Beach Cove Resort is the kind of place travelers book when they're not too interested in venturing far from the resort. Located in North Myrtle Beach, the oceanfront resort isn't in the thick of the Myrtle Beach action. But if seclusion is what's sought, the Beach Cove Resort is a good option. The U-shape of the resort keeps it secluded, and the 320 ocean-facing rooms invite sea breezes instead of street traffic noise. With lots to do at Beach Cove Resort -- including several pools and a lively beach bar -- there's enough here for visitors who seek a low-key Myrtle Beach vacation. For those who do want to explore off property, it's a seven-minute drive to the shops and restaurants at Barefoot Landing.
Scene
Beach Cove Resort is secluded, giving it an way-from-it-all vibe.
Travelers looking for a quiet Myrtle Beach vacation will likely love Beach Cove Resort's low-key vibe. Each unit faces the ocean, protecting visitors from traffic noise, and most attractions (with the exception of Barefoot Landing) are too far to be frequented. The resort even offers cozy lounge spaces above the lobby area for quiet relaxation. That said, the pool and beach bar -- both easily reached from the beach -- lend themselves to a more social experience when the want arises.
Location
Beach Cove Resort's got an oceanfront location, but it's not in the thick of the Myrtle Beach action.
Travelers looking for easy access to nightlife and the boardwalk will want to skip Beach Cove Resort, but those who choose North Myrtle Beach for accommodations usually know what they're getting. The resort is quiet, and just steps from the sand. It's also just a seven-minute drive from Barefoot Landing, the shopping and dining hub of North Myrtle.
Rooms
The decor is dated, but each unit has a large balcony and a view of the ocean.
With units that range from one-bedroom suites to three-bedroom condos, togetherness seems to be the idea behind the rooms at Beach Cove Resort. Even the smallest room can sleep up to six people. Balconies that run the width of the room or suite are larger than most, and offer ocean views for every unit. Ocean views don't get old, but decor does -- and the decor inside the units at Beach Cove Resort could stand an update. Bright, bold patterned bed linens and cheap-looking curtains are the norm, and some of the kitchens' old stoves and outdated tiles should be replaced. Still, the units come equipped with useful amenities including coffeemakers, toasters, plates, and utensils, plus a few extras such as free Wi-Fi and blackout shades.
Features
Beach Cove Resort's got plenty of on-site fun.
Aside from the ocean beach that the resort fronts, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the water at Beach Cove Resort. With a 350-foot lazy river, four outdoor pools, three oceanfront whirlpools and one indoor pool, water enthusiasts will have plenty of opportunities to splash. Aside from water fun, there's a racquetball court and a small fitness center, an arcade room for the kids, and a beach bar for adults. The resort has three seasonal restaurants, and one that's open year-round.
