Beach Cove is located on the beachfront near popular Barefoot Landing, a hub for restaurants, shops, and entertainment options in the area.

Within the resort itself, guests can enjoy a uniquely tropical pool desk, a lazy river, and instant beach access.

All units are oceanfront so choose between the 1, 2, and 3 bedroom options based on the amount of size you need because regardless, you’ll have a great view.

7. Grand Strand Resorts

Location: North Myrtle Beach

Although not just one resort but many, if you’re now intrigued by the idea of staying in North Myrtle Beach rather than Myrtle Beach, Grand Strand Resorts is a great place to start your search.
