Save Money on Your Myrtle Beach Vacation

Go with a vacation rental instead of a hotel—vacation rentals are budget friendly and a much better choice than a hotel room, especially since your rental home/condo comes with a full kitchen which can save you from buying all your meals in a restaurant.

Book a Vacation Package—Elliott Beach Rentals now offers fabulous and affordable entertainment and attraction packages including everything from holiday shows and golf packages to family fun packages designed with the kids in mind.

Myrtle Beach Vacation Rental vs. Hotel

Summer is almost here and when you’re planning that perfect Myrtle Beach vacation sometimes it’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to find the best options for your family vacation to the Myrtle Beach area.

Many travelers to the Grand Strand settle for a Myrtle Beach hotel and don’t realize that they can get a lot more bang for their buck with a vacation rental from Elliott Beach Rentals.

Our Top Reasons to Choose a Vacation Rental
over a Myrtle Beach Hotel:

Reason #1: Value!

There is no comparison between a vacation rental and Myrtle Beach hotel or resort in terms of price. Vacation Rentals often offer more space for less money, more freedom, more flexibility, more amenities, and much more privacy for your money.

Reason #2: Stretch Out and Relax!

If you are vacationing with your family or a group, staying in a hotel often means sharing a room, which can feel, crowded.   Also, you may end up needing to rent multiple rooms, which can be a problem if you’re located in different parts of the hotel during your stay not to mention booking more than one room is more costly.

Reason #3: Enjoy Cooking Your Own Meals!

Do you enjoy eating out while vacationing but wish you could cook some of your own meals? In hotel rooms, there usually is no cooking option or only a small kitchenette that always seems to be missing the pots or pans you need most.  All of our homes and condos are fully equipped with the utensils, pots, and pans to make you’re cooking a breeze.

Reason #4: Enjoy Some Peace and Quiet On Your Vacation!

Are there times that you would rather just stay behind and relax while the rest of the family is out taking advantage of all the wonderful things to do in the area?  In a hotel, staying in your room might not be very appealing.  In a private home or condo it feels more like home and you’ll have all the room you need to hang out and rest while the rest of the family goes out.

Reason #5: Bring Your Dog!

Most Myrtle Beach hotels or motels won’t allow pets but Elliott Beach Rentals has pet friendly vacation rentals available so Fido can take a much needed vacation along with the family.

Keeping Fit on Your Myrtle Beach Vacation

Sometimes it’s hard to stay on track and keep up with fitness goals while on vacation. Many of our vacation rental condos offer exercise facilities onsite and we’ve also put together a list of activities to keep you active and help you maintain your fitness routine while you’re here.

Walking on the beach- A brisk walk on the beach is not only energizing but also a great way to burn off some of the calories from all the great food offered at Myrtle Beach restaurants.
Swimming—A few laps in a pool or even a nice swim in the ocean are a perfect way to stay in shape. Many of our vacation rental homes have private pools or stay at a condo that offers indoor and outdoor pools.
Golf—There’s no shortage of places to play golf in Myrtle Beach, we’re famous worldwide for all the great courses in the area. Golf is a great way to get some exercise in while having fun. Visit www.myrtle-beachgolf.com to book tee times or get help with planning your next golf trip to Myrtle Beach.

Myrtle Beach in January

The winter months in Myrtle Beach still offers tourists a plethora of activities and for a lot of visitors it’s one of the best times to visit the Grand Strand.  Most of the attractions will be open, but the hours may be shorter than during peak season so if there’s something in particular your’e wanting to do call ahead to verify what hours they are open.  The crowds are much lower in January, as are the temperatures.  Keep a jacket or windbreaker handy, especially for walking on the beach. Even though the temps are cooler it’s usually almost always sunny with clear skies and you’ll find that people are still able to enjoy outdoor activities.  If a weather front comes through, you may have a rainy day, but in January that’s not so likely.  With average air temps of 56 degrees during the month of January there are still plenty of opportunities for fishing, golfing, shopping or just shell hunting on the beach.
