Our family has a bit of a dilemma with our upcoming beach trip in August. We are booked at the Bay Watch Resort through Elliott Realty for the week of August 13th - 20th. When we booked our trip back in February the county school system that my daughter attends had Monday, August 22nd as the first day of school. Well, now they have changed the opening day to Friday, August 19th. They say that the State Board of Education made them change due to a special election for Governor that we will be having in October. I won't get on my soap box here and let you know what I think about the Board's decision and how I think they could have handled it better. My daughter will be entering her last year of middle school and doesn't really want to miss the first day.
As a consequence, we are thinking of trying to come down on Friday, August 12th and stay one night before our regular reservation kicks in. This will give us all day Saturday to enjoy the beach since we will probably leave late afternoon/early evening the following Thursday in order to be back for the first day of school. Does anyone know of any nice/clean oceanfront hotels or resorts that accept one night stays in the summer? I don't think location really matters, but I would choose North Myrtle if available since that is where we will be staying for the week. I realize we may have to stay a block over from the beach, but I'd like to exhaust all oceanfront possibilities before booking. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
