Autumn in the Grand Strand

We have much to offer our visitors during the autumn months from scenic outdoors adventures, to unique cultural happenings and memorable dining experiences in over 1,800 restaurants. In fact, you could visit several times a year and still have a different itinerary of things to do each time.

5 Things To Pack For Your Beach Vacation



When it comes to packing for a beach vacation, most people know to back the basics–bathing suit, sunscreen, flip flops, check–but that’s not where your packing list should end! Here’s our list of the 5 things you should pack if you’re staying in a beach rental.

1. Household Necessities
Although we provide basic kitchenware, like plates and utensils, it’s important to remember that you’ll need to bring your own food, including spices and herbs. Many of our houses also come with washer / dryers and dishwashers, so you’ll also want to bring detergent, dish soap, sponges, paper towels, toilet paper, and trashbags.

2. Linens
We offer linen packages with every booking, but if you elect not to purchase a linen package, then you’ll need to remember to bring your own sheets and bath towels.

3. Beach Gear
Just like you would for any beach vacation, you’ll want to bring https://cialtad.com things to make your time spent on the beach more comfortable. This could include beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, beach games, shovels, buckets, books, and a waterproof camera, among others!

4. In-Home Entertainment
Although Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, and Garden City Beach offer countless opportunities for entertainment, you might want to spend part of your vacation by staying in instead of going out. Keep yourself entertained with books, board games, DVDs, and arts & crafts supplies that will beat the occasional bouts of boredom.

5. An Extra Bag
It’s inevitable that after any vacation, you’re going to end up with some souvenirs. Be sure to bring an extra bag to carry all of your vacation purchases in, be they t-shirts, seashells, or your own arts & crafts projects!
