What Families Drive In For

The Grand Strand's headline attractions, all within a short hop of the homes.

Broadway at the Beach

Shops, restaurants, mini-golf and Ripley's Aquarium around a lakeside boardwalk, an easy full day, about 15 minutes up the road.

Boardwalk & SkyWheel

The oceanfront boardwalk, the 187-foot SkyWheel, and the legendary Gay Dolphin gift shop, peak Myrtle Beach, day or night.

Ripley's Aquarium

Shark tunnel, stingray touch tank, and mermaid shows, built for the under-10 crowd at Broadway at the Beach.

Brookgreen Gardens

Sculpture gardens, lowcountry trails, and a small zoo about 30 minutes south, the calm counterweight to the boardwalk.

Murrells Inlet MarshWalk

A half-mile boardwalk over the salt marsh lined with seafood restaurants and dolphin cruises, about 20 minutes south.

Family Kingdom & Mini Golf

Oceanfront amusement-park rides and dozens of themed mini-golf courses, the classic Grand Strand evening out.
Sean's Local Picks

Where Sean Sends Guests

The spots Sean recommends to his own guests, not a generic top-ten list.

PopStroke

Tiger Woods-designed putting courses at Broadway at the Beach, Sean calls it an absolute blast.

American Tap House

Sean's go-to at Broadway: a deep beer list and a solid menu when you want a real meal out.

The Gay Dolphin

Several floors of unique souvenirs on the Boardwalk, a Myrtle Beach institution worth a wander.

Murrells Inlet Seafood

Sean points guests to the MarshWalk for fresh local seafood and a sunset over the water.

Ripley's Aquarium

His pick for a rainy afternoon or a younger crowd, the shark tunnel is the showstopper.

Brookgreen Gardens

Worth the drive south for sculpture, gardens and trails, time it for the seasonal evening hours when the grounds stay lit after dark.
Three homes, one gate

High Tide, Jacks Getaway, and Johns Retreat

Two family beach houses inside Ocean Lakes plus a condo in nearby Dunes Village, booked direct with Sean, the owner you can text. No third-party fees; full Ocean Lakes resort access at the two houses.
