South Beach Resort

The resort and its setting

South Beach Resort sits at 8400 Costa Verde Dr in the Grande Dunes area of Myrtle Beach, one of the more polished pockets of this Horry County beach town. It's a Holiday Inn Club Vacations resort, so units are typically full suites or villas rather than hotel rooms, built with longer stays and family groups in mind. Guests rate it 4.5 out of 5 from over 3,300 Google reviews, and Google's own summary highlights its beach access, on-site dining and a bar, two pools, and a gym that's open around the clock. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a week of doing nothing on the sand or a family trip packed with activities.

Myrtle Beach and things to do

Myrtle Beach needs little introduction — it's one of the US East Coast's biggest beach destinations, with over 60 miles of Grand Strand coastline, a huge choice of golf courses, and a steady supply of shows, outlet shopping, mini-golf and seafood restaurants. The Grande Dunes neighbourhood, where South Beach Resort is located, sits on the quieter, more residential north end of town, within easy reach of Broadway at the Beach and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, but far enough from the main strip to feel a bit more settled in the evenings. Golfers in particular tend to gravitate here, given the concentration of courses nearby.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at South Beach Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters browsing the platform, and interested parties contact you directly through the site. Sellers pay a small one-time listing fee and there's no commission taken on the sale, so whatever you agree with a buyer is what you keep.

A few things specific to Holiday Inn Club Vacations ownership are worth knowing before you price a week here. The company does not publish a resale transfer fee — the $1,200-per-contract figure sometimes quoted on its own Horizons page is an exit fee for owners handing a deed back to the company, not a fee for transferring a sale to a private buyer. Owners have also reported, on forums such as TUG and RedWeek, that Holiday Inn Club Vacations retains a right of first refusal on resales, meaning the company can in some cases step in and match a sale before it completes. Typical transfer times aren't published either, so buyers and sellers should ask Holiday Inn Club Vacations directly what to expect once a sale is agreed.

One point that matters a great deal for South Beach Resort specifically: owners report that resale points generally revert to a fixed, deeded week once sold — except at three resorts, one of which is South Beach. That means a resale buyer here may be able to keep flexible points usage rather than being converted to a set week, which isn't the case at most other Holiday Inn Club resorts. South Beach Resort weeks also sit within the RCI exchange network, which buyers may want to factor into their decision if they plan to trade rather than always stay in Myrtle Beach.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters searching for a week at South Beach Resort are usually after straightforward things: confirmed dates, a unit size that fits the group, and clarity on what's included — pool and gym access, parking, any resort fees. Buyers should ask the current owner for the annual maintenance fee, confirm the unit type and usage pattern (fixed week, floating week or points), and check directly with Holiday Inn Club Vacations on the right-of-first-refusal process and any current transfer paperwork or fee before finalising a price.
