This Is One Of The Best Places To Stay Right By Myrtle Beach Without Breaking The Bank

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offers visitors a classic American beach vacation. There's an amusement park, arcades, and a boardwalk. Of course, fun coastal activities like jet skiing and more are also essential to the Myrtle Beach experience. However, there's perhaps another reason why more than 19 million people (via Visit Myrtle Beach) visit the city each year. While beach vacations can be pricy, Myrtle Beach is the best-budget-friendly beach on the South Carolina Coast.

And if you want to get more bang for your buck, stay at Carolinian Beach Resort. The hotel is situated directly on the beach, providing expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and access to the beach. Likewise, Carolinian Beach Resort has a pool, lazy river, hot tub, and a kiddie pool. Seasonal onsite activities (free and paid), like games and crafts, are also offered to guests.

The rooms at Carolinian Beach Resort vary in size and can sleep anywhere from two to 12 people. Thus, it's ideal for couples or small and large families.

Prices are higher in the spring, summer, and fall. Nevertheless, you can still find rooms for less than $100 a night. And if you do decide to stay at Carolinian Beach Resort, make sure to book directly on their website.
