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.

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!

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.

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.
