Booking Online Has Never Been Easier

Choosing the perfect vacation is a process filled with logistical hurtles that can sometimes become more of a chore than a pleasant experience. Making calls to check the availability of properties, and details on properties themselves can remain a murky subject. Forget seamlessly booking online right? Well not anymore.

The Ease of Booking

The time leading up to your vacation should be one excitement and anticipation. From choosing destinations, dates when you and your family can get together, to selecting the right property for your adventure, nailing down the details can take some serious work. But we at North Beach Realty thought that this process should be one where finding the perfect home or condo is an enjoyable process filled with thoughts of the vacation to come, and information readily available for those all important details. Once you have your ducks in a row booking online using our brand new website is easy.

We’ve been hard at work creating a brand new website to showcase our selection of vacation rentals. Our goal was to provide a platform where our guest can easily view properties, choose dates they would like to come, and be able to curtail their vacation without the hassles of wondering if the property they have chosen will be available to rent for their vacation. Our new website allows guests to look ahead and book early, or see what’s available in the near future for quick getaway. Everything is updated in real time for the most up to date information.

The keys to an easy to use platform meant one that was available on any device, up to date, and built around providing you the guest the features you need to book confidently. So in closing, please visit our new website and let us know what you think. We would love to hear from our guests about the process and any ways we can continue to make booking a vacation a pleasurable process. We hope you will find searching through properties a breeze and information about the North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach areas useful in planning your next visit here.

Don't Miss These Mardi Gras Happenings!

According to Wikipedia, Mardi Gras is also called Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday. In English, it refers to carnival events and celebrations beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three King’s Day) and ends the day before Ash Wednesday. In France, Mardi Gras is a reflection of the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the fasting ritual of the Lenten season.

While each city in our country and abroad celebrate in their own special way, the most popular practices include parades where participants wear masks and costumes. We’re all familiar with the beads that New Orleans is well-known for handing out on behalf of the holiday.

On February 9, 2016, Dick’s Last Resort will hold their 24^th annual Mardi Gras Parade around Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach beginning at 5 p.m. The parade starts at Greg Norman’s and winds around the waterway and parking lots to Dick’s Last Resort. Come out and enjoy the parade complete with floats, animals, beads and candy! There will be prizes given out for the best and worst floats as well as a crowning of the King and Queen. A musical performance by Pale Horse will take place. This family friend event wraps up at 11 p.m.

Castano’s in Barefoot Landing will be holding a Mardi Gras Party from 5-9 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9 that is open to the public. Dress up and you could win a gift certificate at Castono’s for best costume. There will be live entertainment, prizes for the best costume, party favors, decorations, and free King’s Cake. Come for dinner and take advantage of the drink and food specials on behalf of the holiday.

If you’re planning on being in the area for that long overdue golf vacation be sure to look us up at Beachcomber Vacations. We have plenty of accommodations that include pet friendly vacation rentals that you’re sure to love!
