Pet-Friendly Ocean Park Resort Gets Two Paws Up

Reviewed by Ashley of ReserveDirect.comAre you the type of traveler who likes to vacation with their pets?  If so, I have the perfect place for you to stay in Myrtle Beach – the Ocean Park Resort.  The resort has comfortable yet affordable accommodations and also recently earned the ranking of the #3 pet-friendly hotel in the nation, giving it a thumbs up (and paws up) from its travelers.   


Some of the reasons the Ocean Park Resort has received such a high ranking is for their pet-friendly price point.  For only $15 a night, guests can have their furry friends at their side while they enjoy all that Myrtle Beach offers.  They also have on-site dog-grooming services, including pet’icure, teeth brushing and custom cut and style services.  Plus, there is a pet potty area, outfitted with anti-bacterial synthetic grass, on the first floor parking deck of the hotel that is stocked with doggie bags. A park is also located next door, perfect for walking your pet.  There are pet policies guests must follow, all of which you can find in our Ocean Park Resort FAQ section.

One of the hardest parts about traveling with a pet is finding a hotel that is not only pet-friendly, but has quality accommodations for humans as well.  Thankfully, at Ocean Park Myrtle Beach their units are clean, value-friendly rooms that provide all of the amenities and comforts one looks for while on vacation.  There are three room types to choose from – Oceanfront One Bedroom, Ocean View Standard and Oceanfront Efficiency – all of which feature a private balcony.  The oceanfront rooms are equipped with full kitchens (upgraded kitchens available in the one bedroom units), with the ocean view units equipped with microwave and fridge.  Both unit types have flat screen televisions, with the Oceanfront One Bedroom unit featuring a second flat screen TV in the bedroom.  The linens and bedding were high quality and restful, and the case goods in-room, as well as bathrooms, were standard but in good condition. 
One of the highlights of a vacation at Ocean Park Resort Myrtle Beach are their property amenities.  They include a spacious oceanfront sundeck, heated indoor pool, outdoor pool, kiddie pool and hot tub, and direct access to the beach.  The pools all sparkled clean, too.  My absolute favorite amenity was the oceanfront sundeck equipped with rocking chairs.  It was a wonderful place to greet the morning and, if you wake up early enough, to enjoy a gorgeous sunrise over the ocean.  The additional green space, outfitted with lounge chairs, also created a nice oasis for soaking up the sun and relaxing.

Overall, I would recommend Ocean Park Resort to not only travelers with pets but to travelers looking for a quality place to stay.   

Note:  As an Ocean Park Resort guest, you guest you have free access to Wild Water and Wheels, a sixteen-acre park filled with 24 slides, lazy river, lagoons, and more that is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
