Tropical Oasis??

Whats this place like??Were looking for somewhere cheap, cheerful and safe.Any ideas,not on a budget but dont want to break the bank either??Euros doing well agains the dollar these days!!

Tropical Oasis??

Wow...you%26#39;ve stumped me on this one. I%26#39;ve been searching thru just about anything I can get my hands on, and.....does this place actually exist? It%26#39;s not listed in any of the material that I have, and not even in our local phone directory....it could be a property that was here in the past, and....as many of the smaller places have faced....consumed by a larger property.

When you say cheap...what price range are you looking at? There are a number of places around that wont cost you an arm and a leg, and still be a decent place to stay. You may want to look at staying what we call ';second row'; or even ';third row'; (across the street or 1 block away from the beach) to save some $$ on your accomodations. If there are a number of you traveling together you might look at booking a larger condo (some OF places offer condos with as many as 5 bedrooms). I know when I travel I%26#39;d rather spend the extra cash on things to do, my eats and drinks than the extra fluff for my hotel room.

Give us some more info (time of year visiting/numbre in party) and I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll get some suggetions of places to call it a night.

Tropical Oasis??

planning on staying for june(hear its wild),july and then round it off with a roadtrip,will be a working holiday

June and July can both be a bit crazy...you said a working holiday? Are you planning on working here at the beach? If so...a number of potential employers will assist with housing, esp. Burroughs and Chapin and some of the lifeguard services.

I%26#39;ve been playing on YouTube.com the last day or two. Typed in Myrtle Beach. Several pages into it there was a video from two girls showing their ';cheap'; motel room. Wasn%26#39;t much bigger than a large closet.

I%26#39;ve stayed in some dives in my time. I couldn%26#39;t believe there was a place for rent in MB like what they showed.

Be very careful just going by price. Go for cheapest you might get a place not fit to stay in.

as i said we not trying to do a budget vacation,would like decent value but dont want to live in a box for the summer.Accommodation is very expensive herre,and the euro is strong at the moment.Would $120-$180 per week get you a decent place

No, $120 - $180 per week would be out of the question for June %26amp; July. I don%26#39;t even know if you could get a ';not so decent'; place for that.

Was biting my toungue on this one. Didn%26#39;t want to be first to say no. I%26#39;m figuring $120 would be close to daily rate that time of year.

As somebody said earlier, the farther off the beach you get the cheaper the rates. Even then I think we paid in the $90 range for a motel room at Red Roof Inn on Rt 17 a few years ago.

Have to agree...not sure even if you stayed ';10th row'; you%26#39;d find rates that low. You might check out Midtown Motor Inn...they are located right downtown, not far from BoDo%26#39;s German restaurant (a fun hangout for the younger crowd)...only thing is, they are right across the street from the old pavillon, so not sure how far along the deconstruction will be at that time...but that could also work in your favor.....

If you are planning on working the beach, a number of employees do help subsidize your housing. So thats something to check into.

good luck!

Don%26#39;t worry im not going to take offense to it!!!but say for example where would ';senior weekers'; stay??is their accommodation expensive??eg Rainbow Court?/The Grand Inn ??

I WOULD NOT recommend Rainbow Court, nor anything in the close proximity of that establishment. You mentioned police, that might be a prime location for law enforcement to be found. Night time around that area can be very dicey. I am sure you want to stay on the beach, stick to addresses that say Ocean Blvd or Ocean Drive. Ocean Drive is North Myrlte Beach, not as much night life in NMB for younger people then in Myrtle Beach itself. Dayton House is a suggestion
