Ocean Creek Resort is tucked away in a forest (allowing for peace and quiet) with access to a private beach, right across from Barefoot Landing in Myrtle Beach. Once you get settled into your condo, get changed into swimsuits, grab goggles and pool toys and get everybody sun-screened up before heading to the outdoor pool and children’s pool (or the indoor pool if the weather isn't cooperating). Lounge with a cocktail from the poolside bar and get comfortable – you’re going to be here for a while. When it’s time for lunch, there’s a Southern-Style buffet and an Oceanfront Bar & Grill to choose from. Little ones will have a blast on the children’s playground. If you like tennis, you won’t be disappointed by the resort’s seven courts.

The condos at this Myrtle Beach resort are simple, clean (thanks to daily housekeeping), air conditioned and spacious, which make for a perfect spot to enjoy your family vacation on the Grand Strand. Studio condos sleep four guests. Kitchenettes allow you to make the basics. One- and two-bedroom condos sleep four to six guests and have full kitchens with everything that you need to whip up anything from sandwiches to multi-course meals. Head to the Super BI-LO for groceries, and take the kids along to make sure that no one’s favorite snacks are forgotten. Catch a Friends rerun or the big game on the Cable TV. The last thing that you want to do at the end of a vacation is laundry. Thankfully, there’s a laundry facility on-site, so the only thing you have to do when you get home is to unpack.

Ocean Creek Resort is just a short drive to Arcadian Shores Golf Club. Gather all of the golfers in your crew and get ready for a little friendly competition. Barefoot Landing is home to shopping, Alligator Adventure, T.I.G.E.R.S. Preservation Park, and House of Blues. Barefoot Landing is located along the Intracoastal Waterway where you can rent jet skis, kayaks, and more. Go for a ride on the SkyWheel. It’s almost two-hundred feet tall has the best views of the area, and the climate controlled gondolas ensure everyone’s comfort. Fans of the Believe It or Not cartoons will love Ripley’s Odditorium and Ripley’s Aquarium. The Odditorium features the personal collection of strange and unusual artifacts owned by Robert Ripley. The Aquarium has a 750,000-gallon shark tank, glass-bottomed boat rides and a stingray experience. Surprise the kids with a visit to the Children’s Museum of South Carolina. The interactive exhibits allow kids to have fun and learn at the same time. They can be a newscaster or weather person at the Weather Center & Continuous News Desk. They can learn about money while pretending to be a bank teller at The Big Bank. Dinosaur lovers will enjoy the South Carolina Fossil House, where they can pretend to be a paleontologist.
