Everyone with a toddler knows that vacationing with them can sometimes be a challenge and making concrete plans for what to do on your trip is almost impossible while you’re working around nap schedules, the inevitable tantrums, spills, messes and multiple clothing changes. To save your sanity the best course of action when traveling with young kids is to simply relax and play it by ear. Relaxed kids=relaxed Moms & Dads. A Myrtle Beach vacation rental home is the perfect option for families because it offers more room to spread out than a hotel and having your own kitchen is going to make lunch and snack time a snap. Not to mention a washer and dryer in the home will make it so much easier on Mom and Dad when it comes time to wash all those clothes instead of having to lug it all down to a laundry area in the hotel.
Elliott Beach Rentals has been helping families find the perfect Myrtle Beach vacation rental for over 50 Years. Call us today at 800-525-0225 or visit www.northmyrtlebeachtravel.com to find a vacation rental home or condo that your family will love.

You’re planning your trip to Myrtle Beach and you want to stay within budget without sacrificing any of the great Myrtle Beach attractions or other fun things to do in Myrtle Beach. Having a great vacation on a budget is not impossible. Here are some tips to put your 2012 vacation in reach:
*Vacation Rentals are the most economical way for a family to take a vacation. Most include a full kitchen for preparing meals which saves a significant portion of your vacation dollars for other activities. Along with fully stocked kitchens many also include a washer and dryer in the unit and a lot of families find that that with the extra room in a vacation rental they are often able to split the rental cost with other family members which also helps stretch the vacation budget even further.
*Discount Packages for attractions are a great way to save money on things you were planning to do anyway. Elliott Beach Rentals offers a great selection of dinner and show packages, golf packages, and even discount tickets to the brand new Pirates Voyage attraction. Visit our Entertainment and Packages page for more details or call a Vacation Specialists and speak to one of our friendly staff members who can help you determine which package is best for your family.
*Elliott Beach Rentals Price Match Guarantee takes the guesswork and stress out of booking your reservation. We will meet or beat any reasonable price on a comparable property. Speak to a Vacation Specialist for details.

In our never ending quest to keep you entertained and expand your mind we combed the internet for the best information we could find about Myrtle Beach. Actually we just went to The City of Myrtle Beach’s site and used the information that they worked hard to compile. Big thanks to the City of Myrtle Beach for these little nuggets of information about Myrtle Beach and be sure to check out their site for even more factoids about Myrtle Beach.
Did you know:
That we have several endangered or threatened animal species along the Grand Strand? Endangered bird species locally include the Ipswich sparrow, least tern and Wilson’s plover. The loggerhead turtle is considered a threatened species, while the eastern brown pelican and island glass lizard are listed as species of special concern. All of these animals nest or winter in our sand dunes and beach grasses, which is another reason why it’s illegal for anyone to disturb or damage either the dunes or sea grass.
That the northern portion of the new oceanfront boardwalk, from the 14th Avenue Pier to Plyler Park, is named “Gloria’s Way,” in honor of Gloria Lindsay Sapp, a longtime teacher, hotelier, volunteer, businesswoman and civic leader? Bronze plaques will be installed at either end of this boardwalk section to recognize Gloria Sapp, an ardent supporter of the boardwalk project, who died in 2010 at age 84.
That a time capsule to be opened December 18, 2054, is buried at Nance Plaza on the southwest corner of Kings Highway and Ninth Avenue North? A granite monument and brass book mark where the capsule was buried in 2004. Elementary school students throughout Horry County participated in the project, and their hopes and dreams are contained within the capsule.
That the runway at Myrtle Beach International Airport is 9,503 feet long? That’s nearly 1.8 miles of runway! MYR is the second-busiest airport in the state, passenger-wise, behind only Charleston. You can fly direct to 27 destinations from Myrtle Beach International Airport.
If you did know all of these then give yourself a big pat on the back and make sure to tell everyone you know that you rock at your knowledge of Myrtle Beach. We give you permission to be a little extra cocky today.
Don’t forget to check out our bargains and specials page for some great rates on your Myrtle Beach spring break vacation.
