Hello, My family is planning a trip to Myrtle Beach in June and we were looking for a place to rent on the beach that allows pets. Is there such a place?

I am trying to set up a senior beach trip for me and some of my high school friends. We decided to go to Myrtle Beach, SC. I am seeking information on houses in close proximity of the beach, site attractions, and clubs that allow teenagers to attend. Any other information I can receive would be greatly appreciated. We intend to go to Myrtle Beach June 21/22 to June 28/29, 2003. We also desire the Northside of Myrtle Beach. Thanks

A great house to stay in at North Myrtle Beach is called Crescent One. One block from the beach in North Myrtle. Pets are allowed as well. It had three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Great for families.. You can rent it through Century 21 I believe it is available for monthly rentals as well....Have fun. Not expensive either.

We travel to Myrtle Beach and stay for at least 3 months during the winter time. We have stayed at many hotels but have found that The Palace Resort if by far the best. The resort has a restaurant/lounge, heated enclosed pools, a attached parking garage, and everything is enclosed where you do not have to walk out into the weather unless you want to. We also enjoy eating at Sara J's in Garden City and golfing at the TPC in Merrills Inlet. Good Luck.. Hope this Helped

Hi, Just returned from a four night stay at Sandcastle Beach South Resort and thought it was great. It is a great time to go - uncrowded pool area and uncrowded beach. Nice weather and mostly seniors, families with young children and couples. Tropical Storm Isidore threatened to ruin our stay but the rain mostly stayed away! We had lovely weather in the lower 80's. Sandcastle was clean, the rooms were nice (not elegant) and the staff were fine. All the rooms have an oceanfront balcony! The housekeeping staff were prompt every morning - usually banging on our door between 9 am and 10 am. They have two nice pools and 3 hot tubs and a lazy river. All were clean - the pools were a little warm, but I guess it is fall even though the weather is warm. They had a great internet rate through their website and the price was great. We would stay there again. We have stayed at other places in MB that we would not go to again, but Sandcastle was fine. Try burgers at River City Cafe - very good hamburgers for a reasonable price. Voted best burgers on the beach.

Sept. 2002 - My wife and I have been staying at the OCEAN PARK Resort since 1986 and have always had a wonderful vacation experience. We usually stay in one of the 1-bedroom executive suite end units (#1004) which has windows in the bedroom and living room looking North down the beach. Because we stay on the 10th floor, we have a very panoramic view at night and spectacular sun rises in the mornings! The end units have their own washer and dryer in the room, 2 full sized beds in the bedroom, a Murphy pull down bed in the living room as well as the typical full kitchen. The front desk, maids and maintenance staff have always been very helpful to insure we have the best stay possible. The furniture in the units are constantly being upgraded to insure a pleasant stay. When we last visited, we found a new couch in the living room, a totally renewed bathroom (toilet, light fixtures & wallpaper) as well as new ceramic tile on the floors of the bathroom and kitchen. They just began providing a free continental breakfast, which made those early morning walks on the beach, that much more enjoyable! The Resort has a large indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi in addition to 2 outdoor pools and a Jacuzzi. The building is next to Hurl Rock Park and the Spring Garden restaurant is just a few blocks away on Ocean Blvd. I recommend anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing stay in Myrtle Beach to consider OCEAN PARK. Their prices are very reasonable and their hospitality will keep you coming back year after year! Feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Well, here I go again, packing up to drive 20 hrs. to Myrtle Beach. It's a LONG DRIVE , but I consider it well worth it. To be able to walk in the surf and feel the salt air and warm temperatures, longing for the opportunity to move here, reeling in aspiration that the sight of a dolphin can give. .. it's worth it. As I drive I can imagine what I will be digging up when I take my metal detector for it's daily stroll. I usually see diamonds and gold, but know they are elusive. Maybe I'll be lucky, one more time. The sight of a gold ring in the scoop, brings excitement and joy each time. The salt water that corrodes the newly minted coins, does wonders for my legs and I feel exhilarated as I will make my way down the beach once more. I see (me) , exhausted , and sun burnt , as the day draws to a close, I make my way back to the room I have feverishly sought out for location and price , waiting to empty my pouch of it's contents of newly lost treasure. Hopefully, A cold beer will help me keep my cool while I count my treasures and wait for the morning sun. I will be out at sunrise .. I hear a horn : sorry , my fault . The green sign says;; Myrtle Beach , 500 miles . !! I'm only 500 hundred miles away from my Dream Home.

A friend of mine goes to myrtle beach twice a year so I figured I'd tag along to see what s.c was all about. I called up my friend Annette to go. Well Annette and I went a couple days after my friend heather. We followed heather's directions exactly. Well my friend Annette wrote down the condo phone number wrong so we couldn't get in touch with anyone. And to top it off no one we ask in
s.c. knew what a condo was (never knew a condo was called a plantation) and to make matters worse we had to sleep in a food lion parking lot until the next morning. Heather made us feel better by taking us to dick's last resort. What a place. I recommend it to anyone who wants a laugh. But if you do go just don't try and insult them too much. If you do you'll probably get what we did. A bib, a hat, and a lot of insults. All I did was call the waitress by name and then when she answered I said just checking for
xxxxx. Who would have known she would be so sensitive. I give my first trip to
s.c. an a+. So if you're looking for a vacation spot myrtle beach is definitely the place to go.

We are looking for a villa (we always stayed at Hilton Head in one of the plantations) where there is golf, bike trails, pool, tennis - if anyone has a villa to rent - Please let us know. We have a 6lb dog - caged at night - doesn't sleep on the bed. Very well behaved. We have references from other owners if needed. My husband is a golf pro and we want to go to Myrtle Beach area Easter of 2003 (April) because our son is attending college near there. We can be close to him and be able to visit him while he is at school. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Help, need advice on where to stay, anyone who has stayed at the following resorts please respond: Grande Shores, Landmark, The Palace, Patricia Grand, Sand Castle South, Ocean Creek, or if you would like to recommend someplace else feel free. Looking for a resort that offers spacious accommodations (2 Bedroom Oceanfront Unit) with large indoor and outdoor pools,
poolbar, Gameroom, nighttime entertainment etc. Any information would be appreciated, this is my first trip to Myrtle Beach, looking to have fun. Leaning towards
Grandeshore, heard it was a new resort. Leaving September 13. Thanks in advance. I am more of a pool person so nice pools are more important than the beach area to me.

I've been to Myrtle Beach twice before, and will be going again in two weeks! My family has always had a great time there, especially at DIXIE STAMPEDE and MEDIVAL TIMES. The food at both places is delicious, though very similiar (roast chicken, potato, soup, pastry, etc.). DIXIE STAMPEDE had unlimited beverages, though, while MEDIVAL TIMES only allowed one refill. The shows at both places were very entertaining. In case you don't know, DIXIE has a friendly North and South rivalry themed show, in which the audience frequently participates. MEDIVAL TIMES is a knight jousting tournament. Silverware is absent from both places, but hot wet napkins are provided at the end of both shows, I believe. A lot of people rave about CAPTAIN BENJAMIN'S and THE ORIGINAL BENJAMIN'S,(we went to the ORIGINAL) but while there was a wide variety of items on the buffet, a lot of it was overcooked, or tough from sitting under warming lights. The overall ambiance was pleasant though. There were aquariums and model ships, and the staff was friendly. The price per adult was something like twenty dollars, not worth it. THE SEA TRAWLER calabash was very good. We ate at THE TEXAS ROADHOUSE one night as well, very good for steak and ribs. As for sight-seeing attractions, we all enjoyed RIPLEY's AQUARIUM. It was small, but packed with fish. There was a very neat glass tunnel full of sharks and things, that you go through on a moving sidewalk. RIPLEY's BELIEVE IT OR NOT MUSEUM was expensive, and not worth the money. LEGENDS IN CONCERT was a very good show. All of the performers looked and sounded almost exactly like the famous people they were impersonating. We saw the Blues Brothers, Elvis, Linda
Ronstadt, and some others. We also saw SPIRIT OF THE DANCE, which was excellent. There were other kinds of dances besides Irish, and had a very good fiddle player. This show didn't really have a plot, but it was very entertaining. As for mini golf, PIRATES COVE was a lot of fun. I recommend going at night, when it isn't so hot and crowded. We went on a couple of boat tours. They were nice, and relaxing, but be sure to slather on the sunscreen! We went parasailing (which was lovely but very costly!) and on banana boat rides (a lot of fun but very bouncy) at SEA DOG PARASAILING. Parasailing is somewhere around eighty dollars for two people (if I remember correctly). You get a nice speedboat ride, and then about fifteen minutes up in the air. THE FAMILY KINGDOM AMUSEMENT PARK was enjoyable, too. I'm writing this is 2002, so it's current!!! Have a nice trip to Myrtle Beach!

My family and I vacationed in Myrtle Beach at the Sea Mist Resort, july of 2002. After reading some of the horror stories over the internet we were very worried as to what to expect. What? The Sea Mist was awesome!! My wife, our 3 kids ages from 8 to 14, and myself had the best beach vacation ever. The oceanfront room in the tides building was wonderful, it was no 5 star room but then again we didn't spend a kings ransom for it. It was well furnished had a quaint atmosphere and was fine. The staff at the Sea Mist were "GREAT". They greeted you always with a friendly smile and were always happy to help you with any question. The water park at the resort was fabulous my kids spent a good part of the day there as well as my wife and I. The family kingdom amusement and waterpark were equally great and admission was free with the family value package offered by Sea Mist. We will be returning to the Sea Mist and my advice to anyone planning to vacation there is don't believe everything you read on the internet. We give the Sea Mist two thumbs up. And would recommend it to everyone with a family. Also the restuarants and ice cream parlors were great. Thanks to the Ammons Family and all the wonderful staff at the Sea Mist, we will be seeing you again in the near future.

My family just returned from our yearly vacation to MB on
8/4/02. Every year we book directly through the resort/hotel that we stay at. Each year we try a different place and have always been pleased with where we staid. This year we tried
Conodlux. What a mistake! The person who took our reserv. was very nice. We stayed at Bay Watch. They just started building the 3rd tower and our room was directly at the construction site. We had to listen to the
constr. noise starting at 7:30 a.m. We called Condolux to see if they could do anything for us. We had to speak to Sandy the office manager. She was the most rude and obnoxious person I ever spoke to. She should not be in a position to deal with the public. Her attitude ruined our vacation. Sandy certainly was not customer friendly. As long as she is running the show there I certainly would not recommend Condolux to anyone. I will say though that the Staff at Bay Watch were wonderful. They go out of their way to make sure you are having a great time. The only thing I did not like was there were not enough loung chairs by the pool. Everything else there was great! Just won't go through Condolux to stay there!

First time to MB and last. Motel was ok. Traffic was worst than Atlanta. Rude, crude and unprofessional lifeguard on stand #32. But the most appalling and assinine thing was no umbrella is allowed on the beach beyond the lifeguard stand and must be 10 ft from one another in a parallel line with the lifeguard stand. This is a real joke to me.
I have been to a lot of beaches and never, ever have I heard of such a law regarding umbrellas not allowed on the beach. I'll stick with the Flordia an Georgia beaches, thank you.

We live in North Carolina and visit Myrtle Beach Often (date - July,2002).
North Myrtle Beach is a little quieter! Love Barefoot Landing - DON'T MISS THE TIGERS - GEMS OF THE JUNGLE. It is without a doubt the Most Wonderful experience! For Shopping don't miss B&B ANTIQUES MALL just north of Barefoot Landing and they are open year round from 9 to 9 (good place to work off your meal)- It is a trip down memory lane. There is definitely something for everyone even a candy shop in back!

Our family havs been vacationing in N. Myrtle Beach for the past three years - taking our daughter, her friend and her mother. The first two times we rented an ocean front through White Realty, and were very pleased. This year we tried something different by staying at the Blue Water Inn. This is a mom and pop operation, and while mom and pop are very nice, the Inn isn't. I made the reservation months ago, asking for two (2) bedrooms, as in two separate rooms. We arrived at the Inn, checked in to our "suite" and found there was only one bedroom with one king sized bed. There wasn't enough room in there to sling a cat, or a pair of shoes! The stove was small as was the counter space. The sink was next to the stove, and getting the dishes to the counter meant dripping water over the stove and floor. There were no closets, as we know them - just a little alcove w/a rod and a few hangers w/an overhead shelf. The sitting area had a king sized sleeper sofa that, when pulled out, left no room to walk around in the room. We did have maid service every day, and on Wednesday's they changed the linens. The pool was cloudy and murky every day. I never saw clear water. And other tenants with children didn't exercise much control over them. I saw kids spitting in the pool. Trying to sit on the deck was a nuisance because we kept getting hit by flying balls and pool toys while the parents just smiled. We won't be going to this facility again.

My family visited the steers calabash restaurant in north myrtle beach on june 22, 2002. When we entered the restaurant i had the coupon book in my hand. We were asked by the hostess how many we had and i said 5 adults and 1 child. At no time were we asked if we had any coupons. When the waitress came to our table i gave her the coupon for a child's buffet free. She said she would give it to the hostess. When we finished our dinner and were ready to pay an older gentleman standing by the woman at the cast register yelled" no coupon " as we approached. I had no idea what he meant, but i told the lady that we had a coupon for one child, which we had given to the waitress. He said we could not use the coupon because we had not said we had it when we entered the restaurant. I explained that no one had asked us and he said the hostess had down that we were asked, but had none. This was not true. I asked if it said on the coupon who to present it to and he said no, but that's was how it was. I told him that I felt it was unfair to treat patrons in that way. He asked me where the child was and I pointed out my 10 year old daughter. He said it wouldn't work anyway because she was over the 4 and one half feet rule! The people behind me laughed because the whole thing was so ridiculous. I again asked him where the 4 1/2 feet requirement was posted and he told me nowhere. This is just a warning to those of you headed to the beach to not make the same mistake we did. (the food was not especially good either.)

We are looking for a beach house in Myrtle Beach, S.C. (or in that general vicinity) that accomodates 4 for next summer (2003) which will allow pets. We have a Jack Russell Terrier, very well behaved, housebroken, and would be willing to pay extra for him to come along. Does anyone know of anywhere?

We are looking for rental units that allow dogs. We would like to rent for the months of Feb. and March of 2003. We are very responsible pet owners. Please let me know if you know of any in the North Myrtle Beach area, as that is where we vacation each year and know the area. Thank you. Sincerely, Linda Morehouse

Myrtle Beach trip, June 26-29, 2002 We just returned from a trip to Myrtle Beach and stayed at The Paradise Inn. We have stayed at older hotels and have never encountered the problems we had on this stay. We checked into three hotel rooms within three nights at this hotel... The first room had a horrible odor.. something between vomit and rotten milk and there was reminants of food, coke cans and wrappers under the bed. We complained and got a bottle of Lysol from the office. The Lysol cleared the air for about five minutes. They moved us to another room that didn't have an efficiency but an efficiency would be available the following night. The following night we were to be moved back to an efficiency. The office gave us a room number and said it would be clear in ten minutes. We moved all our stuff only to find out that the room wasn't even clear of the people staying in it. Then they told us to move up about three levels. As we're gathering up our stuff once again, we're told to go to a different room, which turned out to be ocean front. The cleanest room so far. There was a garbage can outside our door and it was left overflowing and smelling. I complained to the office. Then the trash was strewn down the steps. The next day it smelled like someone left a rotting fish in the can and I complained once again. Long story short, we thought we booked four nights and we get a call in the middle of the day saying we were supposed to be checked out... that was the final straw and we packed our bags and fled the Atlantic "Parasite" Inn. Stay away from this place!!

I am a single mom on a budget who wants to visit MB in early August. Can anyone suggest a nice, clean hotel
preferably on the beach but across the street would be fine, that is inexpensive - perhaps in the $45 - $65 a night range. I am traveling with my 3 teens. I would also need a kitchen
preferably with a microwave & frig. We have considered the Carolina House and and it's companion hotel in NMB. The rates were good but does anyone know anything about the accommodations. Thanks so much for your help.

6/21/02 Highly recommended!!!! Stay at the Holiday Inn at Coquina Harbor in Little River, SC for a great Myrtle Beach vacation. It is a relaxing, CLEAN, NEW hotel. It overlooks a beautiful marina and features a boardwalk. I was a little apprehensive at first because it seemed far from the action. However, it is only 3 miles to a very uncrowded beach - Cherry Grove. What a nice surprise! Also, it is only about 6 miles to Calabash,NC - the seafood capital of the world. We went there one night for dinner. There is probably 15 seafood buffets to chose from for only $11.95 all you can eat. Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach attractions are only about 15 minutes from Little River so we didn't miss anything. What was really nice about this hotel was their complementary afternoon homemade chocolate chip cookies and lemonade. I am a teacher, and thus, have to be very budget conscious so the Holiday Inn was an excellent choice for us. Kids 12 and under eat all meals free at Holiday Inn so we saved a lot of money on breakfasts, and had some dinners there, too. It was good food and a friendly staff. I couldn't have afforded all the attractions like the Pavilion, Ripley's Aquarium, Alligator Farm, Nascar SpeedPark, Medieval Times, outlet mall shopping, and the Dixie Stampede without this substantial savings and restful nights' sleep!

We go to M.B. every year. We stay at the Sand Castles, South. It's the best!
I love to eat at Granny's Kitchen. It has the best breakfast buffet in town and
their prices are just right for your everyday budget. My favorite place to go is
Rilpley's aquarium. I love to walk through the tunnel and have the fish swim all
around me. And I like to try to feed the stingrays. I also like to eat at NASCAR
Cafe. It's a liitle high priced, but the food is great. And if you're a NASCAR
fan it's the place to go. You never know what you might find in their store and
the prices vary on the NASCAR items.

Hi Folks! I have been going to Myrtle Beach since I was a little girl, I'm 46
now and it is still the best place to vacation for me. There is a new seafood
place in Surfside called Crabby Mike's to go eat seafood. It is a bit pricey @
$25 each person but all you can eat. If you love Oysters , you have to visit the
place in Murrell's Inlet called Nance's. They have the best oysters I ever had.
Flea Market people take heed to the best indoor Flea Market in Myrtle Beach is
on the south side of town on your way to Surfside. It is on the right and they
have tons of everything there. For the absolutely best Pecan pie you ever had in
your life go to the shop inside of Waccamaw shopping. I always get one to bring
back home with me. I have stayed at the Grand Strand Motel for years and would
highly recommend it to any family or single. They are a great Family owned Motel
and have a hot tub, lazy river and nice pool not to mention discount tickets to
attractions and have their own website so you can check it out. Have a fantastic
vacation wherever you are hailing from. Thanks- Susan :)

Not so pleasant experience w/Patricia Grand. Upon check-in, we were told they
did not receive our reservation, then told us they lost our reservation after we
produced a confirmation number. Then blamed the on-line booking system. Not very
helpful. Did not have a room available (our anniversary). Ended up staying in
their sister "resort", Carolinian. Believe me, this is not a resort by
any stretch of the imagination. PGR needs some work on customer service and
facility maintenance (at the latter).

Hello all. Myself, my girlfriend, her sister, brother in law, brother, and my
brother are all going to MB on 6/3/02 and coming back on the 7th. We're planning
on staying at David's Landing. There isn't much on the net about this place,
it's just the cheapest I could find. Has anyone stayed there/know anything about
it? I'm kinda leary about staying at a place for $45 a night, because too often
you end up getting what you pay for. I've read some of the horror stories about
staying in hotels for twice that price, so I hope it's a nice place to stay. If
you have stayed there, or know about it, please email me because I've got a few
more questions, I'm just kinda in a hurry right now (at work). Thanks for your
time.

I have been visiting Myrtle Beach for the past two years, and will be
returning 5/31/02. We stay at a condo called th Anchorage, and it is awesome.
You can sit on your balcony and watched the ocean, or cross the street and lay
on the beach. I love going to Medieval Times, and Broadway on the Beach. You
will never run out of things to do. The Pavilion is very happening also, but the
strip is always so crowded with young kids showing off thier daddy's cars. There
are also alot of buffets to choose from. My favorite is Captain Benjamin's. The
food and hospitality is excellent there!

last year . Everyone had a real blast. We stayed at the holiday sands south . It
was clean, the people were friendly, there was enough to keep all interested.
The ages were 9, 11, 16,17 and 19. We were there to enjoy the beach, not
anything else. To see the ocean. The weather was wonderful and it could not of
beeen nicer. The south end of myrtle beach is for families and the closer to the
pavilion you get the more teenage
stuff goes on. Mine didnt like that end when we travel we dont get very hungry
so we only eat one meal, and we didnt know where to eat out at. Hopefully we can

We have been staying at the Yachtsman Resort for the past 10-12 years. The only reason we do is that we have family that are timeshare owners there. Believe me, if we had to pay to stay there, we would stay somewhere else! It is convenient to the beach, rides, etc. but is overpriced and not kept up very well. The furniture looks like something from the fifties. They rarely have a matched set of silver, glassware and we even had to ask last year to get a decent frying pan to cook in. The TV in the living room is old, and in a armoire so that you can only watch it if there is enough room on the sofa to sit. The parking is rediculas. It's across the street and they tell you that there's 24 hour security. Hey, but guess what! There's not!!!!!!! The security people act as if they have a chip on their shoulder or are too good to answer or help you with any problems. The activities dept is a JOKE! They are supposed to have all these things to do but @ what they call the ""Owners Party"" on Monday night we were served hot dogs (nothing but mustard, ketchup, pickle relish to go on them) and hamburgers (the same) and stale potato chips of which you had to get a chip to be served and depending on the color of the chip determined how long you will wait in line. The entertainment was also ""really a nice one"". Don't get me wrong, it's better than staying at the Comet Motor Inn about 6-7 blocks over, but nothing is as the RCI exchange books and the advertisements say. My family pays a good amount for each of the weeks they own -each year. I've heard them say time and time again -that if they could do it over- they would never buy the timeshare unit thru the Yachtsman Resort. We have exchanged and stayed in some really nice and deserving resorts but this one should be taken out of the RCI exchange book! Please, if you're looking for a nice place to stay at Myrtle Beach please consider the places like the Sands Ocean Clubs, The Reefs Resort and some of the other Very Nice Places. That way you want be disappointed when coming to the beach. If I can help you with any other info, feel free to e-mail me

I have found some hotels but they want an adult to go, and none of my friends or I want an adult to come with us because we don't adult supervision. My parents are going to pay for the hotel, and they know that we are going. I just need some help finding a hotel that will rent us. And a hotel that is near all the action.

This is long, but for anyone who wants to have a more detailed description about the Sea Mist resort - this is it! Our family of five traveled from Ontario, Canada, to stay at the Sea Mist Oceanfront Resort, July 22-29,2001. We were on the Family Value Package deal which included free daily passes to the Family Kingdom Amusement Park and Oceanfront
Waterpark. This was a big hit with our three boys and this is what made our stay here worthwhile. The Sea Mist resort is quite large and spans both sides of South Ocean Blvd. It appears as if they bought our numerous hotels to create this resort. The resort boasts 17 pools. Being so large and spread out, we only saw six! We stayed in the Spray Building on the ocean side of Ocean Blvd. Our room was a bit run down and included a King-size bed, pull-out murphy bed, kitchenette and in-room safe. Our patio backed onto a driveway, so the view was nothing spectacular. Being on the ground floor, our patio was merely a dirt flowerbed. The patio chairs were always covered in dirt and so were not much use. The microwave was situated on a table and the cord was too short to reach the outlet. Since the table was fastened to the wall, we had to place the microwave on a chair in order to plug it in. It seemed as if the door to our room was paper thin as we could hear everything through it. Each morning around 7:00 a.m. we were awakened to the loud chatter of the housekeeping staff who congregated out in the hall to talk and laugh and have a good time socializing at the expense of our sleep) before starting work sometime after 7:30 a.m. The Sea Mist has an on-site waterpark and large Little Tikes playground. (Note that the playground is situated inside the waterpark and so is only opened during the waterparks hours of operation. I can't remember the exact time that it closed, but I think it was 5:00 p.m.). Being on the Family Value Package deal, entrance to the on-site waterpark was Free - otherwise it would cost 2:00/person. The waterpark was on the other side of Ocean Blvd. Crossing the street can be quite a challenge due to heavy traffic. There is an underground tunnel (the walls are painted to look like an aquarium), which for safety reasons, the Resort recommends you take, but it requires climbing up and down numerous steps - which is a real inconvenience if you have a stroller! We were glad that our room was located on the Ocean side. It would have been a real hassle to carry pails, shovels, boogie boards, rafts, blankets, beach
umbrella...etc..to the beach plus cross busy Ocean Blvd. with 3 young kids! The beach in front of the resort was very nice. Nice wide sandy area and big waves. You can bring along your own beach umbrella and chairs or rent them from the lifeguards for a fee. Upon arrival, the Activities Desk took a family picture. This is taken in another building where the Arcade is located{behind the on-site
waterpark). This photo is used as your pass to get into the Family Kingdom Amusement Park (which opened at 4:00 p.m. after the heat of the day) and Oceanfront Waterpark (which closed at 6:00 p.m.), located about 1 1/2miles away. When you arrive at the front gate, they simply look you up on the computer to see if your faces match to the photo taken. Both the Amusement Park and Waterpark had a special entrance for Sea Mist guests. It was great to be able to walk up to the front of the lineups to enter the parks. Parking was a problem at the Resort. There is not nearly enough parking on the Ocean side - so your chances of getting a spot near your building is minimal. There is a parking garage on the other side of Ocean Blvd., behind the on-site
waterpark, where you end up parking your car. My husband often dropped me and the boys off at our building, with any packages, then went over to the parking garage to park the car and walk back again! Our stay here included one free buffet breakfast at Teena's restaurant, which is located in the building next to the front desk. There was a good selection of food and it was good, however it was busy and there were line-ups at the buffet tables. The people at the Activities desk were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Your could book a show or outing
ie: Medieval Times/Ripley's Aquarium from the Activities Desk and have it charged to your room. We bought tickets to attend a Caribbean festival and dinner at the hotel but due to rain in the afternoon, it was cancelled. Upon check-out, we were still charged for this event, however they deducted this amount from our bill without any hassles. We did have daily maid service and they kept the room clean. The kiddie's pool is also very nice. It included a dinosaur slide, small waterslide and a rain tree. If you decide to stay at the Sea Mist, it is recommended that you make reservations. Even though it is a large resort with many different rooms and room types available, they were completely filled up during our stay here.

My family travels to Myrtle Beach every year in April. We normally stay at The Beach Cove. This year with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we forgot to make our reservation - we usually reserve in November and now they are sold out. Can someone recommend a comparable place to stay? We are looking for a three bedroom condo with full kitchen, oceanfront preferably in North Myrtle Beach. Please email me at
aja5678@aol.com. Thank you.
