THE PATRICIA GRAND - BY VACASA, Myrtle Beach

Located directly on the beach in the heart of Myrtle Beach, The Patricia Grand provides immediate access to the Atlantic Ocean and a short walk to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, SkyWheel, Second Avenue Pier, and hundreds of dining options. Major attractions like Broadway at the Beach, Coastal Grand Mall, and Tanger Outlets are within a few minutes by car. The resort is easily reached from US-501 (from the north) and US-17 Business (from the south). Myrtle Beach International Airport is about a 10-minute drive. The area is walkable for daily essentials, though a car is convenient for visiting wider-area attractions and shopping centers. The parking garage is across the street, so plan accordingly for loading and unloading.

Rooms range from hotel-style ocean-view rooms (sleeps 2, 1 king bed, small fridge, microwave) to efficiencies and 1-bedroom suites that sleep up to 6. Most efficiency and suite categories include a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, oven, refrigerator, kitchenware) - a major value for families and longer stays. Many units feature a private balcony with oceanfront or partial ocean views. Bed configurations include: 1 king, 2 full, 2 queen, 1 California king, plus sleeper sofas or Murphy beds in larger suites. All rooms have private bathrooms, cable TV with HBO, Wi-Fi, in-room safe, and coffee maker. Units are individually owned and decor may vary significantly - the exact unit you book is what you get. Some rooms are pet-friendly (up to 2 dogs, 9.1 kg limit). Standard hotel-style rooms are more compact; efficiency and 1-bedroom units offer more space and a sitting area.

Lunch (12-4 p.m.) offers sandwiches, burgers, salads, and cocktails. Dinner (5-9:30 p.m.) includes steaks, seafood, crab cakes, pasta, and kids' meals. Happy hour runs 3-6 p.m. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday; closed Monday and Tuesday (may vary by season). Ground Floor Cafe serves Starbucks coffee and light items. Stranded Jack's Beached Bar - a seasonal poolside bar - serves drinks during warmer months. For dinner, the restaurant menu includes appetizers from $6-$14 and entrees from $12-$31.
