Planning a trip to the Mai Kai, but have been "flummoxed" trying to figure out a good place on the beach to stay............I am assuming that you don't really need a car if you are staying near the restaurant?? I think the beach area there is called the "Grand Strand?" is that correct?

I would be flying down from Maryland, probably in October - is that a good time of the year (not too hot in other words?) - just trying to pick anyone's brain to help me out.

Email me at [email protected] or post here, I'm open to lodging suggestions, etc. (Looking for decent lodging but nothing extravagant).

Thanks!

First, October is a great time of year. Not too hot.

My first suggestion is to look at North Beach Village Resorts. They have a wide variety of hotels which are all Mid Century Modern and well renovated and at various prices. You can usually get in at $130 a night or so. Just realize some of these places are clothing optional gay hotels, so, read the description! And not all are walking distance to the beach.

You might also check the Best Western Oceanfront to be right on the beach. Also maybe the Bahia Cabana if it is still open. Not the nicest, but you’re just sleeping there right? Great locals hangout, good food. Right across from the beach.

You can easily Uber or take a taxi to the Mai-Kai from any of these.
