7 Recent Additions and Updates to Experience in Myrtle Beach

31st week of the year is family owned for 25+ years. The building is old and tired, but it’s right ON the beach. You fall asleep and wake to the sounds of the ocean. Big deck with a very clean pool. It’s far from the crowded beaches and has ONE hotel right next door with a lifeguard on duty, and a dining room if you don’t want to get in your car! It’s quiet and personal and memorable, each and every year. OH! The parking is difficult but it’s there and an elevator has been built!

Ocean Forest Colony is a timeshare property, and we have owned three weeks there for many years. If the units are not being used by their owners, they are available to rent. There is no on-site management–check-in is at the Beach House resort down the street. Ocean Forest Colony is the best oceanfront location on the beach. On the right are protected dunes, on the left is the Island Vista resort and then private homes, so the beach is never crowded. There are only 12 apartments, 4 on each floor, each with two bedrooms, two baths, and a full kitchen. There is a swimming pool but no other amenities (other than that big, beautiful ocean at your doorstep which is the only amenity we need), so if you are into staying at a high rise with an indoor water park, lazy river, hot tub, restaurant, etc., and having to climb over wall-to-wall bodies to get to the water, don’t stay here! There is a beach bar at Island Vista where you can walk to for a pina colada and other summer drinks.

The units are clean, comfortable, quiet, and decorated in a cheerful beachy style, The master bedroom has a king bed with en-suite bath, the second bedroom has two twins, and there is a sofa bed in the living room. There is also a brand-new elevator making the building accessible to those with disabilities. Another reviewer commented about the lack of parking–that is because this a timeshare property, not a “resort,” and therefore does not provide for 25 of your closest friends and family. There is a dedicated space for each unit, two visitor spaces, and a handicapped space. There is no smoking in the building, on the balconies, or at the pool.

Again, I want to emphasize that this is not a fancy upscale resort, but my family and I would never want to stay anywhere else. We love it here.

Forest Colony is an outstanding place and location. Easy and excellent beach access and not crowded. Minor renovations both inside and out. The parking is barely adequate & could use a change and renovation on the three sheltered areas which can only accommodate smaller vehicles. They should be designated as visitor parking. Overall I would rate this place a 4.5 scale of 5 and would go back again.

This place doesn’t have many bells or whistles but is very quiet and a great place to relax with my wife and kids. I’ll be back for sure. While there are a lot of big, super resorts in Myrtle Beach, this place is quiet and more personal and can be whatever you want it to be.

This is a great place to stay! Quiet, private, and right on the beach. We stayed in 1A and I felt as if I could reach out and touch the ocean from the king bed in the matter bedroom. There’s a small outdoor pool. There’s a small park across the street. Walkable streets. This is a hidden gem in a residential area that is close to all the attractions.
