The Island Vista has been providing first class Accommodations on the Grand Strand since 1981. Located in the heart of one of the Grand Strand's most affluent residential communities, the Island Vista has been a tradition for Myrtle Beach vacationers for many years. Its superb location along a quiet stretch of beach, paired with award-winning dining, tasteful surroundings and friendly efficient service, has helped build a reputation as a great place for those who want a little more from their vacation.The original Island Vista Inn served as one of Myrtle Beach's most sought after family vacation destinations. The Inn was the only hotel in Myrtle Beach to offer package rates including breakfast and dinner to its guests, and this tradition of excellent service and wonderful meals created a huge family of guests that returned year after year, making the Inn a legend in its time. In 2004 the Chapman family decided it was time for an extensive facilities upgrade. After providing almost 25 years of vacations to guests of the area, the Island Vista Inn was officially closed and demolished so the reconstruction could begin.

I spent five days at the Island Vista with my fiancee. We had a one bedroom, ocean front room. The room was VERY small. There was a king sized bed (or so they said), but it was actually two twin beds pushed together with a "great divide" between them. There was no table in the room and only one counter that was 18 inches wide. There was no "kitchen." The shower did not drain well. The shower head was actually less than six feet high. I am six feet tall, so I had to duck to wash my hair because the water wouldn't hit the top of my head. I do not feel the room was worth the price we paid. I was on the second floor and there were huge palm trees right in front of the balcony that blocked our view of the ocean. So much for ocean front... Be aware before booking here. This was our first and last stay.
