Oceanfront lodging close to shopping, restaurants, etc.?

Any recommendations? Trying to help a friend who is staying there the end of August. Her boyfriend will be golfing most days and she will not have a car and wants to be able to walk places - oceanfront is a must!





Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Well, the way Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas are laid out makes it nearly impossible to accomodate that. The five biggest places for shopping are Coastal Grand Mall, Tanger Outlets NMB, Barefoot Landing, Tanger Outlets 501, and Broadway at the beach. All of these are laid out on major hwy%26#39;s (17, and 501), which are no where near oceanfront, although they have lodging nearby.

I don%26#39;t think she wanted to be close to a mall, just maybe some small stores. Perhaps some of the larger resort hotels have some shops or restaurants on site so she would have everything she needs right there? I also must admit that I%26#39;ve read a lot of the hotel reviews on Trip Advisor and I%26#39;m a bit taken aback to see so many negative ones - seems like there are some really inconsistent reviews even among the higher rated properties!
