Tips for a Spring Getaway to the Beach
1. Plan Early
The best way to get the accommodations you want is to get started now. Whether it’s a solo getaway, couple’s retreat, or family vacation, you’ll want to find a resort that fits. Here are factors to consider when making reservations.
PROXIMITY. You’ll want a resort that’s close to the things you’ll want to do while you’re on the Grand Strand. Want easy beach access and great restaurants nearby? Consider a place such as Paradise Resort.
AMENITIES. There should be perks of staying in, too. Some resorts offer so much, it’s easy to spend a whole day on site. Would you like a spa day on your getaway? Consider a place such as Caribbean Resort.
CHOICES. Brittain Resorts has properties in Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle, and Litchfield. Choose the one that fits you best by visiting Brittain Resorts.
2. Pick Your Wardrobe
