bike week

Can anyone suggest a good motel or resort that would be appropriate for a middle age couple during bike week. We will be bringing our bikes to the event. We want ocean front if possible. Reading the reviews of the properties aren%26#39;t clear enough for us. We have stayed before at the Anderson Inn, the Firebird (now demolished) and the Mystic Sea. All were acceptable, but looking for something different. Thanks for any input!



bike week


Carolina Winds at 76th Ave. N. takes bikers and they are always really nice. Their staff enjoys seeing all the different bikes and really makes you fell at home. Their toll free number is 800*523*4027. When you call make sure you tell them you have bikes so that they will know so that they can make room for your bikes. :)

  • Condo near Convention Center

    I am planning to be in MB the week of July 3 with my 9 year old daughter. I will need to be somewhat near the Convention Center, but would like to be on the beach also. Having never been to MB, would like some recommendations. I realize that this will be a peak time and don%26#39;t want to be too far from the Convention Center that I would be fighting traffic to get there. Please help!



    Condo near Convention Center


    The Breaker%26#39;s new place at 21st Ave N. would be the closest to the convention center but also there are lots of other places to. You amy want to look on here and look for the Aves of 17th N. to 30th N.



    Hope this helps you !!!

    Compass Cove ???

    Has anyone stayed at Compass Cove Resorts on 23 Ave. and what is close to it as far as GOOD Restuarants (walking distance)

    Thanks for any info.

    Compass Cove ???

    My aunt and Uncle stayed there and they said that it was not far of walking distance. So I would stay there and they said that the restaraunts were delicious. So I would go with your idea.

  • The South Wind

    Our family of six have been to Myrtle Beach for the last couple of years but this year we decided to stay at a new resort called ';The South Wind';. The website certainly looks nice but since it just opened in the fall of 04 there aren%26#39;t any reviews. Has anyone stayed there? Or possibly a local that has seen the place? I am just curious.



    The South Wind


    This hotel is totally brand new beautiful and a great place to stay alittle far from amusement parks and lazy river not yet finished.



    The South Wind


    The South Winds is breath taking. They are only renting a few of the units. They are all privately owned and are absoultely Gorgeous. I have been in the place once to pick up some info form them so that we could recommend them when we were full.

    Captain's Quarters

    I just booked a week at the Captain%26#39;s Quarters. I%26#39;ve heard good and bad things about this place. It doesn%26#39;t seem to rank any less in quality of room than the others I read about. I will be taking three 15 year old girls.



    Captain's Quarters


    Well I would be looking at the good things because I love this place. They just put a new indoor pool in and an putdoor pool i think. Well your 15 years olds will have a funtime because I did and I am 14 so. I hope your trip is fun .



    Captain's Quarters


    They are doing a lot of work at Captains Quarters. You may want to ask before making reservations if their resort remodeling will be done before the summer to be on the safe side.

    HELP: Senior Week?

    I am planning a trip for a group of Seniors, and I%26#39;m not really familar with the area. I heard that there%26#39;s a Senior Week the first two weeks of June. We will be there June 6-12. I need to know the hottest spots(clubs, attractions, cruises, etc.) We will be staying on Ocean Blv. I heard that was a great location. Thanks.



    HELP: Senior Week?


    Yeah, you should definitely stay on North Ocean Blvd. between about 600-1400 blocks to be in the middle of everything. I graduated last year and a lot of kids from my school went the week your going.....there should be a ton of teenagers and college students.


    You have to go to Freaky Tiki! It%26#39;s walking distance if you stay on the strip, which is nice, and there will be tons of people and they probably will have stuff going on for senior week.


    I%26#39;ve heard Club Kryptonite is really good too. I haven%26#39;t been there but I plan on going this summer when I%26#39;m in myrtle. It%26#39;s at Broadway at the Beach and from what I hear you can take the Lymo Bus there, or take a taxi of course.


    Other than those two clubs, you will just have fun walking the strip and meeting people. And I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll meet more people and find out where the hot spots are.


    If you have any other questions let me know!



    HELP: Senior Week?


    Thank you so much! This was really helpful information. My friends and I are really looking foward to going this summer, I%26#39;ve heard of those particular two clubs, now I%26#39;ll make sure we visit them now. THANKS ALOT!




    If I were you i would stay at The Beach Colony Resort it is the bomb. So I think the seniors would love it and it is away from all of the excitment but, in another way you are only seconds away from the excitement. Well have a great trip




    Broadway at the Beach and Town Square (across from Studebaker%26#39;s on Business 17 at about 20th Ave. N.) are both great places to go for clubs and nightlife! Club Kryptonite and the Freaky Tiki are very fun as well!




    When booking your Hotel make sure you tell them your age cause when you arrive and are under the age of 25 some will sit you out on the street. I am looking out for you. Also the clubs will require you to be 21 to get in the doors. Club K and the clubs at Broadway and Town Square are all like that. Here are a few hotels that will take seniors.... Sand Castle, The Beverly, Poindexter and other little mom and pop places.

    Myrtle in April

    Me and 3 of my buddies are heading to myrtle beach from Apr. 16-22, are there a good amount of people and kids there around this time?



    Myrtle in April


    Yes there will be lots of people in Myrtle the week of the 15th to the 23rd. It is New York and Rutland, Vt spring break during that week. The hotel we are staying at said that you need to mnake reservations really fast to get a room that week.



    Hope this helps.



    Myrtle in April
