Beaufort Oceanfront One Bedroom Condo

This condo at North Beach Resort & Villas is an oceanfront category, so you look out toward the Atlantic rather than at the parking areas or the town side. The resort is a 7.5-acre property between Kings Highway and the ocean, so the water is close by.

The bedroom has 1 king bed with bed linens and blackout drapes. The living area adds a double-size sofa bed. The condo is set up for 2 guests, which makes it a natural fit for a couple or two travelers who want room to spread out.

At 953 sq. ft., it is a true one bedroom condo. It has a separate bedroom, a living area with a 48-inch flat-screen TV and cable, a dining table, and a full kitchen. Hardwood flooring and an area rug run through the individually decorated, individually furnished interior.

You can do either. The kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, stovetop, oven, microwave and dishwasher, plus cookware, dishware, utensils, paper towels and a coffee/tea maker. If you would rather dine out, the resort has 21 Main steakhouse, Seaside Cafe, North Beach Pizza Co. and a poolside bar and grill.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, a hair dryer, towels, toilet paper, and complimentary shampoo and soap. Accessible design features are also provided for guests who need them.

Yes. The full kitchen, a dryer, an iron and ironing board, free WiFi, free local calls and housekeeping on request all suit a longer visit. Free on-site parking and a complimentary beach shuttle also help over a week or more.

It is family friendly, with children's books and a high chair available. Because the condo is set up for 2 guests, it works best for a couple with a very young child, or for adults who want a quiet base. The resort welcomes children of all ages, with kiddie pools and an indoor lazy river on site.

The resort has 6 outdoor pools, 2 outdoor kiddie pools, 4 outdoor hot tubs, an indoor pool, an indoor hot tub and an indoor lazy river.

The 17,000-square-foot Cinzia Spa is also on site, with treatments by advance reservation.

Check-in begins after 4:00 PM (the front desk is staffed 24 hours) and check-out is before 11:00 AM. Guests must be 25 or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The cardholder must present a photo ID and the card used to book. The resort no longer accepts cash and requires a credit card authorized for a $250 security deposit. Card-paying guests can instead opt for a non-refundable $49.99 plus tax 'Worry Free Vacation' fee. The resort is smoke-free, and smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas.

Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is roughly 13–17 miles away, about a 20–35 minute drive. The resort is listed among hotels offering a free airport shuttle to and from MYR. Once you arrive, the on-site shuttle links the towers, villas, dining and pool areas.
