An ocean view condo or beach house is a rental unit that has a view of the ocean. The view may be from across the street (second row) or from your balcony that looks over the side of the building, rather than the front. An oceanfront rental unit is just how it sounds. You walk out onto your balcony or out the front door and you are looking directly at the beach. You can learn more about oceanfront Myrtle Beach condo rentals.
What is "second row?"
Second row refers to a condo or beach house located across the street from the ocean. For example, Malibu Pointe is a luxurious second row condo. All second row units are considered ocean view.
After I reserve and make a deposit, how should I handle my remaining final balance?
Final payment is due within 30 days prior to date of check-in and can be paid by personal check, cashiers check or Visa, MasterCard or Discover. You are responsible for final payment. You can either give us a call or visit this page to make an online payment. (For the online payment, you must have your reservation number (provided to you through email or on the phone) and your last name. You may then enter your credit card information to pay your final balance.)
If the pending balance is NOT paid 30 days prior to arrival, the remaining balance will automatically be charged to the credit card we have on file.
What is departure maid service?
Departure maid service is the type of maid service who clean after you leave for your return home. You do not have to worry about heavily cleaning the unit/house before you leave. There are certain requirements we do ask of you, though, so please ask your reservationist. Departure maid service is included in our rental price.
Are linens included in the rental unit?
Linen processing fees are required and are based on the number of bedrooms. 1br- $45, 2br: $55, 3br: $65, 4br: $75, 5br: $85, 6br: $95, 7br: $105, 8br: $125. Linens for the beds are included, including sheets, pillow cases, blankets and comforters. We also provide washcloths and towels for the bathrooms. We do NOT provide hand towels, dish towels, or beach towels.
Will I save money if I bring my own linens?
No — you may bring your own linens, but we cannot lower the rate if you choose to do so.
Are the units equipped with irons, ironing boards, hairdryers?
Not as a rule; however, some owners do leave one in their unit—to be safe, though, plan on bringing your own.
Are trash bags, hand and dish soap, and tissue provided?
We get you started with these items but we do not replenish them during your stay — all guests either bring these things from home or shop at one of the many convenient supermarkets within a very short drive.
Are BBQ grills provided?
Resorts may have a grill on the property, and some private beach homes have a grill provided. Please check the specific amenities listed for each rental.
I would like to pay for a family member's stay, but I will not be attending.
We would be more than happy to accommodate you. We do have extra steps and safeguards needed though if you are not going to be checking in with the credit card you used, so please give us a call at 800-624-6418 for full information on this process.
What are the parking regulations at the condos?
Due to height restrictions and noise ordinances, campers, motor homes, roof-top canopies, RVs, motorcycles or custom high top vans are not allowed on all condo properties. Overflow parking is available at some resorts for busses or large vehicles. Please check with us ahead of time if you plan to bring more than two vehicles. Restrictions apply.
The CondoLux office parking lot is not an option for overflow parking or oversized vehicles. City parking is available for free of charge in North Myrtle Beach. All applicable rules and regulations are posted accordingly and are enforced by the city.
Do the units have internet access?
