Beach House in Myrtle Beach
If you're planning the perfect beach vacation for your family finding the right accommodations will be at the top of your list. Where you stay is one of the most important factors in your vacation. A bad experience could ruin an otherwise great vacation. Many people prefer renting a Beach House in Myrtle Beach due to its spacious size, privacy and amenities. Amenities that often include easy beach access, quiet neighborhoods, swimming pool, hot tub, Jacuzzi, free internet, full kitchens, washer/dryer, and so much more!
When deciding on a rental be sure to consider your individual needs and prioritize what is most important to you and your family. Do you want to be right on the beach so you can wake with the sun and have breakfast on your sundeck while watching the tide go in and out? Is it more important to be within walking distance to all the activities the Grand Strand offers? Perhaps a 2nd or 3rd row home would be ideal if it was quieter and had its own private swimming pool. Many people like to wake up by strolling the beach while others prefer to stroll to the nearest coffee shop. We have properties that offer all of these things, whatever your needs are.
If you have children and pets you’ll want to find out which beaches and rentals are kid- and dog-friendly. You won’t want a rental with a long steep walk to and from the beach if you have small children. Many properties provide your beach toys – umbrellas, chairs, towels, etc. – so keep this in mind when looking at properties otherwise you’ll need to find a place to rent all of your beach supplies.
