Check them out below:
- Litchfield Inn - Pawleys Island

- Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront - Hilton Head Island
TripAdvisor/Leonardo If it’s pools and amenities you’re seeking, then head to one of the only oceanfront hotels on Hilton Head Island. The hotel has three swimming pools and two hot tubs. As part of their Hilton Head location, they also have bike trails, golf, and more. Find out more.
- Hampton Inn & Suites - Myrtle Beach
TripAdvisor/Leonardo The Hampton Inn has a towering presence along the Grand Strand. You’ll love the three outdoor pools, including two lazy rivers, all of which dish up mesmerizing views of the Atlantic while you relax in the water, or on the deck. Find out more.
- The Breakers - Myrtle Beach
TripAdvisor/management This Myrtle Beach resort is super fun for the entire family. For starters, the lazy river (just like it sounds) winds all around the property, including under the hotel. Grab an inner tube and hop in! There are many room options to choose from, making it easy to find one to fit your needs. Most people leave great reviews about the cleanliness, affordability and location. Find out more.
- Tides - Folly Beach
TripAdvisor/management Billed as Charleston’s only oceanfront hotel, the Tides is located on Folly Beach and less than 10 miles from historic Charleston.

- The Palms Oceanfront Hotel - Isle of Palms
TripAdvisor/management Wake up to the roaring sounds of the ocean (and nothing else) at this secluded boutique hotel along the beach on the Isle of Palms. Restaurants and nightlife are steps away, but you won’t find a busy street full of loud cars for miles. Find out more.
- The Sanctuary - Kiawah Island
TripAdvisor/tmoyer2 Perhaps the most luxurious oceanfront hotel in the state, The Sanctuary offers an experience like no other. From their award-winning spa, to restaurants, and an oceanfront golf course, this resort is definitely one of a kind. Forbes awarded it five stars for excellence. Find out more.
