I know I'll have to pick dates carefully in the summer to avoid peak pricing at 40k.
I've found 4 reasonable candidates so far, but I don't have information to compare the four. Does anyone have any insight/opinions on these properties or their surroundings:
- Courtyard Carolina Beach Oceanfront- Residence Inn Myrtle Beach Oceanfront- Marriott Hilton Head Resort & Spa- Westin Jekyll Island
This is just based off my personal experiences. Never been to the Courtyard Carolina Beach. If you have to stay in Myrtle Beach the regular Marriott is the best option. Same thing with Hilton Head. The Westin is so much better than the Marriott. I loved the Westin Jekyll Island. It is very family friendly. The pool was great. Not a lot of activities to do on the island though. limited places to eat as well. But very secluded from everything and good place to ride bikes around and explore.
They also have a brand new Towneplace suites in the outerbanks off NC.
Check out the Charleston Marriott and the Courtyard Charleston Waterfront. Both 35k.
Let me know if you have any questions.
