Scene

Relaxed beachfront resort with secluded location

Scene Island Vista

Island Vista Resort is a large, feature-packed resort with a secluded location along a quiet stretch of beach. The 12-story, family-run hotel has casual and homely interiors. The lobby features rich colors and dark lighting, with tiled floors, wooden wall coverings, wooden furniture, and antique furnished lounges. The main restaurant, Cypress Room, has a southern-style feel with light wooden furniture, white-clothed tables, and mood lighting. The Tiki Bar, on the other hand, is a more casual straw hut next to the outdoor pool with tiki-themed decor. The oceanfront pool areas are a highlight here, with the outdoor pool area featuring stunning beach views with ample space to relax on the sun loungers and day beds. The indoor pool area is calm and relaxing, with the chilled out Lazy River passing through. Overall, the atmosphere is relaxed with a fun vacation vibe during high season. Guests here are mostly leisure travelers, with groups and families particularly enjoying the larger suites.

It's a nine-minute drive to the famous Myrtle Beach SkyWheel.
