Sunny Cove is my favorite hotel in S.C. Its location and beach access 😎 are perfect. Across the street, you can find the best tamales, and Starbucks is just around the corner. It feels safe, and Jane is available to help at any moment.

Lovely hotel in a lovely little coastal town. It has everything you expect from a boutique hotel: customer orientation, attention to details, cozy atmosphere... The location is great, the building is looking good. You basically have the beach near you. Also the pier is even closer.

    Location is perfect by the beach- just cross one road and you are on the boardwalk! Parking inside a courtyard felt safe and was easy (15 USD). Our room faced the poolarea. The pool is quite small, but children liked it. Firepit at night was cool. Complementary coffee in the morning, iceshavings in the afternoon and popcorn at night was a nice surprise. Comfortable beds and a wonderful & big bathroom. The hotel has a laundryroom - big plus for those on a longer trip!

    We had a double queen overlooking the beach and ocean - it was an amazing view. Lovely hotel, fabulous pool area with direct access to the beach and volleyball courts. Right next to the pier and boardwalk. Décor of the room was fun and stayed with the surfing theme Valet parking was on $5 more than self parking - so why wouldn't you?

    The hotel is very clean and modern. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was good. Our room was very spacious and clean with two queen beds and a sofa seating area. We enjoyed having a balcony too. The hotel is in a nice quiet location but only a short walk from all the fun. The hotel has secure parking. I would recommend this hotel.
