Myrtle Beach is our 2nd favorite place to vacation. We always stay at Myrtle Beach Resort - just south of the main strip. Check on VRBO.com (vacation rentals by owners) for great rates. We always rent a 2 bedroom condo at the resort, oceanview for about $1000 a week. The resort has multiple pools, game room, playgrounds, a poolside snack shop & a bar area, etc, plus there are lifeguards on the beach. Good luck.
