With its picturesque location and remodeled interior, the Aqua Beach Inn is a promising, new addition to Myrtle Beach's accommodation scene. Slated to open May 1, the hotel is undergoing a complete renovation and revamp. This chic, boutique hotel will be perfect for beachgoers who can enjoy relaxing in its comfortable setting, as well as adventure seekers, who may revel in its proximity to several area attractions. Located across from the Pier 14 Fishing Pier & Gift Shop and the north entrance of the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach, the hotel will also be within walking distance to Myrtle Beach's newest addition, the SkyWheel, as well as a bevy of restaurants, including the new Jimmy Buffet's Land Shark Bar & Grill.

Rooms

Aqua Beach Inn houses 60 newly remodeled rooms, with each featuring a scenic ocean view. Although the property doesn't sit oceanfront, no large buildings obstruct each room's view of the ocean and surrounding social beach scene from their large windows and balconies. Along with a charming view, each room is designed with contemporary beach infused décor, and each will also have a 32-inch flat panel television and full kitchen featuring stove, convection oven and microwave.

Aqua Beach Inn features a bevy of standard rooms featuring two queen beds, and will also offer three family suites that can accommodate six people comfortably, as well as suites with king size beds.

Amenities

The Aqua Beach Inn has a glass-enclosed pool, perfect for taking a dip to keep cool, as well as a sundeck and outside grill available for guests. If you wish to relax and take in the sights, the lobby will feature a comfortable lounge area complete with nostalgic Myrtle Beach photographs by area photographer Jack Thompson, as well as 24-hour coffee service. A pantry filled with necessities and light food items for sale will also be available for guests.

Free wireless Internet will be accessible to guests, and each room will also feature the customary amenities - ironing board, iron, coffee maker, and blow dryer.
