Every family that calls our office has the same first question, and it’s never about price. It’s about the one thing the trip can’t happen without.

For some it’s the dog. For others it’s a pool, because the teenagers won’t get in the ocean before noon and the grandparents won’t get in it at all. Golf groups want a pool table. Couples want to slide open the door and hear the surf. Big reunions want to step off the porch straight onto the sand.

North Myrtle Beach has a house for every one of those answers. We’ve sorted all of them into collections — oceanfront, across the street, walk-to-beach, marsh and channel, private pool, game room, dog-friendly — so you can start with your must-have and skip the scrolling.

Our new guide walks through every collection, who each one suits, and how to stack features to land on the right house. Pick your non-negotiable and go:

Oceanfront, private pool, game room, dog-friendly, marsh view or across the street from the beach. Start with the one thing your trip cannot happen without.

Some views leave you speechless! 🌕🌊 A spectacular moonrise over the Carolina coast, with our beautiful beaches glowing beneath the evening sky. What a breathtaking capture by Rick Wells! 📸

Rick Wells captured this incredible photo of the full moon rising tonight with his drone. In this photo you can see Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, Bird Island, Waites Island and part of Cherry Grove. Phenomenal photo Rick!

The porch lights are coming on early along Ocean Drive, and the jack-o’-lanterns are already on the beach-house steps. Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and the whole week is one long night waiting to happen. Here is where to be, hour by hour, from the ballpark to Barefoot Landing.

Every confirmed Halloween event on the Grand Strand, October 29 through November 1, with times, addresses, and the best beach to stay on for each.

“Pull up that chair. We can fit one more.” 💙

Remember dinner at the beach house?

The chairs didn’t match. Someone sat on a folded towel to reach the table. There was a serving spoon in the wrong dish and a familiar voice asking who wanted seconds.

You passed plates, bumped elbows, and listened while everyone offered a different version of what happened that afternoon.

Somehow, there was always room.

This Sunday, we’re remembering the feeling of being expected at the table—your chair waiting, your favorite person beside you, and nowhere else you needed to be.

What meal always brings back your family’s beach vacations?

Start with the people you’d love around the table. Let your next North Myrtle Beach trip grow from there.

“You’re bringing half the beach into the house.” 😂🌊

Remember the rinse-off before anyone was allowed back inside?

You balanced on one foot while someone aimed the hose at the other. The water was colder than expected. You squealed, hopped away, and immediately put your clean foot back in the sand.

“Other foot. No—the OTHER one.”

Somehow, a two-minute job became another reason for everyone to laugh.

This Saturday, we’re remembering the sandy little routines that belonged to a beach vacation: towels over the railing, sandals by the door, and someone patiently washing the beach out from between your toes.

Who was in charge of the hose in your family?

Here’s to another stay with sandy feet and stories worth bringing home. 💙

Grandma said she didn’t know how to play. Then she got a hole-in-one. ⛳💙

Remember those miniature-golf nights at the beach?

Everyone picked a different-colored ball. Dad explained the rules. Someone’s ball got stuck against the edge, and someone else was keeping a very questionable score.

Then Grandma stepped up, tapped her ball, and watched it roll straight into the cup.

The laughter. Her surprised face. The way the family talked about it all the way back to the beach house.

Maybe you’ve forgotten who won. But you remember who made the evening.

This Friday, we’re raising an imaginary tiny pencil to those wonderfully competitive family vacations.

Who was the surprise mini-golf champion in your family?

“Let me hold it by myself.” 🪁🌊

You’d watched the kite tumble into the sand three times. Someone straightened the tail, checked the string, and said, “All right. Try again.”

Then the wind caught it.

Suddenly, that little plastic handle felt important. You planted your feet, looked up, and held on with both hands while Dad stayed close enough to help.

Remember how proud you felt when he finally let go?

This Thursday, we’re remembering the patient people who helped us get something off the ground—and let us believe we’d done it ourselves.

A little breeze, a simple kite, and an afternoon together. That’s a beach memory worth making again.

Who taught you to fly a kite? 💙

🎃 Dinosaurs, superheroes and at least one dog in a cape. Saturday at Barefoot Landing is going to be a scene.

BooFest is this Saturday, October 24, noon to 4 pm on the waterway. Kids’ costume contests in three age groups (3 & under, 4-7, 8-12), a pet costume contest, stilt walkers, balloon twisting and character appearances, with prizes for the top three in every contest. Registration opens at 11, and the line forms early.

Then come back on Halloween night for trick-or-treating at the shops from 5 to 7.

We wrote a local’s guide with the full schedule, where to park, where to feed the crew between contests, and how to fit BooFest in with everything else happening in North Myrtle Beach that day (it’s a busy Saturday).

🦆 A few hundred rubber ducks. One waterway. Three winners.

This Saturday, October 24, the Sea Haven Duck Derby hits the Intracoastal Waterway at Captain Archie’s in Cherry Grove. Adopt a duck for $5, grab a spot on the deck, and cheer for a duck you’ll never be able to tell apart from the rest. The first three across the line win cash prizes.

The rest of the money goes to Sea Haven, the North Myrtle Beach nonprofit that has run Horry County’s only emergency shelter for runaway and homeless teens since 1980. That’s a pretty good use of five dollars.

We put together a local’s guide to the derby: how it works, who Sea Haven helps, what to expect at Captain Archie’s, and how to turn race day into a fall weekend on the north end.
