Hey Marty,

Enjoy your trip. I've got a group of 8 golfers coming down to Ocean Blvd 2/25-28. Never stayed there before and was wondering if you could tell me where the two indoor pools and indoor jacuzzi are located. Thanks.

February 2-9


Myrtle Beach is very nice this time of year

It has been a very busy first week here in Myrtle Beach
We have rode from the North Carolina / South Carolina
Line to Surfside Beach via Business 17 and Highway 17

We went shopping at Sears in the new Coastal Mall

Checked out the new Hard Rock Park on 501
Not Open Yet. (They have a long way to go)

Went to an Antique Mall out on Hwy 501

Cruised approx 20 miles along Highway 31
It is a North/South alternative to Hwy 17
that by-passes most of Myrtle Beach

Visited Old Friends from Maryland
that moved here a few years ago

On Sat. we have to re-check in for our second week
& have plans to go to the Myrtle Beach Stamp Show.

Marty, Too bad you did not drive into N C. There is an fishing village called Calabash. I thing you would have enjoyed it. Did you stop at Martin's megga golf shop. ? You could have picked up clubs for JBL. Did you walk around Barefoot Landing or Broadway at the Beach.? Y'ALL COME BACK

Tower 4 - Outdoor Pool - Closed

Bill took a photo from a higher floor down
into the tower 4 (oldest) outdoor pool area

Do not know what the problem was/is
but it looks like a major re-constuction

He did not check out the old indoor pool

Hi Marty,
You mentioned the Hard Rock Amusement Park, have you seen anything that says when it is scheduled to open? I recently read it was on schedule for this spring, but you seem to suggest otherwise.

There is a chance we may use our Marriott MOW this July 4th, if my daughter decides to miss her dance tournment. Not likely, which is fine, but I'd like to know so I can promote it with my rental ad, if I knew for sure it was going to be open by Independence Day.

Regards.
Joe

 

[Bucky]

Thanks for the info Marty. We love MB. We'll be down again over Labor Day and staying at MOW. If you'd like a great fish house, go to Murrells Inlet and try Divine's. Sets right next to the steak house called Bovine's. Both are really good restaurants. Have you checked out the new Market Common yet? Have a great stay.

North Myrtle Beach to Surfside Beach


RE:
Bucky
Have you checked out the new Market Common yet?


We traveled East from Hightway 17 to Business 17
thru the old airport area that
will be the new Market Common
It reminds me of the New Town in Williamsburg VA.

Lots of new housing and shopping malls

Wi Fi

Many resorts now charge a weekly fee for high speed internet.

$4.00 a day is not bad....Of course come resorts have it in the units at no charge.

We love Myrtle Beach.

 

[pcgirl54]

We spent New Years in MB and both Hard Rock and Market Common were supposed to open this April.


Market Common is just like the new Coconut Mall in Bonita Beach Fl and a few other areas we have visited. Should be pretty nice. Upscale walking around downtown feel with a blend of shops,eateries and condos above the retailers plus a movieplex.

If you are in the Murrell's Inlet area we ate at the original Dead Dog Saloon. right on the water, nice view,casual flair. You can walk out on the dock. There is a nice store to browse nearby The Lazy Gator.http://www.lazygatorgifts.com I would not make a special trip to go here unless you are headed yhis way but if you are in the area it's worth a stop. http://www.deaddogsaloon.com

We did not get to Pawley's Island or Huntington Park.,, south of MB. I also wanted to drive further north of MB and see Wilmington NC but for a three day trip there was not enough time this trip.

Westgate Myrtle Beach Resort

While out for a ride, we decided to stop in and look around
Westgates Myrtle Beach Resort. The exterior of the building
appears to be an old converted oceanfront motel. The old
restaurant inside now a Westgate Sales Presentation center.

Formerly The Holiday Inn Oceanfront Resort Myrtle Beach
Located across from The Family Kingdom Amusement Park

Any Tuggers own at this MB location

Ocean Watch is located on the beach near 82nd St. in
The Grande Dunes area of Myrtle Beach South Carolina

The lobby and lounge area is upscale and inviting
with a sitting area to meet & greet friends & family

The ocean front outdoor pool area is very beautiful
Marriott is building a new pool area with a lazy river
and a garden building a little further from the ocean

There is an activities center for Kids and a Gift Shop
Garage Parking - Ocean Watch T/S looks really nice

Shore Crest Vacation Villas ™ I & II


February 17, 2008

On Sunday afternoon we visited:

SHORE CREST VACATION VILLAS™ I & II
4709 South Ocean Boulevard
North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
843.361.3600

This Bluegreen Resort offers two timeshare buildings:
Shore Crest I on the ocean and Shore Crest II on the
marsh and just a short stroll to the beach and ocean.

We spent our time checking out the lobby, (free
Sunday Local Newspaper) & lounge (2 Computers)

Looked at the indoor pool and stood on a balcony
overlooking the ocean and SC I grounds - They
offer a Lazy River - Hot Tub - Ocean Front Pool.

We were able to preview a Two Bedroom Model

Nice size Kitchen - Dining Area and Living room with an
Ocean Front Balcony, a cute little table and two chairs
Master Bedroom with a plush mattress and garden tub
Guest Bedroom with 2 average twin beds 2nd bathroom
The model was clean and comfortable looking.

There was a real nice feel to the resort, but the
common areas could stand to be a little cleaner.

Just across the street, Shore Crest II overlooks the meandering coastal marshes that define South Carolina’s lowcountry beauty. With its deeper yellow and blue hues, these villas have a warm “Cape Cod” ambiance.

This timeshare in located near Barefoot Landing in the Windy Hills area.
