3 Reasons Why You Need to Take a Vacation to North Myrtle Beach This Fall

3 Ways to Decorate Your Front Porch This Fall

Can you believe that summer has come and gone, and it’s fall already here on the Grand Strand? We can’t either, and we thought that now is the time to escape to North Myrtle Beach this fall. Staying in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will allow you and your family to stay close to the fun. Let’s look below at three reasons why you need to take a vacation to North Myrtle Beach this fall.

Beautiful Weather

If you’re not a fan of the extreme heat, then vacationing to the North Myrtle Beach area during the fall is perfect for you. You will find that the average high for October is around 78° with a low of 56°. The average highs for November are roughly 67° and lows of 47°. The sun usually will be warm enough for you to enjoy the sand still, but the ocean maybe a little too chilly to go swimming. Let the kids play and build sandcastles while you soak up a little sun while reading that book you’ve wanted to. We promise that the fall months will soon become your favorite time of the year to vacation on the Grand Strand.

Golf

Another excellent reason for taking your vacation this fall to North Myrtle Beach is because of the golf. Golfing when you’re in North Myrtle Beach can be one of the highlights of your trip. You will find that golf courses don’t close down during the fall and winter months because of the great weather. Bring your golf clubs down with you and play a round or two golf with the family on your next vacation.

Shorter Wait Times

Have you ever been to North Myrtle Beach during the summer months? If you have, you know that it means you may have to wait longer for a table at that restaurant or some of the attractions. Vacationing this fall will allow you not to have to wait for a table at your favorite restaurant or waiting a long time to get into Wonderworks or a dinner show. No matter what you’re trying to do as a family, waiting will not be one of them.

While there are many other reasons you should vacation in North Myrtle Beach this fall, we wanted to share these. If you haven’t booked your fall vacation to stay with us in one of our North Myrtle Beach vacation rentals, call us today. We can’t wait to see you and your family as you enjoy fall with us too!

#BookDirect with Seaside Vacations

Are you and the family wanting to vacation to North Myrtle Beach this year? If the answer is yes, then we need to tell you about the benefits of booking direct with us. On February 5, 2020 is Book Direct Day and that means that when you book your vacation with Seaside Vacations, you can save some money too! Let’s take a peek at why you should book direct with us below.

Why Book Direct?

Have you ever booked a vacation using a third-party vendor such as VBRO, Airbnb or something like that? Did you know that you are actually paying more for your vacation rental compared to booking direct? The reason that you are paying more for your vacation rental is because of the extra fees that are added to the vacation rental by just using their website. Many of the online booking websites add between 5% & 20% to the total price of the vacation rental. Instead you could be #bookingdirect with us and saving money instead. When you book direct with us, not only are you saving money, but you’re also getting the expertise and local knowledge too.

Local Recommendations

Whenever you book a vacation through a third-party website, you won’t be able to ask them questions about where to eat or anything else dealing with what is happening in the area. If a problem should arise at the vacation rental, they won’t be able to take care of it for you. When you book direct with Seaside Vacations, you are able to talk to someone who can recommend the best family-friendly places to eat at or where to shop. If something happens at your vacation rental, we will make sure a maintenance worker is sent to fix the problem. We too want to make sure that you and your family enjoy your vacation to the North Myrtle Beach area.

There are many other reasons as of why you should #BookDirect with Seaside Vacations but we wanted to share these few with you. If you haven’t booked your next vacation to North Myrtle Beach, now is the time. We would love to help you save money and be able to enjoy your next vacation with the family!
