weather and resort ??

Have heard several positive reviews on Avista. Only negative comments were pretty minor. Think one was lack of counter space in a bathroom.

Fairly new building. Great location. Sits between Ocean Drive and Cherry Grove stoplights. Quick hop in car to stores and restaurants on Main Street and Sea Mountain Highway. If young or young at heart it%26#39;s not a bad walk. Can find pretty much anything you will need without going out on Rt 17.

Weather is unpredictible. We were there in NMB mid May a few years ago and it was very warm. Laid in sun and swam in outdoor pool and lazy river. Ocean water was still too cold for swimming.

Last year in mid May it was much cooler and windy. One day warm enough to lay on beach and the next too cool. It was bike week so on cooler days we went to bike shows. Worked out pretty good.

Sea Island Inn by owner

I thought that Sea Island Inn were condos that people could purchase. If this is the case, where could I find a rental by owner?

Sea Island Inn by owner

I found one at www.vrbo.com under OTHER PROPERTIES in Myrtle Beach but it%26#39;s a larger three-bedroom unit. You may find more there but I didn%26#39;t see Sea Island listed separately with the other properties so have a closer look at OTHER PROPERTIES. In my conversation with Steve Chapman, general manager, he said Sea Island units are privately owned and about 90% of the owners put them up for rentals, either through the hotel or outside agency.

Thanks uacturbo.

It seems like there would be more listed somewhere. Hopefully someone else will know of another place to check.

Any help is appreciated.

Spa and/or Charlseton SC??

Looking for a well located special place to stay for up to a week t(in March 07) to celebrate 60th BD with husband..not been to area to stay? Suggestions? too long a time for one place? other Spa/etc. in that area? Thanks!

Spa and/or Charlseton SC??

Check The Sanctuary Hotel on Kiawah Island. Elegant hotel with excellent, pampering service plus a great spa and easy trip into Charleston. Expensive, but wonderful.

Spa and/or Charlseton SC??

I second the Sanctuary at Kiawah, but also add Charleston Place ( dowtown). You could actually split the week between the two places for a great trip.

Greetings! If you haven%26#39;t booked your trip already, consider a place like the Vendue Inn in the heart of Downtown Charleston. The Spa is not located on the property but it is so close. Assistance with acquiring all services is available, and a few services are included in your room rate. Several spas are within walking distance and some services can be in-room. Give them a call and see what can be arranged.

Myrtle Beach Area 8 Bedroom Home to Rent

What a zillion places on the internet for Myrtle Beach? Any ideas on picking a nice home/cottage rental for a family of 10 adults l teen 2 little ones. Would like at least an ocean view under $3000 or is that an impossibility? July 21-28 ish Help!

Myrtle Beach Area 8 Bedroom Home to Rent

Here are two sites for North Myrtle Beach. You could probably get by with less than 8 bedrooms. Most rentals come with a master bedroom with one bed and all the other bedrooms would have two double or queen beds each. Four to five bedrooms would probably do the trick. Little ones love blow up mattresses at the beach.

A single large oceanfront house will run in the $5000 range in July. Block or two back the rates are about half that.

They do have oceanfront duplexes. Two, three and four rentals in one building. Two examples would be Sun Chase and Sweet Caroline on the Elliott site. Both in your price range. Might even find one with a pool.

Cherry Grove section of NMB has a backwater marsh with rows of channel houses. Back of house is on the channel. Most have docks for fishing. Some of the larger ones have pools and game rooms.

Short 3-4 block walk to beach for the adults and teens. Several public parking areas at the beach if you wanted to drive little ones over in the car.

Myrtle Beach Area 8 Bedroom Home to Rent

I%26#39;ll just add a few other places to search...

www.vrbo. com (these are vacation rentals by owner...sometime some very good rates)

And a realty company that I have used when family comes to town....www.booerealty.com

Good luck on the hunt!

:)

Best bet for cottages is Surfside and south (Litchfield Beach). Most of Myrtle and North Myrtle are condos/hotels. Being late (that is not booking last year) you might find it hard to get something right on the ocean and the ocean ones are more expensive. You can get many cottages just a street away. My sister rented a few times in Litchfield. It%26#39;s away from the hustle and bustle but not far for a drive to Myrtle.

I believe this www.surfsiderealty.com/rental/query.html is who my sister has used to book. They have a nice query feature to see if it is available and to input your requirements.

Cherry Grove in North Myrtle is loaded w/ beach and channel houses.

Hello, good luck in your search.. I will be staying in Garden City the middle of July and we booked through Dunes.com. We have stayed in their houses the past several years and have been quited pleased with their service. We booked an 7 bedroom 7.5 bath and I believe it was like 8000+. It is ocean front with a pool. Like the other above have stated staying across the street will save you tons of cash!!

Others are Garden City Realty, Seaside Realty these are Garden City, Surfside Beach area!

Good luck!!

RV's in Charleston

My husband and I are planning a trip down the coast from NC to GA. The endof January. We want to spend sometime in Charleston. Are there any RV campgrounds in the area or parking in town for an RV? We are not opposed to renting a car if possible and staying out of the city. Any help would be appreciated. Also any other places we should make it our business to see alnog the way. Beaches? Islands? Savannah, GA is our other big stop and RV issues are the same. once again any help would be appreciated.

RV's in Charleston

I am not sure if there are any RV campgrounds, but there is one in North Charleston, but I don%26#39;t know how safe that is. Plus, it is a drive to downtown. There may be one also north of Mt. Pleasant towards, Awendaw... ? not sure. As for RV parking downtown, I would say no. The streets are very narrow and just getting an RV to a parking spot would be hard. If you wanted to stay downtown and are going to be sleeping in the RV, then there are some uncovered public parking spots by the Riverdogs stadium but you would have to call the police department to see if you can stay there overnight (also that lot is used by the medical university during the day to park). Another option is calling the Charleston Riverview Hotel (soon to be the Marriott?). I know they are having specials right now for like $69/night, and parking is included with that price (all uncovered outside). So, maybe you could just rent the room and sleep in your RV and then you wouldn%26#39;t get in trouble for sleeping in their parking lot. That is also near the Riverdogs stadium (';The Joe';). That way you can take a bus, taxi, or maybe even the hotel shuttle dowtown and you wouldn%26#39;t have to rent a car.

RV's in Charleston

Here is a list of campgrounds in South Carolina rv-clubs.us/southcarolina_rv_campgrounds.htm… You don%26#39;t want to be driving the RV in the downtown area, that%26#39;s for sure though you may only need to take a cab in and out. Do a google for rv campgrounds in Georgia and you%26#39;ll probably find the same list as the one for South Carolina.

You should make an effort to visit one of the plantations in the area. As to beaches, it%26#39;s not swimming season but it%26#39;s always nice to visit Folly Beach and Sullivans Island no matter the time of year. Most of the islands are gated and you can%26#39;t access unless your staying there but Folly Beach and Sullivans are accessible.

There is a campground on Hwy 17 South near Redtop (south of downtown Charleston) that accomodates RVs. It is called Oak-something; I can%26#39;t remember the exact name. It is near the intersection of Hwy 17 with Bees Ferry Road. Edisto Beach State Park also has a campground right on the beach; I see lots of RVs there when at Edisto It is around south of 45 miles downtown Charleston.

I wouldn%26#39;t attempt to drive an RV downtown. I remember as a child riding on school buses through the downtown streets (which were MUCH less congested then than they are now) and what close calls we had with other vechicles and how many tree limbs the bus would ';brush by';. Most of the public parking downtown is in parking garages that won%26#39;t even accomodate a custom van, much less an RV. I would rent a car to sightsee around the area, especially downtown.

hotel for honeymoon? or should we look elsewhere?

We are planning a honeymoon this June 17-24th. Several people have suggested MB. I have never been, she has been with her family. She doesnt remember it as a place for honeymooners- but several people have said that has changed slightly. So we are both open minded.

I am a very hyper person. I have never been to the beach- but cant imagine just being happy laying on the beach all day. I need to go do stuff. She on the other hand would love to stay in a ocean front room where she could just walk out on the beach. lol. I liked MB for the wide array of activities offered. We dont need a spa, or someting super fancy. Would like something clean, kinda nice, and in a good location for activities. (hope this hotel exists outside my mind)

Could you recomend some hotels? Been reading reviews. Would like to keep it to $200 a night, maybe cheaper. Or is there another beach local we should be considering?

hotel for honeymoon? or should we look elsewhere?

Well, I had my honeymoon in Ocean City, MD. I didn%26#39;t like it at all. Although it was in March and the coldest few days of the year. The hotel was nice but that%26#39;s about it. Since we couldn%26#39;t afford to go too far away from home we did what we had to do at the time. But that was years and years ago.

MB being a place for honeymooners all depends on what you like to do. I see you are from Kentucky so it%26#39;s not that far away. Your budget is about $200.00 per night and trying to get oceanfront rooms in June at that price might be a problem. And I particularly don%26#39;t like to go to a beach town and not stay on the beach.

MB has lots of nice restaurants. Casual and Romantic ones for a nice night out. Remember MB is still a hot family vacation spot. I suggest staying either in NMB, MB around the Avenues, the area around 21st Avenue and North or staying further south of MB like in Surfside, Garden City or Murrels Inlet. Don%26#39;t stay in the area where the Pavilion was or on SOUTH OCEAN BLVD.

Hotels:

-Marriott Grand Dunes (www.myrtlebeachmarriott.com) probably the perfect honeymoon hotel. It is beautiful there. The beach is quiet and the hotel is set up and reminds you of something tropical. We walked around there while vacationing in the summer and I loved it.

-Grande Shores (www.grandeshores.com)

-Breakers Paradise Towers (www.breakers.com) Make sure you ask for Paradise Towers

-Sea Island Inn (www.seaislandinn.com)

There are others but these are nice and in good locations.

Activities:

-Palace Theatre: www.palacetheatremyrtlebeach.com

-House of Blues

-Broadway at the Beach (www.broadwayatthebeach.com) Shopping, Dining, Nightlife

-Carolina Opry (www.carolinaopry.com)

-Dixie Stampede (www.dixiestampede) this is something you may or may not like. But it could be fun.

And other attractions as well but just to name a few. Look under attractions on this site.

-Restaurants: Too many to name. Look under Dining in the site and you will see some restaurants and the comments.

Romantic:

The Library is good

Sea Captain%26#39;s House (I didn%26#39;t like the service for us and we left but everyone who was there seemed to be having a good time) And it%26#39;s oceanfront and you get a clear view of the ocean

hotel for honeymoon? or should we look elsewhere?

For a nice romantic dinner drive about 18 miles south to Murrells Inlet.There%26#39;s about 7 or 8 restaurants in a row located on what is called the marsh walk.Walking this boardwalk at night with the torches lit and stopping for a drink at one of the outdoor bars with entertainment is more romantic than the Library IMO.

Good restaurant choices are Divine Fish House and Drunken Jacks.The Banana Mandarin Grouper dish I had at Divines was excellent.

Marriott Grande Dunes is a super location for a honeymoon. As for entertainment, we are older and do not like just sitting on beach either. Broadway at the Beach is a great place to go for nightlife. We see lots of honeymooners here. MB has lower end accomodations, middle of the road, high end. You will find somewhere that fits what you are looking for.

Ditto to all of the above....MsMaryland has a great list for some hotel options....you might even look at our local ';bed and breakfast'; Seredippity Inn...not oceanfront, but within walking distance and may be more in your price range --- but they will pamper you like you wont beleive!

I agree with TonyMK on heading on down to Murrells Inlet...great area to walk around, listen to some wonderful music (all types) and feast on some wonderful seafood......have to note my favs there --- Hot Fish Club (love the outdoor gazebo area), Olivers Lodge (one of the oldest places there!) and Lee%26#39;s Inlet Kitchen (another longtimer!)

Congrats...and enjoy!

:)
