Johnson. Me and my friends are looking for somewhere to stay on
June 4, 2004. There is 5 of us girls. We are going to Broadway
at at beach that night and would like to go to the nearest Inn
available. We would like to know about discounts and the cost. -- chasity johnson - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 20:34:23 I want a hotel at murlte beach with an ocean front view -- Cindy copperfield - Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 13:25:23 Try the Boardwalk Hotel. We stayed there last year and they didn't give us any trouble. Their prices are one of the cheapest up there to be right on the beach. If your under 21 and gonna drink though your best to stay in your room and do it cause there was a lot of people arrested last year (June 2003). For a real good time try the Freaky Tiki Club. It was awesome. At around 7PM every gets in there cars or walks down the strip. It is only about 1 mile long but it will take you about 2 hours to get down sometimes. You got a lot of time during that to have fun though. -- Marissa Pridgen - Monday, May 3, 2004 at 03:00:37 Post Reply Check out the Boardwalk Hotel. Good prices and right on the beach. I rented a room last year when I was 18 but you just have to have someone 21+ to stay with you. -- Marissa Pridgen - Monday, May 3, 2004 at 02:55:24 Post Reply It is always the first week in June. -- Marissa Pridgen - Monday, May 3, 2004 at 02:53:29 Post Reply senior week is june 6-13 -- tonica h - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at 08:28:11 Post Reply For the past years we have vacationed in North Myrtle Beach and have LOVED it!! We rent a condo at Sea Cloister II and just love it. So much better then a hotel. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a lovely porch. And the cost wasn't much more. We had all the wonderful things North Myrtle Beach plus Myrtle beach within minutes. -- sandra unger - Sunday, April 25, 2004 at 19:33:27 Post Reply May 27- 31, 2004: Atlantic Beach Bike Festival( aka Black Bike Week) Have fun out here, but most important, be SAFE because aint nothing fun about losing you life. 1 -- Anastasia Washington - Saturday, April 24, 2004 at 13:18:34 Post Reply What dates are senior week?

Senior week back in 99 and me and some friends stayed at the
Bermuda Sands hotel. It's a distance to the pavilion, but I lost
10 pounds that week from walking everywhere. You'll enjoy it.

have hany ideas of where we might have the best deals email me
please!!! thanks!! Really loved Caravelle Towers, which is next door to the

Breakfast buffet next door at Santa Maria's very reasonably
priced and open year round . They also have a outdoor beach hut
in season to grab a hot dog, hamburg, onion rings and a Mai Tai.
Nice area and 20 steps to the beach. The last time we went down
to MB we purchased a Condo there. Hey there, I've been to Myrtle Beach about 5 times in the
last 3 years. However, I am going down there (from ohio) for an
interview, and most likely moving there. Can anyone give me any

anniversary there this weekend. Can you please help us ASAP?
Thanks I would like information on swimming with dolphins in the
Myrtle Beach area. We are planning a early summer 2004 trip. Last minute beach trip in the works... I am interested in
hotels that are Pet Friendly Ocean/front Myrtle Beach. Also any
codes that pertain to the Beach. My compliments to all hotels
that are understanding toward those of us who will not travel
without our pets. We have a tiny poodle/maltese mix (about 6
pounds) The size of the pet doesn't matter. I have traveled
extensively and have seen many 200 pounders that were not as
well mannered as many german shepherds...just a thought! Thanks
for any input - we hope to be on the beach October 13, 2003.
Thanks for your assistance Where in Myrtle Beach can one rent a wheelchair for several
days? I would like to find a place where me and my friends can stay
for next summer. There is four of us two of us are 19 one is 20
and the other is 21 if you could help us i would appreciate it.
i was interested in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. thank you kelly Do not stay at the polynesian.We stayed there this weekend
.9-2003 .We have stayed there before with no problems,it was
awful.Toilet flooded our room ,water is 2 inches deep ,they came
and sucked it up and did not offer to mop. We had a room with no
view .Ask to switch rooms they said they couldn't because in
there notes it said my husband was afraid of heights.Our ocean
view was of the palm trees and pool.Land's Inn is a great place
our friends stayed there. My father loved Myrtle Beach, He has passed on now. Our
family would come every year for ten years or more. It would be
fifteen or more of us that would came. Our fathers last trip was
to Myrtle Beach. He would sit on the balcony and look out. Or he
would go out with my brothers on a fishing boat. We have not
been to the beach (family trip) since our father death. But we
are planning a trip to take our mother next year. We are looking
forward to it. To sit and look at the ocean, we know it is one
of God's greatest cerations. Thank You, and, God's blessings,

grocery stores close? Out unit is in the back (they say ocean
view)!!!!! Will we need a ladder to see the ocean from our
balcony (LOL)!!!! Thanks for any info. you can give us. kay
frances 8) I have been going to myrtle beach for the past 18 years,
that's at least once a year. since i am only 18, it's a great
tradition. i love the entire area. i took my first steps there.
everyone must visit the yum-yum shop in garden city. it's the
best. and try out medieval times and Dixie stampede, it's pricey
but totally worth it. if you teenage kids want to run around by
themselves, take them to the garden city pier and let them roam
for two or so hours. it's very safe. DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THE
ATTIC. it's in downtown MB. I have been there and seen what goes
on. yes there is security and only under 21. but things get in
and go on. I like going to things like that, but being 18 and
saying this, you know it's bad. My family loves Myrtle Beach. We plan to spend the Christmas
holiday there. Due to the holidays, what restaurants, movies and
shows, will be open and available. We will be staying at the Sea
Watch Plantation on Dec. 24th through the 27th. Thanks for any
suggestions. My husband and I went to Myrtle Beach this past summer and we
really enjoyed ourselves. We stayed at the LaQuinta across from
Broadway on the Beach. This is a nice hotel that excepts pets
(that is why we stayed there). Friendly staff, clean rooms, and
a great free breakfast every morning (I don't just mean coffee
and muffins) like hot pancakes, fresh fruit, juice, hot cereal,
and lots of other goodies. We also enjoyed eating at the new
Captain Georges. This has great seafood. We will be back next
year:] 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. I'm a senior this year and will be graduating on May 25,
2003. A group of us want to go to Myrtle for senior trip but
don't know when senior week is. I was also wondering where is a
good place to stay that is close to the festivities. If anyone
can give me some advice I would appreciate an email. Thanks! We are traveling to Myrtle Beach in a few weeks and are
wondering where we can rent a transport wheelchair (the kind
that folds up in your car) for the week? Can you help me find
anywhere that provides this service? Thank you. If you're going to Myrtle, you've got to go to DICK'S. Ask
for Mac! i use to live in mrytle beach! i loved it there im going down
to the sun fun week the first week of the summer! its the best
place for teens! i love the attic they have awsome music and
awsome dancers! i cant wait to go though i am taken by a
wonderful guy, theres always time to check out the hotties. if
your going for the fam of for a wild spree myrlte is the place
to be!!! We love Garden City Beach, been coming here for 10 years, and
planning to retire here within a year. We make sure to catch
bike week (59th annual this year) sponsored by Harley Davidson-
we have met the most wonderful friends over the years at bike
week. Great times, no trouble, lots of "welcomes" from local
businesses. It's usually the second full week in May- if you
love cruisin' on your bikes and meeting great people-- with lots
of sunshine, it's the place to be. First time to Myrtle Beach (April 8th - 11th, 1999) HERE IS
MY EXPERIENCE WITH MYRTLE BEACH (A LITTLE LONG BUT INFORMATIVE)
I wanted to fill this out because I read these travelogues while
planning my stay which I feel helped me........ My girlfriend
and I decided to spend a few days in Myrtle Beach the Sunday
before. We chose it becuase the forecast (www.weather.com) was
to be nice that weekend. Since neither of had stayed there I
spent several hours on Monday on the internet at
http://www.segetaway.com/MyrtleBeach/LodgingList.html
looking for nice places to stay. We wanted to be on the beach
and becuase it was a last minute vacation which needed to
planned inside a day, we decided to stay at a resort hotel since
I felt would be easiest. After reading several horror stories of
some old worn out resorts on the Grand Strand, I reasoned the
newer a place was (no matter how it was run) would be good since
I was more worried of staying in a run down place than bad
service. I started calling all the resorts I found on the
logging web page and ended up accidentally talking to a Myrtle
Beach travel agent who lives in the area. She also recommended
staying at a newer place since they would probably be the most
decent as far as cleanliness. In particular, the resorts she
recommended to me were the Yachtsman (probably the nicest on the
Grand Strand), The Coral Beach, The SandCaslte South, and the
The Crwon Reef. Of these, the place that had a vacancy and
looked most appealing to me was the SandCastle South (there is a
SandCastle resort that is located north of central Myrtle Beach
whereas the SandCastle South is two miles south.)It also
happended to be the newest resort hotel on the Grand Strand. The
travel agent I talked to told me it had been open for only a
year and I called the SandCastle twice to talk to two different
receptionists who also both told me it had been open for only a
year. In addition, they both told me all construction was
complete (so there wouldn't be any half complete swimming pools
or construction mess). THE SANDCASTLE SOUTH IS A VERY NICE
RESORT HOTEL. It has an outdoor swimming pool, lazy river(heated),
and two hot tubs(whirlpools) that are hot!! There is also a
heated indoor pool and kids wadding pool. The place was
immaculate. We were there near the last part of the yearly
spring break legacy so the city and the beach were full. The
SandCastle Resort had no vacancy but there was still plenty of
room around the pool and on the beach. OUR ROOM WAS VERY NICE.
IT WAS CLEAN AND WELL FURNISHED; EVERYTHING WAS BRAND NEW. TWO
NICE TV'S, 3 QUEEN SIZE BEDS, A FULL SIZE REFRIGERATOR, 4 BURNER
STOVE, POTS AND PANS, KITCHEN UTENSILS, AND A VERY LARGE
MICROWAVE, AND EACH ROOM HAS TWO OF IT'S OWN A/C AND HEATERS
WHICH YOU CONTROL (and no I don't have an investment in the
resort). Generally speaking, the resorts closest to central
Myrtle Beach (which I call the Pavillion Amusement Part area)
are older or much more run down because they have been there for
so long. They are probably cheaper would explain why there was
such a large concentration of teeny boppers in that area. There
are tons of places to stay in Myrtle Beach. There are also some
very nice national chain hotels within a mile from the beach
(like the Hampton Inn on R17). If I were to go back to Myrtle
Beach and wanted to stay on the beach I would look into renting
a condo (there are just tons of them in between the resort
hotels and they looked pretty nice). If I were to stay in a
resort hotel, I would try The Crown Reef. It is huge and very
elegant. One day while walking on the beach behind it, my
girlfriend and I walked up into their patio pool area and it was
nice! It was just as clean as the SandCastle South, just bigger
and more elegant. A big plus about staying at the SandCastle
South or the Crown Reef is that they are about 2.5 miles south
of central Myrtle Beach where all the older, cheaper places are
which is where the concentration of youths hang out. I don't
know if it was becuase we were there during the spring break
season but at 3 o'clock in the morning, there had to be a
thousand or more teenagers walking and driving up and down ocean
blvd. everynight. It was a big crusing scene where a mile of
"decked out" cars would slowly drive up and back the Pavillion
Area playing loud rap music. I would have hated staying in a
resort in that area. The Yachtsman looked like a really nice
place, but it is in the heart of that mess. We didn't find the
attractions in the Pavillion Area worth stopping for. We did
vist Ripley's Believe It or Not which we didn't care much for
either. Atleast not what we payed to get in. THE BEST ATTRACTION
AT MYRTLE BEACH IS BROADWAY AT THE BEACH. Lots of good
restaurants, little unique shops, as well as Ripley's Aquarium
and the IMEX Theatre. We thought Ripley's Aquarium was the
neatest attraction in the city (it has a huge tank that you walk
under which contains 6 or more adult sharks!!!) and an area that
allows you to touch sting rays, skates, and baby sharks. IF YOU
GO TO MYRTLE BEACH, GO TO RIPPLEY'S AQUARIUM. The IMEX theatre
was also worth visiting but being from Cincinnati where we have
an IMAX theatre (similar to the IMEX but bigger and better) it
wasn't as impressive as the aquarium. BAREFOOT LANDING is also
worth visiting (no you don't walk around barefoot on sand or
anything - it's just a name) and is similar to BroadWay at the
Beach but not nearly as large or elegant. YOU COULD EASILY SPEND
AN ENTIRE DAY AT BROADWAY AT THE BEACH!!!! NEGATIVES ABOUT
MYRTLE BEACH - There were too many teenagers that played loud
music and drove like complete idiots. The people there we felt
were generally arrogant and traffic was often at a standstill
(except farther south where we were staying). There didn't seem
like there were as many police as there should have been. There
is a restaurant on every corner and it was nearly impossible to
go to one during the dinner hours without having to wait half
and hour. Make reservations if you can. Also, check around and
see if people recommend a place that has good food. We didn't
have a good dinner any night we were there. I'm sure there is
good food in Myrtle Beach, you just need to find it. The beach
was very shelly, meaning you needed some sort of sandle to get
out past the first fifteen feet without saying several four
letter words. PARKING GARAGES AT THE RESORTS ARE TIGHT!!! The
garage at the SandCastle South had more than enough spaces, they
were just small as well as the garage itself. The other resort's
garage's looked cramped as well. Try not to plan on bringing
your biggest vehicle if you are parking in a resort hotel!!!
POSITIVES ABOUT MYRTLE BEACH - It is a close Florida!!! Prices
for everything was very reasonable. Despite all the shells on
the beach, it is still a nice beach. Good surf if you like the
waves. The sun was very warm and the weather was beautifull. An
absolute ton of plays to swing golf clubs and lots of places to
play miniature golf. There is alot to do in Myrtle Beach and
would be a great spot for a family vacation. I would enjoy going
back to Myrtle Beach Again!!!!!!!! Ref.Bar Harbour Resort info.req.-We're planning our first
family vacation to MB - May 6-13/99 /2 adults, 2 seniors, 2
children, 10, 6 and would appreciate referrals on a 4 or 5 star
resort. We are considering the Bar Harbour Resort-N.Ocean Blvd -
would appreaciate comments.our-N.Ocean Blvd. Thank you, Ecain,
NB, Canada - cain@nbnet.nb.ca My first time ever seeing the ocean was going to Myrtle
Beach. It was a bad time here, I was in a serious depression, my
family was falling apart, my grades were slipping, I was all
messed up on drugs, it was bad. Well, I canna say that it was
Myrtle Beach really, that helped me, but rather just the ocean.
LOL, we had a hard time getting into a hotel...we had made
reservations at a really nice place, and when we got there, they
said we had to be 25 to get in (be very careful when planning,
everyone) Well, luckily, we found a place (i dunna member the
name) that took us tho we were only 18. We didn't get to stay
the amout of time we had initially planned,and it rained the
whole time we were there, but we had a blast anyway. Well, back
to my initial point, I sat on the balcony of the room (we HAD to
get ocean front room) and lol, since i smoke, and my best friend
doesnt, i had to go out there to smoke. so i was out there quite
a bit. i would jsut sit there, and think, staring out at the
ocean. ..somehow, something changed. WHen I came home (i live in
Illinois) i was calm, changed. But my overall favorite
memory...was one night, around midnight, when the rain had
stopped temporarily, and the moon was full, her and I walked
down to the beach, and waded in the water a bit, talking of
life, death, and everything in between. Looking up at the moon
over the water was one of the most moving experiences in my
life. Ive babbled enough now, just wanted to share. Sweetest
dreams, waking or no... for the waking are often best Wen We will be heading for MyrtleBeach in one week for our 6th
year. We are a family of 6 and we always take a friend along. We
have always rented from Condo-World in North Myrtle Beach. They
have the best rates of any of the rental places and their condos
are fantastic. Greatpeople work there and they treat you super.
We enjoy Barefoot Landing and Broadway at the Beach and the
uotlet stores on 501.So much to do and see in MB. I enjoy
golfing with friends that also go each year, but we are finding
that their rates are becoming outrageous. It costs as much for 6
rounds as it does for a membership for the year up here. Great
places to eat are T-Bonz, Outback Steak House, and the
Outrigger. My wife got gift certificates for T-Bonz and Outback
for me as Christmas gifts! Cant wait to use them. We
willeventually retire to the MB area. As soon as we arrive we
will be making our reservations for 2000. Jack Armstrong We stayed at the SEA PLAMS it was a nice place! So nice WE
are going back for SPRING BREAK and SENIOR WEEK! I live in the outskirts of M.B. and work there and a peice of
advice for tourists... come here in the off season, things are
less stressfull and the locals are happy to see people visiting
then. also traffic is much better then. We live only two hours from MB. We go several times a year.
The chamber of Commerce puts out a publication annually. I pick
one or two up every year at the visitors center. The name of the
publication is Stay & Play in the Myrtle Beach Area. It is
fantastic. It has hotels and resorts listed in alphabetical
order. Showing a picture of each one. There is usually a price
list and a small lay out of the rooms. Most places have a toll
free number to call for reservations and general information.
Also most places now list there web site. I agree the Sea Mist
has a lot lacking when it comes to there rooms. Most are small
and stuffy. Some rooms are very damp inside. I must say the
water park is great. I have stayed in may places from South
Myrtle to North. Some of my favorite places are The Crown Reef,
The Landmark, The Sandcastle South, The Yactsman, The Patricia
Grand, Forest Dunes, The Patricia North, The Caravell, and The
Long Bay Resort. It all depends on if I am taking a group of
kids, and the ages of the kids. If I want to stay some where so
I can walk almost every place I go, or if I am going just to
enjoy the pools and the beach. Which is usually the case. I
could go on and on but enough is enough. I love the beach. I
always want to stay on the ocean front. I already have the 99
pubication of stay & play. I can't wait to check out the new
places. Went to Surfside beach in June of 98. Surfside was very nice.
Not nearly as croweded as MB. However, we rented a condo for 8
people and it was not at all what we expected. It was very
large, but it was dark, out of date, and furnished from garage
sales. We rented from Surfside Reality. We were very
disappointed. The condo was not even cleaned upon our arrival.
The pool was very nice, right on the ocean. We really enjoyed
the uncrowded beaches there. We really are fans of the Outer
Banks, NC and we will be going back there next year. We won't be
returning to MB toooo commercialized! We go to Myrtle Beach every summer and we have stayed in
hotels, condos, and even camped. Where ever we stayed we always
have a great time. The restaurants are great, the shopping is
even better, and the golf courses are the best. We plan to go
again this summer. Last year we stayed at Myrtle Beach travel
park, can anyone recommend anouther one,can . Lodging=CROWN REEF url= feedback= wE staayed in the summer of
96-it was TERRIFIC. WE PLAN ON GOING BACK THIS SUMMER We went to Myrtle Beach Sept 18, 1998 and stayed at the Sand
Dunes. The people there were rude, and when our luggage got lost
on the airlines and were delivered to the hotel later that
night, the STAFF did not even tell us our luggage was there. We
asked for a non smoking room and got stuck with a room that a
bunch of cigar-smoking conventioneers must have just stayed in.
I wrote a Myrtle Beach website about our trip I hope people will
check out. Had a BLAST there.....we are from California and it
was just a different experience for us. Just the hotel was a
disappointment. http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/5821/mb.html
Just returned from Myrtle Beach 8/28/98. Some tips: 1. Bring
your own beach chairs and umbrellas. We stayed at the Caravelle
and, unlike the siutation at other beach vacation spots, the
hotel does not supply them for the guests. The price we were
quoted was $20 per day for two chairs and an umbrella. The
lifeguards run the rental business. We picked up two chairs for
$13 and an umbrella for $40 from one of the nearby souvenier /
beach supply stores. 2. If you are evacuted due to a hurricane
(we were from Bonnie) be prepared to sit for three hours just to
get off the island. The National Guard / Police direct traffic,
at least in our experience, at intersections just off the
island. 3. Go see the Aquarium. The people mover "ride" through
the main tank is breathtaking. The only criticism is that there
is not enough explanation of what you are seeing, at least for
my taste. In that sense, the Baltimore aquarium does a better
job. We recently returned from our first vacation at Myrtle Beach.
We were there from 8/2/98 to 8/8/98. I wish I could say that it
was great, but I can't. The main part of our problem was the
accomadations. We stayed at the Swamp Fox. I will say that the
people were very nice and did try to accomadate us. Our ocean
front room was on the sixteenth floor. We rode an elevator from
hell to get there. The elevator shook and made all kinds of
noises. We questioned the safety on our future trips. At one
time or other, we had different odors in the room and outside
the room. As I said, the staff did try to fix things, but first
impressions stayed with us. Our ocean front view room turned out
to be an obstructed view room with various creatures crawling on
the balcony. I figure these creatures came from the obstruction,
a concrete box with unmaintained plants that had an oder. If
anyone in the future is staying at the Swampfox on the sixteenth
floor in an ocean view room, make sure it is one of the
un-obstructed view rooms. Another disappointment was the beach.
I thought it was very dirty. There were broken shells all over
as well as garbage; cans, paper, fireworks, cigeratte butts, and
other misc. junk. I even saw broken glass. As I walked farther
north, I think the beach did get nicer. At the beach, the
lifeguards have to rent chairs out instead of doing their main
job that needs to be done. We stayed out of the room as much as
possible. On the positive side, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot
Landing, the Waterparks, and the various eating establishments
were great. If we had better accomadadtions, I think the trip
would be much better. I would go back to Myrtle Beach, but aI
would not stay at the Swampfox again. If anyone has any
questions, feel free to E-mail me at Yadash@aol.com. We did
check out other places to stay while we were there. OCEAN ANNIES!!!!!!!!! The best place in Myrtle Beach to
relax, party and catch some rays! My husband and I have been
going since 1994 on our yearly vacation. Now, we have two other
couples that joined us last year and we're making it a
tradition. We usually go in late August or early September. I
usually have to make an extra trip with a group of girls in June
or July. We've stayed at Shipwatch, Pelicans Watch, A Place at
the Beach, Sands Ocean Club, Sands Beach Club and this year
we're stayin at Maison sur Mur. I can't wait! We'll be there
Aug. 22-29. It's always been a good experince in this area. It
seems to be close to just about everything. There's no other
beach-MYRTLE BEACH. 7-1-98: We just returned from Myrtle Beach and stayed for the
first time at The Palace. I was very disappointed. Not only did
I hear so many vistors complaining about the rooms not being
clean, but I saw first hand. When I opened the door to the room,
potato chips were on the couch and on the floor. Hair was on the
door and floor of the bathroom. I didn't complain because I had
heard others complain to the managers and their comment was
"so"! I had my cleaning supplies with me and I cleaned up the
mess. When a person has to pay a high price a night they expect
a clean, sanitized room and the personnel of the resort should
be helpful and courteous. After all, if it were not for the
visitors, they would not even have a job. I can say the maid was
helpful in providing extra towels and washcloths when I
requested them. I am here to tell you that if I could not find
reservations but at The Palace I just would not visit Myrtle
Beach again. The best place ever is Tropical Winds but when we
needed reservations they were no vacancies. Next year, I will
plan my vacation so I will be able to stay at Tropical Winds.
Why in this world "The Strand Magazine" has The Palace listed as
a top resort and not Tropical Winds is beyond me?! Places to
eat: when the Alabama Grill is rebuilt that will be the place to
eat. Hollywood Planet is ridicous, cheeseburgers for $8.95! What
a rip off! and for what, just to see big screen movie reviews
and an hour and one-half wait! The Alabama Threater Gift Shop is
also great with many Alabama souvenirs and other neat things!
Myrtle Beach Treasures & Gifts on West Blvd. is a neat little
gift shop with reasonable prices. It has some cute gift items
not the junky stuff. The clerks in both of these shops were very
nice. One last note, if we want to make a statement to resorts
like "The Palace" we have to let them know we mean business by
not giving them any business. I will also write the Chamber of
Commerce and The Strand Magazine. I think we need to take a
stand and just maybe these people will clean up their act! Listen, Ihave live in Mrytle Beach, SC All of my life. I am a
white, 21 yr old male and I know everything there is basically
to know about this beautiful resort vacation spot. any questons
feel free to ask... I will send you as much information as
possible because I know how it is to visit a strange place. hope
you enjoy my hometown... Ta, Ta !!! My family and I have been going to Myrtle Beach for as long
as I can remember. We sometimes spend family reunions there!
When we do go, we often stay in Garden City and rent beach
houses. In '85, we had a family reunion and the week we were
there, Hurricane Bob struck!! What an experience that was. We
all seperated and went to different areas for shelter. The next
day we were back at the beach and enjoying the HUGE waves. My
family loves the beach. We are going again this and will be
there in mid-July. This year we are renting a condo. Does
anybody know any info about the Sea Master. It's in Garden City.
Thanks for wonderful memories If anybody needs any help on Myrtle Beach, e-mail me! I have
a page on Myrtle Beach...check it out http://mypage.goplay.com/CHIC-N-THESTIX/...it
has a lot of links and stuff on nightlife and amusement....I can
help you with anything!!!! I recently went to the beach (April 24) for Prom weekend. I
plan to return for Memorial Day Weekend--a tradition since 9th
grade. Its real fun and wild. For all you teenagers looking for
a party after graduation-like me- the breach is the place to be.
Its going to be filled with phat cars and opposite sexes that
are just waiting to me new and exciting people. Look for the
drop dead gorgeous girl in the drop dead gorgeus Cavalier or
Amigo and that will be me and my cousin crusin the strip till
dawn. We stayed at a hotel called the Caravan. Its really nice!
The beach is the place to be Memorial Day Weekend. Its a small
Freaknic!!!!! My husband and I are planning a trip to Myrtle Beach with a
couple of our friends. We were there a couple of years ago and
plan to stay at the same motel. Its a little mom and pop type
place that allows pets. I think you should add a section either
here in travelogue or under the lodging area, that tells you
exactly which places allow pets. There are many of us who like
to travel with our pets and its not easy to find places that
allow pets. Thanks, Colleen Hi from New York State! We've been going to MB for the past
15 years and we are addicted to it. The winters are long in
Rochester, NY and when April comes around we are so looking
forward to the sunny south. Even if the weather isn't perfect
down there we are never disappointed with our vacation. The
walks on the beach in the morning and at night can't compare.
Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing are the greatest
places to stroll after dinner. The whole week is a relaxation
that we look forward to. The great thing about MB is that there
is something for everyone...Counting the days. We almost always
stay at the Captain's Quarters. March 7, 1998. March 3, 1998 I just returned from Myrtle Beach recently and
I had the greatest time there with friends from school! We
decided that we needed a new place to go, so we decided why not
a place with many different things to do, a good beach, and
many, many compliments? And so we did- I convinced my teacher
that it was time to take a trip! We left from Florida around
8:00 in the morning and went on I-95 all the way up to South
Carolina. Make sure that you stop and get some breakfast at
Waffle House or Cracker Barrel. The stop in Brunswick and
Jessup, Georgia (7A, US 25 and 341) is a great stop for
breakfast and dinner. They offer a nice, clean Cracker Barrel
and IHOP restaurant. There is a Howard Johnson's (make sure to
stop there for ice cream because their flavors are the best), a
Shoney's, a Quincys Family Restaurant, and many more places to
eat. Entering South Carolina is good- we got to Myrtle Beach at
around 8:30 PM and stayed at the Hampton Inn at Northwood. What
a nice hotel- it offers a continental breakfast and has a clean
area for swimming. You also get free HBO and local calls-
CHILDREN 18 OR YOUNGER STAY FREE! (And THAT was a miracle- we're
all 16 and 17!) Broadway at the Beach is a must because it
offers EVERYTHING! It has an IMAX theatre offering a show every
hour, a Ripley's Sea Aquarium with so much to offer, and some of
the greatest places to eat such as the Nascar Cafe and Planet
Hollywood. The Hard Rock Cafe is not as nice as the other two-
the food seemed to be not well prepared at the time and our
waitor was rude- also lines there are too long. I do like their
gift shop, though. Briarcliffe Mall is alright- it has a Belk,K-Mart,
JC Penney's, a Limited, and more. The Pavillion is major fun- it
offers a roller coaster!! For good dining on North King's
Highway, try the Olive Garden or Garcia's Mexican Restaurant-
the food there is delicious! Also try Medieval Times- it has
great chicken! Magic On Ice is very good. I'm going back here
again! Good luck on your next trip! I've read through all the posted comments and failed to see
anything about vacation condos. My husband and I own property on
Shore Drive, at Pelican's Watch and Pelican's Landing. Shore
Drive is on the north end of Myrtle Beach, almost in North
Myrtle Beach. For those familiar with the Area, these two units
are between Ocean Annie's beachfront club, and the Radisson
Kingston Plantation. For those of you unhappy with your
accomodations, a three-bedroom condo is very reasonable,
especially in off-season (Sept to May). We happen to rent
through Chicora Beach Holiday, but there are other companies
that represent these properties. My family loves the beach! Our
favorite restaurants are Rossi's, Bovine's in Murrell's Inlet,
and believe it or not, the Nascar Cafe. Myrtle Waves on Bypass
17 is great. Broadway at the Beach is everything they advertise.
We visited the aquarium and thought it was great. Outlet Mall on
501 is also great. We also like to rent a pontoon and cruise up
the waterway to Bird Island. We have golfed MB National, Wild
Wing, the Grandaddy, Waterway Hills, Arcadian Shores to name a
few... the more expensive the course, the better shape they are
in. You will find golf specials, and if you decide on a
less-expensive course, it is typically not as nice. If you are looking for a way to get away from the packed
beaches of Myrtle Beach, try Sunset Beach-located about 40
minutes north of Ocean Boulevard. I have been coming to Sunset
here for 20 something years now and the beaches are better than
any around. This is a great beach for private relaxation and if
you have kids old enough, let them drive to Myrtle Beach at
night and don't expect them back until 2 or 3 in the morning.
I'm a teenager and there is no where I would rather be than
Myrtle Beach. For all of you parents who have kids anywhere from
15 years old to being in college, plan your vacation here. The
so called "strip" has so many things to do and people to see,
it's overwhelming. My family usually goes around the end of july-beginning
of August. I will be staying at the Holiday Inn West in a couple of
weeks and I was looking for a map to show me the location of the
hotel and couldn't find anything. It would be very handy to have
a map of the area showing the location of the lodging available.
Mrytle Beach is great!! My husband and I, and all of our kids
have been coming there for the last 9 years. Started in 1989, it
was our honeymoon, with our kids!! Now all of our kids are grown
up, and some have family's of their own, and now, we all go,
kids, and grandkids. We always find something to do, but our
favorite thing is being on the beach, playing volleyball, or
some sort of game, whatever we come up with, and soaking up the
rays, swimming, and going to Ocean Annies. And of course,
drinking lots of beer!! We will be there 6/6/98 untill 6/13/98.
We have always rented a condo from Chicora Rentals, and have
always been happy with them. SEE YA IN JUNE!!:):) This Easter break will be my 7th time since 1982 coming to
Myrtle Beach. The last time was with my 3 year-old in 1993 and
she had a blast. She is now 8 years old and hope she will have a
bigger blast. Each time I go to MB, there are more things to see
and do. If you ever have a problem with your car go to BEACH FORD
LINCOLN MERCURY on hihhway 17 bypass. They are the best. I had a
problem and they took care of it . SeeHenry Hammond,he,s the
best He took care of my problem and had me on my way in a
heartbeath. i would remcomandy these guys as long as Henry is
there. Bravo Henry Brunobeer@aol.com My husband and I are visiting Myrtle Beach for the first time
this April. I came to this site to find some places to visit.
After reading all the comments listed here, I am so excited I
could leave today. Thanks for all the helpful tips and ideas. If
you have any more ideas, please email me!! well hello everyone.....all i have to say is last year over
the summer i did my culunary internship at kingston plantation.
i strongly believe that this is the best resort in the state
becuause of the beaches to th quality of the food.any questions
email me ill be proud to tell more about the surrounding area as
well as the hotel i worked there so i guess i know more than the
average person on vacation...thankyou for your time Myrtle Beach is so awesome.I've been going there for 5 years
and last year I took a group of friends and we had ablast. There
is always something fun to do and fun people to hang around. We
are plannning on going again this year for our senior Spring
Break trip. The bars are really fun to go to and cruising the
strip is cool too! I would recomend Myrtle Beach to the younger,
partying type of croud because it is a wild time!!! I have
stayed in The Patricia Grand and the Breakers and both are
really nice but mostly for familites not alot of partying going
on in them! Bring your sun tan lotion!! 11-5-97 Just got back from Myrtle Beach. We stayed at the
YATCHSMAN, nice place but the across the street parking is not
convient. The beach is nowhere near as pritty as Gulf Shores
Alabama or Panama City Florida. Lots of strip bars and golf and
gift shops. Not worth the gas to get there in my opinion. Go to
Florida or Alabama and see what a real GRAND STRAND beach lookes
like!!! I have been going to Myrtle Beach since I was two years old.
It is the greatest place in the whole world. My parents have
always been able to take our family on an annual visit to South
Carolina. The Grand Strand is a wonderful place for families to
go and enjoy the warm summer days and nights of the south. I
have many fond memories of Myrtle Beach and I would tell
everyone who asked about it that it is a very relaxing place the
just kick back and have some fun!!!!!!!! I have also stayed at
Garden City, SC which is a few miles away from Myrtle Beach. My
suggestion for a place to stay there is the Water's Edge resort.
The rooms are great and it is in a great location. A GREAT
place!!!!! Just got back from our very first visit to Myrtle Beach.
We've already checked out locations in Garden City for next
year's vacation. Lodging in Garden City was very limited but it
was so peaceful and quiet. Met lots of nice folks on the Garden
City Fishing Pier while listening to the band or merely ocean
watching. Visited all the typical tourist locations -- Barefoot
Landing, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. Got tickets to see the Gatlin
Brothers at the Gatlin Brothers Theater at Fantasy Harbor. It
was well worth the money; they certainly are talented
performers. Forget all those seafood buffets -- go to the
Outriggers in North Myrtle Beach. The seafood there was almost
as good as Maryland seafood and the staff and service was
excellent. Lived in Maryland all my life and never cared too
much for Ocean City, MD -- both my husband and I fell in love
with Myrtle Beach; can't wait to until next year. i have been in myrtle beach 6 times since hurricane hugo.
most of the time for golf. the last time was 1995 when i brought
my family down. we drove last time and it was a nice trip. the
kids enjoyed it so much we are coming back in 98. they would
rather go there than disney world. right now i am trying to get
information about hotel (waterpoint 1). and about flying into
myrtle beach from pgh. love the food shoping and the nice people
down there. i would love to move there if possible. We are just back from our week long vacation at Myrtle Beach
(8/24/97) and can now appreciate all of the rave reviews about
the Grand Strand by other vacationers. We've spent most of our
beach vacations in MD. and VA. and think the water at Myrtle
Beach is much warmer and somewhat calmer. Beach parking is easy
to find. Loads of public access, even if you go during the prime
time (12:00 pm and on). Beaches vary-- those at the north end
are more expansive, but there are no shells. Those down by
Surfside are narrow but there's a great family atmosphere and
lots of shells if you like to walk along the beach. We did most
of our shopping at Walmart on Route 544. It's open 24 hours a
day and the prices were good. We hit Broadway at the Beach and
would definitely recommend it. The line at the Hard Rock Cafe
wasn't too long (we got there on a weekday at 4:00 pm). We
really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was adequate and
reasonable. The miniature golf course there- Dragon's Lair,
looks great. Just returned from our second annual (hopefully of many) trip
to the Myrtle Beach area. Beginning last year, we started an
annual week to Garden City, where we rented a beach house along
with my brother's family, my sister's family, and our Dad. In
reality, my husband have been to Myrtle many times in years
past, but we always camped in our pop-up. Since my sister's
family does not camp, and most of our favorite camping spots
have given way to high-rises (boo!), we opted for the tranquil
beach of Garden City, where at 2 miles south of the pier, the
beach is wonderfully deserted, pristine and private. With
Murrell's Inlet to the south, seafood is plentiful for those who
choose to cook up their favorites. Sharing the rent between four
families makes the price very attractive. Sharing cooking duties
makes mealtime fun as opposed to a chore, and all of the kids
has a ball! Adults took the bedrooms, while the kids preferred
to camp out together in the great room, in their sleeping bags.
The beach house had two enclosed showers downstairs, which was
great! The body surfing was a blast for all, from the youngest
(at 6 years old) to the oldest (at 73 years old). Wish we could
have stayed longer!!! We are going to MB for a week's vacation, leaving New York on
August 22! I was kind of concerned after reading a posting that
they were rejuvenating the beach. He wrote that they had
travelled a long while to get to MB and could not even go out to
the beach at the place they were staying because of equipment
out on the sand working on the beach. He said they were at 48th
ave. I called the Caravelle where we will be staying and was
told that the beach rejuvenation has been put on hold until
October. They were getting alot of complaints from tourists and
have stopped!! Thank goodness. Just thought I would spread the
word. Have a great vacation i'm a 14 year old and i have been going to myrtle beach for
10 years now. we bought a timeshare at Riptide Beach Club 2 and
have been staying there for the last 8 years. The last couple of
years we have been "stepping out" and going to some fun new
sights in the grand strand. the Alabama theater is great and is
a great american show. the Dixie Stampede and Medeival times are
also fun places that like to get kids and grown-ups involved
with the show. we went to broadway at the beach last year and
saw the HardRock cafe. it took forever to get in and inside
people were all around and it was so loud that my parents
couldnt hear what i was saying and i was standing right beside
them. Micky Gilleys resturant was a very cool place ( if you
like country music) and it was very colorful. we always walk to
Emmits calabash which is right at our condo, located at 2806.
ocean bulavard. ( one street up from the patricia grand, which
is next door to our condo) emmits gets an A+ from us on seafood,
hospitality and cleanness. the patricia grand has a resturant
inside and we get up early every morning to eat breakfast there.
its has a wonder oncean front view. we're going back August 15
and are going to stay for a week. i can't wait but i can
remember what it was like a few years back and it wasn't as
crowded as it is now. looks like the the secrets out. so whoever
reads this before aug. 15, email me and tell me whats new this
year. thanks! Great place to go for vacation. Tons of great restaurants and
shopping. My family goes every year!! We love it. My family just went to Myrtle Beach for our bi-annual family
reunion. We were there the week of July 12th thru the 19th. We
have our reunions every other year, this being our 5th reunion
there. We have always stayed at The Anchorage on North Ocean
Blvd. We keep returning to the same place because it is very
clean, well maintained and very attractive as far as the condo
units and the grounds around the Anchorage. There is a pool
which is great fun for everyone and the beach is just across the
street from the Anchorage. My family would recommend The
Anchorage to anyone who wants to stay somewhere that feels like
home. The condo's have kitchens, two bathrooms, two-three
bedrooms, VCR's, sterios and many other comforts of home. Our
reunions consist of about 30 people and we all keep returning to
this place because we have been satisfied now every time we go.
Myrtle Beach offers so much for the family to do. We used to go
to Barefoot Landing, but now that theres Broadway at the Beach,
Barefoot Landing cannot compare. Don't waste your time going
there. If you want to go to a very good seafood restaurant on
the water that is casual, Drunken Jacks in Murrells Inlet is THE
BEST! Mrytle Beach Waves water park was very expensive (60.00
for a family of four) and not worth it! There was barely
anything a child under the age of 5/6 could do. If you want to
see a good movie, go to the IMEX theatre at Broadway at the
Beach. It offers movies that are exciting and entertaining on a
very large screen that makes you feel as if you are a part of
the movie. It is no ordinary movie, it is different and
refreshing. We saw the movie on the Grand Canyon and that was a
good one for all ages. I could not say enough about Myrtle
Beach. We love it there and plan on going back in 1999 for our
6th family reunion. If you have any questions you want to ask
about Myrtle Beach or The Anchorage, feel free to e-mail us and
we'll respond. We have been vacationing in Myrtle Beach for 25-30 years.
Most times a week during the summer and a couple of long
weekends during the fall and spring. My girls age 28 and 30 have
beeg going to MB since they were toddlers and I am now taking my
grandsons--ages 7 and 12-during spring break and during the
summer. We vacationed the week of June 1-7 and this was first
time in all these years weather was bad, but we still enjoyed
other things besides the beach. The music theaters, minature
golf, movie theaters, Broadway at the Beach, shopping, and great
food. The Carolina Roadhouse was very good. First time we had
eaten there. There salads with House Dressing are great. Also,
there filet mignon. We own a timeshare at the Yachtman's and
have been very pleased with it. We know what to expect in our
unit and are not disappointed as it sometimes happens when you
just pick a motel. Would like to hear from anyone about good
places to eat. My family and I just returned from MB 7/20. While our stay
was fairly nice, we were dismayed at our location: BEWARE! THE
BEACH FROM 48TH STREET WORKING DOWN TO THE LOWER BLOCK NUMBERS
IS BEING "RESTORED"--ie FOR 1000 FEET OF BEACH AT A TIME, THERE
ARE BULLDOZERS, TRUCKS, AND PUMPS . THE BEACH ACCESSES ARE GATED
OFF--AND THE WATER IN THESE 1000FEET STRETCHES IS BLACK!Needless
to say, although our hotal(the Hampton) boasted walking distance
to the beach, you had to drive 10 blocks North or south to find
swimmable water. No one told us of this before or at our
arrival, and while I am all for Beach restoration, don't do it
in the height of tourist season and ruin MY vacation
accomodations. We wonder what moron in the MB Chamber of
Commerce decided this! Summer 1997, resented very much not being able to use our own
beach umbrella and refused to pay for theirs. The lifeguard made
us put our umbrella either "waist-high" or "behind the rental
umbrellas" which is on a hill too steep to relax in chair or
blanket. Supposedly so he could get a good view of the entire
beach . What can we, the paying public, do about this injustice?
Hey gang. I just got back from MB stayed 6/1-6/5. Yea, during
"senior week"..I am a Mom with 8 yr old kid. The teens were not
bad, the security was excellent on the beach, however still a
lot of rowdiness. Did extensive research on the net for this
trip. Just a few disappointments... Stayed at Landmark Resort.
This place is great, had a 2 room oceanfront suite, pool area is
#1, however...the pre-teens need to be chaparoned a bit better.
They seemed to take over the place and hotel security didn't do
much about it. One HUGE DOWNER was our rental car was KEYED in
the worst way, still waiting for damages bill. Hotel will not be
responsible, was parked in parking garage which was SuPPOSED to
have security. Had to file police report and such. Second downer
was Ripley's Sea Aquarium was not open yet. Broadway at the
Beach was great tho. Took a "cruise" @ $12 a person..what a
waste of money... no sunshine either..spent most of the time in
jean and jacket. All in all...it wasn't a total washout. Email
me with any questions you may have ...I'll be happy to help and
answer since I has so many computer friends help me! Saturday, June 7, 1997 My husband(Ron)and I first visited
Myrtle Beach on our honeymoon, 34 years ago (March 1963). We
loved it then and still do, even though it has changed
considerably. We stayed at a little place called the "Singing
Surf" and have not been able to locate it since. We have been
staying at The Patricia Grand for the past 5 or 6 years and try
to visit at least twice a year. It's a great place, centrally
located,with spacious accommodations. Now that our children are
grown we love just hanging out on the beach during the day and
going to places like Broadway at the Beach in the evenings.
We'll be coming down next week and this time my daughter and her
new husband will be coming along. My son-in-law and husband plan
on hitting the golf course at Tidewater Plantation where we have
recently purchased some property. Hopefully, one day we will be
able to build our retirement home there and not just visit the
beach but LIVE THERE!! I spent every summer vacation with my family in Myrtle Beach.
We stayed at Pirateland family campground. Nice place if you
like roughing it. Now that I am 24, I am taking my husband there
for our year anniversary. He has never been to Myrtle, (he is
from NYC..I am from NC) and I want him to love it as I do. We
are staying at the Patricia grand. I love to eat at Dick's Last
Resort, but can anyone email me and clue me in on the "hot
spots" to eat and entertain? I have not been to MB for about 5-6
years. We are leaving July 24, so any information would be
great! Thanks. First hit MB in the 60s as a young camper now as a dad we go
every year with the kids. Best place on the east coast for a
family vacation . We stay at the Windjammer in NMB great mom &
pop place Worth the trip from New Jersey every year!!!This year
we are MB bound in August. See yall later I just returned from Myrtle Beach last week (May3-10/97) We
stayed at Myrtle Beach Resort in south Myrtle Beach - almost
Surfside Beach. We rented 2bedroom condo privately - it was nice
- the outdoor pools were not heated and with the wind from the
ocean it was too cold - not very many people were swimming
outdoors. The indoor pool was like a bath! We were looking
forward to going to the Ripleys Aquarium with our little guy but
it wasn't open yet. I believe they said May 23. The shopping was
OK - we always go to TJ Maxx and the malls. The outlet mall was
dead - there are alot of empty stores - didn't find as many
deals as usual. We stayed two years ago at the Plantation Resort
on the 2 Deer Track golf courses - it was more expensive but
worth it - washer and dryer in unit, backed onto 18th hole, sun
on balcony all day, bigger unit, and indoor pool and fitness
centre. They are building a new outdoor pool - we drove in, its
not finished yet - but should be soon. It's great for golfers -
$25 a round includes cart (its an ok course), and they don't
need the car - so we can shop! We did most of our shopping at
the Wal-Mart plaza - had two good clothing stores and a shoe
store, Wal-mart has a huge grocery store in it, and whole store
is open 24 hours. Looking forward to going back next year. We
used to go to Florida for years, now MB is our choice - closer
and cheaper! my family and i go to mb every summer. our children love it!!
we take boat rides,go to the carnivals,shop, all the fun stuff
mb has to offer. our favorite place to eat is Preston's. it's
affordable and they offer foods that small children would find
yummy. we have stayed at the Sand Dunes and it is a very
beautiful place; a little on the more expensive scale if you're
on a budget, but well worth the price!!we all love mb!!!!!!! My family has been coming to MB for years! My own children
loveed the place and now their children do. We take a week for
the entire family -grandma, sons, daughters-in-law and
grandchildren. We rent a condo in Garden City facing the ocean
with 8 rocking chairs on the porch facing the ocean. Guys play
golf, women shop or sun and the kids are in the ocean. i have been visiting myrtle beach since i was about 2 and it
has been the most wonderful experience i have ever imagined.
myrtle beach is packed with golf courses of all kinds, it offers
a remarkable selection of dining options, it also contains one
of the us's longest grand strands. all in all myrtle beach is a
wonderful experience for people of all ages. i have always
prefered staying at a condo at ---- a place at the beach ----.
it offers much room and a beautiful view of the atlantic ocean,
when walking out of any condo your not more than 10 steps away
from myrtle beaches sandy shores. i do reccomend ---- a place at
the beach ---- for one who enjoyes relaxation and comfort with
that extra special touch, hospitality. Just got back from MB. First time there in almost 17 yrs.
Couldn't believe how much it had grown! Based on Travelogue
comments, we stayed at the Caribbean. Nice room, great view, but
a few minor drawbacks (no lights in the parking garage some
nights, etc.,) Our favs were: Eats -- Capt. Benjamin's
buffet(pricey for a family of 4,though), River City Cafe for the
best burgers, and Liberty Steakhouse at Broadway for great prime
rib. Broadway at the Beach for shopping. Huntington Beach State
Park in Murrell's Inlet for the best beach (wide & clean).
Brookgreen Gardens (too beautiful to describe) for a whole day's
outing. Our least favs were Barefoot Landing -- (I know it's
highly recommended, but I wasn't impressed and simply enjoyed
Broadway at the Beach more), Waccamaw Pottery (just another
outlet mall with the same stores you see a lot of places), Hard
Rock Cafe (the food wasn't anything special and we had a waiter
with an attitude). Before I forget, also liked Uncle John's
Restaurant on 24th Ave N. for a good old fashioned breakfast at
a great price. And of course, Kirk's Ice Cream Parlor. If you
haven't been to MB for a while you're in for quite a pleasant
surprise! 4/12/97. Hi, I've been going to Myrtle Beach and staying at Ocean
Lakes Family Campground for as long as I can remember. I hope
the Pavilion stays on the Ocean Front instead of moving to
Broadway at the Beach. My favorite place in the whole world is MB. We have been
going their for over 20 years and love it. I would move their
tomorrow if my husband would agree. My family and i have traveling to mb for the past 5 years,
being from new york, we have a long ride with three kids in the
car. The long drive is definetly worth it, we've already made
our reservations for this summer. We can't wait to to get there.
The beach is wonderful and the restaurants great. My favorite place in the whole world is MB. We have been
going their for over 20 years and love it. I would move their
tomorrow if my husband would agree. We wouldn't go anywhere else! Our last vacation was four
years ago, just after we purchased our new home and our son
started college. We stayed at Palmetto Dunes with friends of
ours and their two children. It was both spacious and clean. My
husband and I made reservations for the Wind Song in North
Myrtle for September - can anyone tell us what to expect? This
will be our first vacation without the kids and we're really
looking forward to it. For all those interested, T-Bonz is a
great steakhouse and they have a nine layer chocolate cake to
die for! The River City Cafe is also a favorite of ours. We went to MB for the last 10 years for a month in Myrtle
Beach Travel Park. It is a great place on the beach. We are
fromm Quebec, Can. and just bought a trailer in MB for our nexts
summer. Our 19 years old son would like to find a summer job in
MB but he need a place to stay for about a month. Is there a
place where we can write to know if there is some rooms for
working students during summer? If someone have this
information, please write us. Thanks. Myrtle beach is a beautiful place to visit. I used to look
forward to the annual trip with my church group every year (I'm
24 now). I am from Hickory, N.C. and went every year until I was
20. I went two years ago and was pleasantly surprised at how
much it grows every year. I was really disappointed at how dirty
the beach was though. I know I saw at least five condoms and
miles of other trash. It is disappointing to see how people
don't care about the only land we will ever have. Just returned from a golf vacation in MB (3/3 - 3/6/97).
Weather was great (mid 70's to low 80's) with all sunshine and
no rain. Stayed at a condo associated with the Carribbean
Resort. We played Heron Point, Waterway Hills (27 hole course)
and Eagle Nest. Waterway Hills was the best of the three (Nice
fairways and excellent greens plus many bunkers for those who
like the beach), however Eagle Nest was challenging. Recommend
checking into replays for the courses you play and schedule them
with your tee times. You only have to pay the cart fee and you
could save some bucks and still o.d. on golf. Good places to eat
are Capt. Benjamin's Calabash, Damon's Ribs, New York Prime (on
28th Ave.), Cagney's, Rossi's (Italian), and you can't forget
Hooter's. We decided to fly and used Myrtle Beach Express (1 1/2
hour filght from Newark - Landed at 11:00 a.m. and our tee time
was 1:00 p.m.). Air fair was cheap ($165.00 round trip - 4th
person flies free - they divide the other three rates amongst
the foursome). i AM 23 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN VISITING MYRTLE BEACH SINCE
ABOUT THE AGE OF 4. WE HAVE ALWAYS STAYED AT THE pOINDEXTER
EVERY YEAR AT EASTER TIME WITH MY FAMILY I EVEN TOOK MY HUSBAND
THERE FOR OUR HONEYMOON SINCE THEN WE HAD A BABY AND SHE IS 2
AND WE ARE TAKING HER THERE IN APRIL i REALLY CANT WAIT TO SEE
THE CHANGES SINCE IVE BEEN BACK IN 92 MYRLE BEACH IS A WONDERFUL
PLACE TO VISIT CLEAN, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, AND GREAT FOOD. i LIKE TO
EAT AT THE GHOST SHIP, i LOVE THE PIER THERE IS A WONDERFUL
WAITRESS THERE. AND IN APRIL WE ARE ALSO STAYING AT THE
POINDEXTER IT WAS A FAMILY TRADITION OF MINE WHEN I WAS GROWING
UP NOW I WANT TO MAKE IT A NEW TRADITION FOR MY FAMILY CANT WAIT
TO SEE YOU.aND IF I MOVE ANYWHERE IT WILL BE mYRTLE BEACH Myrtle Beach is on our mind everyday especially when the snow
is knee deep in Michigan. We visit Myrtle Beach every year and
hope to move there someday. See you in April. 3/1/97 My girlfriend and I are planning a trip with my two
girls, her two boys- husbands can't join us due to work
schedules. We are looking for a place to stay preferably near
Murrels Inlet or N. Myrtle for the April vacation April 19-26.
Any recomendations for condos or 2 bdrm hotel. I stayed at South
Winds as a child with my family 25+ years ago. I agree with all
thoose who love the Captains House its been a mainstay forever.
I'd love to hear some recomendations. thanks Lindy We will be vacationing in MB as usual this year and would
like to have a family portrait done by the ocean. Does anyone
have suggestions. We of course want quality , reputable, and
reasonable service. To put my two cents in here, I have been
going to MB and the area since I can remember. My earliest
memories (around age 2) are of walking from a small hotel to the
ocean! There is no place like MB. When I married and had
children I insisted that they have the same tradition and
memories that I cherish. My oldest is now 7 and LOVES THE BEACH.
I love myrtle beach it has been the best place in the world
LOVE IT! BEEN GOING TO MYRTLE BEACH FOR OVER 25 YEARS. MY
PARENTS STARTED TAKING THE THREE OF US CHILDREN. NOW I'M TAKING
MY FAMILY. WE HAVE TRYED OTHER PLACES BUT WE KEEP COMING BACK TO
MYRTLE BEACH. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO HERE. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN
IT WAS ALL TWO STORY MOTELS AND NO TRAFFIC. SO WHAT WE LOVE IT.
LOVE GOING TO CALABASH FOR DINNER. BARE FOOT LANDING, AND THE
FLEA MARKETS ARE THE BEST PLACE TO FIND THE GOOD TREASURES.
ENJOY YOUR TRIP, WE'LL SEE THE SUN AND FUN JUNE 13TH. ALREADY
MADE PLANS. THATS WHAT GETS US THROUGH THE WINTER! My wife and I have been coming to Myrtle Beach for 11 years
now.We love the beach and so do my kids. The restaurants are
usually really great! We especially like the Outrigger in N.
Myrtle Beach. One of the biggest concerns we have is the rate of
increased prices of condo's where we have stayed.Some are going
up at pace much quicker than the rate of inflation. Myrtle Beach
is still a great place to vacation! Any comments on
accommodations & prices J. Thomas 1-25-97 I have been going to Myrtle Beach for 25 years. I have been
to the Beaches in California, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. In my mind, there is no
comparison. Myrtle Beach has something for everyone in the
family, and for every age group. One of my most memorable trips
was meeting Vanna White in 1985. Thanks for all the great
memories! A year ago I visited MB for the first time and this is
definately a place I recomend my friends to visit. I suggest you
add one or to pictures on the webb for the people who has not
been there yet, and do not have an idea of who great the beaches
look like. Kind regards, from a very cold and snowy Stockholm in
Jan '97
