I reserved a 2 bed room 2 bath but was given a 1 bed 1 bath. The hotel office closes early at 5pm, as I had a late check-in I was stuck with the 1 bed 1 bath the first evening and they didn't switch it out after the mistake was discovered, but
they did try to blame [...].The bedding and towels come in a large bag, so you will need to make the bed and put up towels. The fitted bed sheet I received had white bleach stains on it and barely fit the mattress causing it to come off in the night.The units are dated and the balcony was warped and felt unsafe to be on. The carpets were stained in the unit and the pull out bed was covered with food crumbs. Had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with luggage as there was no elevator.Grand Strand Vacations and Resorts should have done something to mitigate the problems with the condo but blew the issue off like it was no big deal.

Long Weekend Get Away
Our stay at Shipwatch Pointe was great. We were only a block away from the beach. The condo was so quiet and relaxing we stayed in the majority of our stay. I guess we have to come back to really enjoy the beach. The condo was so much better
than a hotel because noone came in to clean while we were out. We had space to move around and most of all it was equip with just about everything we needed. I did missed a DVD player and a stero for added entertainment, but then again, we probably would not have left the room. Thanks for everything.

Short walk from hotel
We walk to the beach and there were a comfortable resturant right there on the pier where we had excellent service, reasonable prices, and great food. I give them two thumbs up.
