“The Mermaid Inn appeals with its distinct Art Deco design, setting it apart in Myrtle Beach; its beachfront location and pet-friendly stance create a welcoming atmosphere for families. Direct beach access, combined with an outdoor pool and proximity to local attractions, ensures a balanced vacation. I think it's a reasonable choice for budget-conscious travelers.”
