The holidays are a stressful time. So why not unwind and take in the serenity and clam of a beach destination, with plenty of golf options and family fun. Myrtle Beach – with its majestic Grand Stand of 60 miles of sweeping Atlantic coastline – offers a virtual feast of choices of stay-and-play vacations to not only to get in some serious swings, but to also have loads of festive fun in style. If you’re looking for an affordable oasis to relax this holiday season, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, Myrtle Beach Oceanfront could be just the thing.

Situated on a quarter-mile stretch of the Atlantic’s serene shoreline, the 30-acre DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, Myrtle Beach Oceanfront rests at the south end of Myrtle Beach’s Ocean Boulevard. After a 12-month, multi-million dollar, resort-wide renovation was completed, the property now boasts a new main building with ocean view restaurant and lounge, outdoor entertainment terrace, and “grab & go” market, 35,000 square feet of meeting space, roomy accommodations with oceanfront balconies, six pools, a fitness center and expansive lawns for endless enjoyment.

Located adjacent to Myrtle Beach State Park, the resort is mere minutes from the Myrtle Beach International Airport and Market Commons lifestyle center.

The DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, Myrtle Beach Oceanfront delivers a fantastic sense of arrival, upon check-in, guests are immediately greeted by the expanse of shoreline and Atlantic blue waters through floor-to-ceiling windows as well as a sophisticated beach design and vibe created by vaulted ceilings, dramatic lighting, sleek furniture, and coastal colors and fabrics.

Providing comfort is a top priority for DoubleTree Resort by Hilton, Myrtle Beach Oceanfront. Located in the resort’s Live Oak and Palmetto Towers, all 452 oceanfront guest rooms feature 40-inch HD TVs, DoubleTree’s signature Sweet Dreams bedding, mini-refrigerator, microwave and private balcony with outdoor seating.

While at the resort, experience its abundance of family-friendly amenities. Make a splash in one of the six swimming pools, which are all handicap-accessible (we recommend the indoor pool this time of year), two lazy rivers or along a quarter-mile stretch of private beach. Make sure also to check out the resort’s ultimate 18-hole mini golf.

The food and beverage offerings are also the main components of the resort’s appeal, with the addition of Ocean Blue Restaurant and Lounge, the Southern Tide Bar & Grille which overlooks the beautiful Atlantic, and “grab & go,” a full-service commissary style market offers guests a wide variety of dining selections.

Ocean Blue Lounge is designed to stimulate conversation and energy with a spacious open-air layout that is the hub of activity. From a bourbon-and rum-centric bar, the lounge features carefully crafted cocktails with fresh ingredients, as well as light bites and traditional appetizers.
