My first visit to Myrtle Beach was in 1976 and it was hard to not fall in love... the clean soft-sand beaches and gentle surf, amazing sunrises and sunsets, stellar year-round weather, plus an abundance of excellent restaurants along with a wide variety of entertainment, top-rated golf courses, and the best shopping - all wrapped up in warm, Southern hospitality. My search for a vacation property on the ocean led me to Grande Shores, a well-maintained, family-oriented resort situated in an upscale residential neighborhood. The breathtaking views of the SC coast stopped me in my tracks and the courteous staff won me over.
