Are you and your family looking to escape to the North Myrtle Beach area this fall? If the answer is yes, then allow us to tell you about why vacationing on the Grand Strand the best in the fall is. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will keep you and your family close to the action. Let’s look below at why the beach during the fall months is the best.

Weather

Sand, beach, family, boy, girl, man, woman, sandcastles, sand toys, water, ocean, blue sky

One of the best things about vacationing to North Myrtle Beach during the fall is the weather. While September may be a little toasty for many, in October and November, the temperature turns cooler. You may not be able to swim in the ocean in November. You can still enjoy the sun and sand on the beach. There may be a few times that you’ll experience a little rain and storms, but you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation rental.

Fewer Crowds

Another reason for vacationing in the area is that there are typically fewer crowds. This is a big thing for families with young kids as they won’t feel as overwhelmed. You’ll be able to go to a restaurant and not have a long wait compared to the summer months. Some of the stores may not all be open as they are in the summer, but you’ll feel like you’re a local. This can be a big thing for many families during the “off-season” as they love to vacation this way every year.

Enjoy your Vacation Rental

One of the best reasons for staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals is getting to enjoy it. With the many different options that you have to choose from, the fall months are some of the best times to visit. Bring a few of your families games with you and play them in the rental. Plan a movie night and pop up a few bags of popcorn to snack on during the movie. There are so many ways that you can enjoy your vacation rental this fall together as a family!

While there are many other reasons why you should book your fall vacation today, these are the few we wanted to share with you. If you’re ready to experience North Myrtle Beach this fall, give us a call today. We hope to see you and your family as you get to enjoy the Grand Strand this fall!

3 Best Nightlife Options in Myrtle Beach in 2022

Do you like to do fun things when you go on vacation at night, but you’re unsure where it lies in Myrtle Beach? Have no fear as we can tell you where to head this summer on the Grand Strand for some nightlife action. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will allow you and your family to explore the area a little more. Let’s look below at where you can head this summer for our picks of the three best nightlife options in the area.

Broadway at the Beach

Broadway at the Beach has become quite the nightlife scene for many who visit Myrtle Beach any time of the year. Whether you are a family vacationing together looking for some family-friendly entertainment to the adults going out and having fun, there is something for everyone. You’ll find that they have the Great American Summer Nights, Balloon Art, Fireworks, and more for the family during the summer months. And for adults, you’ll find some live music at Bar Louie, Karaoke, and more to enjoy. Think of the new memories you’ll make by experiencing the nightlife at Broadway at the Beach in 2022.

Barefoot Landing

Barefoot Landing is another excellent location to find some family fun nightlife. During the summer months, you’ll be able to see things for the whole family, including their SummerFest, Fireworks, live music from different artists, and more. Not only is their nightlife there, but you’ll also be able to do a little shopping while you’re there. Don’t forget that there is always LuLu’s Beach Arcade & Ropes Course, Alligator Adventure, and more for the kids!

Shows Galore

If you’re more into sitting down for a nice dinner and some entertainment, we suggest doing a show in the area. Pirates Voyage is a great place to start for the family if you want to become a pirate. Medieval Times is another dinner show that we suggest, and you can even cheer on your favorite knight. Both have amazing dinners and can cater to your dietary needs. We promise you that both shows are something you won’t want to miss on your next trip to the area.

There are many other fun options, such as bars, restaurants, and more, but we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next vacation to North Myrtle Beach, give us a call today. We can’t wait to hear what you did in the area on your next family vacation!

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.

3 Fun Things to Do in North Myrtle Beach

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!

Spend 4th of July in North Myrtle Beach this Year

Are you and your family looking to get out of the house and go on vacation? If you are, then come to North Myrtle Beach this year. The 4^th of July will be a little different for many around the country, but there is still plenty to do in the area. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will keep you close to the fun. Let’s look below at what your family can do while on vacation this 4^th of July.

Fireworks

Many of the fireworks around the area have been canceled or rescheduled this year. There will be fireworks happening in Downtown Conway, which is about a 35-minute drive from North Myrtle Beach. This fireworks show will be starting at 9:30 pm so be sure to get there a little early before the fun.

Beach It

Since you will be at the beach on vacation, why not take advantage of the surf & sand. North Myrtle Beach has some of the best beaches on the Grand Strand. If you happen to stay in one of our Oceanfront vacation rentals, then you will be able to walk onto the beach right from your home. Staying in a vacation rental that is not on the beach, there will be plenty of public beach access’ that your family can go to. Just enjoy the time you have together while you are relaxing together, enjoying the sun, sand, and surf.

Treat the Family

While on vacation in Myrtle Beach, head on over to a new place where you and the family can enjoy a cold treat. The Crazy Mason is one of the area’s latest craze, and we can’t blame them either. Treat the family to some out of this world milkshakes in a mason jar. The Crazy Mason is located in the Market Commons area inside the 810 Billiards & Bowling. The family will fall in love with visiting this local family-owned business on your 4^th of July vacation!

There are many other fun things that you and your family can do while you are on vacation this 4^th of July, but we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your vacation to stay in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals, now is the time. We look forward to seeing you and your family this 4^th of July as you relax!
