3 Things You Can Do in North Myrtle Beach this Spring

Hello spring phrase and flowers on a white background. Studio shot. Flat lay.

Spring is just around the corner, which only means that warmer temps are coming. It’s also a great time to visit North Myrtle Beach with the family. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will have you close to the fun. Let’s look below at three things you can do in the area this spring.

Barefoot Landing

If you’ve never been to Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, you are missing out on so much. It’s one of the top attractions for the area for many visitors, and we have to agree with them. You can check out live entertainment at House of Blues or take a tour at Crooked Hammock Brewery for the adults. For the kids, they have a few more fun options such as the carousel, LuLu’s Beach Arcade & Ropes Course to Alligator Adventure. Plus, you’ll be able to grab a bite to eat and do a little shopping.

North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex

Another great place to check out on your next trip this spring is the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex. If the kids need to get a little energy out of their system, the playground is where it’s at. You can also bike, walk, hike a trail or even play a little sport. They also have during the season different events that happen, so be on the lookout for what is happening there.

Beach It

The final thing you and your family can do this spring spends the day or week at the beach. Coming to North Myrtle Beach while the rest of the kids are in school can be a great way to recharge and enjoy the low crowds. Once summer comes, you’ll find that you’ll have a harder chance of getting that perfect spot on the beach as you listen to the kids play in the background without the crowds. Think of the new memories you’ll make on your trip this spring.

While there are many other things that you can do this spring here in North Myrtle Beach, we wanted to share these. If you are still on the hunt for your next adventure to the area and need a North Myrtle Beach vacation rental, give us a call. We can’t wait to see you this spring with your family.

Why Should You #BookDirect with Seaside Vacations?

Are you and your family planning a vacation to North Myrtle Beach this year? We need to tell you why you should #bookdirect with us if you are. Many online third-party vacation rental sites can add a 5%-20% additional fee to your reservation. We know that your vacations are significant and may limit how much you can spend each year. Seaside Vacations wants to make sure that you get the most out of your money when visiting the North Myrtle Beach area. The only way that you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation without getting hit with that unexpected fee is by booking direct today!

What You Need to Know About Booking Direct

On February 2^nd, 2022, we celebrate the 5^th Annual Book Direct Day, which was created to help educate vacation rental guests on the benefits of booking directly through an owner or Property Management Company vs. using a Third-Party agency such as Airbnb, HomeAway, VBRO & TripAdvisor.

While you may recognize these big-name companies and their gimmicks in helping you save money, you will soon learn that they will charge you a fee for using their website. Who wants to pay extra just to try and save a little money? Some of the expenses that you may incur when you book with an OTA can range from 5%-20% of the total cost of your vacation rental, which in turn can cost you thousands of dollars extra depending on which rental you choose.

Why You Should Book Direct with Us

3 Fun Things to Do in North Myrtle Beach

beach, pier, people on beach with umbrella

Does your family love to visit North Myrtle Beach every year, but you’re not sure what to do in the area? Allow us to share with you three fun things that you can do in the area that you will want you to do for years to come. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will allow you and your family to be close to the fun. Let’s look below at what those three fun things to do are in the area.

Ropes Course

One thing that has become very popular over the past few years is ropes courses. These are good for the younger ones in the family and the older teens. There are several places along the Grand Strand where your family can head to check out the courses. If you’re looking to stay near your vacation rental in North Myrtle Beach, then head over to LuLu’s Beach Arcade at Barefoot Landing. This is a good place for the whole family to enjoy a little time together. While the next two aren’t in North Myrtle Beach, we still wanted to share them with you, Myrtle Beach Zipline Adventures and Radical Ropes Adventure Park. All these rope courses will challenge you to get through the course without any help and have a good time!

Break Out Fun

Another fun thing that the whole family can get into is trying their hand at Break Out Myrtle Beach Escape Room. This has become a trendy thing to do around the country, and it’s a great thing to do on a rainy day. Decide on a day to do the escape room and work together as a team to find your way out. There are many times that you must try and do along with a few rooms but working together is the way to go. From tweens to teens, the older kids will love this adventure, and it is something that they can do with their friends. Think of the memories you’ll make on this fun outing together on your next vacation.

Shopping

For many vacationing to North Myrtle Beach means that they get to do a little shopping too. There are two outlet malls in the area that are a must-visit on your next trip. Whether you’re getting the kids ready for school or looking for a good deal, there is something for everyone here. There are outlet malls, but there are malls, Barefoot Landing, and Broadway at the Beach. Both Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing offers many different events during the year, too, so be sure to check those out.

While there is an unlimited amount of things to do in the area, we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next trip to stay at one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals, give us a call. We hope to see you soon and hear about what you did on your trip!

3 Reasons Why You Need to Take a Vacation to North Myrtle Beach This Fall

3 Ways to Decorate Your Front Porch This Fall

Can you believe that summer has come and gone, and it’s fall already here on the Grand Strand? We can’t either, and we thought that now is the time to escape to North Myrtle Beach this fall. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will allow you and your family to stay close to the fun. Let’s look below at three reasons why you need to take a vacation to North Myrtle Beach this fall.

Beautiful Weather

If you’re not a fan of the extreme heat, then vacationing to the North Myrtle Beach area during the fall is perfect for you. You will find that the average high for October is around 78° with a low of 56°. The average highs for November are roughly 67° and lows of 47°. The sun usually will be warm enough for you to enjoy the sand still, but the ocean maybe a little too chilly to go swimming. Let the kids play and build sandcastles while you soak up a little sun while reading that book you’ve wanted to. We promise that the fall months will soon become your favorite time of the year to vacation on the Grand Strand.

Golf

Another excellent reason for taking your vacation this fall to North Myrtle Beach is because of the golf. Golfing when you’re in North Myrtle Beach can be one of the highlights of your trip. You will find that golf courses don’t close down during the fall and winter months because of the great weather. Bring your golf clubs down with you and play a round or two golf with the family on your next vacation.

Shorter Wait Times

Have you ever been to North Myrtle Beach during the summer months? If you have, you know that it means you may have to wait longer for a table at that restaurant or some of the attractions. Vacationing this fall will allow you not to have to wait for a table at your favorite restaurant or waiting a long time to get into Wonderworks or a dinner show. No matter what you’re trying to do as a family, waiting will not be one of them.
