Welcome to Ocean Waves Hotel

Ocean Waves Hotel sits quietly along the shores of Myrtle Beach, offering guests a simple retreat just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. This modest hotel, located at 2808 S Ocean Blvd, balances a straightforward charm with the warmth of a close-knit community. While its 2.9-star rating hints at challenges, the real story lies with the people who bring this place to life.

Guests often mention the dedicated staff, particularly the woman who manages the front desk. Her genuine care and no-nonsense approach create a welcoming atmosphere that extends beyond typical hospitality. It’s clear she shields the hotel’s spirit, striving to maintain respect and calm amid lingering echoes of a rougher past. Patrons staying longer find a sense of family here, a rare gem in the ebb and flow of travel.

The location is undeniably strong. Just a two-minute walk to the beach, visitors can savor sea breezes and Atlantic views without the frenzy of crowded resorts. Families can explore nearby attractions like Family Kingdom Amusement Park, only three miles away, or take a short drive to the convenience of Highway 17. For leisure seekers, the hotel offers free Wi-Fi, parking, a pool, air conditioning, and golf course access, catering to varied needs without overwhelming the senses.

Yet, despite its inviting setting and heartfelt service, Ocean Waves Hotel does show signs of aging and could benefit from operational improvements. Suggestions from guests point to needs like better waste management and added support for the hardworking staff. These elements, if addressed, would elevate the stay and honor the loyal community that has formed here.

In the end, Ocean Waves Hotel is less about polished luxury and more about sincere human connection and simplicity by the sea. It holds a rough-edged beauty that calls to travelers willing to embrace its imperfections in exchange for a memorable, grounded Myrtle Beach experience.

My experience wasn’t as bad as some patrons here. The little older lady that checks us in to the rooms is sweet but I can tell she takes no Crap which this place needs that due to its past clientele the location needs a dumpster on site so that the little older lady isn’t fighting trying to load her car up with trash I’ve seen the owner twice he seems like nice Guy just needs help running the place. There is this guy renting in the first Floor he should be running the hotel his attitude and perspective is truly bright when it comes to life the young man came here. From Nc And from just a small piece of his story that he shared I’m motivated to take on the world. He said he is writing a Book Called “If Not Now, Then When” {quote reference}(Chosen- Jewish religious series on the Pando App about the Life of JESUS THE SON OF DAVID AND Mary) It’s A story about the challenges he faced as a black young bisexual African American who left home at 14 and was forced to survive and grow up early he was sexually assaulted at a young Age causing him to strongly dislike authority figures that take there Job Way to Serious and had to become an Adult and become grounded in the world with the Earth because the Church had already chewed him up and spit him out just like life will Do if your not careful about the calling on your life and about What People Desire From Him but his gift and his testimonies will make room for him the book will Reflect on The Goodness of Jesus on how he overcame obstacles and rededicated his life back to Christ and at the big grown age of 31 with tears in his eyes and a heavy heart he rededicated his life back To God on march 6th 2025 Amen and he is Leaving every demonic entity that is not of God we cast you out and say depart from here you Evil doers for I shall keep the commandments of thy God…For God I live and For God I Die because as for me and my house we will bless the lord at all times and let his praise be in our mouths OH MAGNIFY THE Lord with ME LET US EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER .anyone that may go to this Place please understand and be patient with the owners. They are fixing the place slowly but surely the rooms are in Mid Conditions in need of of a make over and some spider Spray the little older lady seem to be Jewish or from Egypt and Her Attitude is the worst ever but she means well and she handles the drug issue from getting to her hotel with stern mother like talking to the younger kids in the area and a stern Motherly look that say put it back, sit back , stop what you are doing , I know you hear me talking to you. Or your mother raised you better maybe what they need but her and the young guy with the Comfy Robe need to Run the place together. That’s a successful power team right there let him do the booking and the talking and let her kick who she want off her property that’s what it seems she is really here for
