Family Overview: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

By Candyce H. Stapen

  • We are trying to plan a family vacation and were looking at Myrtle Beach. I know that there is plenty to do there for any age group, but we were having trouble finding a place to stay. We would like to stay in condos/houses/villas if possible. There could be up to 50 people coming and staying in different houses, but we would like to all be close to each other. Please let me know if you there are any rental properties that would fit our needs. We were trying to stay in North Myrtle Beach, but either is fine.
