Smaller Oceanfront Hotels?

Older couple planning a visit to Myrtle Beach for the last week in May. Our first visit because adult son moved there last year. Looking for a smaller oceanfront hotel not one of the big all-inclusive resorts. Price not as important as privacy, cleanliness and just feeling comfortable. Any suggestions?

Smaller Oceanfront Hotels?

Look at the Seaside Resort in North Myrtle Beach.

We stayed for any years there when it was a mom and pop place and they%26#39;ve recently re-built but it%26#39;s still small.

We%26#39;ll be there May 3-9.

Cheers,

The Gazebo Inn. We stay here regularly and enjoy it. It is a small oceanfront hotel, family owned, with just a pool and hot tub. Private oceanfront balconies and efficiencies, at a very good price. It gets mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, but we have always found it to be clean and comfortable, if basic accomodations are what you are looking for. I hear it went through interior renovations this winter, but have not visited the Gazebo since last September, then some units had new curtains and bed attire, and all units were getting new mattreses. I am curious myself to see what was done this winter. You can check rates and such at

I think you would like the Blockade Runner in North Myrtle Beach. It%26#39;s one of the oldie but goodie hotels that hasn%26#39;t been replaced by a new highrise and the staff remembers you from previous visits. It%26#39;s on a nice peaceful section of beach between Cherry Grove and Ocean Drive. It has an oceanfront restaurant where you can eat breakfast...just an overall nice, clean, enjoyable place to relax and enjoy. I might add that my parents stay here every year during Memorial weekend...they can afford to stay anywhere they want but they chose to stay here because they love it.

Try Forest Dunes. Great location and views from 6th floor on up.

Look into the oceanfront building at the Best Western Grand Strand Inn - its a 4 story building. We stayed there and really enjoyed it because it was smaller and right on the ocean. They were building an indoor pool the last time we were there, it was going to open the following week. The rooms were really nice and clean. But make sure to specify the oceanfront building - there is an older part across the street from the beach, that didn%26#39;t look as clean when we were there.

If you want privacy %26amp; comfort you might check vrbo.com for a condo. Prices are usually lower than a hotel.
