PLANNING YOUR MYRTLE BEACH VACATION

How To Get the Most Pleasure From Myrtle Beach
By Joe Leech... Myrtle Beach Vacationer Since 1960

When planning your Myrtle Beach vacation, it is important to choose a city location that suits your needs and budget. With the wide variation, it can be hard for you to choose. Before planning your Myrtle Beach vacation, sit down and figure your budget. You need to plan for hotel, meals, and entertainment.

As one of the most affordable hotels, The Ocean Plaza is a bargain. Over two-hundred feet of beach are adjacent to the hotel. Beachfront service caters to guests needs.  Unfortunately, parking is hard to come by. Many guests find themselves parking in lots a block away and then having to walk to the hotel along quiet streets and alleys. This can be a safety issue for the solo guest attempting a Myrtle Beach vacation.

For a few more dollars per night guests can stay at the lavish sounding Boardwalk Beach Resort. The resort sits on seven-hundred feet of sandy beach and is an easy walk to the nearby amusement park. The accommodations at this hotel aren’t well suited to a family traveling with young children. However, it can be a perfect choice for the business traveler.

Litchfield Plantation includes a private beach on the plantation’s secluded island.  The price is above average which makes it hard for the average person to afford. Despite the lavish accommodations, this hotel is probably not a great choice for your Myrtle Beach vacation unless you have the money to spare. If that is the case, why not stay on a plantation during your Myrtle Beach vacation?

Another good choice when planning a Myrtle Beach vacation is a stay at the Sheraton Myrtle Beach Hotel. The hotel was built just a few years ago and offers all the amenities a traveler will need. Guests rave over the friendly staff, spotless rooms, and exceptional comfort. While slightly higher in price, fussy travelers will find themselves happy with this hotel selection.

Private homes and cottages, as shown below, offer still another alternative and are nice for large family groups. A wide selection can be found on the internet by searching with keywords like "Myrtle Beach Cottages".  One thing to be sure and check on is the availability of a swimming pool if you tire of the beach. Also check    if you have free beach access and parking if not directly on the beach.

You want to enjoy your trip and it’s important that you choose a hotel that has staff that understands how important your comfort is. When you take a bit of time before you make your reservations you can find accommodations that match your needs to a tee.

Still another option is the condominium resort. Many time share companies have facilitities in this area, and also will RENT a condo to non members for a slight premeium. Be aware however, that "in season", time share weeks are hard to get and you need to book nearly a year in advance.   If you are military or have a close military associated relative, don't overlook the bargains at http://www.afvclub.com

Once you have chosen a suitable hotel, you can continue making plans for your Myrtle Beach vacation. It can save time and energy if you research activities in advance. Many attractions offer discounts to tourists who purchase their tickets early. Some online sites even offer discount coupons on attraction that are found in Myrtle Beach.

With Myrtle Beach within tolerable driving distance of many states, you can save on airfare. This cost saving factor allows you to spend the majority of your Myrtle Beach vacation budget on the thing that matters most which is having fun!

Lastly, another key step is to plan, or at least know of, your recreation options. The internet is one source we all think of as we are   "here" but if you write off to the Myrtle Beach Area Visitors Bureau, you can receive several nice full color brochures, information on golf courses, and yes.. DISCOUNT Certificates.

Plan and enjoy!
