Definitely coming back. My stay was amazing. Took a lil bit to check in other than that everything was great

Don’t stay here

Yall please do not stay here! I read the reviews on hotels.com and they were good and the photos look good but it’s very deceiving. Go to other websites for reviews and TRUST THEM. The entire place smelt like natural gas & weed. Our suite smelled like paint when we got there and it looked as if someone came in and painted over dirt and who knows what else. The kitchen was super small (small oven, dishwasher and fridge) and not stocked at all. We had like 3 forks, no baking sheets, hardly anything! The cabinets are dirty and sticky so we had to wash everything. My feet were black after being there barefoot for 20 minutes. The bunk beds were broken. The back door to the patio doesn’t even close all the way. We wanted to go in the hot tub but the bottom was brown and disgusting. The white curtains dirty. I could Go on and on but there’s just too much. I would never recommend this, or stay here again.

You’re mainly Paying to be by the Beach

This place seems to have been review-bombed with positive reviews that might have been paid for or something, because you’d have to be missing part of your frontal lobe to give this a 10/10. I’ll start with the good: - Mary (the on-site attendant) is very responsive and friendly. - The property is right on the beach. - The text before check-in is detailed enough to get you there. - Temperature control is decent. - The rate was not over-priced and you can see why below. The not-so-good: - The pictures don’t match the property at all. Either they were staged and/or there were filters applied. - Half the time, there was someone smoking weed in a nearby unit and it got old real fast. It was gross. - Both jacuzzis are out of commission, which is also misleading and there’s signs for vending but no vending machines. - The furniture in our unit was dirty, most notably the couch and the floor was covered in sand. This place needs a lot of investment and a lot of work for people to not feel like they’ve been duped.

6/10 Good

This resort looked good when booking online. The pictures were definitely taken to make it look better than it was. The lobby and room were clean. The common areas were on the dirty side and the smell was not very pleasant. Outside they had replaced boards on the boardwalk to the beach. This is always appreciated except they left the old rotten boards right next to the boardwalk and it made it dangerous. The pools and hot tub were not functional and were disgusting to look at. The two neighboring resorts has nice clean pools. There was a gathering very late into the night and it made it unbearable to stay in the room or try to sleep. The staff was very polite and responsive and eventually got the noise to stop. I come to Myrtle multiple times a year. This was by far the worst place I have stayed at. Rather than being well rested on my trip, I was more tired that when I started. There are two wicked bright lights for the exterior rear. They are positioned right above two of the top floor bedrooms, and one was in my room. The curtains have gaps and let it more light than the sun. I had to go to the store and get make shift ties to keep the curtains together to not let in the light above the room. I can say without a doubt, I will not be staying here again and I will not recommend Willow Bay to anyone traveling to Myrtle.

People are nice as can be. Anytime you need they bring to your room. We enjoyed being able to cook and vacation on a budget. Less going out to eat left more money for activities in the area. The ocean view was beautiful. We will be back.

Great Place To Stay

The two ladies working there were very helpful and truly care about their customers, they went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were happy with our stay. We’ve stayed in motels everywhere but have never stayed in a nicer more clean motel than Willow Bay. We highly recommend this place , we will definitely be staying there in the future.

Property location is great and staff are nice but the hotel is really bad. Doesn’t match pictures. Booked on Expedia due to high rating and I have no idea where those ratings came from. Should have verified on google and read those reviews. Damp, musty feeling hallways, the room is in very poor condition and there was a roach crawling in the tub (literal roach motel). They should seriously consider pest control and renovations before continuing to operate.

Pretty good for the price point

Absolutely great location with great ocean views and super easy beach access. Staff is friendly, helpful and responsive. Location is walkable (1/2 mile or less) to restaurants and stores. The bedding could stand to be replaced/updated and adding a fan of some kind to the bedroom would be a nice improvement.

Property was suitable and the room was nice. Some upgrades could be done as far as electrical issues and it would be beneficial to have a small table on the balcony of each room to place items on such as cell phones, drinks, food, etc. The HOT TUB which was small, needed cleaning out. It appeared to have sand or dirt in it.

Frint desk was busy but helpful during Check-in time, the room we had was nice for just a lay over and chill. Me my other half and our little one enjoyed the easy access to the beach. The keyless entry worked Great. I gave it a 3 overall star because its old the knob on the bathroom tub was loose we we went to use it for the cold water and it came off. Just old i think a remodel would be good over just new flooring anyway its worth it if there is nothing else available or even just a lay over.

Very family friendly. The coutyard beside the is adorable with lots of cozy setting areas to relax and let the kids play. The walkout to the beach is right there with a private entrance. The rooms are cozy and the staff is unbelievable!! Would recommend to friends and family !! They take great care of you. You feel like family.

The property is very outdated, very clean but outdated. The pictures posted must be from when they first opened. They dont have bikes as they have listed in their amenities. The tint in the windows is peeling. The badeboards look as though they had water damage. The bunk bead was broken. And they have bugs. Unfortunately the only thing nice about this place is the staff. They were very nice and helpful. And the location and view.

Average beachside property. Pros: Nice outdoor space with chairs and games, short walk to the beach- good location. Space good for couple with kids, sleeps 5/6 with kitchenette. Cons: dated property that has attempted to update, but patched holes, worn bathroom and holes in baseboard. A/c needs work, beds super squeaky and saggy middle. Overall, average at best.
