According to MyrtleBeach.com, there is often confusion among visitors about accommodations in Myrtle Beach labeled as 'Oceanfront' vs. those mentioned as 'Ocean View.' The difference is that oceanfront rooms face the ocean and offer the best views of the Atlantic Ocean and coastline while 'Ocean View' rooms can be any room which offers even the slightest view of the ocean from the side or corner of a hotel building. While not always meant to be deceiving the term 'Ocean View' can mean a variety of things while 'oceanfront' generally means the view is unobstructed and that you’ll be paying a slightly higher cost for that access.
