Kingston Plantation Condos
9800 Queensway Boulevard

This mid-range resort in North Myrtle Beach is partially owned and rented by private parties and partially by the Embassy Suites chain. Decor varies according to the tastes of the individual owners, though views from the units controlled by Embassy Suites are better, as those are on higher floors. It's one of the nicer mid-range options in Myrtle Beach, and draws many conference guests with its 70,000 square feet of meeting space. It's a massive, sprawling property with a free shuttle to get around and lots of features, including nine pools, a giant fitness center, several dining options, and an oceanfront location. Just note the villas can be a bit far from the beach, and guests will have to drive for any dining off property.

Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort
14276 Ocean Hwy, 2 mi north of Pawleys Island (Drawer 320

Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort is a sprawling 589-room, mid-range resort located on an uninterrupted stretch of sand on the Atlantic Ocean. The resort is secluded from the tourist traffic and crowds of Myrtle Beach, yet still within a 30-minute drive of the area’s attractions, and features four 18-hole golf courses. Rooms range from studios to whole houses with kitchens, but decor varies (some accommodations could use an update). Some buildings are within walking distance to the beach, while others are a half mile away and may require use of the hotel’s free beach shuttle.

Sands Ocean Club Resort
9550 Shore Dr

It's not fancy, but this budget resort does have a variety of features -- including a spa, a kids' club, and the popular, party-friendly Ocean Annie's Beach Bar -- plus free admission to a few area attractions thrown in. Rooms have kitchenettes and private balconies. Just know that the rooms and public spaces could use updating, some guests complain of bugs and maintenance issues, and the North Myrtle Beach location is a 15-minute drive from the boardwalk.

Marriott's OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes
8550 Costa Verde Drive

The Marriott’s OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes is a 374-room, mid-range hotel located directly on the beach and within about 10 miles of most tourist attractions in Myrtle Beach. The hotel is part of the Marriott Vacation Club, so some units (all are two-bedrooms) are reserved for time-share owners, and it can be difficult to book during the high season. The property offers a ton of family-friendly activities and it has a total of five pools, one of which has a water slide. Just note that not all of the pools are heated during the chillier months (though the hotel will let guests know which ones are).

Best Western Ocean Sands Beach Resort
1525 South Ocean Boulevard

This dated beachfront Best Western is an affordable option in North Myrtle Beach. The hotel has 116 rooms in separate buildings, so accessing common amenities such as the free breakfast and free parking can mean dealing with crowds. An ocean vacation is what it’s about with direct beach access, an outdoor pool, and a lazy river. Some rooms are oceanfront and offer amazing views. Still, it may be worth comparing rates with the Beach Cove Resort, where there is a lively beach bar and all rooms face the ocean.

Ocean Park Resort, Oceana Resorts
1905 S Ocean Blvd

The Ocean Park Resort is a 125-room, 12-story property located on a stretch of sand lined by similar-looking high-rises. Though the beachfront location is a highlight, Ocean Park falls into the value hotel category and is not what you would expect from a property that calls itself a resort. It does have two pools (inside and outside), but there are no on-site restaurants and the rooms are a bit plain (though they're nicer than those at some competing hotels).

Anderson Ocean Club and Spa, Oceana Resorts
2600 N Ocean Blvd

This upper-middle-range property has a convenient location on the waterfront, with direct access to a great beach, and proximity to shopping, several golf courses, and downtown Myrtle Beach. The clean rooms are among the nicest in this price category in Myrtle Beach, though the decor style is a bit dated. The property also offers several pools and an adequate fitness center. It is very convenient for families traveling with kids: it has a lazy river, an 18-hole mini-golf course, a kid’s program, and full kitchens in every unit.

Island Links Resort
1 Coggins Point Rd

With two pools, water features, and lots of kids' activities, this mid-range timeshare property is heavily geared toward families. Golf lovers are also drawn to the Island Links Resort, given its close proximity to local courses. The spacious two- and three-bedroom villas are a highlight, though the decor is a bit plain and some rooms only offer tube TVs. The one major drawback is the property's distance from the beach, which is over a mile away and is best reached by car or bicycle. The resort does offer shuttle service to the beach during warmer months.

Hotel Blue
705 S Ocean Blvd

Hotel Blue's beachfront location, large pool with swim-up bar, and regular pool parties make it a solid value for sun seekers who want to have a good time. It also offers a sleek contemporary design in its public places and a lobby bar, which makes it stand out from other hotels in the area. The rooms, however, are well worn out and are in need of a renovation.

Gazebo Inn Ocean Front
1607 S Ocean Blvd

Sandwiched between towering condos, this small, family-owned budget hotel on the south end of Myrtle Beach offers modest rooms with a prime beach location. It's a nice haven for families, and for low-key couples looking to hang out around a pool and play in the surf. The rooms are dated and basic, but there are only 55 of them, so the beach is less crowded than those at neighboring properties.
