Myrtle Beach Lodging Not Top Notch, but Not A Dump
 
Hi,

I am looking for lodging in Myrtle Beach for myself and husband for four nights the fourth week in June. I wanted to stay at Kingston Plantation, but rates start at $350, and that is way too expensive for me. Here is what I am looking for: on the ocean, one bedroom, kitchen (not just microwave and small fridge). I want something clean, comfortable, spacious, with furnishings that are not worn and outdated. I guess I am willing to pay around $200 a night. Please let me know if there is something that would fit my requirements. Thanks.

Bingo! Try the Beach Cove. You can get an ocean front 1 BR suite with said amenities for $179.00 per night. We stayed there and it is very nice and is across the street from BArefoot landing, a shop/restaurant complex. Try: www.beachcove.com

If you want something along the main strand I would suggest the LandMark. Not sure of the rates, but my aunt and her family just got back and loved it. Right on the beach. Their room had a separate bedroom, kitchen and living area and balcony. Also, try to the Crown Reef or Coral Beach.

Measure,
You might want to check out the Best Western Carolinian. My boyfriend and I have stayed there the past 2 years and like it - and we've reserved again for a trip this summer. It's not fancy, but not a dump and we didn't need all the extra amenities a lot of the resorts have like lazy rivers, restaurants, etc so it worked perfectly. I know they recently opened a new tower, but I think it's all suites, so you'll probably end up in the old part of the hotel we've stayed in. Last year we had an oceanfront room with a kitchenette. I think it's at 25th? and N. Ocean Drive, which is in Myrtle about a 5-7 minute drive from Broadway at the Beach and not far from the Pavilion.
Check out either www.patricia.com or www.bestwestern.com for rate info.
