Do you remember the fable, “The Princess and the Pea”?  To refresh your memory, our heroine spent an uncomfortable night tossing and turning because, to make a long story short, she didn’t have the proper accommodations.  Whenever I venture into previously unexplored vacation territory, I’m always afraid that I’m going to wind up like that princess, ruining not just a single night, but my entire, much-needed getaway.  Planning my first trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, my fears vanished when I found http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com.

This comprehensive, easy to navigate website spelled everything out very clearly, providing me with a virtual roadmap of the attractions and accommodations of Myrtle Beach, including golf, for which the area is well known.  The look and layout of www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com almost made me feel as if I were already at the shore.  Paging through the site, I found accommodations designed for every preference, ranging from hotels to luxury resorts to vacations rentals, including the newly constructed Seaside, which boasts one, two, and three bedroom condos.  A click of the mouse beneath each photograph brought me to a page with details about the accommodations, including availability, pricing, accouterments, and a means of booking online.

As I was determined to try my hand at golf, I appreciated the fact that golf packages were available.  Booking golf packages Myrtle Beach in advance, via the website, will give me more time to enjoy myself on the links — or in my case, maybe the sand traps!  The site is also rich with easily-digestible information concerning the beautiful Myrtle Beach area: amusement parks, a State park, museums for young and old, and for shopaholics, the lowdown on options spanning mega-malls to unique little boutiques.  If you’re considering getting away from it all at Myrtle Beach, I would highly recommend that you check out www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com to make your life easier and your vacation enjoyable! 

I have waded, on two separate trips, into the warm, pale turquoise waters of Aruba. I’ve left my footprints in the sand of pristine beaches in the Aegean Sea, including the one on Mykonos that the tour guides neglected to mention was a topless beach!   Nowadays, I prefer to stay closer to home when I visit the shore.  I love Cape May with its crayon-colored gingerbread Victorians and nearby vineyards, but many trips to this lovely seaside Jersey town have made it a bit “same old, same old.”  This year, I decided to follow a friend’s suggestion and plan a trip to a new locale: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, renowned for its beautiful beaches and abundant golf courses.

When I go to the shore, I want two things: comfort and luxury.  While these elements may seem contradictory, they’re actually not, if you know where to look. In my search for an excellent Myrtle Beach hotel, I found an interesting option:  The Horizon at 77^th.  Built in 2008, the hotel/resort boasts onsite parking, one, two, and three-bedroom suites, indoor and outdoor pools for midnight swims, a lazy river, and even an elevated recreation plaza.

All rooms have comfortable, upscale furnishings.  Most, via spacious balconies, provide relaxing vistas of the ocean and the coastline.  When I don’t feel like getting gussied up for dinner after a day in the sun, I can toss up a salad or grill a steak in a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.  I can take a glass of wine onto the balcony, watch the sun sink into the horizon, and unwind to the call of the gulls and the murmuring of the sea.  If I’m feeling more sociable, the area’s many restaurants will welcome me, as will its diverse emporiums, theaters, parks, museums, and 80 — yes, 80! — golf courses easily accessible from The Horizon at 77^th.

Through their website, http://www.horizonmyrtlebeach.com, you can check room availabilities and rates as well as book accommodations that best suit your vacation needs.  If you decide upon The Horizon at 77^th, I’m confident that you’ll agree that this is one of the Myrtle Beach best hotels!
