Live Rankings · Updated every 6 hours
Ranked by our editors against live DB pricing. Refreshed every 6 hours. Current #1 starts at $50.
Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand has 60 miles of beachfront and some of the most competitive oceanfront vacpack inventory in the US. Westgate Myrtle Beach Oceanfront, Bluegreen Shore Crest, HGV Ocean Enclave, and Spinnaker Resorts all run preview programs along the same stretch, which drives 3-night oceanfront-balcony deals down to $99-$149 most weeks.
Ranking weighs ocean-view category explicitly. A $79 "oceanfront view" room that turns out to be a sideways-facing 3rd-floor unit is worse than a $119 true oceanfront balcony. We specifically cite room category in each listing below.
The shoulder months (late August to mid-October and January-February) are the cheapest windows — summer crowds gone, water still warm through October, and the Grand Strand drops to retiree pace.
Our #1 is always the cheapest confirmed oceanfront-balcony category. Partial-view and side-ocean units rank lower despite lower prices.

Second is usually Bluegreen Shore Crest — slightly higher price but the units are larger and have better kitchen layouts for families.
3 Nights / 4 Days
Third is the HGV Ocean Enclave premium pick — $199-$299 range, but the newer tower has floor-to-ceiling balcony windows that justify the upgrade.

Second half of April through mid-May is post-spring-break and pre-Memorial Day. Best weather, smallest crowds.
Usually $15-$25/day and bundled into the vacpack price. Confirm at booking.
Pet-friendly options exist at some Spinnaker buildings and select Westgate units. Pet fees $50-$150.
HGV Ocean Enclave and select Marriott packages include 1-2 rounds per stay. See our golf-included sublander for Myrtle golf deals specifically.
Mid-May through early October. Peak summer (July-August) is hot and crowded; September has best combination of warm water, low crowds, mild temps.
