The beachfront Towers at North Myrtle Beach are located in Cherry Grove Beach near the best attractions that the area has to offer. There’s no shortage of underwater fun available at the resort. Go for a swim in the outdoor pool or relax in the hot tub. Your aqua-adventurers will beeline for the jungle themed waterpark, guaranteed. Packed with bucket-flippers and a twisty slide, it’s a kid magnet. Once they’ve had their fill of the splash mania, head for the low-key lazy river, where you can kick back and watch the clouds drift by as you make loop after loop after loop. Or grab a few loungers on the beach and compete for “Coolest Shell” or “Fanciest Sand Castle.”

Studio and one-bedroom condos sleep two to four guests. Kitchenettes allow you prepare the basics. Need more space? Three-bedroom condos sleep up to nine guests. Full kitchens have what you need to whip up anything from sandwiches to multi-course meals. Stop by the nearby Kroger for groceries. Recruit the kids to help bake your famous snickerdoodles (and bring cookie cutters from home so they can make them into fun shapes). The in-suite washer/dryer will come in handy in case things get crazy. While the laundry is going, catch a Friends rerun on the Flatscreen TV, it has Cable. DVD players are perfect for a low-key night in for family movie night. Bring favorite movies from home, pop some popcorn and call everyone into the living room. Last one on the couch is a rotten egg! Good news! All condos are air conditioned.

Surf Golf & Beach Club is a short walk from the resort and welcomes golfers of all experience levels. It was designed by George Cobb and renovated by John LaFoy. Save an evening or two for the epic mini golf adventures at nearby Mayday Golf, or the appropriately named Molten Mountain, complete with a 50-foot active volcano. When it comes to shopping, there are plenty of options. Barefoot Landing is a fifteen-minute drive from the resort. Treat yourself to a new pair of shades by Chanel, Coach or Ralph Lauren at Sunglass Hut. Get in touch with your inner elf at Christmas Mouse. Cariloha features apparel for women and men made out of bamboo. Broadway at the Beach is home to Build-a-Bear. Surprise the kids and let them participate in making their own stuffed animal. Make your own unique jewelry at Pick a Pearl. Bring home a gift for your four-legged family member from Reigning Cats & Dogs. When you get hungry, there’s Hard Rock Cafe, Extreme Pizza and Joe’s Crab Shack.
