Myrtle Beath in the South End

An April 2005 trip to Myrtle Beach by raderwayne

Quote: This was our first time using our timeshare at our resort and we were not dissappointed. The resort is in a quieter section and still close enough to the center of it all - the food, the fun, and the entertainment.

Best Things Nearby:The beach, the golfing, the mini golfing, the shopping, the food, and the entertainmentBest Things About the Resort:It is in the south end of Myrtle, where it is quieter. Resort Experience:The resort is across the street from the beach, but it does have its own beachfront access, with a pool, hot tub, and sundeck. The resort abuts a three-par golf course and is within walking distance of two mini-golf courses. The resort also offers shuttle service by van to many of the top shopping destinations and attractions. The resort has a workout room, hot tub heated, and indoor/outdoor pool, plus a large lazy river that you could float in all day. Th...Read More

Restaurant | "Pier 14"

This restaurant is located behind The Yachtsman Resort on Ocean Boulevard, Pier 14 is right over the ocean. You certainly can’t beat the view, and they even have live entertainment in the bar area.We have gone here each time we have been to the area. We were lucky to have found it and just love it. The food is done to perfection and the atmosphere is superb. My wife loves the filet mignon (about $18) and I have enjoyed their steak and shrimp special (about $19). Alongside of this we were able to have their delicious desserts, cheesecake ($4), and the key lime pie ($4); plus, they also have some pretty good drinks to wash it all down. The drinks were so good that the last time w...Read More

We decided to go after just coming out of the NASCAR Speed Park and thought that this would be the topper after riding in their cars all day. What we found was a fairly enjoyable time, where we were not rushed out and were able to look at the memorabilia that they have before you even walk in the front door, with three cars out on the curb. Plus, you can watch one of their big screen TVs, or one of the smaller TVs scattered around showing highlights and replays from a previous race, or some other sport, whichever may be on ESPN while you are there.The food was decent but we all just wanted sandwiches for a change of pace. We ordered the Daytona Chili Burger, the Thunder Road Burger, and th...Read More

Attraction | "NASCAR Speedpark"

Quote:
You can get the passes for all day or by the ticket. The best value is the all-day pass because the "good" tracks can cost up to six tickets and it will probably cost more by the ticket. We had five people go, and they ranged in ages, from 36 up to 59, and everybody had a good time. My mother-in-law had a great time and rode the cars and had fun just like a little kid. Plus, we were all able to drive "fast," because everybody knows how slow the traffic in Myrtle can be.There are different tracks of different shapes or ovals, and there are different types of go-carts as well. We rode all that we could because some are just for the kids, some for just taller people, and some for two people. Th...Read More

Attraction | "Dixie Stampede Dinner and Show"

Quote:
When you call ((800) 433-4401, or (843) 497-9700 for show times or dates) for reservations, they will ask where you are from for the seating (North verses South). Reservations are recommended because this is a popular show, and even though they have a large dining and showroom, you may not be able to get seats together at the last minute, or even tickets with the tour buses they have coming to the show.When you first get there, they have an opening act/show in the carriage room that is pretty funny. This lasts for around 45 minutes, and then you are led into the main showroom and your seats. While the pre-show is going on, you can browse through the Dolly store, which has mostly Western-them...Read More

Attraction

Now, being a man, I am not much into shopping, but this is a shopping mall for everybody, male and female, young and old. What you have here is shopping (about 100 specialty stores), dining (20 restaurants, including Planet Hollywood, Nascar Cafe,and Hard Rock), 15 attractions, 10 nightclubs, and even 3 hotels (Holiday Inn, Fairfield and Hampton) on a site spread 350 acres around a large area of water. The 350 acres can be a bit confusing because some of the attractions need to be driven to and are not really close enough to walk to in the busy traffic. We went back a few times while we were there because there really is so much to do. They have a mini golf area if some want to have fun while other...Read More
