>>Staying at Myrtle Beach
What’s New
The lodging options have grown dramatically all along the Grand
Strand, but few are as impressive as the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes
(866-437-4113; MarinaInnatGrandeDunes.com), a luxurious European-flavored retreat
within the expansive Grande Dunes development. Overlooking the Intracoastal
Waterway and a 130-slip marina, the Inn features 230 spacious rooms and suites
with distinctive furnishings and water and golf course views. In addition to its
own dining and recreational facilities, the Inn is easily accessible to the
impressive amenities within Grande Dunes including its award-winning, Roger
Rulewich-designed golf course.
For beach lovers, SeaSide (800-433-5710; SeasideMB.com) is a new
North Myrtle Beach oceanfront resort that feels more like an upscale
boutique hotel. Its one- to three-bedroom condominiums are comfortably furnished and
thoughtfully accessorized and offer panoramic views of the Atlantic or the
Intracoastal.
Don't Forget...
On the South Strand, there are still few places more comfortable
to rest your head than the Guest Cottages at Wachesaw Plantation (800-422-4777; Wachesaw.com). There is a limited number of cottages available for outside rental, and these
quaint town homes are beautifully decorated, fully equipped and nestled within
groves of towering oaks.
