintained grounds, pools indoor and out. Excellent for anyone with small children as we did. Had excellent communication with the host and Gary was very quick to respond and address any questions you may have. 5 ⭐️’s! Highly recommend!
