DoubleTree Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Views - Family Travel Review

DoubleTree by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort

Spring in Myrtle Beach is beautiful. We loved partnering with DoubleTree by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort in early March. This beautiful property has all of the amenities you'll need and plenty of space! We loved all of the opportunities right on the property. Come check it out!

We arrived to the most incredible welcoming staff with beautiful ocean views! From the moment we walked through the door, we were in our own private paradise. DoubleTree Myrtle Beach has its own private beach so you get a quieter experience with other guests only. It was nice to be spoiled.

We loved all of the decks with comfortable, pretty outdoor furniture to relax, outdoor seating at Ocean Blue restaurant and the patio seating all in the main resort building. DoubleTree Myrtle Beach is unique in that it has separate buildings and with those two buildings come with their own amenities. Convenient, clean and fun. Their private oceanfront beach was our favorite!

DoubleTree Myrtle Beach keeps the tradition of homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies which is their original recipe for the resort! So delicious. Our boys were happy to enjoy these.

Here is a Pro Tip for Families and Groups: 

At DoubleTree you can get adjoining rooms with oceanfront balconies! The boys had their own bathroom and room and we had our separate room and bath making it a suite for our family. Here is the view from our room at sunset. So fun! I love the pink clouds peeking through the cloudy sunset.

We spent time relaxing in the community room with an ocean view. So fun! Bright and beautiful! 

Here is the beautiful deck Oceanside. So mesmerizing to relax here! 

We loved the Fitness Center! Our family enjoyed working out together after our drive down to Myrtle Beach. It was so wonderful. We all enjoyed the activity including weights, treadmill, and elliptical.  You have key access anytime you'd like.

The Fitness Room had plenty of towels, headphones (disposable so helpful!) and filtered water! We were really set then! I needed the headphones since my headphones were still packed. It was great to just workout while there and not miss my music! Really thoughtful amenities there. There was plenty of equipment for all four of us to do our own favorite workouts.

The Fitness Center was locked and you just scan your DoubleTree Key Card to get in for easy access wheneve you want to workout. We enjoyed working out and having the equipment we needed for full workouts! 

We enjoyed the treadmill! My favorite! :) 

Then, it was on to the indoor pool! It was a little cool earlier in March so it was great the boys could still swim and enjoy the indoor heated pool. There are six pools and two lazy rivers on property! 

Here was another great view from Ocean Blue Restaurant! I'll have a separate write up of the amazing breakfasts we had there! Here are the views - indoors and outdoors. The choice is yours and the service is exceptional. We loved the healthy omelet options and more. 

Our rooms were modern and spacious! The beds were very comfortable! Our rooms were so spacious and we loved the oceanfront patios. Our boys' room connected for our own private suite. :) We all loved it.

The on-site Concierge was helpful in answering questions and making recommendations. We loved the Guest Services Texting. Every time we needed a thing, we texted and asked and they helped us quickly making our stay all the more pleasant.

We loved the Farm Fresh Omelettes. Made to order. The Chef was so accommodating. 

We enjoyed choosing our vegetables, meats, and cheeses. 

Here are a couple that we created! I tried the Low Country Omelet with crab and soft cheeses. It was delicious! 

Here is my hot and fresh breakfast! I love grapefruit so I enjoyed this fresh grapefruit with my meal. 

After the hearty breakfast, we walked on the beach! It as so refreshing. 

The boys have always loved the beach. We're fortunate. 

 The DoubleTree pool by the restaurant, Ocean Blue, was inviting as well! We almost had breakfast poolside. :)

I was very happy doing a little photo editing in the Cabanas! These were vibrant, comfortable and private! The minifrigerators were cute, too.

I had a relaxing and beautiful view! The Cabanas are great for catching a nap, too! 

Thank you DoubleTree Oceanfront Resort Myrtle Beach by Hilton for hosting our family! We loved our stay and hope to see you again soon. We hope you get to go!

Beach Vacation: Ocean Isle Inn and Jet Set Vacations

My family and I absolutely love going to Ocean Isle Inn on Ocean Isle Beach, NC. It is so nice to be in a beach town that is relatively undeveloped as far as chains and high rises are concerned. We know we're getting closer as we drive over the bridges and Wilmington and see the USS North Carolina Battleship.

The staff at Ocean Isle Inn is always so welcoming when we arrive. The inn is right on the Atlantic Ocean, one beach north of the southern most beach in North Carolina. Even in the peak of summer, it has such a relaxed, small feel to it because of the non-development out on the island. We all love to swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, and boogie board at least twice a day so we can experience the beach life to the fullest.

You can rent kayaks, bicycles and other sporting goods at a local store, and they have an amazing ice cream shop that is a must do while there. All of this is within walking distance of Ocean Isle Inn, with the exception of some of the restaurants, unless of course you are feeling rather ambitious. We like to save the longer walks for the walks on the beach.

The next time we take an all inclusive vacation Get-Away we want to try JetSetVacations for our travel booking needs. JetSetVacations.com is a travel wholesaler with 15 years of experience.

Every booking provides you with white glove service which includes a vacation concierge to assist you with your needs while you are on vacation." That is top notch in my book.

JetSetVacations guarantee the lowest rates to Mexico, Costa Rica and the Caribbean. They also specialize in helping those families that travel on a budget.
