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!

Jekyll Island Best Oceanfront Property - Holiday Inn Resort

Our highlight of summer as a family was our time well spent on Jekyll Island, Georgia. We were hosted by the most hospitable Jekyll Island Oceanfront Resort | Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island Georgia. Jekyll Island is one of the Golden Isles.

This was our first visit and we have a story to share! What a treasure these islands are! Have you been? We will share some of the best of the Oceanfront Resort Holiday Inn.

Holiday Inn Oceanfront Resort Jekyll Island, Georgia 

We loved all of the palm trees on the island. We enjoyed the Oceanside drive up and then, there was the beautiful Holiday Inn Resort! Check in was simple and easy. We were delighted with the spacious suites! These are perfect for families, girlfriend's getaways and anniversary trips!

With the beautiful and sultry Georgia weather, a visit to the Holiday Inn Resort Oceanfront at Jekyll Island is a great trip any time of year! We had a great view of the ocean! Here is our balcony! 

A cool welcome at the Welcome Center of the resort. They think of every detail to keep you comfortable.  

We had a lot of space! Two queen size beds that were very comfortable and we had another suite! 

Here is the other part of the suite that leads to the balcony. This sofa was a pull out queen size bed! This was great for extra sleep space for our boys! 

Our bathroom was pretty and spacious with nice granite counters. There was a shower and bath so everyone was happy. There was an abundance of toiletries and fresh towels.

The kitchenette was really great for snacks and heating up our leftovers! We used the refrigerator for bottled water. At night, we like to enjoy hot tea and popcorn! The keurig coffee was so convenient and tasty in the mornings. 

We're crazy for sunsets! This was our view walking up the boardwalk from the private ocean.

The property is gorgeous and well maintained! 

We all made ourselves at home at the Jekyll Island Holiday Inn Oceanfront Resort! The beach is such a tranquil backdrop to all of the activities! We loved the boardwalks connecting the property and the beach! Our skateboarder loved it! :) 

You will love the privacy of the beachfront private property at the Holiday Inn Resort!We loved the privacy.

The beaches had much to offer. We loved finding sand dollars like this one our son found. They were delightful surprises that are displayed on our mantle as we enjoy the memories of Jekyll Island and the last days of summertime. 

My husband, Boulder Mt. Man, lead the Frisbee competition! He has taught them well! We loved some family rounds. 

My guys! Frisbee extraordinaire! 

Father son frisbee has all the throws! 

We loved sunset at the beach! So romantic! We loved chasing after the boys! Still! :) They ran ahead to the pool. We loved the pool, too.... 

Jekyll Island is beautiful! We loved waking to the shore each day! The sunsets were amazing! 

Our boys loved the swimming pool! It reminded me of the infinity pools! This one is right off of the ocean so it is gorgeous! We have some fun nights swimming there after some amazing days on the ocean! 

It was such a full circle feeling to watch our boys swim into the night at the Holiday Inn Resort! I vividly recall my brother, sisters and I swimming for hours on end on a family vacation at the Holiday Inn! I had moments 'with my parents' thinking of all the time they watched us swim! 

We even painted poolside! Boulder Mt. Man has found another gift! :) He is quite the artist! 

The evenings were tranquil. 

Our boys had fun in the spa, too. With the ocean breezes, the hot tub felt great. 

So did our cabana chaise lounge chairs. 

The pool was beautiful and the water was clean and cool. 

Here is a beautiful view of the community enjoying the outdoor fire pit on the patio of the resort under the expansive oak trees! The oak trees also made me feel right at home with their Spanish moss and I grew up on Oak Street!

One evening I took these photos of the beautiful common area of the resort. 

The business center was great, too! 

Back outdoors on the ocean, you can see this is a glorious view from our balcony. Every day was a treat! We love the palm trees, the fire pits on two decks.

This was our usual set up! We were in the ocean with short reprieves under the umbrella! 

These cabanas were THE best! They are right next to the pool. In the evenings, we enjoyed star gazing! these were awesome and so relaxing! 

Speaking of the cabanas, here is a fun cabana on the pool deck that had a little privacy for a nap in tehesun with the ocean breeze! Loved it! 

 Oh, the ocean front! 

Here you can see the toddler pool and the regular pool with the ocean in the backdrop! 

Perfection! 

As a family, we enjoyed so much fun on the beautiful Jekyll Island private beach! 

Holiday Inn Resort hosted a Caribou Coffee bar each morning! Of course, we loved it! 

You can order other coffee drinks here. All on a cafe area by the gym on the second floor. 

From our balcony, we watched cruises, oceanliners and fisherman at sea. 

How about that! 

Here is a classic view of the patio side of the property facing the ocean! The porches and patios were a nice size and right off of the living room area of the suites. This is an all suite Holiday Inn Resort! You'll love all of the space! 

Jekyll Island, Holiday Inn Oceanfront Resort is great for anytime! Thanksgiving would be an ideal time to enjoy this treasure! You would enjoy the private beaches and beautiful weather! That's a fabulous Thanksgiving, Fall Break, Spring Break or anytime! Book your trip here!
