South Carolina has some great beaches along its eastern coast. Among the most notable of these is Myrtle Beach, the hub of the grand strand and the largest resort on the east coast of South Carolina. This silky stretch of white sand is great for water-sports such as sailing and surfing. South Carolina is also regarded as one of the top golfing destinations in America. South Carolina has some notable historic towns which are worth visiting such as Charleston.

Saved Our Vacation

We visited Myrtle Beach as a quick vacation getaway. We made reservations at another hotel that was horrible. Homewood Suites saved our trip! We booked our reservation online and by the time we arrived we were greeted with cleanliness and smiling faces! Tenisha check us in and made us feel relaxed and at ease! Check in was smooth and quick. We even got a few laughs in! The hotel was phenomenal! There was plenty for our teenaged kids to do to keep busy. Everything we needed was within walking distance, as well as the beach! We noticed friendly employees and happy guests, which was a true sign of satisfaction! This is now our go to when we decide to visit again! Thanks Homewood Suites, Tenisha, and staff for a Wonderful experience!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Francis Marion. They were extremely accommodating for an earlier check in request as my toddler needed a nap coming from the west coast. Super close to everything we could need. We walked everywhere!! And a plus was the farmers market Saturday morning across the street. Hotel restaurant and bar had great food too! We highly recommend this hotel

On Hilton Head Island, there is no place like Beach House. A world away from the sprawling, plantation-style resorts—Beach House keeps things comfortable, casual and conveniently close. The sun-kissed beach, iconic Tiki Bar, refreshing pool, and tasty Lowcountry cooking are all here. The legendary Tiki Hut is the heartbeat of Beach House with cold beer, frosty cocktails and live music nearly every day. It’s the spot for an incredible time right on the beach. Guests can enjoy casual and fresh Lowcountry favorites at The Porch Southern Kitchen & Bar with dining options on the spacious patio, around an inviting firepit, relaxing poolside, or in the bright indoor dining room. The coastal-themed guestrooms provide ultimate comfort when guests are ready to relax and recharge.

USS MILLS DER-383 held our 4 day annual reunion at the Town & Country Inn in May 2022. Location is very good; within the city limits of Charleston on the main thoroughfare. Accommodations were beyond expectation in every way. Rooms were modern, clean, easily accessed and reasonably priced for Charleston. There is a restaurant in the hotel that our crew used extensively. Hospitality room was perfect, it featured comfortable seating, was spacious and offered constant availability of water, ice, and ability to make coffee. Most importantly - Everyone our attendees made contact with was beyond professional, friendly and smiling. MILLS crew heartily recommends this facility for any need you have for an exceptional hotel.

This resort is AMAZING! The staff went above and beyond to arrange 2 rooms for me and my family after my original reservation through a third party company did not populate. The pools are beautiful, spacious, and clean. The bar is right beside the pool and beach: drinks are delicious and variety! Rooms are clean, beds comfy!
