Thanksgiving message with autumn leaves and an orange pumpkin

Have you and your family ever dreamt of going out of town for Thanksgiving but have never done it before? If yes, let us share why you should spend Thanksgiving in North Myrtle Beach this year. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will allow the whole family to enjoy the excitement. Here are a few reasons to spend Thanksgiving this year in North Myrtle Beach.

Perfect for the Whole Family

One of the best things about staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals is we have something forever family. No matter your family’s size, we have vacation rentals that will accommodate your whole group, from homes that will sleep 8 to homes that sleep up to 20 people. Our vacation rentals provide a full kitchen to cook Thanksgiving Day dinner at home. You will feel at home in our vacation rentals, but you’ll be at the beach instead.

Dine Out Together

We understand you will be on vacation and may feel like cooking something other than Thanksgiving Day dinner this year. Instead of worrying about cleaning the kitchen after you’ve spent all day making dinner, why not enjoy someone else cooking? Many restaurants in the North Myrtle Beach area will be open on Thanksgiving Day for you, too. Some are House of Blues, Chestnut Hill, Captain George’s Seafood Buffet, and Margaritaville. For many of them, you may have to make a reservation, but check out each one to see if you need to call before you arrive.

Shopping

Another great reason to come to North Myrtle Beach this Thanksgiving Day is Black Friday! This is the best time to go to the beach and find great deals. Who doesn’t love going to the store to get a gift or two at a reasonable price? We know some stores will not be open on Thanksgiving Day, but that only gives you more time to spend with your family. Head over to Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach or Tanger Outlets in Myrtle Beach for some shopping on Black Friday for great deals!

While there are many other reasons why you need to vacation in North Myrtle Beach this Thanksgiving Day, we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next vacation to stay with us in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals, now is the time. We hope you and your family can experience the beach this Thanksgiving!
