🌊 Need a beach escape? This oceanfront resort is just hours from Raleigh

Hi

Need a quick reset by the sea?

We just spent two nights at Grand Shores Resort in Myrtle Beach and wow—it was exactly the kind of breezy, no-stress escape we needed. With oceanfront rooms, a rooftop lazy river, and a location far enough from the crowds but still close to everything, it hit all the right notes for a weekend getaway.

Whether you're planning a beach trip with the kids, your partner, or a group of friends, this oceanfront gem offers:

✅ Sunrise views from your balcony
✅ Affordable rooms that fit the whole crew
✅ Happy hour (yes, we do miss that in NC!)
✅ Text alerts + mobile check-in that made everything SO easy
✅ And that salty breeze you’ve been craving

We recapped our stay, favorite food spots (hello, BBQ nachos + all-you-can-eat seafood buffet), and tips in our latest blog post. Don’t miss the Reel for a peek at the views!
