Anchorage II

Have been holding family reunions every other year at the Anchorage II since 1989. Each year the number of units we rent grows and this year we were at 15 condos. Hands down a fantastic location, very quiet and the beach is just 100 feet away. Beach is great, private for Anchorage II guests and the ocean is always warm. Nice private pool when you get too hot at the ocean or just need a relaxing dip. The N. 57^th street location is perfect to go south into busy Myrtle Beach or north to North Myrtle Beach.
Most units are nice and have been undated over the years with new kitchens and baths. What you see on their web site is an example of a nice condo. However, there are still a few units that are original and have had little or no upgrades like condo unit 304. They charge the same price for 304 as they do for a nice unit. I would highly suggest asking about the condo quality and what upgrades have been made over the years because if not you will pay the same for lesser quality.
The only other issue our family had was the WiFi didn’t work very well and I am being kind. You could connect but not be able to get web pages to come up or if they did if would take a few minutes like you were back in the 1990’s. It is my understanding they are trying to get this corrected.
Overall a great place to bring your family. I would provide a 4 or 5 stars but every 2 years we seem to get a few condo units that are lower quality than the rest. The Foster’s who handle the rentals are very nice people and provide good service. However, they continue to handle a few condo’s that don’t meet the quality they advertise.
Enjoy!

Best place to stay in Myrtle Beach!

I don’t know who would be more qualified to write a review at the Anchorage II than myself. We have been coming down to the Anchorage for 30 years. We missed a few years in there but our first stay was in 1983. Its now 2013 and we just returned from there again.
Let me start with location. Its pretty much in the middle of Myrtle and North Myrtle in the «Ocean Forest» area of Myrtle Beach. You are hidden away from all the chaos Myrtle Beach. Very little traffic and close to everything. The beach is just a walk across the street. The Anchorage has a private beach access with 2 large gazebos.
The atmosphere is VERY family oriented. Like i said before, my family has been coming down since i was 6 years old. I now bring my two children down every year. The layout of the condos is in the shape of a U and the pool is in the center. One thing that i find as a major bonus is that there is a lot of grassy areas to play Frisbee or whatever. Parking is never a problem and there are 2 elevators as well as wheelchair accessible ramps. There is about 50 – 60 units so there isn’t a ton of people and some of those units are private and never rented out. The landscaping is beautiful and kept up very well.
There is free wireless internet available everywhere, including the pool.
The interior of the condos are excellent. Each one is privately owned and has its own decorating style. we have stayed in several different units over the years. The first two floors are 2 bedroom units with 2 full baths. The third floor has 3 bedroom /​2 Bath condos (with a 4^th floor loft bedroom with its own balcony). The 3^rd bedroom is like a loft. It has half walls so you can look down into the dining area (not very private). Each unit has the standard kitchen, dining area, washer/​dryer, dishwasher, and living area with TV (I think most have updated LCD TV mounted on the wall). I believe most of the units have a sofa which folds out into an extra bed. The condo we stayed at had 4 LCD TVs in the family room and bedrooms. One thing to remember, you need to bring dish washing soap, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. Its just like moving into an apartment for a week.
There’s isn’t a restaurant or bar located on the premises, BUT in the Forest Dunes resort (a 60 second walk away) next door has a little place to relax (they even have trivia on Thursday evenings which my family found quite fun). We have walked over there for lunch in the past and the food was pretty decent, plus they have a full bar.
Lastly, the price for this condos is excellent compared to what other places charge. we have strayed from the anchorage a few times in the past and nothing in the area compares to this place.
Oh, one more thing. Again this depends on the owners of the condo, but most condos have an outside locker where the owners put their own beach chairs and floatation devices (body boards, noodles, skim boards, etc) for guests to use at the beach or pool. Some units we’ve stayed in had their own huge beach umbrellas to use.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this place. I’ll answer them the best I can.

I have stayed at the Anchorage II for 15 years now. It is the only place I would consider staying in Myrtle Beach. The Fosters take such good care of their properties and have so many beautiful condos. Their website is
Looking forward to my summer vacation!
