The Bay Watch Resort and Conference Center is a large three building complex of condominium rentals, each with at least a partial view of the ocean. It is located on South Myrtle Beach Boulevard in a section of town called Crescent Beach, which is family friendly. This resort became a smoke free facility in January of 2009.
Bay Watch has one, two, and three bedroom condos available as vacation rentals. Each condo has private bedrooms, a balcony, kitchen, washer and dryer. The condos are meant to accommodate six to ten guests. The kitchen holds a full refrigerator, dish washer, oven and microwave. Living spaces include a television, DVD/VCR player and a dining set. Jacuzzis are available in some, but not all, of the rental condos at Bay Watch. Internet access is also available but not in every condo and it is not wireless.
These amenities are available for almost all of the condos and a chart indicating which specific condos do not have them can be found at the resort's website. Linens are provided and condos are cleaned after a guest leaves. Units that do not have a washer and a dryer are provided with fresh towels every day.
Each tower in the Bay Watch Resort complex has its own water amenities on an oceanfront sun deck. Hot tubs, an indoor and outdoor lazy river, three indoor and three outdoor pools, two kiddie pools and a shallow pool with a fountain are some of the water opportunities. The resort also has a fitness room with cardio equipment and weight machines while a game room has video games. A convenience store and gift shop is also on resort premises.
Space is available for group events as well. Meetings or conferences, weddings, and banquets are some of the groups the resort is prepared to accommodate. There is a main ballroom, several conference rooms and a long balcony or deck. Bay Watch Resort employs a staff to help in the event planning process.
There are three major dining options at the Bay Watch Resort. The Blue Room Caf, is the most upscale of the three and offers signature entrees and seafood, including bourbon steak and crab cakes. Fishtails Beach Bar is more casual and provides live entertainment and special events with burgers and hot dogs. The Sandtrap Bar and Grill has happy hour specials and televisions for sports viewing.
Bay Watch resort is a little further from Myrtle Beach life than some resorts. Past guests have said it is not very near downtown Myrtle Beach or Broadway at the Beach. Management is quick to respond to and explain away negative reviews on TripAdvisor, which ranks Bay Watch Resort in the top fifteen of sixty North Myrtle Beach hotels. Although the resort was built in the early 2000s there are many comments of the rundown appearance of Bay Watch Resort.
Bay Watch Resort is owned and operated by Elliott Beach Rentals. The same company also maintains other Myrtle Beach properties such as Avista Oceanfront Resort, Laguna Keyes, and Sunrise Pointe. Elliott Beach Rentals has taken it upon them to give this resort a B rating.
