Growing up on the East Coast, my family's idea of a "beach vacation" was driving six hours to Myrtle Beach and staying at a motel where the carpet was perpetually damp and the ice machine was a suggestion, not a guarantee. Good times. Now that I've discovred the world of beach resort deals, I stay at actual oceanfront properties for less than that motel cost. Progress. Here are 20 East Coast beach deals that'll turn your next beach trip from mediocre to magnificent. Check all destinations for more options.
1. Westgate Myrtle Beach Oceanfront — $89/Night for 4 Nights
Right on the beach with ocean views from every room. Westgate's Myrtle Beach property has studios to two-bedroom suites, all with at least a kitchenette. The resort has a pool, lazy river, and direct beach access. At $89 you're saving big compared to the beachfront hotels that charge $200+ in season.
2. Wyndham Ocean Boulevard, Myrtle Beach — $99/Night for 5 Nights
Another Myrtle Beach winner. Ocean Boulevard lives up to its name — it's right on the ocean with a massive pool complex that includes an indoor pool, outdoor pool, and lazy river. The two-bedroom suites are great for families. Five nights for $99/night means less than $500 for a week at the beach. That's cheaper than staying home.
3. Outer Banks Beach Club, Kill Devil Hills — $109/Night for 4 Nights
The Outer Banks is where North Carolinians go to pretend they live on a remote island. This beach club has oceanfront condos with full kitchens and decks facing the Atlantic. Kill Devil Hills is where the Wright Brothers first flew, so you can pretend your vacation is educational. The OBX vibe is unlike anywhere else — wild, windswept, and wonderful.
4. Hilton Grand Vacations at McAlpin, Miami Beach — $169/Night for 3 Nights
South Beach for $169 a night is practically charity. The McAlpin is an Art Deco property right on Ocean Drive with rooftop pool views over the Atlantic. Units are studio-style but this is South Beach — you're not going to be spending much time in the room anyway. The nightlife, restaurants, and beach are all at your doorstep.
5. Marriott's OceanWatch, Myrtle Beach — $119/Night for 4 Nights
The luxury option in Myrtle Beach, OceanWatch has two-bedroom villas with full kitchens, a massive pool complex with a lazy river, and direct beach access on the south end of Myrtle Beach, away from the tourist chaos. The Marriott quality shows in every detail. The presentation is about two hours but the resort makes it worth the time.
6. Bluegreen Vacations at Atlantic Palace, Atlantic City — $79/Night for 3 Nights
Atlantic City for $79 a night on the Boardwalk. The Atlantic Palace has suites overlooking the ocean and the Boardwalk, a rooftop pool, and you're steps from casinos, restaurants, and Steel Pier. AC gets a bad rap but the beach is actually beautiful, the food scene has improved dramaticaly, and the deals are unbeatable.
7. Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront — $109/Night for 4 Nights
Virginia Beach's boardwalk is three miles of perfection, and this Wyndham property puts you right on it. Oceanfront rooms with kitchens, a nice pool, and that classic Virginia Beach charm. The Neptune Festival, craft breweries, and military aviation museum are all nearby. VB is seriously underrated as a beach destination.
8. Holiday Inn Club South Beach, Miami — $149/Night for 3 Nights
Another South Beach option, the Holiday Inn Club is a block from the beach with a rooftop pool that has ocean views. The studios have kitchenettes and modern decor. It's a more budget-friendly way to do South Beach without sacrificing location. Lincoln Road shopping and the best restaurants in Miami are walking distance.
9. Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort — $89/Night for 3 Nights
Oceanfront on Cocoa Beach with views of the Atlantic and Kennedy Space Center launches in the distance. Two-bedroom suites with full kitchens and balconies. The beach here is wider and less crowded than most Florida beaches. Plus, the proximity to Port Canaveral means you can watch cruise ships depart while sipping your morning coffee.
10. Ocean Reef Resort, Myrtle Beach — $95/Night for 4 Nights
A locally-owned oceanfront resort that runs promotional deals to fill rooms in shoulder season. The suites are well-maintained, the pool is right on the beach, and the staff is friendlier than at the big chain properties. Sometimes the independent resorts outperform the brands, and Ocean Reef is proof.
11. Wyndham Ocean Walk, Daytona Beach — $89/Night for 4 Nights
Right on Daytona Beach with an indoor/outdoor pool complex, lazy river, and direct beach access. The two-bedroom suites are spacious with full kitchens. Daytona's beaches are famous for a reason — they're wide, flat, and you can still drive on some sections. Just watch out for the cars while sunbathing.
12. Marriott's Barony Beach Club, Hilton Head — $139/Night for 4 Nights
Hilton Head is the classy cousin of Myrtle Beach. Barony Beach Club has oceanfront villas, gorgeous landscaping, and proximity to some of the best golf courses in the Southeast. The beach is pristine, the island is bike-friendly, and the restaurants are excellent. This is the "I want a nice beach vacation" option.
13. Bluegreen Vacations, Savannah — $99/Night for 3 Nights
Not technically a beach deal, but Tybee Island beach is 20 minutes away and Savannah itself is one of the most beautiful cities in America. The historic district, the food scene, and the ghost tours make this a unique beach-adjacent vacation. Stay in the city, day-trip to the beach. Best of both worlds.
14. Wyndham Bay Voyage, Jamestown RI — $119/Night for 3 Nights
New England beach vacation without the New England price tag. Bay Voyage is on Narragansett Bay with views, a pool, and easy access to Newport's mansions and beaches. Rhode Island has the best clam chowder on the East Coast (fight me, Boston), and the beaches are gorgeous in summer.
15. Ocean Pointe Suites, Key Largo — $149/Night for 3 Nights
The Florida Keys start at Key Largo, and this resort puts you right on the water with marina access, a pool, and suites with water views. Snorkeling at John Pennekamp State Park is a short drive, and the diving is world-class. Key Largo is less crowded and cheaper than Key West, but just as beautiful underwater.
16. Holiday Inn Club Cape Canaveral — $99/Night for 4 Nights
Space Coast beach vacation with Kennedy Space Center practically nextdoor. The resort has a pool, the beach is a short walk, and you can plan your visit around a SpaceX launch for a truly unique experience. Watch a rocket launch from the beach and then go back to your resort for a swim. Try doing that in Myrtle Beach.
17. Westgate South Beach Resort, Miami — $159/Night for 3 Nights
Westgate's South Beach property is boutique-style on Collins Avenue with a rooftop pool, modern rooms, and that unmistakable South Beach energy. Walking distance to Ocean Drive, Art Deco architecture, and some of the best nightlife on the East Coast. The deal comes directly through Westgate with a standard presentation.
18. Wyndham Seawatch Plantation, Myrtle Beach — $109/Night for 5 Nights
The south end of Myrtle Beach is quieter and more upscale, and Seawatch Plantation embodies that vibe. Two-bedroom condos with ocean views, multiple pool areas including a lazy river, and a beach that feels private even though it's not. Five nights at $109 is a week at the beach for under $600.
19. Sandcastle South Beach, Virginia Beach — $99/Night for 3 Nights
Centrally located on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk with oceanfront rooms and a pool. The Sandcastle is walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the Virginia Aquarium.

The premium Hilton Head pick. Monarch sits inside Palmetto Dunes resort community with golf, tennis, and a lagoon system perfect for kayaking.
