Welcome to Gentle Tides, your oceanfront home base at one of North Myrtle Beach’s most loved resorts, Avista. Perched on the 11th floor, this condo gives you front-row views of the Atlantic and a stay that feels easy from the moment you arrive.



This is the kind of place families come back to year after year. Mornings start with coffee on the balcony watching the waves roll in, afternoons are spent at the beach or pool just steps away, and evenings are for gathering together without feeling rushed or crowded.



Everything about this stay is meant to feel simple and reliable. You’ll have direct access to the beach, shared resort pools, and the convenience of parking in an attached garage with elevator access. When you’re ready to explore, Main Street’s restaurants, shops, and local favorites are just a short, easy walk away.



Gentle Tides is a place where you don’t have to overthink anything. You settle in, enjoy your time together, and leave feeling like you chose well.

Frequently-Asked Questions:

• Are there any hidden fees? Absolutely not. There are no required 'surprise' costs or resort fees. What you pay when you book is all you will pay for your stay. We can connect you with local partners to rent beach chairs/umbrella/beach towel/baby furniture rentals, which can be delivered prior to your arrival. Message us for more information.


• Do we have to bring bath towels and linens or rent them at an extra cost? Absolutely not! Bath towels and linens are included, and your departure cleaning fee includes laundering of those items.


• Is parking included? Yes, parking is free for two cars. You will receive two parking passes per unit rented, which is limited by the HOA. We receive limited numbers of parking passes and then we have to purchase them. Please don't write on it and return it to the unit before you leave to avoid a replacement charge. (Note: Motorcycles, golf carts, and trailers are not allowed at this property; please make alternate parking arrangements.)


• Are pool armbands required? Yes, armbands are required to enter the pool area and are provided at check in at the front desk.


• Can I bring coolers onto the pool deck? Unfortunately, bringing coolers into the pool deck is prohibited by the resort; however, you can take coolers onto the beach.

• Do you allow pets? Unfortunately, pets are not allowed at this resort per our HOA bylaws.


• Can I smoke in the unit or on the balcony? NO. Smoking is strictly forbidden in this unit and on the balcony - no exceptions. It is very costly to have a service remove smoking odors - especially in the short time between guests. If we need to have the unit treated because of the smell of smoke, we will hold your entire security deposit to cover the cost.


• Are there pots/pans/dishes? Yes, the kitchen is equipped with all of the basic items needed for cooking/eating.


• Do you provide food, condiments, coffee filters, etc.? No, this is a self-catering unit, and you will need to provide all food.
