- Check the local online newspaper of the place you are visiting, and search for special money-saving coupons, discounts, and any special offers that you can find, and take advantage of. Elliott Beach Rental has a special coupons page for guests that book with us. We’ve gone to all the local businesses you will enjoy and put the coupons in one spot on our website. Coupon Page

- Look for things to do that don’t cost anything or are free! The local Chamber of Commerce has a calendar of events with free concerts & festivals. Visit the splendor of Huntington Beach State Park where you can enjoy nature trails, picnic areas as well as the historic castle Atalaya for an admission of only $5 for adults and $3 for children up to 16.

I found an old license plate when we moved into our house that my husband’s grandfather once owned. Being from another state I couldn’t figure out what they meant. I would go to Cherry Grove Inlet and at high tide you couldn’t even walk on the beach. The high tide reached the dunes and crashed violently into the rocks. Well, last summer North Myrtle Beach underwent a huge beach re nourishment project. Three million cubic yards of sand was placed along the coast—that’s enough sand to be placed on an area the size of a football field that would reach as high as the Empire State Building.
This year when you vacation here in North Myrtle Beach you will get to enjoy the wide sandy beaches again! The sand is again white & soft between your toes no matter what time of day or tide it happens to be. We may not have the world’s widest beach but it looks pretty good out there today and our beaches are ready for the millions of tourists that visit us every season. Call to book your vacation in North Myrtle Beach today!

It’s summer vacation time! More and more families are traveling with their pets and finding it to be very enjoyable for both the pet and the family. If you are loading up your pet for a road trip, plan on making several stops along the way and have water available for breaks. Whether your are traveling with your pet by air, car or other means of transportation, always make sure to have their vaccination papers on hand in case something happens and you need to prove that your pet’s vaccinations are current. It is also wise to carry an extra collar, leash and identification tag with you in case the ones they are wearing and using become lost.
