On the beach, I once encountered a small hotel with an amazing
children's pool, complete with water umbrellas and large ship
children could play in. Please let me know the hotel name and
website so I may book a reservation.

I am looking for a beach house type rental for my family. the
only problem is we were wanting to be close to the strip in
South Myrtle Beach. I am having trouble finding anything close
to the strip. Am I not looking in the right places or is there
nothing like this very close to the strip? I keep finding houses
on the opposite side of where I want. I'm not too familiar with
the area, but all I keep getting told is "it better be walking
distance of the strip". I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

We usually stay on shore drive and would love to stay near there
but this year my kids and their families would like to vacation
with us. We have 10 people going and would like to know if
anyone knows of any Ocean front / Ocean view, or one back
rentals? Due to my disability I would need easy assess and need
either ground level or have an elevator.
Please email me at ldgray68@hotmail.com or
lorieg07@sssnet.com and
or call (330)313-0993.
Thank You Very Much, Lorie Gray

We will be going to north myrtle beach the first week of Oct.
2007. I am concerned about the fall Bike Rally. It is nothing
against the Bikers, I just don't like the noise. I have been
told that motorcycles aren't allowed at the place we are
staying. How is the fall bike week in regards to traffic and
noise and waits in restaurants? Do most of them stay in Myrtle
beach ? I would appreciate some info from someone who has been
there during the fall rally. Thanks.

A friend recommended Sands Resorts several years ago & we have
been staying there every year. It is very family friendly, they
have a kids club & daily activities at the pool. They have a
water park & daily breakfast buffet which was included with our
stay (very good too). They have 6 resorts.

Where to see dolphins...we drove up to Calabash and took the
boat out to see the dolphins. We saw a lot of dolphins and had a
nice afternoon ride on the water.

stay June 3-9 or somewhere around that date! The only problem is
that we are going to be sophomores in college and are all under
21! Anyone have ideas of a place we can stay? we already looked
at myrtle beach tours and couldn't afford it! If you could email
me back that would be great!

Has anyone ever been attacked by a shark in Myrtle Beach? Are
there Jelly Fish on the beach? Is there anywhere you can go
scuba diving or swimming with the dolphins?

Editors Note:
-Sharks, don't know for sure, but there probably has been an
occasional minor bite. Best advice anywhere, stay out of the
water in early morning and late afternoon - they are feeding
then and accidents happen. Don't wear shiny jewelry or bathing
suits
-Jellyfish - as with most beaches they come ashore occasionally
Usually
later in the summer. MSG works well if biten
-Dolphins - no organized swims we are aware of, Dolphins have
become more
and more protected over the years. However, you regularly see
them near the
shoreline You may be able to find boats that go out on dolphin
cruises

We have a group of eight brothers and friends from our church
group that need a place to stay the week of June 9 through the
16. We don't drink or smoke and can ensure that your home or
condo will be left as we found it. We are under the age of 25,
yet we are responsible young men. Please call or email us if you
are willing to give us a chance on your home or condo. Thank you

We went to Bike week in the Spring every year for the last 3
years. BEFORE you make a reservation it is wise to call and see
if bikes are allowed on the premises. The M Grande in SurfSide
Beach is great!! The renovations are complete, and has all the
amenities you can expect from a nice resort and they have a
parking garage that on the first two levels accommodate trailers
and they allow bikes. The garage is walked by a security guard.
The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. They have an
outdoor deck and often have a live band and cook out for Bike
Week.
Best places to visit: Dick's Last Resort, The Dog House
South, SBB in Murrel's Inlet, The Original Benjamin's Calabash
in Restaurant Row, Thorny's for steaks and seafood (there may be
a wait but is so worth it), a little more pricey is Key West
Grill in Barefoot Landing but they serve great food and even
Cuban favorites like fried plantains and Cuban sandwiches and
while you are there..go to Fat Tuesday's for great frozen
drinks. MB is all around a great get away spot and since I live
in Maryland, not too far away. This years adventure has a Pirate
cruise in Georgetown , Drunken Jack's in
Murrel's Inlet, and whatever else we decide to get into!!

We are having guest from Ohio visit and they want to visit
Mrytle Beach. Would like to stay over night either April 13 to
14 or April 14 to 15. Just be one night stay and we do not have
a big expense account. Even though we are approx. 2 hrs from the
beech, it would be better that we stay the evening to enjoy the
night life there. If anyone can help us out we would greatly
appreciate.

Editors Note:
Ms. Gregory,
The easiest thing to do is use the hotel search on our site from
any page, then select sort by price. I did a search for the
dates you mentioned in Myrtle Beach, SC and prices begin at
$49/night at the Days Inn. We'll also post this in the
travelogue to see if anyone else has any comments.
Hope this helps.

A group of about 12 are looking for a house that will rent to 18
year olds for mid July or early August of 2007. Ocean front
would be preferable but anything would be great. Please email me
and let me know of any places that would work.
Thanks,
Robert

My husband and I usually go to NMB for 3 days during the May bikers rally; not to ride but to watch. We always enjoyed staying at The Cherry Grove
Manor and being able to sit out front in their rocking chairs and viewing
the different bikes as they went by. The Manor is gone now and we are
looking for somewhere comparable, any suggestions? We are in our 50's and do own a Honda Magna bike...we just do not go to
ride...just need a spring break and enjoy the bikes at NMB (not interested
in Myrtle).

We have been vacationing at MB for the last five years and really enjoy it. While all things never go perfect people generally do their best to work
with you to make things right. That is one thing that has kept us coming
back every year. This past summer we finally met a restaurant manager that
does not deserve to be in MB. Gene Holz, Jr the manager at the Jackalope at
Barefoot is about as smooth as 60 grit sandpaper. We ate there as our last
night on vacation. We had never eaten there before but from the ads it
seemed as an upscale restaurant, boy can ads be misleading. We had a total
of eight meals, of which 4 were good, 2 were so so and 2 were just not
right. It is sad to say that the 4 good meals were the kids. One steak
ordered rare came out medwell and a meal with cream sauce was replaced with
water sauce.
When I tried to talk with Gene Holz, Jr, he took offense that we didn't
think his place was great. He went to great lengths to tell me his chef was
professionally trained. Maybe he forgot that his chef doesn't personally
cook every meal himself. Maybe he forgot that these patrons were spending
$200+. I don't know what his problem was then, but I do know what part of
his problem is now. We will never go back to that restaurant again, and we
will tell anyone who is interested what our opinion of the restaurant and
the manager was, with the hopes that we can influence their dining
preference.
Again, we really do enjoy just about everything about MB, except the
Jackalope and Gene Holz, Jr.
