Oh, gosh, Baylovers, I have never stepped foot in any of those places either. You may be able to narrow it down based on your friends location preference. Berkshire Forest, Arrowhead Pointe, and Windsor Green are all off the ocean. Schooner Beach & Racquet Club is quite a distance from your location (The Verandas is even further), so if they plan on visiting you often that may not be the best choice. Myrtle Beach resort would be the closest to you, but only the Renaissance Tower and two other low rises are oceanfront (I think). That being said, they have a lot of
amenities to keep everyone happy. Holiday Towers isn't oceanfront either, at least I don't think it is, but is just a little south of the boardwalk so that might be an attraction. That leaves Beach Club at Montego which is even further south on S. Ocean Blvd., not my personal favorite place to be, but I think they are oceanfront. So, I have been, officially, no help at all.

I hope someone else has more useful information for you.
