Marion Three Bedroom House

The Marion Three Bedroom House at North Beach Resort & Villas sleeps up to 8 guests across three bedrooms. The beds are 1 King Bed, 1 Queen Bed, 2 Twin Beds and 1 Large Twin Sofa Bed. That makes it a good fit for two couples with children, or a group of friends or extended family who want their own bedroom space.

The house measures 1800 sq. ft. and is laid out as a three-bedroom, cottage-style residence with a full kitchen, a dining table and two private bathrooms. Hardwood flooring and an area rug give it a home-like feel, and each bedroom has air conditioning and blackout drapes for restful sleep.

The house enjoys views of the ocean and the resort grounds. North Beach Resort & Villas sits between Kings Highway and the Atlantic Ocean, and the beach is about a half-block walk from the villas. If you would rather not walk, you can call the resort's on-site golf-cart shuttle. From the front of the property the beach is roughly a 10-minute walk.

You can do either. The house has a full kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, dishware and utensils, plus a coffee/tea maker, paper towels and a dining table.

The house has two private bathrooms, each with a bathtub or shower. Towels, toilet paper, shampoo, soap and a hair dryer are provided. Two bathrooms make mornings easier when eight guests share the house.

North Beach Resort & Villas is listed among Myrtle Beach hotels with a free airport shuttle to and from Myrtle Beach International Airport, which is about 13–17 miles away.
