A nice place to try at the beach is the Avista Resort. We will be staying there this October. It is modern with nice amenities. I have also noticed that a number of older resorts are demolishing the older buildings and putting up new high rises. Watch in the near future for them.

I am looking for information on places to stay in Myrtle Beach for the summer. I plan on working there and I need information on monthly rental places at a descent price, and hopefully some that are pet friendly as well. I have a dog, that travels everywhere with me. She can't be left behind. If anyone knows who I should contact, or where I could go to find this information please contact me. I would greatly appreciate it. xtremelyrics51@hotmail.com

stay at the compass cove and enjoy all of the swimming pools, lazy rivers, or stay at the Landmark resort, or the coral beach resort. My kids have gone there since being 6 months old, about 6 times a year, and there is plenty to do. ONe of my kids is only 3 and loves to go there. Shopping, aquariums, broadway at the beach, and lounging in the lazy river for hours...

We went recently to Myrtle Beach and had a great time. Sea Captain's House was terrific for a good meal and a view of the sea. River City Cafe was really good for hamburgers and fries. Duffy Street Seafood Shack was great; good food on the cheap. NASCAR Cafe was good; mostly atmosphere. We avoided the buffets; $25 or more is too much for someone who will only make one trip anyways.

Weekend of April 16. I have read a few comments here about the Dayton House and their management so I couldn't resist throwing my 2 cents in the pile. Short and sweet, first trip to MB in 20 years, 4th anniversary, actually our honeymoon (yeah were poor folk). 2nd night their at 3 am the fire alarm went off and we were evacuated down fifteen flights of stairs. Was told only that the casue was dust got in some sort of filters. No sooner did we fall back asleep the alarm went off again and yes, we were again evacuated down fifteen flights of stairs. The next night about the same time, the fire alarm went off again. My wife called the lobby this time before we ran down the stairs again and they told her it was a false alarm. No explaination no apology. I guess one good night of sleep out of three wasn't worth an apology. The Dayton House should reconsider their noise pollution policy.

A good place to stay during Senior Week would be the Quality Inn By the Shore. The rooms are nice and the staff is very friendly and easy going. It is right behind the Beach House bar and within walking distance to the pavilion and Freaky Tiki, etc. It is not right on the ocean, it is on Withers. The people that stay there are also young.

We are going to Myrtle Beach for our spring break, we are 18 - 20 years old and need to find a place to stay that is nice but inexpensive that will rent to us. We would like it to accomidate 4 adults, preferably a 1-2 bedroom suite, so were not all on top of each other. Also with a full kitchen or efficiency kitchen so we can save money by eating in our room. Please help, A.S.A.P. Would like to be on beach, if possible and close to strip. Thank you.

I have been to the Myrtle Beach area at least one time each year since 1985. My wife and I began going in 1986, and our 13-year old has been every year since birth. We usually stay either at the south end or in North Mytle. The past couple of years we have stayed at The Blockade Runner in the Cherry Grove-Ocean Drive section of North Myrtle. The motel is extremely nice, and reasonably priced. Boulineau's IGA Store is located within walking distance, and they have about anything you need, including groceries, a cafeteria, bakery, ice cream, fishing supplies, etc.
We hope to go back later this summer, and pay a visit to Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park. It's been years since we were at either. Both are located south of the Myrtle Beach area, but well worth the miles. The last time we were there, Huntington Beach reminded me of the way the beach was when I was a kid. We really go down there for the beach, the ocean and sun anyway, so the peacefulness of Huntington is great.
I have many fond memories of visits to the Myrtle Beach area. We've made reservations again at the Blockade Runner for May, and we're looking forward to the trip.

This is the very first time, my husband and I have been on vacation in more than 20 years. I would like to find something to do for the week of the 4th of July. We are both in our mid 40's and he does not Golf, nor do I. Because this is all new to us, we have no idea where to start looking. Give us as much information as you can handle. Where to eat, shop, play and sleep. In that order. We do not have to sleep close to the beach, as, we both have year round tans. Although, I need a little sun. PLease help out the Northerns from Pa. We do plan to drive.

Hi Everyone, We are considering a winter month stay in the Myrtle Beach area during early 2006. We are interested in renting a condo, nicely furnished, with elevator, at a reasonable monthly rate. We want to be on the ocean front for the convenience of walking on the beach. This is the first time we will be doing this and we hope it turns out well. If anyone has any suggestions or tips, please send them to us. Thanks, Robert rem111@att.net

My husband and I return every year to The Water's Edge Resort during the off season at Myrtle Beach. The rooms are spectacular, the accomodations lovely and we enjoy the friendly staff! We honeymooned there and loved the ocean side balconies sipping mimosa's and watching the sunset! The pools are indoor and outdoor with two jacuzzi' that were never really crowded and we always managed to catch the Jacuzzi's when no one was in them. If they allowed pets we would continue to stay there faithfully but now we are the proud parents of two adorable chihuahuas so we travel to pet friendly resorts when possible. We HIGHLY recommend this lovely and pleasant resort within walking distance of the Pier and live entertainment!

I just made reservations at the Crown Reef for March. I got a ridiculously low rate for an ocean front eff. room. They are running a special but, rates increase after the 16th of March.  We were there several years during peak season summer heat wave. First trip, made reservations from brocure for Cabana Inn. After inspecting suicide- inspiring rooms that reeked of Lysol and the pool,nicely decorated with concrete blocks we declined to stay there. The rates were high and our kids were small so we settled for the El Dorado. This is a nice, economical place to stay across the street from the ocean. The staff and housekeepers were very friendly and helpful. Both outdoor and indoor pools were adequate and clean. If you stay here, park out front. The last day we were here three cars parked out back were broken into. I was driving a mini van at the time and escaped vandalism. Anyway, the Crown Reef was brand new then and right across thr street. I promised myself I'd stay there if I ever visited MB again and I'm looking foreward to visit. I've heard nothing but positive feedback about this resort.

I have been to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina many many times and always stay with the very accomodating folks at Tee & Sea Rentals located on Bay Tree Golf Plantation on HWY # 9 just a mere 5 minutes drive away from the Atlantic Ocean one of the
nicest parts of the beach... 1-800-BAY-TREE is the number to call if you want excellent accomodations, Golf Packages or whatever your needs may be they can accomodate you. Janie is the Lady that i've dealt with over the years and always taken
great care of my vaction needs...

Great places to eat at are :
The Parsons Table (Little River) 5 minutes from Bay Tree
Casa Villa (Little River) Awesome Mexican Food
Duffy Street Seafood Shack (Main Street in North Myrtle Bch)
Chiantis (Little River) Great Italian Food

Shopping :
Just over the border in Calabash, North Carolina is the "Low Country Stores" what a lovely place to stop and shop with some of the Carolinas friendliest store owners. My grandkids thought "Karolina Kidz" rocked...

I hope you all have many wonderful adventures and memorys to last a lifetime while visiting Myrtle Beach. It's the best home away from home place i've ever been to.
