My girlfriend and I can't really afford anything too expensive, so I thought I'd see if anyone has any suggestions. Obviously the place doesn't have to be that great, as long as we have a roof and a bed.
Planning to go down Thursday April 16th and come back that Saturday. Doesn't matter if it's mid, north, or south myrtle. Beach front isn't important as long as we can at least walk to the beach.
My husband was just down there several weeks ago and stayed one night at a place called Sun Fun. It's not fancy, but clean, cheap and his room had a little kitchen. It's a block from the beach. I couldn't find a website for it, but you could look for them online, get the number and call. We hate the big resort type places and are always looking for smaller, cheaper, but nice, places like this. I've never been there, but plan to go in a couple of weeks and am planning to stay there when I do. We are planning a move in the next couple of months and I am going down to check out housing, etc. So anyway, I might be there before you are and if so, I'll try to remember and get back to you about what it was like and with some pictures, etc.
You're welcome. I hope you like it. Actually, I couldn't sleep last night, woke up around 4 am and ended up booking a flight to MB the first part of April. I'm planning to call that place today and get a room for us. So it looks like I will be there a week or so prior to your visit. I plan on taking lots of pictures, so I will also try to remember and post some on here so you can see what the Sun Fun looks like. We're going from 4/7 until Easter Sunday. My husband said it was a nice little family run place. He told me that when he first talked to them by phone, they quoted a price of 35 and then when he got there they said it was 39. He questioned them about it and they were really nice and gave him the room for 35. He said they were really friendly. So much so that he felt kind of bad about even bringing it up, since it was only for one night and just for 4 dollars difference.
It's often difficult to find these types of cute little places online since they don't have the budget for a website or a lot of advertising. We always prefer places like this as compared to the big resort places and not just for the money. We like the experience better.
Okay, I just called them and booked a room. They are charging me 44/night, which seems reasonable to me, considering that my husband stayed there for 35, earlier in the season and this time it's for 2 people instead of one.
The owners of the Sun Fun are nice folks... You can also try the Sea Echo which is right around the corner. Both are family owned and operated. Older motels but nice folks who own/operate. Many repeat guests over the years. Greg and Jaime own the Sun Fun and Billy owns the Sea Echo. His number is 843-448-6441 if you want to give him a buzz.
While you're at either place, stop in to Harry's Breakfast on 24th Ave also.. really good Greek friends of mine own it.. Again, family owned and operated...
Really? You got your room for 40 and mine was 44? I guess you're a better negotiator than I! Hope you have a great trip.
I'm so excited to be going. Like I said, I'll try to post some pictures for you.
