The Sandy Beach Resort is a 228-room condo-style hotel with an excellent location just south of Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, next to the Family Kingdom Amusement Park. Although the hotel advertises itself as an "ultra-luxury" resort, it's more of a mid-range property, lacking an on-site restaurant and luxury amenities. Still, the rooms are among the nicest for the price in Myrtle Beach, with modern bedding and, in many, updated kitchens -- though the Magnolia Tower could use a bit of TLC. Guests may also want compare rates with the Anderson Ocean Club, though it's a bit farther from the boardwalk action.

For guests looking for an affordable pet-friendly hotel in Myrtle Beach, the Mermaid Inn offers a low-key beach experience without a lot of amenities. Renovated in 2013, the 57 rooms are cute and colorful and have mini-fridges and microwaves, but the bathrooms need renovations and there have been complaints of housekeeping issues. Amenities include an outdoor pool with a nice deck, but there's no restaurant or fitness center. Guests traveling without pets who are willing to spend a little more may want to check out the Crown Reef at South Beach Resort, a beachfront hotel with family-friendly amenities, including two waterslides, a lazy river, and an indoor splash area.
