MYRTLE BEACH

SAVE MONEY AT MYRTLE BEACH

1. RENT A VACATION RENTAL INSTEAD OF A MYRTLE
BEACH HOTEL ROOM. Myrtle Beach vacation rental prices
run slightly higher than hotel rooms, but over a week’s stay
you’ll save big on meal expenses. A family of four can easily
save $25 or more by eating breakfast at the condo and even
more at lunch.

2. BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE CONDO
COST. Three and four bedroom town homes can be rented
for approximately the same cost as a nice one-bedroom
condo. Bring along friends or another family to split the
accommodation cost.

3.  VISIT MYRTLE BEACH BEFORE MEMORIAL WEEKEND
OR AFTER THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST. May and October
are the absolute best times to visit Myrtle Beach. During
these months the weather is perfect and crowds are
nonexistent. After May, Myrtle Beach hotel prices go up and
the beaches are crowded.

4. CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many Myrtle Beach
condo owners rent by owner, meaning you’ll save an
average of 25%. This is the normal percentage charged by
rental management companies to “rent” individual condos.
Plus, many management companies are now tacking on
additional cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The downside
to renting by owner is that most do not accept credit cards
and may not be able to respond quickly to maintenance
issues. There are several reputable websites listing Myrtle
Beach condos for rent by owner, including www.vrbo.com
and www.greatrentals.com.

5. BRING ALONG BEACH CHAIRS AND AN INEXPENSIVE
UMBRELLA. Umbrella and chairs rentals run $75 and up
per week. The sun is intense and most families need an
umbrella for protection against the sun. Note: Take the
umbrella down every night or you might lose it to the tide or
high winds. The same goes for outdoor tent structures
unless they’re staked down securely.

6. DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Several of
Myrtle Beach's restaurants offer two-for-one specials
between this time period. Check the local paper and the free
newspapers for special offers and coupons.

7.  CHECK OUT PRICELINE IF YOU NEED A SHORT-TERM
MYRTLE BEACH HOTEL ROOM- Several Myrtle Beach
hotels are listed on Priceline, including the Radisson, Hilton
and Country Inn and Suites. But be very careful when
bidding on Priceline or you might end up in an undesirable
area. Check out informational websites like www.
betterbidding.com for information on how to bid.

8. FILL UP WITH GAS BEFORE YOU GET TO MYRTLE
BEACH-Tourist destinations historically have some of the
highest gas prices in the nation. Fill up before you get there.

9. SHOP FOR BEACH ITEMS AT THE MYRTLE BEACH
WALMART SUPERCENTER. From suntan lotion to beach
dresses, the Myrtle Beach Walmart Supercenter offers the
best prices in town. The Walmart also includes a full-size
grocery store.

10. EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most
restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of their
dinners. Also be aware the wait to get into restaurants at
night during the busy season can be quite long.
