Hotels for little ones...................................

We are planning a trip with our three year old daughter in early May, and we are looking for a hotel that is nice for young children.We have stayed at the Ocean Park Resort (not the greatest) and Mystic Sea (Nice little place).We like the south end of Myrtle, and a place that has a kiddy pool would be great. We also would like to try some seafood resturants

in Murrels Inlet (Any good one';s?)

Does anybody have any info on Bar Harbor?

Also, I keep getting two different addresses for their Hotel

(one is 100 South Ocean Blvd.) and the other is 1st Ave. N

at N Ocean Blvd? I have looked at so many Hotels for the past three days that I%26#39;m completly confused at picking a place...

Thank you for any insight!

I think you should consider sea crest or sea mist you daugher would enjoy the kiddie pool at the sea crest.It has a small frog slide and mushroom.It is underneath the resort but still can look out over the outside pool area and beach which is nice since she will not get sun burned.They offer a cont. breakfrast which is good which saves time and money in the a.m.If you stay hear make sure you get oceanfront as the rooms facing the small parking area and office are not as nice.If you have any other questions let me know.I would be glad to help.

I looked in my Myrtle beach book Bar harbor is listed address is 100 north ocean blvd.their website is www.bar-harbor.com If you are looking for a nice budget hotel for little ones you should try sea mist I got a brouche in the mail today looks like you can get a package deal there cheap.You get room with 2dbl beds, daily passes to sea mist waterpark ,miniature golf unlimited use ,one free breakfast buffet for the family ,and daily passes for family kingdom amusement park starting at 450.00 for 5 nights.they have the package for all night stays their website is www.seamist.com I do know from experience it is chaper to call the resort.the waterpark is heated and has nice playground for kids.

You asked about good seafood restaurants in Murrels Inlet.

Drunkin Jacks is very good, a little pricey but you get a fair portion and it%26#39;s fresh.

Also there is Nances and Dockside Daves that I%26#39;ve heard good reviews about.

If you want to try something different go to Pier 14 on 14th Ave North, right behind the Yachtsman Hotel. The restaurant is out on the pier and the food is good.

I saw where someone mentioned the Sea Mist as a place to stay, they do have a lot of things for the kids to do but the last two times we stayed there it was filthy. We haven%26#39;t been back.

We just stayed there during spring break and did not she anything dirty as a matter of fact a room looked as if it has just been remodeled.If ever you have have a problem with anthing they will help.The would change your room if not happy.

My personal favorite seafood in Murrell%26#39;s Inlet is Lee%26#39;s Inlet Kitchen. I would also suggest you check out the Sandy Beach Resort. The rooms in the Magnolia building are nice, spacious, have kitchens and are all oceanfront. They have multiple pools including a kiddie pool, hot tubs and a small lazy river. The lazy river and one of the pools and hot tubs are under the building so you can seek shade for yourself and little one in the heat of the day. Family Kingdom amusement park is across the street as is a small convenience store. The areas only oceanfront water park is next door as is a decent ice cream parlor. The location is great as you can navigate via backroads and avoid Hwy. 17 , 501 and Ocean Blvd. traffic for the most part. We%26#39;ve stayed here many times since the original owners of the Roxanne sold several years ago and have enjoyed every stay.

Coaster, thanks for the info on Lee%26#39;s. I have tried to check

availability and pricing online for Sandy Beach the past few days, but their system must be down. I also emailed our itinerary, but they

have not returned my inquiries.

Speaking of the pier resturant, does anybody have any info

on the Yahtsman? We have been to Myrtle several times, and being from Jersey, I know that your not going to find lavish pampered lodging here.... heck, the only difference between Wildwood and Myrtle is the terms, ';The Shore'; and ';The Beach';!

Please keep the posts comming, I%26#39;m running out of time to book our trip!

Thanks,

Jeff

The Yachtsman is right on 14th ave North. They have been there for at least 26 years. They have private condos you can rent and it is in a busy area of Myrtle beach. I think that the rooms run clear through, as you have ocean front and street front. Pier 14 is right there so you might have to move a little up or down the beach to get in the ocean.(No swimming too close to pier)

I haven%26#39;t stayed there for a very long time so I can%26#39;t tell you much about service or the rooms.
