Boardwalk Beach Resort - Myrtle Beach, SC - Family Vacation Spot Centrally Located

The Boardwalk Beach Resort is located minutes from many popular Myrtle Beach attractions at 2301 North Ocean Boulevard. Its central location makes it ideal for vacationers who aim to take advantage of the city's many tourist attractions, shopping, dining and entertainment options.

The Boardwalk Beach Resort sits on 700 feet of white sand beach. In addition to the surf and sand, the resort has a grassy picnic area equipped with tables, chairs, picnic benches, grills and umbrellas for your all your relaxation needs. A 250 foot lazy river adds to the watering options as do the three outdoor and two indoor pools. Three kiddy pools provide swimming options for little ones also. The Boardwalk also offers a large arcade for younger guest's entertainment.

The twenty year old resort has three towers with 130 suites and 353 rooms. According to guest reviews the best tower to stay in is the Main Tower due to its central location and the fact that it has the most recent updates. The rooms come in a variety of size and price options. Most the hotel's rooms and suites have kitchens, ovens, ranges, microwaves, refrigerators, cookware, flatware and dinnerware.

The resort has a very strict policy on security deposits for guests under twenty five. If you or any members of your party are under the age of twenty five you will be charged a $200 security deposit which is fully refundable after a room inspection. Some guests report that the hotel asked for an additional $50 per person security deposit on top of the listed $200. The policy is a result of damage done by college aged vacationers during spring break and is so strictly enforced that younger guests have reported a level of discrimination in their reviews.

The resort offers free parking on their parking deck, but the main office is across the street from the resort, so some people get confused about where to check in. They have their own parking deck and provide twenty four hour security. Security also patrols the beach and picnic area during summer time. Internet access is available, but at a small surcharge.

While the resort offers a concierge to guide your Myrtle Beach stay, the resort itself is lacking when it comes to dining options.

Golf, dining and entertainment packages can also be purchased in conjunction with your room from the resort.

Guests report that the resort is especially clean and the staff to be very helpful. Besides younger guests who feel discriminated against based on their age, there have been no reports of unhelpful staff or management at the Boardwalk Beach Resort.
