Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will allow the whole family to join in the excitement. Let’s look below at just a few reasons why you should spend Thanksgiving this year in North Myrtle Beach.

Perfect for the Whole Family

One of the best things about staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals is we have something forever family. No matter your family’s size, we have vacation rentals that will accommodate your whole group, from homes that will sleep 8 to homes that sleep up to 20 people. All of our vacation rentals do provide a full kitchen so that you can cook Thanksgiving Day dinner like you would at home. You will feel like you’re at home in our vacation rentals, but you’ll be at the beach instead.

Eat Out

We understand that you will be on vacation and may not feel like cooking Thanksgiving Day dinner this year. Instead of worrying about cleaning the kitchen after you’ve slaved all day making dinner, why not enjoy someone else cooking. Many restaurants in the North Myrtle Beach area will be open on Thanksgiving Day for you to want. Some of them are House of Blues, Chestnut Hill, Captain George’s Seafood Buffet and Margaritaville. For many of them, you may have to make a reservation but be sure to check out each one to see if you need to call before you arrive.

Shopping

Another great reason to come to North Myrtle Beach this Thanksgiving Day is Black Friday! This is the best time to go to the beach and be able to find some great deals. Who doesn’t love going to the store to get a gift or two at a reasonable price? We know that some of the stores will not be open on Thanksgiving Day, but that only gives you more time to spend with your family. Head on over to Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach or Tanger Outlets in Myrtle Beach for some shopping on Black Friday for some great deals!

While there are many other reasons why you need to vacation in North Myrtle Beach this Thanksgiving Day, we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next vacation to stay with us in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals, now is the time.

One of the best things about vacationing to North Myrtle Beach during the fall is the weather. While September may be a little toasty for many, in October and November, the temperature turns cooler. You may not be able to swim in the ocean in November. You can still enjoy the sun and sand on the beach. There may be a few times that you’ll experience a little rain and storms, but you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation rental.

Fewer Crowds

Another reason for vacationing in the area is that there are typically fewer crowds. This is a big thing for families with young kids as they won’t feel as overwhelmed. You’ll be able to go to a restaurant and not have a long wait compared to the summer months. Some of the stores may not all be open as they are in the summer, but you’ll feel like you’re a local. This can be a big thing for many families during the “off-season” as they love to vacation this way every year.

Enjoy your Vacation Rental

One of the best reasons for staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals is getting to enjoy it. With the many different options that you have to choose from, the fall months are some of the best times to visit. Bring a few of your families games with you and play them in the rental. Plan a movie night and pop up a few bags of popcorn to snack on during the movie. There are so many ways that you can enjoy your vacation rental this fall together as a family!

If you’ve never been to Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, you are missing out on so much. It’s one of the top attractions for the area for many visitors, and we have to agree with them.

Why Should You #BookDirect with Seaside Vacations?

Travel planning on computer

Are you and your family planning a vacation to North Myrtle Beach this year? We need to tell you why you should #bookdirect with us if you are. Many online third-party vacation rental sites can add a 5%-20% additional fee to your reservation. We know that your vacations are significant and may limit how much you can spend each year. Seaside Vacations wants to make sure that you get the most out of your money when visiting the North Myrtle Beach area. The only way that you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation without getting hit with that unexpected fee is by booking direct today!

What You Need to Know About Booking Direct

On February 2nd, 2022, we celebrate the 5th Annual Book Direct Day, which was created to help educate vacation rental guests on the benefits of booking directly through an owner or Property Management Company vs. using a Third-Party agency such as Airbnb, HomeAway, VBRO & TripAdvisor.

While you may recognize these big-name companies and their gimmicks in helping you save money, you will soon learn that they will charge you a fee for using their website. Who wants to pay extra just to try and save a little money? Some of the expenses that you may incur when you book with an OTA can range from 5%-20% of the total cost of your vacation rental, which in turn can cost you thousands of dollars extra depending on which rental you choose.

One thing that has become very popular over the past few years is ropes courses. These are good for the younger ones in the family and the older teens. There are several places along the Grand Strand where your family can head to check out the courses. If you’re looking to stay near your vacation rental in North Myrtle Beach, then head over to LuLu’s Beach Arcade at Barefoot Landing. This is a good place for the whole family to enjoy a little time together. While the next two aren’t in North Myrtle Beach, we still wanted to share them with you, Myrtle Beach Zipline Adventures and Radical Ropes Adventure Park.

 Break Out Fun

Another fun thing that the whole family can get into is trying their hand at Break Out Myrtle Beach Escape Room. This has become a trendy thing to do around the country, and it’s a great thing to do on a rainy day. Decide on a day to do the escape room and work together as a team to find your way out. There are many times that you must try and do along with a few rooms but working together is the way to go. From tweens to teens, the older kids will love this adventure, and it is something that they can do with their friends. Think of the memories you’ll make on this fun outing together on your next vacation.
