The three-pearl Oceanfront Litchfield Inn is a beachfront property that mostly attracts families and couples who want an extended stay beach getaway. Apart from the beach, there are several restaurants and beach shops within a 10-minute walk. The 100 rooms are individually decorated, so some are more dated than others. However, they all have mini-fridges and microwaves, and some include kitchenettes, balconies, or ocean views. There are two outdoor pools, a pool bar, Austin’s Ocean One restaurant, and a simple cold breakfast. Drawbacks include a resort fee to cover Wi-Fi, breakfast, and parking, varying reports on Wi-Fi connectivity, and no gym. Travelers could also consider the Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort which has golf courses, a gym, and indoor pools.

Scene
Motel-like property with ocean views, and a clientele of families and couples
Oceanfront Litchfield Inn is more akin to a motel than an inn, as many of the rooms are accessed by exterior hallways. With a collection of individually-owned suites and rooms that vary in design and datedness, it also has the feel of a time-share property. The quality of a guests’ stay is often dependent on what type of unit they receive upon checking in. Overall, the atmosphere is quite laid-back compared to the party resorts in nearby Myrtle Beach. The lobby is contemporary, but mostly functional with just a small seating area with a wicker couch and two matching chairs. Rocking chairs by the entrance led a homey vibe. Most guests (both families and couples) congregate around the pool and bar area during the day.
Location
On the beach; a 10-minute walk to restaurants and a four-minute drive to a golf course
Oceanfront Litchfield Inn is perfect for families who don’t want to the leave the property, as it’s right on the beach and offers little else to do or see within walking distance. There are some dining and shopping options within a 10-minute walk away. The nearest grocery store (to stock the kitchens) is a 16-minute walk or three-minute drive from the property. The closest attraction is a golf course that takes four minutes to reach by car. It’s an 11-minute drive to Huntington Beach State Park and seven minutes by car to Pawley’s Island. Myrtle Beach is a good day trip at a 40-minute drive away. It takes a 36-minute drive to reach the Myrtle Beach International Airport.
Rooms
Individually decorated rooms with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and mini-fridges; some are more dated than others
